2.1 Preparing the Site
Consider the following when choosing a site for the Multichannel Media
Converter:
Select a site that provides conditions that conform to the
environmental requirements listed in the appendix.
Select a site that is dust-free and moisture-free.
Do not block the ventilation openings on the Multichannel Media
Converter. The site should allow for proper heat dissipation from,
and adequate ventilation around, the Multichannel Media
Converter.
Be sure that the site will allow easy access to twisted-pair cables,
fiber-optic cables, and power cord(s).
Use dedicated power circuits or power stabilizers to supply
reliable power to the Multichannel Media Converter.
Keep twisted-pair cabling away from sources of electrical noise,
such as radios, electric motors, transmitters, broadband
amplifiers, power lines, and flourescent fixtures.
Also:
ALL NODES connected to the ports on the media converter must
operate at the same speed: 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s, according to
Multichannel Media Converter model selected.
The nodes connected to EACH CHANNEL on the Multichannel
Media Converter must operate in the same duplex mode, either
half-duplex or full-duplex. Do NOT, for instance, connect a node
operating at half-duplex to a twisted-pair port and then connect
another node operating at full-duplex to the fiber-optic port of the
same channel.
