Caution
When connecting a power cord, you should always plug the power cord
into the media converter first. Only after it has been securely installed
should you plug the power cord into a power source.
Warning
Power cord is used as a disconnection device: To de-energize
equipment, disconnect the power cord.
10
If you installed an optional redundant power supply, you should connect
the media converter’s two power cords to power outlets that are on
different circuits. This will protect the media converter from a loss of
power should a power circuit fail.
7. Remove the dust covers from the fiber optic ports.
Laser
Do not stare into the laser beam.

8. Connect the twisted pair cables and fiber optic cables to their respective
ports. As you connect the cables, observe these guidelines:
❑
To connect a hub or switch to a twisted pair port, use a straight-
through cable.
❑
To connect a workstation to a twisted pair port, use a crossover cable.
❑
With ST fiber optic connectors, be sure to correctly connect the cables
to the port connectors: that is, the transmitting (TX) fiber optic cable
should be connected to the RX port and the receiving cable should be
connected to the TX port.
9. Set each DIP switch to reflect the duplex mode of the two end nodes
connected to the ports of the corresponding channels.
Below are guidelines to help you in setting a channel’s duplex mode.
❑
If both end nodes connected to the two ports on a channel are capable
of only half-duplex mode, set the channel to half-duplex (HDX).
❑
If both end nodes are capable of full-duplex mode, set the channel to
full-duplex (FDX).
❑
If both end nodes can auto-negotiate the duplex mode, set the channel
to full-duplex.
