FCC Warning
WAC-2012 Series Media Converters have been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
standards are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when these devices are operated in a commercial environment. These devices generate,
use, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference to
radio communications unless installed in accordance with this User’s Guide. Operation f
these devices in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference which will make
the user responsible for the appropriate remedial action at his / her own expense.
CE Mark Warning
These are Class A products. In a domestic environment these products may cause radio
interference in which case the user will need to consider adequate preventative
methods.
1. Checklist
The WAC-2012 package should contain the following items:
The Power Supply (Optional)
Please notify your sales representative immediately if any item is
missing or damaged.
2. Overview
WAC-2012 Media Converters Series are designed to meet the
massive needs for Fast Ethernet network deployments and aim at
industrial applications that demand a wide range of operating
temperature. WAC-2012 Media Converters are fully compliant
with IEEE802.3 and 802.3u standards. Via the single-mode fiber
cable, they are able to extend a copper-based network to a
maximum distance up to 100KM.
Besides, both redundant AC and DC power supplies are offered
on WAC-2012 Media Converters Series for users to create a
reliable and stable network in the event of power failure. They can
also be mounted on the wall or onto 35mm DIN rail using DIN rail
clip on the media converter. The installation and operation
procedures of WAC-2012 are simple and straightforward.
Operation status can be locally monitored through a set of
Diagnostic LED indicators located on the front panel.
Major Features:
Support Auto-Negotiation or Manual mode for TP port’s speed
& duplex configuration.
Pass through/Store and Forward Switching Mechanism
Support MDI/MDIX Auto-Crossover
Support Link Alarm function
Support the fault alarm for the port failure
Support 9K bytes Jumbo Frame
Support redundant AC and DC power supply
Support a wide range of operating temperature (-20
o
C ~60
o
C)
Support both DIN-rail and wall-mounting installation methods
Support 12K bytes packet buffer
3. Network Installation
Please follow the steps described below to complete the network
installation.
Attach a fiber cable from WAC-2012 to the fiber network.
Attach a UTP cable from the 10/100Base-TX network to
the RJ-45 port on WAC-2012.
Connect the power supply to WAC-2012 and the Power
LED will light up. The TP and F/O Link/ACT LEDs will light
up as soon as if all the cable connections are satisfactory.
4. DIP SWITCH Setting
The default setting for PIN 1 through PIN 9 is OFF.
NOTE:
1. Before adjusting the configuration of the DIP Switch, the
power should be unplugged.
2. Disable TP Auto-Negotiation function before configuring TP
speed/duplex manually.
5. Terminal Block
TB1 and TB2 Power Supply: Two sets of DC 12~48V power
inputs, TB1 and TB2, on the terminal block are offered for power
redundancy purpose. You can use both pairs of power supply
(TB1 and TB2) or use either one pair of power supply on the
terminal block and AC-DC external DC 12V power supply to
create the redundant setup. The redundant power supply will
take over seamlessly when one power source is down to protect
your device or network from the loss of power. When you use
only one power supply (no redundant power is available), the
LED of PWR/Port Status will flash in orange color to alert the
user.
Port Fault Alarm: One pair of port fault connection on the
terminal block is used to connect alarm devices such as
speakers or LEDs to alert users when TP or F/O port link is
disconnected. To make this function work, you must first set PIN
8 and PIN 9 on the DIP Switch to “ON” position (Enable).
6. Link Alarm
Link Alarm allows users to easily identify and diagnose the linking
status. If Link Alarm is enabled (PIN 4 is set to ON), the UTP and
fiber port can link up only when both linking conditions are good. In
addition, if the fiber or UTP port link is down during the operation,
the other port link will also be turned into the “Down” status to alert
Use flat-head
screwdriver to
loosen and tighten
the screw.
Insert positive or
negative wire as
indicated.
