Wear a grounding device for electrostatic discharge
Verify that the AC-DC adapter conforms to your country AC power requirement
and then insert the power plug
• TP Cable
Use Cat. 5 TP cable to connect server/host or workstation to TP port of the

TP port supports MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover, use:
straight-through cable (Cable pin-outs for RJ-45 jack 1, 2, 3, 6 to 1, 2, 3, 6)
to cascade or up-link the converter to an upper layer L2/L3 switch or
server/host/workstation
TP Cable Limitations: Cat. 5 and up to 100m
• Fiber Cable
Use fiber cable to connect FX port of an upper layer converter
Fiber Cable Limitations:
SC/LC Converter Models
Multi-mode Half-duplex 412m
Multi-mode Full-duplex 2Km
Single-mode Half-duplex 412m
Single-mode Full-duplex 10/30/50Km
Table 2-1
Note: The other side of the fiber cable plugged into the converter’s RX connector at

3-3-1. IP Configuration
IP configuration is one of the most important configurations in WEB SMART
MEDIA CONVERTER. Without the proper setting, network manager will not be able
to view the device. WEB SMART MEDIA CONVERTER supports both manual IP
address setting and automatic IP address setting via DHCP server. When IP
address is changed, you must reboot the converter to have the setting taken effect
and use the new IP to browse for web management.

Parameter description:
DHCP Client:
WEB SMART MEDIA CONVERTER supports DHCP client used to get an
IP address automatically if you set this function “Enable”. WEB SMART
MEDIA CONVERTER will find the DHCP server existed in the network to
get an IP address. If this function is set “Disable”, you have to input IP
address manually.
Default: Disable
IP address:
Users can configure the IP settings and fill in new values if users set the
DHCP function “Disable”. Then, click <Apply> button to update it.
Default: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask:
Set the subnet mask value which is the same as that of network it
attaches. For more information, please also see the section “IP Address
Assignment” in this manual.
Default: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway:
Set an IP address for a gateway to handle those packets that do not
meet the rules predefined in a device. If a packet does not meet the
criteria for other routers, then it must be sent to a default router. This
means any packet with undefined TCP/IP information will be sent to this
device unconditionally.
Default: 192.168.1.254

Function description:
This converter provides the following configurable parameters.
Parameter description:
Jumbo Frame(9K):
If enable this function, the media converter could pass the max. 9KB
packets.
Link Transparent:
Only if link transparent is enabled, the Remote Fault Detect and Link
Loss Carry Forward will take effect.

according to remote device’s UTP port link status. This function need
enable link transparent first.
Link Loss Carry Forward:
If enable this function, when the UTP port link down, the fiber port will be
forced link down. And the fiber will be resume when UTP port link up.
This function need enable link transparent first.
Notice
：
If local MC (Media Converter) enables TS1000 and is configured as
Center Mode, when configuring Jumbo Frame and Link Transparent
functions for local MC, the remote MC will be configured at the
same time even if it is a dump MC. And the configuration of remote
side is the same as local side.
Forward CRC Error Frame:
If enable this function, the CRC error packet will be pass, otherwise, the
CRC error packets will be dropped.
Forward Pause Frame:
If this function was enabled, this MC will forward pause frame and regard
it as a normal packet.
Management Packet High Priority:
If enable this function, this MC will enable QOS. We enable four queues,
and set queue 3 as strict priority. All management packets, such as
802.3ah OAM packets will be in queue 3 to guarantee bandwidth.
Broadcast Storm Filter, Multicast Storm Filter, Unknown DA Unicast Storm
Filter:
If enable this function, when too many broadcast/multicast/unknown DA
unicast packets arrive in a period time, the packets will be dropped.
