NX MEDIA CONVERTER
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
™
2.4 INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Attach the RJ45 Port of the NX Media Converter to the NX Bridge (NXHNB2) or NX PoE Switch via Cat5 or Copper Ethernet Cable.
2. Attach the ber port of the NX Media Converter to a 100Base-X Fast Ethernet Device (in this case, it would be a NX Media Converter) via an
appropriate ber cable.
3. Use dual-ber multimode cable with ST connectors (OM1 62.5/125, OM2/OM3/OM4 50/125) . See picture below for reference.
4. The NX Media Converter transmitter (Tx) must attach to the receiver side of its link partner; the receiver (Rx) must attach to the transmitter.
Note: In this application, you would need to connect two ber cables, so that the data can ow in both directions. See Figure 2 for reference.
5. Connect the provided AC Adapter to the Media Converter, shown below.
a. Connect power adapter DC plug to the DC input jack located on the back of the converter before connecting to the AC outlet.
b. To ensure against accidental disconnection, tie the DC cable with the cable tie if needed.
c. Connect the power adapter to the AC outlet.
d. Check Power LED indication. Green indicates DC power is applied and the converter is “ON”.
6. The NX Media Converter has 4 DIP switches on the side of the module. The DIP switches allow the RJ45 port to be congured for auto-negotiation or
manual operation.
Note: The factory default should have ALL DIP switches in the down position. Leave DIP switch settings to factory default. Do not change.
*If switches are not in default position upon unpacking, set them back to default.
