Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Converter.
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme
temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet
the following requirements:
The ambient temperature should be between 0 to 50 degrees Celsius (32 and 122 degrees
Fahrenheit).
The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for
IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes of
the equipment.
The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
Connecting to Power
This Converter is a plug-and-play device.
Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle at the back of the converter.
Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet.
Installing in a Chassis
The Converter is designed to fit into any of the expansion slots on a rackmount chassis.
Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis.
Fit the converter onto the carrier.
When the converter is completely seated onto the carrier, insert the carrier to the guide rails of the
expansion slot.
Carefully slide in the carrier until it is fully and firmly fit the chassis.
Fasten the carrier to the chassis by the screws.
<NOTE> Never insert any converter into the chassis directly without using the
supplied carriers. The carriers allow secure and consistent placement of the
converters into the chassis’ backplane without causing any damage.

Converter Configuration
Jumbo Frame (9K): The media converter could pass the max 9KB packet if this function
is enabled.
Link Transparent: If the Link Transparent (Link-Fault-Pass-Through) is enabled, the Link
Loss Carry Forward will be active.
Link Loss Carry Forward: If this function is enabled, when the UTP port link down, the
fiber port will be forced link down. And the fiber will be resumed when UTP port link up.
Forward CRC Error Frame: The CRC error packets will be passed if this function is
enabled. Otherwise the CRC error packets will be dropped.
Forward Pause Frame: The media converter will forward pause frame and regard it as a
normal packet if this function is enabled.
Management Packet High Priority: Need to reset media converter then this function will
take effect. All management packets will be allocated to high priority queue to guarantee
bandwidth when Management Packet High Priority is enabled. Media converter will
enable QoS and four queues and set queue 3 as strict priority if this function is enabled.
All management packets such as 802.3ah OAM and SNMP packets will be in queue 3 to
guarantee bandwidth.
Broadcast Storm Filter: If this function is enabled, when too many broadcast packets
arrive in a period time, the broadcast packets will be dropped.
Multicast Storm Filter: If this function is enabled, when too many multicast packets arrive
in a period time, the multicast packets will be dropped.

“Ingress Rate Limit” drop-down menu to choose the “User Setting” from the “Ingress
Rate Limit” drop-down list for TP or FX port. Then click in “Ingress Rate Limit” text box
and type an ingress rate limit for TP or FX port. The ingress rate limit should be divided
exactly by 64 because 64kbps is as a minimal step for ingress rate limit. The program
will change the ingress rate limit to 64 automatically if the ingress rate limit is not divided
by 64, for example 65.
Egress Rate Limit (kbps): Click “Egress Rate Limit” drop-down menu to choose the
egress rate limit from the “Egress Rate Limit” drop-down list for TP or FX port. Or click
