node will auto-negotiate the duplex mode, set the channel setting to

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
in a safe place.

Caution

Do not remove the dust covers from the fiber optic ports on the media
converter until you are ready to connect the cables. Dust contamination
can adversely impact the operation of the fiber optic ports.

2.

Select a level, secure surface to prepare the media converter.

3.

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.

Do not remove the panel covering the expansion slot for the redundant
power supply unless you intend to install the unit.

4.

Place the mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the
unit.
