2.5 Install the Media Converter
This section describes how to install your Gigabit Media Converter and make connections to the Gigabit Media Converter. Please
read the following topics and perform the procedures in the order being presented. The hardware installation of Gigabit Media
Converter do not need software configuration. To install your Gigabit Media Converter on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the
following steps.
2.5.1 Stand-alone Installation
The MCR300-1T-2S is with high reliability and flexibility to extend the distance up to 550m and 10 /20 /30 /60 / 70km. It depends on
the 1000Base-SX / LX SFP transceiver modules; the SFP transceiver is hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug-in and out
the transceiver to / from any SFP port without having to power down the Gigabit Media Converter.
To install a MCR300-1T-2S stand-alone, on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps:
Step 1 : Turn off the power of the device/station in a network to which the MCR300-1T-2S will be attached.
Step 2 : Ensure that there is no activity in the network.
Step 3 : Slot in the 1000Base-X SFP module. Make sure both side of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type, for example:
1000Base-SX / 550m multi-mode to 1000Base-SX / 550m multi-mode, 1000Bas-LX / 10km single mode to 1000Base-LX /
10km single mode.

Step 4: Connect the fiber cable. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable into the SFP transceiver.
Step 5 : Attach fiber cable from the MCR300-1T-2S to the fiber network. TX, RX must be paired at both ends.
Step 6 : Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the MCR300-1T-2S and verify that the Power LED lights up.
Step 7 : Turn on the power of the device/station; the LINK LED should light when all cables are well attached.
1. It is recommends using IFS S30 series SFP modules for the Gigabit Media Converter. If you insert
a SFP transceiver that is not supported, the Gigabit Media Converter will not recognize it. Please
check appendix or go visit our WEB site for details specification information.
2. To prevent from optic acceptor malfunction, check the both wires / transmitter before power on the
converter.
3. To remove the SFP module, please remove the fiber connectors in advanced and push the belt or
letch of the module. Pull out the module with violent may damage the module and the Gigabit Media
Converter.
