Cabletron Systems COFOT-F1 User Manual

USING LANVIEW
LANVIEW is Cabletron Systems' diagnostic and
monitoring system.
Power (PWR) When lit, this green LED indicates that
the COFOT is receiving power. If the PWR LED is not
lit, check that the power cord is plugged into the
COFOT and the wall socket, and that the wall socket
has power.
Transmit (XMT) The green LED flashes when the CO-
FOT is receiving data at the fiber port and transmitting
it from the coax port. The LED flash is pulse stretched
for viewing effect.
Receive (RCV) This yellow LED flashes when the CO-
FOT is receiving data at the coax port and transmitting
it from the fiber port. The LED is pulse stretched for
viewing effect.
Collision (CLN) This red LED flashes when the
adapter detects a collision condition or a jabber packet
on the network. The flash frequency may increase as
network traffic increases since more collisions are
likely to occur. The LED is pulse stretched for viewing
effect.
Link OK (LNK) When lit, this green LED indicates that
a link has been established between the COFOT and
the device at the other end of the fiber optic segment.
The LED remains lit as long as the link is maintained.

10BASE-2 to 10BASE-FL/FOIRL
The COFOT-F1 and COFOT-F2 coaxial to fiber optic
transceivers let you connect an Ethernet 10BASE-2
thin coaxial cable segment to a 10BASE-FL/FOIRL
fiber optic cable segment. The COFOT-F1 and
COFOT-F2 are identical except for their fiber optic
connectors:
• The COFOT-F1 has SMA connectors.
• The COFOT-F2 has ST connectors.
Except where noted otherwise, this guide collectively
refers to both versions of the adapter as COFOT.
