1 Unpacking
Open the carton and unpack the items. Your package
should include:
▪ One 12-Bay Media Converter System
▪ Two AC power cords
▪ Rackmount ears with screws
If any items are missing or damaged, notify your
EtherWAN representative.
2 Select a Location
The installation site should be free of extreme
temperatures, humidity, or excessive electromagnetic
interference. Specifically, the site should meet the
following requirements:
▪ The ambient temperature should be between 0
and 45 degrees Celsius (32 to 113 degrees
Fahrenheit).
▪ The relative humidity should be at least 5% and
less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
▪ Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed
the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC
801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
▪ Make sure that the equipment receives adequate
ventilation.
▪ Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of
the equipment or the fan exhaust port on the side
or rear of the equipment.
▪ The power outlet should be within 6 feet (1.8
meters) of the equipment.
3 Connect Power
Power supply is via redundant 12VDC terminal block
power inputs. However, only one power supply is
needed to operate the chassis.
▪ Connect the supplied AC power cords to the
receptacles on the rear panel of the system.
▪ Attach the plugs from each of the dual power
supplies into standard AC outlets with a voltage
range from 100~240VAC.
▪ Turn on the system by flipping the ON/OFF
switches beside the dual power supplies’
receptacles to the ON position.
▪ The power LED of each media converter will light
up after turning on the system.
▪ The link LED of each media converter will light up
after connecting twisted pair copper cabling
between the TX port (or fiber optic
▪ cabling between the FX port) and another working
networked device.
4 Status LEDs
There are 12 sets of LED indicators, which provide
instant feedback on the status of each media
converter channel.
