  • Page 11: Chapter 1 Overview

    Both ports can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and feature half- and full-duplex operation. The AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL media converters can be used on a desktop or in an AT-MCR12 chassis. These units are easy to install and do not require software configuration or management.
  • Page 12 Figure 2 illustrates an AT-MC116XL media converter. Figure 2 AT-MC116XL Front Panel (SC Connector) Table 1 lists the maximum operating distances for the AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL media converters. The maximum distance of the fiber optic port depends on the operating speed.

    Standard size for use on a desktop or in an AT-MCR12 rackmount chassis Status LEDs Table 2 lists the LEDs for the media converters. Table 2 AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL LEDs Color Description Green Power is applied to the media converter.

  • Page 14: Twisted Pair Port

    100Base-SX port. The fiber optic port features either an SC or ST connector, depending on the model. The maximum operating distance for the fiber optic port for both the AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL is 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) when operating at 10 Mbps and 300 meters (984 feet) when operating at 100 Mbps.

  • Page 15: Duplex Mode

    If the end-node is capable of half-duplex, the port is set automatically to half-duplex mode. The AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL media converters can operate in full- duplex, half-duplex, or auto-negotiate the duplex mode. However, the end- nodes connected to these media converters must operate in the same duplex mode to avoid a duplex mode mismatch, which can result in poor network performance.

  • Page 16: Mdi/Mdi-X Switch

    For example, if the twisted pair cable to the AT-MC115XL were to fail, the media converter would respond by dropping the link on the fiber optic port. In this way, the AT-MC115XL notifies the end-node connected to the fiber optic port that the connection on the twisted pair port has been lost.

  • Page 17: External Power Adapter

    AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL Installation Guide Note The MissingLink feature is disabled when you perform a link test with the NML/LNK TST button. Consequently, to ensure that the MissingLink feature is activated on the media converter, always set the button to the NML (IN) position during normal network operations.

  • Page 18: Network Topologies

    Overview Network Topologies The AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL media converters can be used in two different topologies: standalone and back-to-back. Both types of topologies are described below. Standalone Topology A standalone topology uses one media converter between the end-nodes. Figure 4 illustrates a standalone topology that uses an AT-MC115XL media converter to connect a workstation and a switch.

  • Page 19: Back-To-Back Topology

    AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL Installation Guide Back-to-Back Topology In some network configurations you may want to interconnect two media converters in what is referred to as a back-to-back topology. In this topology, the media converters not only extend the distance of your network but also convert the fiber optic cable from twisted pair to fiber optic and back again.
