    The appropriate “LINK” LED is lit to indicate this. The IMC Networks media converter also sends out link pulses from its copper and fiber transmitters, but normally has no way of knowing whether the cable to the other device is intact and the link pulses are reaching the other end.

If you want to enable FiberAlert on BOTH sides of the conversion, you MUST also enable Pulsing FiberAlert on one unit. IMC Networks recommends enabling Pulsing FiberAlert on ONE side (see page 5).

  • Page 8: Auto-Negotiation On Mcbasic Tx/Fx

    McBasic TX/FX includes Auto-Negotiation. When Auto-Negotiation is enabled (default), the media converter negotiates as a 100 Mbps Full-Duplex device; if the device the McBasic TX/FX is connected to can operate at 100 Mbps Full-Duplex, a link will be established. If the twisted pair port on the other device does not have the ability to auto- negotiate, or if a 100 Mbps Half-Duplex connection is desired, Auto-Negotiation on McBasic TX/FX must be disabled.
