Installation NOTES
Install Slide-In-Module Media Converter
• Remove Media Converter Slide-in-Module protective plate from
selected installation slot by removing two screws that secure plate to
front of E-MCC-1600. Retain one installation screw.
• Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into installation
slot, aligning Media Converter Slide-in-Module with installation
guides.
NOTE: Ensure that the Media Converter Slide-in-Module is firmly
seated against the backplane.
• Secure Slide-in-Module by installing retained installation screw.
Install Coax Copper
STAR TOPOLOGY
• MAXIMUM twisted-pair segment to active hub is 600 meters (2000
feet) on RG-62 cable; minimum does not apply.
BUS TOPOLOGY
• Devices attached to twisted-pair bus must be located AT LEAST six
(6) feet apart.
• MAXIMUM twisted-pair bus length is 300 meters (1000 feet);
minimum is 1.8 meters (6 feet).
• Device(s) attached to EACH END of bus must be terminated. NOTE:
If the media converter is installed at one end of the bus, use the
configuration switch to terminate the media converter.
CONFIGURATION SWITCH
NOTE: Set configuration switch (located on the side of media converter)
according to site installation requirements:
Switch 1 NOT USED
Switch 2 UP = OFF Media converter TRANSFERS signal
DOWN = ON Media converter TERMINATES signal.
Install Fiber
Connect one end of first fiber cable to C/AR-CF-01 media converter TX
connector. Connect other end of that fiber cable to second C/AR-CF-01 media
converter RX connector. Connect one end of second fiber cable to C/AR-CF-01
media converter RX connector. Connect other end of that fiber cable to C/AR-
CF-01 media converter TX connector.
Power Slide-In-Module Media Converter
Locate correct power supply adapter for site installation. Connect media
converter power connector at end of power supply adapter cord to C/AR-CF-01
media converter power receptacle. Connect 2-prong or 3-prong external power
connector on other end of power supply adapter cord to external AC power.
