  • Page 3: Fcc Warning

    FCC Warning This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the regulations for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
  • Page 4 Introduction Thank you for choosing the Smart 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Media Converter, The Media Converter introduced here provides one channel media conversion between 10/100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX. Dual-Wavelength Single-Fiber These types of Single-Fiber modules combine transmit and receive signals onto one fiber strand using two wavelengths. This design avoids the budget losses incurred b the single-wavelength single-fiber technology, and minimizes any possibility of reflections in the system.
  • Page 5 About Link Pass Through When LLCF is enabled, the ports do not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port. Link loss is “carried forward” to the managed switch or hub that is sending the link. LLCF can be used for either the copper or fiber ports.
  • Page 6: Product Features

    Product Features A pair of One-channel single fiber media conversion between 10/100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX. Two different type of transmitting wavelength: One wavelength with bi-directional for both transmits and receives. TX: 1310nm; RX: 1550nm. or TX: 1550nm; RX: 1310nm Auto negotiation of speed and duplex mode on TX port Store-and-forward mechanism Back-pressure &...
  • Page 7: Installation

    Installation This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Smart Media Converter. Selecting a Site for the Equipment As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements: The ambient temperature should be between 32 and...

    Sliding Switch There is a sliding switch for the setting on copper and fiber port. Refer to the table below for more details. 1 2 3 4 5 6 On Fiber Half Duplex Switch 1 Off Fiber Full Duplex On TX Forced Mode Switch 2 Off TX Auto-Negotiation * When switch to Forced Mode, the Auto MDI-X function...
  • Page 9 Installing in a Chassis The Converter can be fit into any of the expansion slots on a special designed chassis. Unscrew and pull out the media converter board First, install the converter onto a carrier supplied with the chassis: Step 1- Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis.
  • Page 10 Management the Media Converter The optional Management Chassis that can control this Smart Media Converter through the management system, this Smart Media Converter can be controlled through Web Browser, SNMP management utility terminal emulation program. The Management Chassis will detect the default reset on the DIP switches and display out the status, also the Management Chassis can control the function through the management system.

    LED Indicator The LED indicators give you instant feedback on status of the converter: 100M LEDs Status Indication Lights on Power on Power off (Power) Lights on Runs at 100Mbps on TX port 100M Runs at 10Mbps on TX port (100Mbps) Lights on Connection in full duplex mode...
  • Page 12 while the other module flips that relationship. For this reason these units are sold in pairs. When using a converter that the TX (transmit) is 1310nm and the RX(receive) is 1550nm, then the other end need to have a combination of converter that the TX(transmit) is 1550nm and the RX(receive) is 1310nm.
  • Page 13: Link Pass Through Function

    Link Pass Through Function LLR (Link Loss Return) When a device connected to the converter and the fiber line loss the link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmit. The switch 5 is to enable or disable the LLR function of the media converter.
  • Page 14 LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward) When a device connected to the converter and the TP line loss the link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmit, so that the other ends will know that there is a linkage error on this end. And when the Fiber line loss the link, the converter’s TP will disconnected, and the other end will know that there is linkage problem exist.
