    About the McPC 100Mbps The McPC 100Mbps is an IEEE 802.3 single-conversion PC media converter card designed to convert twisted pair (100Base-TX) connections to a variety of other fiber connections: 100 Base-SX 850 or 1300nm multi-mode or 100Base-FX 1310nm or 1550nm single-mode.

    During normal operation, link integrity pulses are transmitted by all point-to-point Ethernet devices. When an IMC Networks media converter receives valid link pulses, it knows that the device to which it is connected is up and sending pulses, and that the copper or fiber cable coming from that device is intact.
  • Page 7 The McPC 100Mbps 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. The combination of FiberAlert and LinkLoss allows this information to be obtained, even when physical access to a remote device (and its link integrity LED) is not available.
  • Page 8 Enabling TX and FX LinkLoss In order to enable the LinkLoss features, remove the cover from the unit and place the jumpers accordingly. Follow the instructions below, referencing the diagram. Make sure that there is no power going to the unit by UNPLUGGING THE POWER CORD.

    Dust caps are installed at IMC Networks to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable to the device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective dust caps.
