Copper Cable
Category 5 twisted-pair copper wire is required. Either shielded twisted-
pair (STP) or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) can be used. DO NOT USE
FLAT OR SILVER SATIN WIRE.

INSTALLATION
Set Switches
Use small flatblade screwdriver or similar device to set recessed switches
according to site installation.
• Set EACH MDI/MDI-X switch to MDI for cable connection between switch
and media converter OR to MDI-X for cable connection between media
converter and terminal, transceiver or network interface card (NIC).
• Referring to drawing on page 2, set four-position switch according to
network configuration.
NOTE: If connecting two (2) media converters in series, set the PST (#4)
switch on one media converter to the UP position AND set the PST (#4)
switch on the other media converter to the DOWN position.
Install Slide-In-Module in E-MCC-1600 Chassis
• Remove Media Converter Slide-in-Module protective plate from
selected installation slot by removing two (2) screw that secures plate to
front of E-MCC-1600.
• Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into installation slot,
aligning Media Converter Slide-in-Module with installation guides.
NOTE: Ensure that the Media Converter Slide-in-Module is firmly seated
against backplane.
• Secure Slide-in-Module by installing panel fastener screw attached to
Slide-in-Module.
Install Cable
COPPER
NOTE: KEEP TWISTED PAIR RUNS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE.
• Locate or build 802.3 compliant cables with straight through
configuration and male RJ-45 plug connectors.
• Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at one end of cable to media
converter RJ-45 jack connector.
• Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of cable to DTE
terminal RJ-45 jack connector (with MDI switch set to MDI-X) or to
switch RJ-45 jack connector (with MDI switch set to MDI).
FIBER
• Locate or build 802.3 compliant fiber cable with male two-stranded TX to
RX connectors appropriate to the media converter installed at both ends.
• Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at one end of cable to TX
and RX female connectors, respectively, on media converter.
• Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at other end of cable to RX
and TX connectors of 802.3 compliant fiber device.

The two active pairs in a 100BASE-TX
network are pins 1 & 2 and pins 3 & 6. Use
only dedicated wire pairs (such as
blue/white & white/blue, orange/white &
white/orange) for the active pins.
