Step 1 Configure the McBasic 10/100 to Force 100 Mbps mode.
Step 2 Connect the media converter to the twisted pair device with a twisted pair
cable.
Step 3 Loop a single strand of fiber from the transmit port to the receive port of
the media converter.
Step 4 Verify that both the twisted pair and fiber links on the converter. Refer to
the LED Operation section.
NOTE
Use caution when conducting a loopback test. It is possible to create a network loop if
connecting the media converter’s twisted pair port to an active network. IMC Networks
recommends connecting the twisted pair cable to a computer when performing this type of
test.
Use the appropriate twisted pair cable, and have the crossover/pass-through switch
set correctly if the media converters do not include AutoCross.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to any product, add-in modules or
stand alone units, containing electronic components. Always observe the following
precautions when installing or handling these kinds of products
1.
Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until ready to install.
2.
Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component.
If the wrist strap is not available, maintain grounded contact with the system unit
throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
3.
Hold the units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold
connectors.
4.
After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, ESD
pad or in a proper ESD bag. Do not slide the modules or stand alone units over
any surface.
WARNING! Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are
extremely susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage. Do not
handle these components directly unless you are a qualified service
technician and use tools and techniques that conform to accepted
industry practices.
