Operation
Power the Media Converter
1.
Connect the barrel connector on the power adapter to the media
converter’s power port (located on the back of the media converter).
2.
Connect the power adapter plug to AC power.
3.
Verify that the media converter is powered by observing the illuminated
LED power indicator light.
For DC power, consult the user’s guide for the Transition Networks SPS1872-
xx DC external power supply for powering the media converter.
NOTE:
The external power supply provided with this product is UL listed by
the power supply’s manufacturer.
Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs to monitor the media converter and the network
connections.
PWR (Power)
On = Connection to external AC or DC power.
FLNK (Fiber Link)
On = Fiber link connection.
Flashing = Fiber network activity.
FDPX (Fiber Duplex)
On = Full-duplex fiber connection.
Off = Half-duplex fiber connection.
TLKN (Twisted-Pair Link)
On = Copper link connection.
Flashing = Copper network activity.
TDPX (Twisted-Pair Duplex)
On = Full-duplex copper connection.
Off = Half-duplex copper connection.
TSPD (Twisted-Pair Speed)
On = 100 Mb/s.
Off = 10 Mb/s.
