Caution Circuit devices are sensitive to static electricity, which can damage their delicate electronics. Dry weather conditions or walking across a carpeted floor may cause you to acquire a static electrical charge. To protect your device, always: • Touch the metal chassis of your computer to ground the static electrical charge before you pick up the circuit device. • Pick up the device by holding it on the left and right edges only.

1. Overview IEEE802.3u 100Mbps Fast Ethernet supports two types of media, 10/100BaseTX and 100Base-FX, for network connection. The media converter has commercial and industrial different operating temperature optional specification. This media converter also supports POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) optional networking solution. It is suitable for in-door and out-door industrial Ethernet with fiber optical cable.
3. Checklist Before you start installing the Converter, verify that the package contains the following: — The TP-Fiber Converter — AC-DC Power Adapter or Self Powering Cable(USB) (upon the model user purchases) — This User's Manual Please notify your sales representative immediately if any of the aforementioned items is missing or damaged. 4. Installing the Converter Wear a grounding device for electrostatic discharge 4.

Link Fault Pass Through Note: Link fault pass through (LFP) function only takes effect as S1-Bit4 (see Fig. 13) is enabled.
This media converter supports link fault pass through (LFP) in TX/FX converter application. Link status on one port is propagated to the other port to notice the remote nodes. If TP port is unplugged, this converter stops transmission on fiber port. This causes the remote fiber node link to fail. LED shows the link failure on both TP and fiber ports. If fiber link fails, this converter restarts auto-negotiation on TP port but always stays in the link failure state.
