3.2. DIP saklar

The FVT-2202 features DIP switches for advanced configuration. Refer to the markings on the device for specific switch functions, which typically include settings for LFP (Link Fault Pass-through), speed, and duplex mode.

• Saklar 1: LFP (Link Fault Pass-through) Enable/Disable
• Saklar 2: Auto-Negotiation Enable/Disable
• Saklar 3: 100Mbps/10Mbps Speed Selection (when Auto-Negotiation is disabled)
• Saklar 4: Full-Duplex/Half-Duplex Selection (when Auto-Negotiation is disabled)

Awas:

Ensure the device is powered off before changing DIP switch settings to prevent potential damage or incorrect configuration.

4. Setup jeung Instalasi

Follow these steps to properly install and connect your LevelOne FVT-2202 Media Converter:

1. Prepare the Environment: Ensure the installation location is clean, dry, and has adequate ventilation. Avoid areas with extreme temperatures or humidity.
2. Alat Pareum: Before making any connections, ensure that all network devices (switches, routers, computers) that will connect to the media converter are powered off.
3. Configure DIP Switches (if necessary): If specific network settings are required (e.g., fixed speed/duplex, LFP), adjust the DIP switches on the rear of the converter according to your network requirements. Refer to Section 3.2 for details.
4. Sambungkeun Kabel Serat Optik: Connect one end of the fiber optic cable (SC connector) to the FX port on the FVT-2202. Connect the other end to your fiber optic network device (e.g., fiber switch, another media converter). Ensure the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) fibers are correctly matched.
5. Sambungkeun kabel Ethernet: Connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable from your copper-based network device (e.g., Ethernet switch, computer) to the TX port on the FVT-2202.
6. Sambungkeun Adaptor Daya: Plug the provided 5VDC power adapter into the power input jack on the FVT-2202. Then, plug the power adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
7. Power On Alat: Power on the FVT-2202. The PWR LED should illuminate green. Then, power on your connected network devices.
8. Pariksa sambungan: Check the Link/Act LEDs for both the FX (fiber) and TX (Ethernet) ports. A solid green light indicates a successful link. Blinking lights indicate data activity.

penting:

Always handle fiber optic cables with care. Avoid bending them sharply or exposing the connectors to dust and dirt, which can degrade performance.

5. Operasi

Once the LevelOne FVT-2202 is properly installed and powered on, it operates automatically as a transparent media converter. It translates Ethernet signals between copper and fiber optic mediums without requiring any software configuration.

5.1. Fungsi Dasar

• The converter transparently passes Ethernet frames between the RJ45 (copper) and SC (fiber) interfaces.
• It supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet speeds.
• Auto-negotiation is typically enabled by default on the RJ45 port to automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of the connected device.
• The fiber optic port operates at 100Mbps full-duplex.

5.2. Status pangimeutan

The LED indicators provide a quick visual status of the converter's operation:

• LED PWR: Confirms the device is powered.
• FX Link/Act LED: Indicates the status of the fiber optic link and data activity.
• TX Link/Act LED: Indicates the status of the Ethernet link and data activity.

Refer to Section 3.1 for a detailed explanation of LED behaviors.

6. Pangropéa

The LevelOne FVT-2202 Media Converter is designed for minimal maintenance. However, following these guidelines can help ensure its longevity and reliable performance:

• beberesih: Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning the exterior. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Fiber Optic Connectors: Ensure fiber optic connectors are clean. Dust or dirt on the fiber end-faces can significantly degrade signal quality. Use appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools if necessary.
• Ventilasi: Pastikeun liang ventilasi dina alat henteu katutup pikeun nyegah panas teuing.
• Sasayogian tanaga: Use only the power adapter provided with the device. Using an incorrect power adapter can damage the converter.
• Kaayaan Lingkungan: Operate the device within its specified environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) to prevent malfunction.
