Installing the IE–ModeConverter
The IE–ModeConverter installs anywhere as a standalone, table-top device or on a DIN rail.
As a standalone device, install it in locations with limited space.
If multiple connections are required, use an IE-PowerTray/18 enclosure, (sold separately). The tray allows for 18 conversions in a 1.5 rack unit of space. The units can also be powered by daisy-chaining DC power (refer to Cascading DC Power).
SFP Port Requirements
The IE–ModeConverter requires two SFP Modules of the same speed, either two fast Ethernet (100Mbps) modules or two Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) modules.
NOTE
Both SFPs must operate at the same speed.
DIN Rail Mounting
The IE–ModeConverter can be mounted with two DIN Rail clips, a hardware option available through IMC Networks. The DIN Rail clips include screws, to allow the installation onto a DIN Rail. Install the screws into DIN Rail clips, which should be mounted perpendicular to the DIN Rail. Snap the converter onto the clips. To remove the converter from the DIN Rail, use a flat-head screwdriver into the slot to gently pry the converter from the rail.
NOTE
The DIN clips are designed for use on a DIN-35 rail.
