6. Installing the Converter
Please follow these steps to install the converter:
• Turn off the power of the device/station in a network to
which the FT-80X will be attached
• Ensure that there is no activity in the network
• Attach ber cable from the FT-80X to the ber network
TX, RX must be paired at both ends
• Attach a Cat. 5 UTP cable from the 10/100Base-TX
network to the RJ-45 port on the FT-80X
• Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the FT-80X and
verify that the Power LED lights up
• Turn on the power of the device/station, the TX Link and
FX Link LEDs should light when all cables are attached

LED Color Description
FX LNK
/ ACT
Green
Blinks: when any FX packets
transmitting and receiving
Lit: when Fiber connection is good
TX LNK
/ ACT
Green
Blinks: when any TP packets
transmitting and receiving
Lit: when TP connection is good
FX FDX/
COL
Green
Lit: when Full-duplex mode is enabled
in FX port
Blinks: indicate that the connection is
experiencing collisions
TX FDX/
COL
Green
Lit: when Full-duplex mode is enabled
(detect by Auto-Negotiation) in TP
port
Blinks: indicate that the connection is
experiencing collisions
100 Green
Lit: when the TP port runs in 100Mbps.
Remains off while LINK LED lit
represent the TP port runs in
10Mbps
PWR Green Lit: when +5VDC power detected
Note
Fiber-optic Partner should be set to the correct
mode according to this FDX indicator for optimal
network performance.
7. Duplex Mode Setting
The TP port of FT-80X supports duplex mode detection by
auto-negotiation (A-N). The following is the duplex mode
parameters:
Fast Ethernet Device
FT-80X Duplex
Mode support
Ethernet / Fast Ethernet Hub Half-Duplex
Ethernet / Fast Ethernet Switch
(without A-N)
Half-Duplex
Fast Ethernet Devices *
Support Auto-Negotiation
Full-Duplex /
Half-Duplex
Note
Normally, an A-N switch will detect and set to
full-duplex, where a dual-speed hub will detects
half.
There is a DIP-switch as in the left view as section 4. Please
check and follow the duplex mode of the ber device and
have the duplex selection to your FT-80X.

2. A model (TX: 1310nm; RX: 1510nm) and B
model (TX: 1510nm; RX: 1310nm) should
runs in pair.

11. Power Information
The power jack of FT-80X is with 2.5mm in the central post
and required +5VDC power input. It will conform to the
bundled AC-DC adapter and Planet’s Media Chassis. Should
you have the problem to make the power connection,
please contact your local sales representative.
Please keep the AC-DC adapter as spare parts when your
FT-80X is installed to a Media Chassis.
Energy Saving Note of the Device
This power required device does not support Standby mode
operation.
For energy saving, please remove the DC-plug or push the
hardware Power Switch to OFF position to disconnect the
device from the power circuit.
Without remove the DC-plug or switch off the device, the
device will still consume power from the power source. In
the view of Saving the Energy and reduce the unnecessary
power consuming, it is strongly suggested to power off
or remove the DC-plug for the device if this device is not
intended to be active.
