Planning the Installation
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when planning the installation
of your media converter.
ˆ The end-nodes connected to the twisted pair port or fiber optic port on
the media converter must operate at 10 Mbps.
ˆ The end-nodes connected to the ports of the media converter must
be able to operate in the same duplex mode. These units can operate
in either full- or half-duplex mode.
ˆ The twisted pair cabling must be kept away from sources of electrical
noise, such as radios, transmitters, power lines, broadband
amplifiers, electrical motor, and fluorescent fixtures.
Selecting a Site
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when selecting a site for your
media converter.
ˆ Select a site that is dust-free and moisture-free.
ˆ Select a site that will allow you to easily access the data cables and
power cord.
ˆ Use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to supply reliable
power to the device.
ˆ Use the power sources described in “External Power Adapter” on
page 20.
Note
Use only power sources that are UL Listed (QQGQ or EPBU), TUV
Licensed or other Safety Agencies approved, and that are suitable
