4. Installation
This section describes the installation of the Multilink MC-E10 & Multilink MC-E100
Converters, including location, mountings, power supply options and media connection.
4.1 Locating the Converter Unit
All the Multilink MC-E10 & Multilink MC-E100 Converters operate in transparent half-and
full-duplex mode. The store and forward switch easily takes care of the network traffic and
can be used as a useful economical tool to expand the existing network.
The compact and lightweight design of the Multilink MC-E10 & Multilink MC-E100 Series
allows them to be easily installed in almost any location. A Velcro strip may be used for
mounting the unit on a vertical surface such as a wall or cabinet, or for securing the unit
on a table-top or shelf. Alternatively, metal mounting clips and screws are included for a
rugged and secure mounting in any orientation.
Installation of the Multilink MC-E10 & Multilink MC-E100 Converters is a simple procedure.
The installation location is dependent upon the physical layout of the Ethernet network
and associated cabling. Make sure the unit is installed in a location that is easily accessible
to an AC power outlet or power strip, and where convection cooling is not inhibited. The
green Power (PWR) LED must turn ON, when power is applied through the internal DC input
12V, 24V or –48V DC or external AC through 9V DC jack.
