ET-509A
TP-BNC Converter
ET-508 /ET-508S
TP-Fiber (Multi-mode / Single-mode)
IEEE802.3 Ethernet Converter
1. Overview
IEEE802.3 10Mbps Ethernet supports various type media for network connection such as
10Base-2, 10Base-T and 10Base-FL. The media converter is used to convert one type
media signal to other type equivalent that allows multiple type segments connect easily and
inexpensively. This converter can be used as a standalone unit or as a slide-in module to the
19" Media Chassis (up to 10 units) for use at a central wiring closet.

5. Installing the Converter
For as a standalone unit:
⇒Verify the Ac to DC adapter conforms to your country
AC power requirement and insert the power plug
⇒Connect the media cable for network connection
For as a slide-in unit:
⇒The slide-in Media Converter and Converter Rack should be supplied only from
the same source, both Media Converter and Rack are built to match each other at
dimensions, DC jack, DC receptacle and power safety
⇒Turn off the 19" converter rack power
⇒Locate +5VDC power jack on converter back, carefully slide in and plug to 19"
rack +5VDC power receptacle
⇒Ensure that there is no activity in the network
⇒Connect the media cable for network connection
⇒Turn on the converter rack power, the Power LED will light up
Fiber Port: Attach the fiber cable. The Tx, Rx fiber cable must
be paired at both ends
TP Port: Attach UTP Cat. 3 or 5 cable to TP port
MPR : To a Hub or Repeater
DTE : To a workstation or NIC
Slide switch "DTE" / "MPR" is on the side panel.
Default: MPR
BNC Port: Attach T-Connector to BNC port and
connect the RG-58 coaxial network.
Ensure the coaxial cable/segment is
terminated at both ends properly
Note:
•Either DTE or MPR can be used at a time, do not attach both ports in
network connection.
•10Base-T port for cabling connections:
DTE: To a UTP workstation
MPR : Up-link to a Hub or Repeater
•ET-509A is an Ethernet Repeater, a maximum of four repeaters may used
between any two stations.

Converter Model 10/100 NWay Inter-operating
ET-508S* Single mode
TP-Fiber Converter
(Fdx/Hdx)
Non-Nway, it supports 10Mbps
only. Force the NWay partner
to 10Mbps speed at Fdx or Hdx
manully.
ET-508 Multi mode
TP-Fiber Converter (Hdx) 10/100Mbps is auto-sensing and comes to 10Mbps Hdx
