Introduction

2ADAM-6542 manual
1.1 Introduction
The ADAM-6542 is an industrial grade converter which is designed to con-
vert Ethernet network to fiber network. It transparently converts Ethernet
signals into optic signals. The advantages of Fiber optic are wide bandwidth,
anti-EMI,and verysuitable forlong-distance transmission.Therefore, ADAM-
6542 is an ideal solution for “fiber to building”application in central offices or
local sites.
The ADAM-6542 provides three ways to be fixed in any industrial environ-
ments: DIN Rail, panel, piggyback mounting. The ADAM-6542 also supplies
+10~30 VDC operating voltage over the terminal block. In addition, the oper-
atingtemperature of theADAM-6542 isfrom -10~70°C.The above functions
make the ADAM-6542 a more stable and reliable industrial grade converter.
WDM Single Strand Fiber
TheADAM-6542adopts WDM(WavelengthDivisionMultiplexing) technol-
ogy that increases the information carrying capacity of fiber via multiplex
transmit and receive signals at different wavelengths on single strand cable.
The WDM technology is implemented in two sites: one is installed in the
ADAM-6542/W15, with transmitting channel of 1550nm and receiving chan-
nel of 1310nm. The other site is installed in the ADAM6542/W13, with trans-
mitting channel of 1310nm and receiving channel of 1550nm. Both transmit-
ting and receiving channel of ADAM- 6542/W15 and ADAM-6542/W13 are
multiplexed to a single strand cable. You can save half cabling cost when you
use ADAM-6542/W15 and ADAM-6542/W13 instead of your original dual
fiber converter.
High-SpeedTransmission
The ADAM-6542 supports MDI/MDI-X of auto detection. You don’t need to
crossover yourself. It also includes a switch controller that can automatically
sense transmission speed (10/100 Mbps). Both Ethernet port and fiber port
have memory buffers that support store-and-forward mechanism; it assures
data can be transmitted properly.
Flexible Mounting
The ADAM-6542 is extremely compact and it can be mounted via three
different ways. DIN rail, panel and piggyback mounting.

Chapter 1 Introduction 3
Easy to trouble-shoot
The ADAM-6542 provides three LED indicators: Power, Link, 10/100Mbps
which let you trouble shoot easier.
Robust enough for industrial environment
The ADAM-6542 can normally work from -10°C to 70°C, and accepts wide
unregulated voltage range from +10 ~ 30 VDC. Beside, it also provides
3,000 VDC surge protection from over-voltage damages. It is suitable for any
harsh operating environment.

6ADAM-6542 manual
In this chapter, you will be given an overview of the ADAM-6542 hardware
installation procedures.
2.1 Front / RearView
There are six network LEDs located on the top panel of ADAM-6542, each
with its own specific function.
LED Color Description
Power Green Power is On
Off Power is Off
Link (100Base-Fx) Green Link to 100Mbps
Off Not networking

2.2 Connecting the Hardware
Next, we will explain how to find a proper location for your ADAM-6542,
connect to the network, hook up the power cable, and connect to the ADAM-
6542Ethernetport.
2.2.1 Choosing a Location
Due to its versatility and innovative design, the ADAM-6542 can be:
•fixed to a panel mount
•fixedto aDINRail
•Piggyback Stack
Panel Mounting
The ADAM-6542 can be attached to a wall using the included metal brackets.
Each bracket comes with four screws; first attach the brackets to the bottom of
the ADAM-6542, then screw each bracket to a wall.
Figure 2-3 Panel Mounting

8ADAM-6542 manual
DIN Rail Mounting
You can mount the ADAM-6542 on a standard DIN Rail. First, using two
screws, attach the metal plate to the DIN Rail bracket. Because the screw
heads are beveled, the tops of the screws will be flush with the metal plate. Din
Rail Mounting Brackets-Orientation of Metal Plates You can now screw the
metal plate with the DIN rail bracket assembly to the bottom of the server is a
more convenient way. Next, use the remaining screws to put the metal plate on
the bottom of the ADAM-6542.

2.3 Network Connection
2.3.1 Connection to the devices
The ADAM-6542 consists of one fiber and one RJ-45 port.
Each of the converter’s twisted-pair ports can be used to connect a station or
other device. Use a straight-through twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors
on both ends. The twisted-pair cable extended from a twisted-pair port is
called a “twisted-pair segment,”and it can be up to 100 meters long. You can
connect any RJ-45 (MDI-X) station port on the switch to any device that uses
a standard network interface such as a workstation or server.
2.3.2 Connection to other Hubs or Switch
ADAM-6542 has a RJ-45 port that supports the connection to 10Mbps
Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet.. ADAM-6542 can be connected to other
hub or switch via a two-pair straight through cable or crossover cable. The
connection can be made from any ADAM-6542 port (MDIX) to other Hub or
Switch either MDI-X port or uplink MDI port.
ADAM-6542 supports auto crossover to network users’connections more
easily and flexibly. You can connect any RJ-45 (MDI-X) station port on the
switch to any device such as a switch or a bridge or router.
2.3.3 Connection to fiber network
Connecting to fiber network segment with three-bud fiber. You can use fiber
standardsvia 8.3/125,8.7/125,9/125 or10/125µmsinglemode fiber.With fiber
optic, it transmits speed up to 100 Mbps and you can prevent noise interfer-
ence from the system and transmission distance up to 20 km for WDM (Wave-
lengthDivisionMultiplexing)

Chapter 2 Installation 11
2.3.4 PowerConnection
You should take the following steps to connect the ADAM-6542 power.
1. Connect the power cable to 2-pin connector
2. Connect power cable to power adapter
Note: Please plug in a dust cover of fiber port to prevent from dust as
you don’t use fiber port.
