4 ¾ Connectors : RJ-45, SC. ¾ Network Cables : Cat.5 Twisted-Pair (below abbreviated as TP), 9/125um Single-mode fiber and 50/125, 62.5/125um Multi-mode fiber.
5 Name Status Indication On Power on PWR Off Power off On The Link Fault Pass Thr ough function enable. LFP Of f The Link Faul t Pass Through f unction disa ble. On There’s a valid link. Flashing The converter is receiv ing or transmitting data from the fiber optic conne ctor.
6 1.5.2 Swit ch ¾ TP_AUTO : The TP port operates in Auto-Negotiation mode; ¾ TP_DIS : The TP port operates in FOR CE mode; ¾ TP_100M : The TP port operates in 100Base-Tx; ¾ TP_10M : The TP port op.
7 The Mode Of The Device Switc h TP:AUTO; LFP ON TP_AUTO, TP_100M, TP_FDX, LFP_ON TP:AUTO; LFP OFF TP_AUTO, TP_100M, TP_FDX, LFP_OFF TP:FORCE,100M,FULL; LFP ON TP_DIS, TP_100M, TP_FDX, LFP_ON TP:FORCE.
8 With the Link Fault Pass Throu gh function enabled (optional with switch LFP), TP port and FX port of the same converter will inform each other the fault link status so that when one side of the link fails, the other side will force the link to shut dow n as soon as noticed.
9 Chapter 2 Installation Guide 2.1 Fast Ethernet Media Converter 1. The SC fiber connector of MC 100 CM transmits/receives data by 1310nm short wave laser on multi-mode fiber. 2. The SC fiber connector of MC 110CS transmits/receives data by 1310nm short wave laser on single-mode fiber.
10 2. The SC fiber connector of MC112CS tra nsmits data by 1310nm short wave laser while receives data by 1550nm short wave laser on one single-mode fiber. Transmits and receives data on the same fiber Note: You have to use MC111CS and MC112CS at the same time to cooperate.
11 Chapter 3 Configuration In order to achieve the aim of ef fectively expanding a Fast Ethernet network, you can use the converte r like the following examples: 1.
12 3.1 Inst allation Procedure Use a fiber cable to connect two c onverters, or connect a converter with a 100Base-FX Device. 1. Connection of a Converter and a 10/100Base-TX Device (HUB or Switch). • Make sure that the length of the Cat.5 t wisted pair cable between the 10/100Base-TX devic e and the converter is less than 100 meters.
