3. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device is powered
on to verify that the Power LED is lit. If not, check that
the power cable is correctly and securely plugged in.
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.
Connecting Fiber Cable
When connecting fiber cable to a 100BaseFX port on the
Converter, be sure the correct type – ST or SC - connector
is used. Follow the steps below to properly connect fiber
cable:
1. Remove and keep the ST/SC 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 port on the
Converter and the other end to the ST/SC port on the
other device.
4. Check the corresponding port LED on the Converter to
be sure that the connection is valid. (Refer to the LED
chart in next section.)
Note: When inserting the cable if SC connectors are used, be sure the tab
on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
