4.7 Fiber Ethernet Communication
If the communication system is Fiber Ethernet, look for:
• an indoor media converter connected to the network and to fiber cable.
• a second media converter outdoors located in an enclosure at the display.
Figure 21: Fiber Ethernet Communication Layout
Connections
• Computer to network − RJ45 cable from computer port into network switch/router.
• Network switch to first media converter − RJ45 cable into media converter.
• Media converter’s 9 VAC power adaptor plugged into 120 VAC outlet.
• Indoor media converter to outdoor media converter − two fiber-optic cables run from
indoor media converter to second converter in the enclosure at display.
• Enclosure to display − quick-connect cable to the middle jack on display back.
DO NOT SHARPLY BEND fiber-optic cable at any point along the fiber cable.
Troubleshooting
Component Check:
Cable
Connections:
• The serial cable is connected from the computer to the network switch/router.
• The network cable connects from network switch to the media converter in building.
• The indoor media converter power adaptor is plugged in.
• The fiber cables connect from the first media converter to the second one at display.
The “out” arrow on one will connect to an “in” arrow on the other.
• The cable is connected from the enclosure to middle jack on display back.
Diagnostic
LEDs
• Each media converter has a green power LED on, indicating power.
• When the media converter transmits data, the “link” is ON and the RX LEDs flash.
Display
Power:
• The display is either running a message or showing a single pixel flashing in the
bottom right corner of the display when power is on.
Software:
• The software is configured for TCP/IP communication.
• The software and the display are set for the same network address.
• Refer to the software manual for other possible conditions.
