USER'S GUIDE
The TRANSITION Networks ARCNET
(AR-CF-02) extends the signal distance of an ARCNET
link up to 2 kilometers over fiber*, up to 600 meters over coax cable in a star
topology, and up to 300 meters over coax cable in a bus topology.
A switch on the media converter allows the media converter to be used to
terminate the link or node signal.
AR-CF-02
Provides a BNC
connector to coaxial
cable and a set of RX
(receive) and TX
(transmit) ST connectors
to multimode fiber-optic
cable.
AR-CF-02(SC)
Provides a BNC connector to
coaxial cable and an RX (receive)
and TX (transmit) SC connector to
multimode fiber-optic cable.
STATUS LEDS
Power Steady green LED indicates connection to external AC power.
Coax Blinking green LED
indicates network
traffic on coaxial cable
link.
Fiber Blinking green LED
indicates network traffic on fiber link.
*Consider carefully the network constraints imposed by the maximum latency
response time of installed equipment. Some equipment cannot handle the extended
response time that 2 kilometers of fiber introduces.
