Introduction
This Tyco Electronics/AMP Netconnect auto-negotiating Fast
Ethernet Media Converter translates between 10/100Base-TX
copper and 100Base-FX fiber cabling. The converter can be either
rack mounted in a 19" Chassis Unit or used as a standalone unit.
The Media Converter enables you to extend the distance of your
10/100BaseTX Ethernet network up to 2 kilometers for multi-mode
fiber or up to 30 kilometers for single-mode fiber. SC, ST and MT-RJ
optical multimode fiber connectors are available.
This range of media converters also includes a WDM ( Wavelength
Division Multiplexing ) Converter. This has exactly the same
functionality as the standard converters but the WDM technology
that combines the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) lines onto a single
fiber, which reduces cabling cost.
A pair of WDM converters ( wavelength 1310 and 1550 nm ) should
be installed at either end of the single fiber cable.

With DIP-switch 2 in the OFF (up) position, the fiber port will be configured in 100Mbit/s full-duplex mode (Default setting). Fiber Half-duplex With DIP-switch 2 in the ON (down) position, the fiber port is configured to 100Mbit/s half-duplex mode . Page 8 Tyco Electronics... - Page 9 For such applications the converter should operate in 100M operation. Notes:- § After changing the DIP-switch setting, the unit needs to be reset by power-cycling before the switch changes can take effect. Page 9 Tyco Electronics...

“switch” converter mode is 1589 bytes including CRC and tagged VLAN extension. All Packets greater than 1589 bytes are discarded and so will not pass across the link. When in “pure” converter mode packets will not be rejected regardless of size.
