Lantronix M/GE-ISW-xx-01 User Guide Connect Fiber Cables Full duplex (always ON) is on the fiber side only, therefore, the 512-Bit Rule does not apply. The cable lengths are constrained by the cable requirement. 1. Locate a 100Base-FX fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
Lantronix M/GE-ISW-xx-01 User Guide Connecting Power Connect to DC (12 – 48 VDC) or AC (22 – 36 VAC) power □ 12-48 VDC and 22-36 VAC power input via the Terminal Block □ Pig-tail Cable with Barrel Connector Note: The Pitch EURO style Terminal block accepts 24-14 gauge wire.
Lantronix M/GE-ISW-xx-01 User Guide Operation Status LEDs Use the status LEDs to monitor the M/GE-ISW-xx-01 media converter operation in the network. The M/GE-ISW-xx-01 front panels are shown in the section “Copper and Fiber Ports” on page 8. The LEDs are described below: PWR: Power status.
Lantronix M/GE-ISW-xx-01 User Guide Product Features The M/GE-ISW-xx-01 features include Congestion reduction, Auto-Negotiation, AutoCross , Link Pass- ™ Through, Automatic link restorationDistance extension, Rate conversion, and Far-end fault. These features are described below. Congestion Reduction The M/GE-ISW-xx-01 media converters do not forward collision signals or error packets from one collision domain to another, resulting in improvements in baseline network performance.
