Page 12: Twisted Pair And Fiber Optic Ports
Overview Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Ports The twisted pair and fiber optic ports on the unit are paired together (see Figure 3). Each pair is referred to as a “channel” and each channel functions as an independent media converter. The AT-MCF106xx Multichannel Media Converter has six channels while the AT-MCF112xx Series Multichannel Media Converter has twelve channels. -
Page 13: Status Leds
AT-MCF106xx and AT-MCF112xx Installation Guide Status LEDs The media converter does not require any software configuration or software management. The status of the unit can be determined by viewing the LEDs on the front of the unit. Table 2 lists the functions of the power supply and Link Test switch LEDs. -
Page 14: Link Test Switch
Overview Link Test Switch The Link Test switch is a fast and easy way for you to test the integrity of the fiber optic connections to the fiber optic ports on the media converter (see Figure 4). The AT-MCF106xx unit has one Link Test switch which is used to test all six fiber optic ports on the unit. -
Page 15: Missinglink Feature
AT-MCF106xx and AT-MCF112xx Installation Guide MissingLink Feature The MissingLink feature enables the twisted pair and fiber optic ports of ™ each channel on the media converter to pass the “Link” status of their connections to each other. When a channel detects a problem with one of the ports, such as the loss of connection to a node, the channel shuts down the connection to the other port of the channel, thus notifying the node that the connection has been lost. -
Page 16: Duplex Mode Dip Switches
Overview Duplex Mode DIP Switches The AT-MCF106xx and AT-MCF112xx Series Multichannel Media Converters include DIP switches (Figure 1) on the front panel for controlling the duplex mode of the individual media converter channels. You use the DIP switches to set each channel to either half- or full-duplex operation. The AT-MCF106xx Series Multichannel Media Converter has one set of DIP switches while the AT-MCF112xx Series has two sets of switches. -

Page 28: Installing The Media Converter In A Rack
Installation If one end node is capable of only half-duplex mode while the other end node will auto-negotiate the duplex mode, set the channel setting to half-duplex. (Failure to set the channel to half-duplex in this situation will result in what is referred to as a classic duplex mode mismatch, where one node will operate in half-duplex while the other node will operate in full-duplex. - Page 29 AT-MCF106xx and AT-MCF112xx Installation Guide Insert the three screws provided with the unit and tighten with a suitable screwdriver, as shown in Figure 9. Figure 9. Installing the Mounting Bracket Repeat Step 4 and Step 5 to install the remaining bracket on the other side of the unit.
