1.5.2 Important Safety Information
Read the following important safety information before using the unit.
Setting up the AC power cord:

The power cord must have regulatory agency approval for the specific country in which it is used (i.e., UL, CSA, VDE, and so on).
The power cord must be a three-conductor type (two current carrying conductors; one ground conductor) terminated on one end by an IEC 60320 appliance coupler (for connection to the PoE Media converter), and on the other end by a plug containing a ground (earth) contact.
The power cord must be rated for a minimum of 250Vac RMS operation, with a minimum rated current capacity of 5 amps (or a minimum wire gauge of 18 AWG (0.75mm).
Note: The Data-In PoE injector and PoE ports are shielded RJ45 data sockets. They cannot be used as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) telephone sockets. Only RJ45 data connectors may be connected to these sockets. 2
The AC wall socket-outlet must be near the PoE Media converter and easily accessible. You can remove AC power from the PoE Media converter by disconnecting the AC power cord from either the wall socket-outlet or the PoE media converter appliance coupler.
The PoE Media converter Data-In and Data and Power Out interfaces are qualified as SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) circuits according to IEC 60950-1. These interfaces can only be connected to SELV interfaces on other equipment.

1.5.3 Warnings

Read the installation instructions before connecting the PoE Media converter to its power source.
Follow basic electricity safety measures whenever connecting the PoE Media converter to its power source.
A voltage mismatch can cause equipment damage and may pose a fire hazard. If the voltage indicated on the label is different from the power outlet voltage, do not connect the PoE Media converter to this power outlet.

PoE Media Converter Hardware Installation

The following sections describe the procedure to install the PD-9601GCS/AC PoE Media converter unit.
Figure 2-1. Installing the PD-9601GCS/AC

2.1 Media Converter Installation
Install the media converter according to following procedures.

Ensure that AC power is applied to the PoE Media Convertor, using an AC cable with an appropriate ground connection.
Connect the PoE Media Convertor to an AC outlet (100VAC–240VAC), using a standard power cord.

2.2 Installation of Optical to PoE Application
Install the optical fiber cable to the PoE Media converter according to following procedures.

Insert the SFP transceiver into the SFP cage (uplink port). The PD-9601GCS/AC supports multi and single mode transceiver.
Connect the optical fiber cable to the transceiver.
Connect the other end of the cable to the network transceiver.
Connect the PoE port to the Powered Device (PD) using a Cat5e (or higher) cable.

2.3 Installation of Copper to PoE Application

Connect the DATA IN port to the network using a Cat5e (or higher) cable.
Connect the PoE port to the PD using a Cat5e (or higher) cable.

2.4 Three Ports Converter Installation
Note: Read installation instructions before installing the PD-9601GCS/AC PoE Media converter.
The product supports simulated use of all 3 ports such as two data inputs and one PoE output which acts as a switch.

Insert the SFP transceiver into the SFP cage (uplink port). The PD-9601GCS/AC support both multi and single mode transceiver.
Connect the optical fiber cable to the transceiver.
Connect the other end of the cable to the network transceiver.
Connect the Copper DATA IN port to a non-PoE end-device using a Cat5e (or higher) cable.
Connect the PoE port to the PD using a Cat5e (or higher) cable.

Troubleshooting

The following sections describe the troubleshooting procedures to address any problems with the unit.
3.1 Preliminary Steps
Before mounting the PD-9601GCS/AC PoE Media converter to a fixed location:

Read installation instructions before connecting the PD-9601GCS/AC to its power source.
There is no ON/OFF switch on the Media converter, simply plug the PD-9601GCS/AC into an AC power source.
Verify that a PoE Ready Ethernet-compatible device is connected.
Do not cover PD-9601GCS/AC or block airflow to the unit with any foreign objects. Keep PD-9601GCS/AC away from excessive heat and humidity, and free from vibration and dust.
Ensure that cable length from Ethernet network source to the terminal does not exceed 100 meters (330 feet).
This Media converter is not a repeater and does not amplify Ethernet data signal.
Use a splitter, if necessary, and ensure that the splitter is connected near the terminal and not on the PD-9601GCS/AC.

3.2 Troubleshooting Steps
The following table lists problem and resolution sequences to assist in troubleshooting minor operating problems. If the following steps do not solve your problem, contact the dealer for further assistance.
Table 3-1. Troubleshooting Steps

Problem	Corrective Steps
Media converter does not power-up.	1.Verify that an approved power cord is used. 2.Ensure that the power cord is properly connected. 3.Verify that the voltage at the power inlet is between 100 V_AC to 240 V_AC. 4.Remove and re-apply power to the device and check indicators during power- up sequence.
A port indicator is not lit and corresponding PD does not operate.	1.The media converter did not detect a PD and therefore the port is not enabled. 2.Verify that the PD is designed for PoE operation according to IEEE 802.3 af/at/bt standard. 3.Verify that you are using a standard straight‑wired four-pair cable (Category 5e) 4.Ensure that the input Ethernet cable is connected to the DATA IN port. 5.Verify that the PD is connected to the Data and Power port (PoE). 6.Try reconnecting the same PD again with another media converter. If it works, there is likely a bad port or RJ45 connection. 7.Verify that there is no short over any of the twisted pair cables or over the RJ45 connectors. 8.If an external power splitter is in use, replace it with a viable splitter.
End device operates but there is no data link.	1.Verify that the port indicator on the front panel is continuously lit. 2.Verify that for this link you are using a standard UTP/FTP Category 5e straight (non-crossover) cabling, with all four pairs, and that the link is 100 meters long 3.Verify that the Ethernet cable length is less than 100 meters PoE Media converter to the load/remote terminal. 4.Try reconnecting the same PD into a different media converter. If it works, there is probably a faulty port or RJ45 connection. 5.If an external power splitter is in use, replace it with a viable splitter.
SFP transceiver no data connection.	1.Verify that the transceivers are inserted in the transceivers cage. 2.Verify that the similar type of transceivers are applied on both fiber optic cable ends (Multi or Single mode). 3.Verify that the fiber optic cable is compatible with the transceivers type. 4.Verify that the fiber optic cable doesn’t exceed the transceivers type maximum length. 5.Try reconnecting the fiber optic cable to the transceivers.
