  • Page 11: Overview

    The AT-MC1x Series Media Converters allow you to interconnect LAN devices over large distances. The AT-MC13, AT-MC14, and AT-MC16 media converters feature a 10Base-T twisted pair port and a 10Base-F fiber optic port. The twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).

  • Page 15: Fiber Link Test Switch

    AT-MC1x Series Installation Guide Fiber Link Test Switch The AT-MC13, AT-MC14, and AT-MC16 media converters feature a Fiber Link Test switch. This switch sets the fiber port into an artificial link transmission state for testing without the twisted pair port being connected. When the Fiber Link Test switch is in the DOWN (default) position, the NML LED is green indicating that the media converter is functioning normally.

    The best network performance is achieved when an end-node can operate in full-duplex mode. The AT-MC13, AT-MC14, and AT-MC16 media converters can operate in either full- or half-duplex mode. However, it is important to note that the end-...

  • Page 17: Missinglink

    AT-MC1x Series Installation Guide MissingLink The MissingLink feature enables the ports on the media converter to pass the “Link” status of their connections to each other. When the media converter detects a problem with one of the ports, such as the loss of connection to a end- node, the media converter shuts down the connection to the other port, thus notifying the end-node that the connection has been lost.

  • Page 18: Terminator Switch (At-Mc15 Only)

    Terminator Switch (AT-MC15 Only) The Terminator switch on the AT-MC15 media converter offers 50 termination without the use of a T-connector and 50 barrel terminator. Only end-point nodes need 50 termination. Internal nodes on a thinnet segment should be connected to the cable through standard 10Base2 T-connectors. Refer to Figure 3 for the location of the Terminator switch.

  • Page 21: Back-To-Back Topology

    AT-MC1x Series Installation Guide Back-to-Back Topology In some network configurations you may want to interconnect two media converters in what is referred to as a back-to-back topology. In this topology, the media converters not only extend the distance of your network but also convert the fiber optic cable from twisted pair to fiber optic and back again.

  • Page 23: Installing The Media Converter

    The end-nodes connected to the media converter must operate at 10 Mbps. The end-nodes connected to the ports of the AT-MC13, AT-MC14, and the AT-MC16 must be able to operate in the same duplex mode. These units can operate in either full- or half-duplex mode.
