Installing the Media Converter
The following procedure explains how to install the media converter in your
network.
Note
When two media converters are connected back-to-back with no twisted
pair cables connected, the LNK LEDs on the fiber port may flash. This
is normal and will not affect the normal operation of the units. Refer to
Figure 5 on page 8 for an example of a back-to-back topology.
To install the unit, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove all equipment from the package and store the packaging material
in a safe place.
Note
Do not remove the dust cover from the fiber optic port until you are
ready to connect the fiber optic cable. Dust contamination can adversely
impact the operating performance of the port and the media converter.
2. If you are installing the media converter on a desktop, attach the four
protective feet to each corner of the base of the unit. Do not attach the
protective feet if you are installing the unit in an AT-MCR12
chassis.
Figure 6 Attaching the Protective Feet
3. If you are installing the media converter in an AT-MCR12 chassis, refer to
the chassis’ installation guide for instructions on how to install the unit,
then proceed to Step 6.
4. Place the media converter on a level, secure surface (such as a desk or
table), leaving ample space around the unit for ventilation.
