Page 13: Chapter 1 Overview
Chapter 1 Overview The AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Bridging Converters are the 10/100Mbps fast switch single-mode fiber transceivers which can send and receive on two different wavelengths (1310nm and 1550nm) on a single-mode fiber cable. The AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Bridging Converters include the following models: ❑... - Page 14 Overview The fiber optic port operates at 100 Mbps, while the twisted pair port operates at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Both ports feature half- and full-duplex operation. AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Bridging Converters can be installed on a desktop or in an AT-MCR12 chassis. These bridging converters are easy to install and do not require software configuration or management.
- Page 15 The back panel of the AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Bridging Converters features a receptacle power connector and DIP switches for manually configuring the ports. Note The AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Bridging Converters are designed with 2 different receptacle connectors: 12VDC only or 12-50VDC version models.

Page 19: Twisted Pair Port
AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Installation Guide Twisted Pair Port The AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Bridging Converters have one 10Base-T/100Base-TX twisted pair port. The twisted pair port features a RJ-45 connector. Port Speed The twisted pair port is compliant with the 10Base-T and 100Base-TX standards and is capable of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps operation. -
Page 20: Auto Mdi/Mdi-X
Overview Auto MDI/MDI-X An RJ-45 twisted pair port on a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet network device can have one of two possible wiring configurations: MDI or MDI-X. The RJ-45 port on a PC, router, or bridge is typically wired as MDI, while the twisted pair port on a bridging converter or hub is usually MDI-X. -
Page 21: Duplex Mode
Duplex Mode The fiber optic port on the bridging converter can operate in half- or full- duplex mode. You must set the duplex mode manually using the DIP switches on the back of the unit. Mode Selection Button Link Test The link test is a fast and easy way for you to test the connections between the bridging converter ports and the end-nodes that are connected to the ports. -
Page 22: Smart Missinglink
Overview Note MissingLink or Smart MissingLink is disabled when you perform a link test. Consequently, to ensure that the MissingLink or Smart MissingLink is enabled on the bridging converter, always set the Mode Selection button so that the ML or SML LED is green during normal network operations. -
Page 23: Dip Switches
AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Installation Guide DIP Switches The DIP switches are used to manually configure the operating characteristics of the ports. These characteristics include the port speed, duplex mode, and auto-negotiation. On the 100Base-FX fiber optic port, you can manually set the duplex mode to either half- or full-duplex. -
Page 24: Network Topologies
Overview The bridging converter will discard CRC errors, misaligned, runt, and under- oversized packets. When the packet has dribble bits at the end, the bridging converter will truncate to octet boundary and check for a good FCS before forwarding. Network Topologies Figure 6 illustrates a back-to-back topology using one AT-FS238a/x and one AT-FS238b/x Series Bridging Converters to interconnect two small networks of stackable hubs. -

Figure 8 Connecting an 12VDC Powered Unit Verify that the PWR LED on the front of the unit is green. - Page 32 Installing the Bridging Converter Negative Figure 9 Positive, Ground, and Negative Symbols Warning The power input must be provided from SELV source only, per IEC 60950. Do not connect to centralized DC battery bank. Secure the power supply cable in the Restricted Access Area using multiple cable ties to minimize the chance of the connections being disturbed by casual contact with the wiring.
- Page 33 Note UL recognized wires of 22-gauge minimum should be provided by the installer. With a 22-gauge wire-stripping tool, strip the three wires in the tray cable coming from the DC input power source to 8mm ± 1mm (0.31in.± 0.039in.), as shown in Figure 11 on page 21. Warning Do not strip more than the recommended amount of wire.
- Page 34 Installing the Bridging Converter Connect the other end of the wires to the terminal block on the AT- PWR237 power adapter. Note The terminal block on the AT-PWR237 does not have a connection for the ground feed wire. Warning "Safety Hazard"- Check to see if there are any exposed copper strands coming from the installed wires.
