Installation
Prior to installation:
• Check for shipping damage
• Check the contents to ensure correct model and fiber type
• Have a clean, dry, DIN rail or wall mount installation environment ready
Required for installation:
• 12~36VDC local power source
Note: To maintain high voltage isolation, units at each end must be powered from separate isolated
power sources.
Connect fiber optic cable
Multimode and single-mode Ethernet cards are equipped with dual ST, SC or FC female optical
connectors, or a single bi-directional connector, depending on the model.
Connect fibers to the TX (Transmit) and RX (Receive) optical connectors. For dual fiber models, the TX
connector must go to the RX connector on the unit at the other end. The other end of the fiber may be
connected to another SlimLine 10/100 Ethernet converter or any compatible 100Base-FX Fiber Optic
Ethernet device. Either fiber port (F1 or F2) may be connected to another switch since all ports are
shared.
For bi-directional, single fiber models, there is only one connector used for transmitting and receiving.
Bi-directional units must be used in pairs.
Note: Fiber cable should always be routed loosely avoiding tight bends.
Connect Ethernet cable
The 10/100/Base-T copper connection is made via the RJ45 port. The TP port is auto-negotiating and
requires no additional settings.
Connect Power
Attach a FG ground wire to the ground screw on the housing. Alternately, attach a ground wire to the FG
terminal on the power connector. Connect a local 12~36VDC power supply to the power input terminals.
Note: The power terminals are polarity sensitive. Attach the Positive DC wire to the V+ terminal.
