1. Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the ADTRAN NetVanta Media Converter, Model 1702595G12. This device is designed to function as an end-point media converter, facilitating the conversion of Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a network connection to standard 10/100Base-T Ethernet and 802.3af PoE or legacy PoE for a connected device. The media converter is powered via PoE, eliminating the need for an external power supply.
2. Package Contents
Verify that your package contains the following item:
- ADTRAN NetVanta Media Converter (Model 1702595G12)
3. Product Overview
The ADTRAN NetVanta Media Converter is a compact unit designed for efficient network connectivity and power delivery. Its front panel features various indicators and controls for monitoring and managing its operation.
Image Description: The image displays the front panel of the ADTRAN NetVanta Media Converter. It features LED indicators for Link (LNK), Speed (SPD), and Power (PWR) on the 'TO NETWORK' side, and LNK and SPD indicators on the 'TO DEVICE' side. A switch labeled 'POW ON <-> OFF' is also visible, indicating Power over Ethernet control. The ADTRAN logo is prominently displayed in the center.
Front Panel Indicators and Controls:
- TO NETWORK: Connection point for the incoming network cable.
- LNK (Network): Link status indicator for the network connection.
- SPD (Network): Speed status indicator for the network connection.
- PWR: Power status indicator for the unit.
- POW ON <-> OFF: Slide switch to enable or disable Power over Ethernet (PoE) output to the connected device.
- TO DEVICE: Connection point for the end device.
- LNK (Device): Link status indicator for the device connection.
- SPD (Device): Speed status indicator for the device connection.
4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your ADTRAN NetVanta Media Converter:
- Connect to Network: Connect an Ethernet cable from your network's PoE-enabled port to the 'TO NETWORK' port on the media converter. The PWR LED should illuminate, indicating the unit is receiving power.
- Connect to Device: Connect an Ethernet cable from the 'TO DEVICE' port on the media converter to the Ethernet port of your end device (e.g., IP camera, VoIP phone, wireless access point).
- Configure PoE: If your end device requires PoE, ensure the 'POW' switch on the media converter is set to the 'ON' position. If the device has its own power supply or does not require PoE, set the switch to 'OFF'.
- Verify Connection: Observe the LNK and SPD LEDs for both 'TO NETWORK' and 'TO DEVICE' connections. A solid LNK LED indicates a successful physical link, and the SPD LED will indicate the connection speed (e.g., 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps).
5. Operating Instructions
Once properly set up, the ADTRAN NetVanta Media Converter operates automatically. The LEDs provide visual feedback on the status of your network connections and power delivery.
LED Status Indicators:
- PWR (Power):
- Solid Green: Unit is powered on and operating normally.
- Off: Unit is not receiving power.
- LNK (Link):
- Solid Green: A valid network link is established.
- Flashing Green: Data activity is occurring over the link.
- Off: No network link is detected.
- SPD (Speed):
- Solid Green: Connection speed is 100 Mbps.
- Off: Connection speed is 10 Mbps.
6. Maintenance
The ADTRAN NetVanta Media Converter is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Adhere to the following guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Avoid liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Environment: Ensure the unit is operated within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in excessively dusty or moist environments.
- Ventilation: Do not obstruct the ventilation openings of the device to prevent overheating.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your media converter, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Power (PWR LED Off):
- Ensure the Ethernet cable from the network is securely connected to the 'TO NETWORK' port.
- Verify that the network port connected to the media converter is providing PoE.
- Try a different Ethernet cable.
- No Link (LNK LED Off):
- Check both Ethernet cables for secure connections at the media converter and the connected devices.
- Ensure the connected network device and end device are powered on and functioning correctly.
- Try different Ethernet cables.
- Verify that the network port is active and configured correctly.
- Incorrect Speed (SPD LED):
- The SPD LED indicates the negotiated speed. If it's not as expected, check the capabilities of the connected network device and end device.
- Ensure the Ethernet cables used are appropriate for the desired speed (e.g., Cat5e or Cat6 for 100 Mbps).
- PoE Not Working for Device:
- Ensure the 'POW' switch on the media converter is set to 'ON'.
- Verify that the end device is PoE-compatible (802.3af or legacy PoE).
- Check the power requirements of the end device against the PoE capabilities of the media converter.
