TP-Link TR-932D, TR-962D - 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Converter Manual

Introduction

The TR-9XX series products are 10/100Mbps fast ethernet converter. The converter mediates between a 10/100Base-TX segment and a 100Base-FX segment. It is primarily designed for large, more high speed/bandwidth demanding workgroups that require expansion of the Fast Ethernet network.

Features

• Complies with 802.3u 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX standard.
• Provide one SC fiber connector and one UTP connector.
• Auto-detection of half/full duplex transfer mode for TX port.
• Auto-negotiation of 10/100Mbps rate and Auto-Crossover for TX port.
• Provide switch configuration of half/full duplex transfer mode for FX port.
• Extend fiber distance up to 2km for multi-mode fiber and
• 20-60km for single-mode fiber.
• Easy-to-view LED indicators provide status to monitor network activity easily.
• External power supply.

Network Cable Supported

The connectors and network cables supported by the converter are listed in the following:

UTP: Cat 5 Twisted-Pair

Fiber SC: 1300nm 62.5/125,50/125um Single/Multi-mode fiber

Appearance Indication

LED Indicators

This converter has LED indicators which can provide a real-time report. When you take a look at these indicators, you will know what's happening on your network.

• Power(green) Lights when the adapter is properly plugged in.
• TX_SPD(green) Lights when the UTP ports is connected to 100Base-Tx device.
• TX_LINK/ACT(green) Steady green indicates that a valid link exists. Flashing green indicates that the converter is receiving data or transmitting data from the RJ45 connector.
• FX_LINK/ACT(green) Steady green indicates that a valid link exists. Flashing green indicates that the converter is receiving data or transmitting data from the Fiber Optic connector.
• FX_FDX/COL(green) Steady green indicates that the fiber optic connector is operating in full-duplex mode. The light is off Which means that the fiber optic connector is operating in half-duplex mode. Flashing green indicates for collision.

FDX/HDX Switch

• FDX: The UTP port operate in full-duplex mode;
• HDX: The UTP port operate in haf-duplex mode;

Notice: You must reset the converter when you achieve the configuration.

Installation Guide

Configuration

In order to achieve the aim of effectively expanding a Fast Ethernet network, You can use the converter for example:

1. Position two converters back to back between the following end devices.
   

2. Another effective application is to position one converter directly between a 10/100Base-TX network and a fiber optic (FX) device.
   

Installation Procedure

1. Converter to 10/100Base-TX Device (hub or switch) Connection

• Make sure that the length of twisted pair cable (Category-5) between 10/100Base-TX device and converter is no longer than 100 meters.
• Connect one end of twisted pair cable to RJ45 jack on the converter and the other end of the cable to the RJ45 jack on the 10/100Base-TX device.

2. Converter to Converter or 100Base-FX Device Connection

• Connect one (SC) end of a fiber cable to the SC connector on the converter and the other end of the cable to the SC connector on the other converter or 100Base-FX device.

3. Turn on the power
