If one end node is capable of only half-duplex mode while the other end
node will auto-negotiate the duplex mode, set the channel setting to
half-duplex. (Failure to set the channel to half-duplex in this situation

where one node will operate in half-duplex while the other node will
operate in full-duplex. This can result in poor network performance.)

Installing the Media Converter in a Rack
To install the unit in a 19-inch rack, perform the following steps:
1.
Remove all equipment from the shipping package and store the package

If you purchased an optional redundant power supply for the media
converter, install the redundant power supply by following the directions
included with the unit.

power supply unless you intend to install the unit.
