The maximum operating distance of the port will be less Distance if it is operating in half-duplex mode. Type of Cable The fiber optic port on the AT-PC232/POE Media Converter uses multi- mode fiber optic cable. Optical Output Refer to “100Base-FX Port 1 Specifications” on page 55. -
Page 21: Operating Modes
AT-PC232/POE Media Converter Installation Guide Operating Modes The AT-PC232/POE Media Converter supports these operating modes: “Link Test Mode,” next “MissingLink Mode” on page 21 “Smart MissingLink Mode” on page 22 Link Test Mode Contrary to its name, the Link Test operating mode is not a diagnostic utility. -
Page 22: Smart Missinglink Mode
Link Test mode would probably be a better operating mode for the media converter during normal network operations. Furthermore, Allied Telesis does not recommend using the MissingLink mode when troubleshooting a network problem that may have its roots with a link problem. -
Page 23: Setting The Operating Mode
As with the other operating modes, this mode does not interfere with the flow of network traffic through the ports of a media converter during normal network operations of a media converter. However, Allied Telesis recommends limiting its use to diagnosing link failures, particularly if the network devices connected to the ports are managed devices. -
Page 24: Power Over Ethernet
