INSTALLING THE CONVERTER
6.1 Stand-alone Installation
FT-1105A/FT-1205A is with high reliability and flexibility to
extend the distance up to 2Km, 20Km, or longer. It depends on
the 100Base-FX SFP transceiver modules. The SFP transceivers
are hot-plugable and hot-swappable. You can plug-in and out the
transceiver to/from any SFP port without having to power down
the converter.
To install a FT-1105A/FT-1205A 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 FT-1105A / FT-1205A will be attached.
Step 2: Ensure that there is no activity in the network.
Step 3: Slot in the 100Base-FX SFP. Make sure both side of the
SFP transfer are with the same media type, for example:
100Base-FX/2km to 100Base-FX/2km, 100Bas-FX/20km
to 100Base-FX/20km.
