  •  Do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 75°C.
  •  The installation site should be well ventilated.
  •  Be sure that the Media Converter is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions.
  •  The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and humidity.

Installing

Desk Mounting

  1.  Connect one end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the converter is mounted.
  2.  Secure the grounding lug to the grounding point with the washers and screws.

CAUTION : The earth connection must not be removed unless all supply connections have been disconnected.

Connecting to the Power

  1.  Loosen the wire-clamp screws and insert positive and negative DC power wires into terminal block for power.
  2.  Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from loosening.
  3.  Plug terminal block into the power connector and finish powering up.FS IMC-FA1F1T Mini Industrial Ethernet Media Converter 15
  4. Connect the power adapters to the media converters and verify that the Power LED lights up.

Connecting to the RJ45 Port

17

  1.  Insert an SFP module into the SFP slot.
  2.  Connect a fiber optic cable to the SFP module. Plug the other end of the fiber optic cable to the fiber network.

NOTE : Both multimode and single mode cablings are supported. Make sure both side of the SFP module are with the same media type.

Connecting to the SC Port

Connect a fiber optic cable to the SC port. Plug the other end of the fiber optic cable to the fiber network. D< and RX must be paired at both ends.

NOTE : The media converter is installed with SC port transceiver as default.

Troubleshooting

The per port LED is not lit
Check the cable connection of the Media Converter.

Performance is bad
Check the speed duplex mode of the partner device. The Media Converter usually runs in auto-negotiation mode. If the partner is set to half duplex, the performance will be poor.

Per port LED is lit, but the traffic is irregular
Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate full duplex. Some devices use a physical or software switch to change duplex modes. Auto- negotiation may not recognize this type of full-duplex setting.

The Media Converter doesn’t connect to the network
Check per port LED on the Media Converter. Make sure the cable is installed properly. Make sure the cable is the right type. Turn off the power. After a while, turn on the power again.
