INSTALLATION
Set Switches
Use small flatblade screwdriver or similar device to set recessed switches
according to site installation.
•
Set the MDI/MDI-X switch to MDI for cable connection between hub
and media converter. Set the MDI/MDI-X switch to MDI-X for cable
connection between media converter and terminal, transceiver or
network interface card (NIC).
•
Referring to drawing on page 2, set four-position switch according to
network configuration.
Install Slide-In-Module in E-MCC-1600 Chassis
•
Remove Media Converter Slide-in-Module protective plate from selected
installation slot by removing two (2) screw that secures plate to front of
E-MCC-1600.
•
Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into installation slot,
aligning Media Converter Slide-in-Module with installation guides.
NOTE: Ensure that the Media Converter Slide-in-Module is firmly seated
against backplane.
•
Secure Slide-in-Module by installing panel fastener screw attached to
Slide-in-Module.
Install Cable
COPPER
NOTE: KEEP TWISTED PAIR RUNS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE.
•
Locate or build 802.3 compliant cables with straight through
configuration and male RJ-45 plug connectors.
•
Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at one end of cable to media
converter RJ-45 jack connector.
•
Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of cable to DTE
terminal RJ-45 jack connector (setting MDI switch to MDI-X) or to Hub
RJ-45 jack connector (setting MDI switch to MDI).
FIBER
•
Locate or build 802.3 compliant fiber cable with male two-stranded TX
to RX connectors appropriate to the media converter installed at both
ends.
•
Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at one end of cable to TX
and RX female connectors, respectively, on media converter.
•
Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at other end of cable to RX
and TX connectors of 802.3 compliant fiber device.
