One-Channel Media Converter
Ports
The Signamax 065-1800 series Hardened Media Converter provides one TX
port and one FX port. For the FX port, it provides options of:
Multimode fiber using SC, ST, VF-45, MT-RJ or LC connector, or
Singlemode fiber using SC or ST connector, or
WDM fiber using single SC connector
For the TX port, it uses an RJ-45 connector, auto-MDIX, and auto-
negotiates 10/100 Mbps speed and full-duplex or half-duplex modes.
Port Settings
Port settings are made easily by means of a DIP (Dual Inline Package)
switch at the front panel of the harden media converter.
Default DIP switch settings:
DIP switch
There are six pins on the DIP switch for port settings. Refer to the table below for more
details.

6 Disable link down alarm Enable link down alarm
First, disconnect the converter from the power. Then toggle Pin 2 of the DIP switch to
position 1 to enable the forced mode for TX port.
<NOTE> Pin 2 must be toggled to position 1 prior to manually setting speed and
duplex mode.
Toggle Pin 3 to position 0 to force the TX port to the speed of 100 Mbps, or toggle Pin
3 to position 1 for 10 Mbps speed.
Toggle Pin 4 to position 0 to force the TX port to full duplex mode, or toggle Pin 4 to
position 1 for half duplex mode.
Toggle Pin 5 to position 0 to force the FX port to full duplex mode, or toggle Pin 5 to
position 1 for half duplex mode.
Toggle Pin 1 to position 0 to disable Link Fault Signaling (LFS).

Link Fault Signaling (LFS)
Connect the FX ports of two Media Converters, A and B, through the fiber
optic cable.
Link Fault of the FX port:
A Link Fault condition will be sensed on the TX port whenever the media
converter detects a Link Fault condition on the FX port. Thus, the 100,
LNK/ACT, and FDX/COL LEDs of the media converter would be off.
Link Fault of the TX port of Media Converter A:
Media Converter A:A Link Fault condition will be sensed on the FX port
whenever the media converter detects a Link Fault condition on the TX
port. Thus, the 100, LNK/ACT, and FDX/COL LEDs of the TX port of the
Media Converter A would be off.
Media Converter B:A Link Fault condition indication will be sent to the FX
port of the Media Converter B. Then, a Link Fault condition will be sensed
on the TX port of the Media Converter B whenever the Media Converter B
detects a Link Fault condition on the FX port. Thus, the 100, LNK/ACT,
and FDX/COL LEDs of the Media Converter B would be off.

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 -40° to 165° Fahrenheit (-40° to +74°
Celsius).
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 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the product.
DIN Rail Mounting
Fix the DIN rail attachment plate to the back panel of the media converter.
Installation: Place the media converter on the DIN rail from above using the
slot. Push the front of the media converter toward the mounting surface
until it audibly snaps into place.
Removal: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the media converter from
the DIN rail.

Connecting to Power
Redundant 1.5 A 24 V DC power inputs or 3 A 12 V DC Jack:
3 A 12 V DC Jack
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle on
the topside of the media converter.
Step 2: Connect the power cord to the AC to DC power adapter and attach
the plug into a standard AC outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
Redundant 1.5 A 24 V DC Power Inputs
There are two pairs of 1.5 A 24 V DC power source connectors that can be
used to power this device. You only need to have one power source
connected to operate the media converter.
Step 1: Connect the DC power cord to the pluggable terminal block on the
media converter, and then plug it into a standard DC outlet.
Step 2: In order to shut down the media converter, disconnect the power cord.

Alarms for Power and Port Failure
Step 1: There are two pins on the terminal block are used for power failure
detection. It provides the normally closed output when the power
source is active. Use this as a dry contact application to send a
signal for power failure detection.
Terminal Assignment
PWR 1 Power Input 1 (+10 ~ +48 V DC)
GND Power Ground
PWR 2 Power Input 2 (+10 ~ +48 V DC)
GND Power Ground
Earth Ground
1. The relay opens if PWR 1 or PWR 2 fails
2. The relay opens if a Link Fault is detected
(if Link Fault Signaling has been Enabled)
Special note:
The relay output is normal open position when there is no power to the
media converter. Please do not connect any power source to this
terminal to prevent the shortage to your power supply.
