Page 12: Chapter 1 Introduction
The MC100FX-SC2/30-A media converter allows seamless integration between a (Fast) Ethernet network using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cabling and a fiber network. The MC100FX-SC2-A media converter comes with a built-in multimode fiber transceiver module with SC connector that can be used for distances of up to 2km. -
Page 13: Key Features
Key Features Each media converter has the following key features: • Automatic MDI/MDI-X selection on RJ-45 port • Link Fault Signaling • Store-and-forward at full-wire speed • Auto-negotiation, NWay support • Half / Full duplex mode selection • Remote and local Loop-back Testing via DIP switch •... -

Page 17: 100Base-Tx Port
100Base-TX port The 10/100BASE-TX port supports network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can operate in half- and full-duplex transfer modes. This port also offers automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection that gives the device true "plug-n-play" capability – just plug the network cable into the port and the port will adjust according to the end-node device automatically. -
Page 18: Link Fault Signaling
The rear panel contains a power port, a power LED, and DIP Switches. Connect the included power adapter (12V DC voltage with minimum 0.8A current) to the port labeled 12VDC 800mA and connect the power adaptor to a power supply (outlet). MC100FX-SC2-A MC100FX-SC30-A... -

Page 21: Nway Dip-Switch Setting
Launch a loop-back or diagnostics testing program and follow the instructions given. Typically, the instructions will be similar to the following: Enter the number of test messages (frame packets) to be sent (between 1 and 1000). Click on the START button. The program will send a testing message that will loop in the fiber segment, it will then display a pass/fail result. - Page 22 Note: If you experience the following problems, please check if the NWay switch is properly set: The LNK (link) LED is not lit and the connection cannot be established The LNK LED is lit and the connection is good, but cannot transmit or receive data MC100FX-SC2/30-A User’s Guide...

Use the LEDs to identify possible problems and then take corrective action. PROBLEM The PWR LED Make sure you are using the supplied power adaptor and that it is plugged in to an appropriate power source. Check that the power is off source is turned on. - Page 25 Check that the distance between them does not (Fiber) LED is off exceed limits for single mode (MC100FX-SC30-A) or multi mode fiber (MC100FX-SC2-A). Check for faulty cables. Check what duplex mode the remote device supports and then set DIP switch 2 (FD for full-duplex and HD for half-duplex).
