Overview Introduction The TCF-142-RM series fiber converters are slide-in modules that can be installed in the NRack System’s rackmount chassis, such as the TRC-190 series. The slide-in module is equipped with a multiple interface circuit that can handle RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial interfaces, and multi-mode or single-mode fiber.
Installation The media converter slide-in module can be hot-swapped, which means the chassis doesn’t have to power off or be removed during installation. Align the slide-in module with the chassis installation slot so that the panel fastener screw is at the top of the module. Carefully slide the slide-in module into the slot while aligning the module’s circuit board with the installation guide. Ensure the slide-in module is firmly seated inside the chassis.

ATTENTION Electrostatic Discharge Warning! To protect the product from damage due to electrostatic discharge, we recommend wearing a grounding device when handling your TCF-142-RM-slide-in modules module series.
ATTENTION This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Do not stare into the Laser Beam. Switch Settings ON There are 2 sets of DIP switches on the board. One set for fiber and another for the connector. Following are the settings for the 4 connector DIP switches.
ATTENTION For Fiber Ring Users: Before you plug the slide-in module into the chassis, make sure the DIP switch settings are correct before inserting the slide-in module into the chassis and connecting the serial and fiber cables. If the Rx LEDs of the converter glow continuously, remove the fiber cable and reconnect. NOTE: “Ring Mode” can only be used for half-duplex applications. ON Following are the settings for the 2 fiber DIP switches.
