3. Opsætning og installation
Follow these steps to properly set up your Novastar CVT310 fiber converter:
- Montering: The CVT310 is designed for DIN Rail mounting. Secure the unit to a standard DIN rail in a suitable enclosure or rack. Ensure adequate space for ventilation and cable connections.
- Strømtilslutning: Connect the provided AC power cable to the power input port on the rear of the CVT310. Connect the other end to a standard 100-240V AC power outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting.
- Ethernet-forbindelse: Connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable from your network device (e.g., switch, computer) to the Gigabit Ethernet port on the CVT310.
- Fiberoptisk forbindelse: Connect a multi-mode twin-core LC fiber optic cable to the optical port (LC connector) on the CVT310. Ensure the fiber cable is securely seated. The pre-installed optical module supports 850 nm wavelength.
- Tænd: Flip the power switch to the ON position. The POWER indicator LED should illuminate.

4. Betjeningsvejledning
Once the CVT310 is powered on and cables are connected, observe the LED indicators for operational status:
- STRØM-LED: Lyser, når enheden modtager strøm.
- FX/ACT LED: Indicates activity on the fiber optic port. A solid light typically means a link is established, and blinking indicates data transmission.
- TP/ACT LED: Indicates activity on the Ethernet (Twisted Pair) port. A solid light typically means a link is established, and blinking indicates data transmission.
- DATA-LED: A general data activity indicator, often mirroring FX/ACT or TP/ACT.
Ensure both FX/ACT and TP/ACT LEDs are lit or blinking to confirm proper link establishment and data flow between the Ethernet and fiber optic networks.

7. Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your CVT310, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| No Power (POWER LED off) | Power cable disconnected; Power outlet faulty; Device power switch off. | Check power cable connection; Try a different power outlet; Ensure power switch is ON. |
| No Fiber Link (FX/ACT LED off) | Fiber cable disconnected or damaged; Incorrect fiber type (e.g., single-mode instead of multi-mode); Optical module issue; Remote device not powered or faulty. | Verify fiber cable connections at both ends; Ensure correct multi-mode LC fiber is used; Check the remote fiber device status; Contact support if optical module is suspected faulty. |
| No Ethernet Link (TP/ACT LED off) | Ethernet cable disconnected or damaged; Network device port faulty; Incorrect cable type. | Verify Ethernet cable connection; Try a different Ethernet port on the network device; Ensure a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable is used. |
| Data Transmission Issues | Network configuration error; Excessive fiber cable length; Interference. | Check network settings on connected devices; Ensure fiber cable length does not exceed 550m; Minimize electromagnetic interference. |
