    PCI and PCI Express connectors. Note For simplicity in the rest of this manual, the AT-MC102XLPCI & AT- MC102XLPCIe 100Mbps Media Converters will be referred to as AT- MC102XLPCI Media Converter.
  • Page 16: Key Features

    This media converter operates at 100 Mbps and is configured from the factory for Auto-Negotiation mode. The AT-MC102XLPCI Media Converter is designed to be installed in a PCI bus slot of a PC and does not require any software configuration or management.
  • Page 17: Status Leds

    AT-MC102XLPCI & AT-MC102XLPCIE 100Mbps Media Converter Installation Guide Status LEDs The AT-MC102XLPCI Media Converter has two status LEDs associated with the 100Base-TX twisted-pair port and the 100Base-FX fiber optic port. The location of these LEDs is shown in Figure 2.
  • Page 18: Auto Mdi/Mdix

    PC, router, or bridge is typically wired as MDI, while the twisted- pair port on a switch or hub is usually MDI-X. The AT-MC102XLPCI Media Converter features automatic MDI/MDI-X. The 100Base-TX port automatically determines the configuration of the port on the device to which it is connected and then configures itself appropriately.
  • Page 19: Auto-Negotiation

    The 100FX port usually operates in Full Duplex mode. The goal of the Auto-Negotiation feature is to avoid a duplex mismatch between the copper and fiber ports of the AT-MC102XLPCI by ensuring that the twisted-pair port and its link partner are also configured to operate in Full Duplex mode.
  • Page 20: Table 2. Auto-Negotiation Configuration- Jumper J4 Positions

    Auto-Negotiation feature enabled Note If you choose to remove the jumper, Allied Telesis recommends that you re-install the jumper on the center pin (2) only, 90 degrees from the pins 1 and 3 so that it does not get lost.
  • Page 21: Missinglink & Link Test Features

    For example, if the twisted-pair cable to the 100Base-TX port on the media converter were to fail and the link went down, the AT-MC102XLPCI would respond by dropping the link on the 100Base-FX fiber optic port. In this way, the media converter notifies the end-node connected to the fiber optic port that the connection on the twisted-pair port has been lost.
