Install Cable
COPPER
NOTE: Shielded cables required on DB-9 for EMC compliance.
•Locate or build TIA/EIA-574 compliant cables with male DB-9
connectors and with straight-through cable configuration for connection
to DTE and/or with null-modem cable configuration for connection to
DCE. (See below.)
•Connect male DB-9 connector at one end of cable to media converter
female DB-9 connector.
•Connect male DB-9 connector at other end of cable to DTE female DB-9
connector (using straight-through cable configuration) or to DCE female
DB-9 connector ( using null-modem cable configuration).
FIBER
•Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at one end of cable to TX
and RX female connectors, respectively, on media converter.
Connect to Power
•Install power adapter cord at back of media converter.
•Connect power adapter plug to AC power.
•Verify that media converter is powered by observing illuminated
LED(s).

OPERATION
After installation, the media converter should function without operator
intervention.
NOTE: A temporary interruption of data flow during some types of transients
may require the software to recover. No operator intervention is required at
media converter.
Status LEDs:
Use the status LEDs to monitor media converter operation in the network.
P(o)w(e)r Steady green LED
indicates connection to
external power
L(o)ck Steady green LED
indicates that fiber link
is in functional “lock”
condition.
FAULT ISOLATION and CORRECTION
If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the failure by determining the
answers to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:
1. Is the P(o)w(e)r LED on the media converter illuminated?
NO
•Ensure that media converter is seated firmly in E-MCC-1600 chassis?
•Contact Technical Support at [phone]/ (800) LAN-WANS.
YES
•Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the L(o)ck LED illuminated?
NO
•Check fiber cables for proper connection.
•Contact Technical Support at [phone]/ (800) LAN-WANS.
YES
•Proceed to step 3.
3. Does data fail to move across link, even though both LEDs are
illuminated?
YES
•Check RS-232 cables for proper connection.
•Contact Technical Support at [phone]/ (800) LAN-WANS.
