10/100/1000T TO 1000SX/LX SFP MEDIA CONVERTER

4 Installation

In this chapter, we will take a look at how to install the Converter within its operating

environment. To install your Media Converter, please see the following procedures:

• Location

• 10/100/1000Base-T port

• Gigabit SFP slot

• Link Fault Signaling

• Desktop installation

• Powering on unit

4.1 Location

The location selected for installing the Converter may greatly affect its performance.

When selecting a site, we recommend considering the following rules:

1. Install the Converter in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for

the acceptable temperature and humidity operating environments.

2. Install the Converter in a location free from strong electromagnetic field generators

(such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

3. Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the unit for ventilation.

4. Affix the provided rubber pads to the bottom of the Converter for grip, and to

protect the case from scratching.

4.2 10/100/1000Base-T Port (RJ-45)

The auto MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation on the RJ-45 port alleviates the worry of

cabling configuration when connecting the Converter with a 10/100/1000Base-T device.

It accepts both ‘straight-through’ and ‘cross-over’ Ethernet cables without the need to

re-configure the port. Whether connecting to a switch, LAN card, or other network

device via the RJ-45 port, simply plug and go!

4.3 Gigabit SFP Slot

To connect a fiber cable’s connector to the Converter’s SFP slot, slide the selected

SFP module (mini-GBIC) into the SFP slot, making sure that the module’s receptors

line up with the receptors at the back of the slot. Push until you hear a click. Once the

module is inserted correctly, take the cable connector and turn it so that it will fit into

the mouth of the module. Then push the connector into the mouth until its catches click

into the receiving grooves in the module’s mouth. Use the appropriate type of multi-

mode or single-mode fiber, depending on the SFP module being used. The fiber optics

transmit data at up to 1000Mbps and can maintain data integrity over cable distances

as long as 60km, depending on the selected SFP (mini-GBIC) module.

Warning:

Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture

of the fiber port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to

laser radiation and do not stare into the open apertures.
