Instruction manual

Install the media converter

1. Turn o any networking equipment that will be connected to the media converter.

2. Insert a 10 Gigabit MSA-compliant SFP+ module into media converter’s SFP+ slot.

The SFP+ transceiver must be compatible with your ber network infrastructure.

Note: The media converter can only be used with 10 Gigabit SFP+ modules and will

not support 10/100/1000Mbps modules.

3. Connect a duplex ber-optic cable from the media converter’s SFP+ module to your

ber network device. The TX and RX connectors must be paired at both ends of the

connection (example TX to RX, and RX to TX).

4. Connect an RJ45 Cat6a Ethernet cable from the media converter’s RJ45 port to your

10GbE network device.

5. Select the appropriate power cord for your region and connect it to the power

adapter.

6. Connect the power adapter to an AC electrical outlet and then to the media

converter’s DC power input port. The PWR LED (power) lights up and remains solid

to indicate the media converter is powered.

7. Turn on the networking equipment you turned o in step. The FX Link (ber link)

LED lights up and remains solid when a ber link has been established, and the RJ45

Link (copper link) LED lights up and remains solid when a copper Ethernet link has

been established.

Note: Check the link budget of your SFP+ modules, as well as the module’s intended

wiring distance. SFP+ modules are designed to transmit signals over long distances. If

the physical wiring distance is too short, the transmitting optical signal (laser) may be

too strong and damage the receiving SFP+ module. An in-line optical attenuator may

be required to protect them from damage.

Instruction manual

Installing a second SFP card module

By default, the media converter’s SFP+ card module is preinstalled into slot 2. The

media converter features a secondary slot (slot 1), which lets you install a second

compatible SFP card module (with LC connectors). Once a compatible SFP card module

is installed, you can integrate the media converter into both 10Gb and 1Gb networks.

The media converter is compatible with the following StarTech.com products:

• ET91000SFP2C - GbE Fiber-Media Converter Card Module (card module only)

• ET91000LC2 - GbE Fiber-Media Converter - LC (card module and chassis)

• ET91000LCOAM - GbE Fiber-Media Converter - LC - OAM Managed (card module

and chassis)

• ET91000SFP2 - GbE Fiber-Media Converter - Open SFP Slot (card module and

chassis)

• ET1000S40LC2 - GbE Fiber-Media Conveter - SM - LC (card module and chassis)

Remove a card module from another media converter

If you’re installing a card module from one of the ET91000 media converters, you may

need to remove the card module from that media converter’s chassis.

• Turn the thumbscrew counterclockwise to loosen the SFP card module, and gently

pull the SFP card module from the ET91000*** chassis.

Note: Consult the manual for the ET91000*** series product that you are removing the

card module from for additional details regarding thumbscrew location.

Install a second SFP card module

Follow the instructions below to install a second SFP card module into the media

converter’s slot 1:

1. Turn the screw counterclockwise, using a Phillips screwdriver, and remove the cover

plate from slot 1.

2. Gently insert the card module from one of the compatible media converters into

slot 1.

Note: When properly installed, the card module in slot 1 should be ush with the

preinstalled card module in slot 2.

3. Turn the thumbscrew on the card module that was inserted into slot 1 clockwise to

tighten and secure it to the chassis.

4. Connect your network devices to the second card module using the instructions

noted in the Install the media converter section.

Instruction manual

Managing the media converter

The media converter features two slots:

• Slot 1: Expansion slot for installing another SFP/SFP+ card module

• Slot 2: Preinstalled SFP+ card module

The media converter can be controlled using the DB9 RS232 serial port located on the

rear of the media converter. See the Using the serial console command port section

for further instructions and details.

Using the management switches

The media converter features two switches on the rear:

• Slot selection (left switch): selects which slot to control (slot 1 or slot 2).

• Management type selection (right switch): must be set to the downward (console)

position.

By default, the media converter’s SFP+ card module is inserted into slot 2.

To control the media converter using the DB9 console port, ensure that the

management type selection (right switch) is set in the downward (console) position.

Switch conguration options:

The SFP+ card module is installed in slot

2. The media converter is managed by the

console. (Default)

A SFP+ card module is installed in slot 1.

The media converter is managed by the

console.

Slot 2

Console

Note: The media converter’s management type selection (right switch) must always be

set to the downward (console) position, to control the media converter using the DB9

console port.

Instruction manual

Using the serial console command port

The media converter features a DB9 (RS232 serial) port, which enables console-based

management commands, for enhanced customization and control of the converter.

Media converter default settings:

• Baud Rate: 38,400

• Data bits: 8

• Parity bits: none

• Stop bits: 1

•Handshaking: none

• Emulation: VT-100

•Default username/password: admin/admin (case sensitive)

1. If connected, disconnect the power adapter from the media converter’s DC power

input port.

2. Connect a straight-through DB9 RS232 cable (not provided) from the media

converter’s DB9 serial port to a serial console (for example, a laptop with a DB9 serial

port).

3. Run a terminal emulation application (for example, PuTTY).

4. Reconnect the power adapter that was disconnected in step #1.

Approximately three seconds after you power up the media converter, it will display a

5. Login with the following details:

• User Name: admin (case sensitive)

• Password: admin (case sensitive)

6. Congure and control the media converter to suit your network requirements, using

the available menu options.
