Figur 1: Transition Networks M/GE-PSW-SX-01 Media Converter

This image displays the Transition Networks M/GE-PSW-SX-01 media converter. It is a compact black device with a ribbed casing. The front panel features an RJ45 Ethernet port and an SC fiber optic port. Several LED indicators are visible, including PWR (Power), FX-Link/Act (Fiber Link/Activity), and TX-Link/Act (Ethernet Link/Activity), along with labels for TX (Transmit) and RX (Receive) for the fiber connection.

LED-indikatorer:

• PWR: Indicates power status. Lit when the device is powered on.
• FX - Link/Act: Indicates the status of the fiber optic (FX) port. Lit when a valid fiber link is established; blinks when data is being transmitted or received.
• TX - Link/Act: Indicates the status of the copper Ethernet (TX) port. Lit when a valid Ethernet link is established; blinks when data is being transmitted or received.
• 10/100/1000 BaseT: (Often integrated with TX-Link/Act or a separate LED) Indicates the speed of the copper Ethernet connection (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps).
• 1000 BaseX: (Often integrated with FX-Link/Act) Indicates the speed of the fiber optic connection (1000 Mbps).

5. Oppsett og installasjon

1. Slå av enheter: Before making any connections, ensure that all devices (network switches, routers, computers) are powered off.
2. Koble til fiberoptisk kabel: Insert the SC fiber optic cable into the "FX" port of the media converter. Connect the other end of the fiber optic cable to your fiber network device (e.g., fiber switch, another media converter). Ensure the TX (Transmit) and RX (Receive) fibers are correctly matched.
3. Koble til Ethernet-kabelen: Insert a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable into the "TX" port of the media converter. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your copper-based network device (e.g., computer, switch, router).
4. Koble til strømadapter: Plug the provided external power adapter into the DC power input port on the media converter. Then, plug the power adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
5. Slå på enheter: Power on the media converter. The PWR LED should illuminate. Then, power on your connected network devices.
6. Bekreft tilkoblinger: Check the Link/Act LEDs for both the FX and TX ports. They should illuminate steadily when a valid link is established and blink to indicate data activity.

Viktig: Always handle fiber optic cables with care. Avoid bending them sharply or touching the optical connectors.

6. Bruksanvisning

Once properly installed, the M/GE-PSW-SX-01 operates automatically. It functions as a transparent converter between the copper Ethernet and fiber optic segments of your network.

Overvåkingsstatus:

Observe the LED indicators on the device to monitor its operational status:

• En solid PWR LED indicates the unit is receiving power.
• En solid FX - Link/Act LED indicates a stable fiber optic link. Blinking indicates data transmission.
• En solid TX - Link/Act LED indicates a stable copper Ethernet link. Blinking indicates data transmission.
• If the Link/Act LEDs are off, it suggests a problem with the cable connection or the connected device.

7. Vedlikehold

The Transition Networks M/GE-PSW-SX-01 is designed for reliable, maintenance-free operation. However, following these guidelines can help ensure its longevity:

• Miljø: Operate the device within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and high humidity.
• Rengjøring: Keep the device clean and free of dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Kabeladministrasjon: Ensure cables are not excessively bent or strained, especially fiber optic cables, as this can degrade performance or cause damage.
• Strømforsyning: Bruk kun strømadapteren som følger med enheten.
