Getting Connected
Powering On Unit
The Converter uses an AC power supply 100~240V
AC, 50~60 Hz. The Converter's power supply
automatically self-adjusts to the local power source
and may be powered on without having any or all LAN
segment cables connected.
1.
Insert the power cable plug directly into the
receptacle located at the back of the device.
2. Plug the power adapter into an available socket.
Note:
For International use, you may need to change the AC
power adapter cord. You must use a power cord set that
has been approved for the receptacle type and electrical
current in your country.
Warning
Please exercise caution when using power tools. Also,
install this unit away from damp or wet locations, or in
close proximity to very hot surfaces. These types of
environments can have a detrimental effect on the
converter and cables. An ideal location is a lightly
cooled place such as a typical equipment room.
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from
the aperture of the port when no cable is connected,
avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into
open apertures.

Connecting Fiber Cable
When connecting fiber cable to a 100BASE-FX port
on the Converter, be sure the correct type - ST or SC
or WDM - connector is used. Follow the steps below
to properly connect fiber cable:
1.
Remove and keep the ST/SC/WDM port's rubber
cover. When not connected to a fiber cable, the
rubber cover should be replaced to protect the
optics.
2.
Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You
can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently
with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a
little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic
cables will impair the quality of the light
transmitted through the cable and lead to
degraded
performance on the port.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the ST/SC/WDM
