LED Indicators
The diagnostic LEDs located on the front panel of the industrial media converter provide
real-time system information and optional status. The table below describes the LED
status and their meaning for the media converter.
LED Color Description
P1 Green On Power input 1 is active
Off Power input 1 is inactive
P2 Green On Power input 2 is active
Off Power input 2 is inactive
Fault Red

Off Not connected to network
100M (RJ-45) Yellow On Linking to 100Mbps network
Off Linking to 10Mbps network or disconnected
LNK/ACT (RJ-
45) Green
On Connected to network
Flashing Networking is active
Off Not connected to network
FWD Green On The port is supplying power to the powered-device
Off No powered-device attached or power supplying failed

6
DIP-Switch
The DIP-Switch is used to configure operation mode for LLF (Link Loss
Forwarding)/LFP (Link Fault Pass-Through), and operation mode for UTP/Fiber port.
The default value of the DIP-switch is OFF.
S/W No Status Description
1 ON Enables Port/Power Alarm
OFF Disable Port/Power Alarm
2 ON Enables LLF/LFP
OFF Disables LLF/LFP
3 ON 100Base-FX Half-mode
OFF 100Base-FX Full-mode
4 ON Media mode (100TX to 100FX)
OFF Switching mode
LLF/LFP (DIP-Switch 2): Enabling LLF/LFP allows UTP/STP link failures to be
reported to the fiber side and also allow Fiber link failures to be reported to the
UTP/STP side. Therefore, the LLF/LFP feature is available in both UTP/STP and Fiber
side.
Media mode (DIP-Switch 4): When media mode is enabled (ON), it operates with
minimum latency. The transmission flow does not wait until the entire frame is ready,
but instead forwards the received data immediately while data is being received. The
TP port should be forced at 100M in this application. When the DIP-Switch is set at
switching mode (OFF), the function is the same as a Switch/Hub.
Note
Please don’t change the DIP-switch setting when UTP/STP or
fiber port is transmitting or receiving data. It may cause data
errors. If you change the DIP-switch setting, please power off the
media converter and power on again to make the setting
effective.

7
Ports
RJ-45 ports
The UTP (RJ-45) Fast Ethernet ports will auto-sense 10Base-T or 100Base-TX
connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that the media converter can connect to another
switch or workstation without changing straight through or crossover cabling. See the
figures below for straight through and crossover cable schematic.

Note
“+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire
pair.
All ports on this industrial media converter supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,
user can use straight-through cables (See figure below) for all network connections to
PCs/servers, or to switches/hubs. For straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one
end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of
the cable. The table below shows the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDI and MDI-X port pin
outs.

Fiber Port
The fiber port is an SC type connector that is either multi mode (2Km) or single mode
(30Km).
When you connect the fiber port to another device, please follow the figure below to
connect accordingly. Wrong connection will cause the port to not work correctly.
ATTENTION This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Don’t stare into
the Laser/LED Beam.

9
Cabling
Twisted-pair segments can be connected with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. The cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3u
100Base TX standard for Category 5. The cable between the converter and the link
partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
Fiber segments using single-mode connector type must use 9/125µm single-mode
fiber cable. Users can connect two devices at a distance up to 30 Kilometers.
Fiber segments using multi-mode connector type must use 50 or 62.5/125 µm
multi-mode fiber cable. Users can connect two devices up to 2 Kilometers.

Wiring the Power Inputs
Please follow the steps below to insert the power wires.
Insert the positive and negative wires into the V+ and V- contacts on the terminal block
connector.
Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent wires from loosening.

11
Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact
The fault alarm contacts are in the middle of terminal block connector as the picture
shows below. Inserting the wires, it will detect the fault status including power failure or
port link failure (managed industrial switch only) and form an open circuit. An application
example for the fault alarm contact is shown below:
Insert the wires into the fault alarm contacts.
Note
The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the range
between 12~ 24 AWG.

12

Network Application
This segment provides an example to help users understand an industrial media
converter application. For a sample application using the industrial media converter,
see figure below.

17
Troubles shooting
Verify that the right power cord/adapter (DC 48V) is being used, please do not use a
power adapter with DC output voltage higher than 48V, or it will burn the converter.
Select the proper UTP/STP cable to construct your network. Please check that the
right cable is being used. Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair
(STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100ΩCategory 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps
connections, 100ΩCategory 5 cable for 100Mbps connections, or 100ΩCategory
5e/above cable for 1000Mbps. Also, be sure that the length of any twisted-pair
connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Diagnosing LED Indicators:To assist in identifying problems, the Media Converter
can be easily monitored through panel indicators, which describe common problems
users may encounter and where users can find possible solutions.
If the power indicator does not light up when the power cord is plugged in, users
may have a problem with the power cord. Check for loose power connections,
power losses or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the problem,
contact the local dealer for assistance.
If the Industrial Media Converter LED indicators are normal and the connected
cables are correct but the packets still do not transmit. Please check your system’s
Ethernet devices’ configuration or status.
