Note
This step does not apply if you are mounting a 12VDC-version
converter in an AT-MCR12 chassis.
For instructions on how to apply power to an AT-FS201, AT-FS202,
or AT-FS202SC/FS1 Bridging Media Converter, refer to “Connecting
a 12VDC Powered Unit” on page 28.
8. Remove the dust cover from the fiber optic port and connect the fiber
optic cable to the 100Base-FX port.
When attaching a fiber optic cable, be sure to observe the following
guidelines:
ˆ Be sure that the cable connector is firmly locked into place in the
port.
ˆ You should verify that you are using the appropriate type of fiber
optic cabling. Refer to Table 4 on page 18 for fiber optic cabling
specifications.
ˆ You should verify that the operating specifications of the
converter’s fiber optic port are compatible with the fiber optic port
on the remote end-node. For example, you cannot connect a fiber
optic port with a maximum distance of 2 kilometers and an
operating wavelength of 1310 nm to another fiber optic port that
has a maximum distance of 40 kilometers (24.8 miles) and an
operating wavelength of 1550 nm.
ˆ Dual SC ports consist of two separate connectors. Each connects
to a separate fiber strand. One is for receiving data and the other
is for transmitting data. When connecting a fiber optic cable to a
SC port, be sure that the receiver fiber connector is connected to
the transmitter connector on the remote end-node, and the
transmitter fiber connector is connected to the receiver connector
on the remote node.
9. Connect the twisted pair cable to the 10Base-T/100Base-TX port.
When connecting a twisted pair cable to a port, observe the following
guidelines:
ˆ An RJ-45 connector should fit snugly into the port on the
converter. The tab on the connector should lock the connector
into place.
