Assembly and Setup
Unpacking: Open the carton and unpack the items. Your package should
include an EM1000 or EM2000 media converter and this Quick Install Guide.
If items are missing or damaged, notify your EtherWAN representative.

This Converter is a plug-and-play device. Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to
the receptacle at the back of the converter. Then plug into a standard AC outlet.
The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 113 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 45
degrees Celsius).
The relative humidity should be less than 90 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 of the equipment.
The media converter can also be installed in a compatible EtherWAN chassis.
Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis.
Fit the converter onto the carrier.
When the converter is completely seated onto the carrier, insert the carrier to the
guide rails of the expansion slot.
Carefully slide in the carrier until it is fully and firmly fit the chassis.
Fasten the carrier to the chassis with the screws.
NOTE: Never insert any converter into the chassis directly without using the supplied
carriers. The carriers allow secure and consistent placement of the converters into the
chassis’ backplane and prevent damage.
Function Description
One-channel media conversion between:
1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX/LX, 1000Base-SX/LX and 1000Base-LX
Fiber media allows either:
Multi-mode fiber, Single-mode fiber, or WDM Single-mode fiber
Full wire-speed forwarding rate
Front panel status LEDs
Used as a stand-alone device or with a chassis
Hot-swappable when used with a chassis
Make sure to make a connection to the TX port before make a connection to the fiber port, a
link condition will be sensed on the fiber port whenever the media converter detects a link
condition on the TX port
