CHAPTER 4: Installation

NOTES

* Setting the NWay mode is feasible while the media converter is online.

If you experience the following problems, make sure that the NWay
switch is properly set.

1. The LNK LED is not lit and the connection cannot be established.

2. The LNK LED is lit and the connection is fine, but the converter can’t

transmit or receive data.

3. The converter functions properly for a while, then it does not work.

When you power off the converter, then power it on again, it returns
to functioning properly.

** Enabling the LLB or RLB function means that the converter’s normal

function will stop.

While performing the local or remote loopback test, make sure the
network has more than 50% of fully loaded traffic. Less traffic will dim
the indicator.

4.4 Installing the Converter

NOTE

The devices attached to each port can be connected and operating in
any sequence, but the factory-recommended procedure is as follows.

1. Power OFF the converter.

2. Set the DIP switches (ON or OFF).

3. Power ON the converter.

4. Connect the fiber links.

5. Connect the copper links.

4.5 Desktop Installation

Follow the instructions below to install the converter on a desktop.

1. Place the converter in a clean, flat, and safe position that has easy access to AC

power.

2. Affix the four self-adhesive rubber feet to the converter’s underside.

3. Apply AC power to the converter. (The rear-panel PWR LED should light.)
