AT-PC2002/POE Media Converter Installation Guide

Selecting a Location

Here are the guidelines for choosing a location for the media converter:

The power outlet should be located near the unit and be easily
accessible.

The site should provide easy access to the ports on the front of the
chassis so that you can easily connect and disconnect the network
cables, as well as view the unit’s LEDs.

Air flow around the unit and through the side and rear vents should be
unrestricted.

Do not place objects on top of the chassis.

Do not expose the device to moisture or water.

Make sure that the site is in a dust-free environment.

Use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to supply reliable
electrical power to the network devices

If you are installing the chassis on a table, be sure the table is level
and secure.

Keep the media converter chassis and the twisted pair cable away
from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, electric motors,
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent
fixtures.
