performance. Consider these guideline s when deciding where to place
the device.
• Place the co nverter in a fairly cool and dry locati on. (See Specications
for the acceptable temperature and humidity oper ating ranges.)
• Place the converter in a lo cation free from strong electromagnetic
eld generators (such as motors), vibration, dust and direct exposure
to sunlight.
• Place the converter in a lo cation with easy access to AC power.
• Place the converter on a c lean, at surface that leaves at least 10 cm
(4 in.) of space at the front and rear of the device for ventilatio n.
• Afx the provi ded rubber pads to the bottom of the converter to prote ct
the case from scratches and prevent slipping.
NOTE: For mounting on a ver tical surface, use th e underside of the unit
as a template to measure and mark out the position of the holes o n the
installation surface, then use two screws to mou nt the converter in place.
WARNING: Exercise caut ion if using power tools to install the device.
Also, because invisible laser radiation may be emitted fro m the aperture
of the port when no cable is connected, avoid exposur e to laser radiation
and do not stare into open apertures.
Powering On the Converter
The converter uses an AC power supply: 100 – 240 V AC, 50 – 60 Hz. The
power supply automatically self-adjusts to the local p ower source and may
be powered on without having any or all LAN segment cable s connected.
1. Plug the power cable directly into the receptacle on the rear panel.
2. Plug the power adapter into an available socket. NOTE: For international
use, you may need to change to an AC power adapter cord that has been
approved for the receptacle type and elect rical current in your country.
3. Conrm that the PWR LED on the rear panel is lit, indic ating power to the
device. If it’s not, check that the power cable is cor rectly plugged in.
Sample Application DiagramsTo effectively expand a Fast or Gigabit Ethernet network, position a pair of
converters back to back as illustrated in the examples that follow.
