10/100 Autosensing Media Converteris a low-cost, standalone, IEEE 802.3 single-conversion media converter which converts between:

z10Base-T twisted pair and 10Base-FL single or multi-mode fiber;

z100Base-TX twisted pair and 100Base-SX multi-mode fiber

z100Base-TX twisted pair and 100Base-FX single-mode fiber

10/100 Autosensing Media Converter is a 1U high, table-top unit that includes diagnostic LEDs, an internal, universal (100/240 VAC) power supply, one RJ-45 connector for the twisted pair port and one pair of ST (LMC7001A-R4 for 850 nm multi-mode, LMC7005A for 1300 nm multimode, and LMC7003A-R4 for 1310 nm single mode) or SC (LMC7002A-R4 for 850 nm multi-mode, LMC7006A for 1300 nm multi-mode, and LMC7004A-R4 for 1310 nm single-mode) connectors for the fiber port.

Installing 10/100 Autosensing Media Converter

10/100 Autosensing Media Converter comes ready to install. The only adjustments that may need to be made after installation are:

zConfiguring the unit for its mode of operation and other features.

zSetting the twisted pair port for a crossover workstation or passthrough connection.

To install the 10/100 Autosensing Media Converter, first make sure that the unit is placed on a suitable flat surface, leaving some space behind the unit. Attach the cables between the 10/100 Autosensing Media Converter and each device that will be interconnected, then plug the unit into a reliable, filtered power source.

NOTE: All network cables must be connected for link LEDs to glow.

The following diagram shows the faceplate on the 10/100 Autosensing Media Converter. Regardless of the type of fiber connectors, the LEDs operate the same. Refer to page 5 for LED functionality.

Configuration Instructions

10/100 Autosensing Media Converters features an 8-position DIP switch for configuring the unit. This switch is accessed through a cut-out in the bottom of the unit. After configuring the switch,

power down the unit and then power up again for the DIP switch changes to take effect. The following table provides simplified definitions of the

function of each switch. More detailed information follows.

10/100 Autosensing Media Converter Modes of Operation

The 10/100 Autosensing Media Converter features three “modes” of operation: Auto-Negotiation/PNP mode, Force 10 mode and Force 100 mode. Your media converter should be configured for one of these modes (factory default is AN/PNP mode). For information on Link Fault Detection, refer to pages 3-5.

NOTE

10/100 Autosensing Media Converter cannot be manually set for Halfor Full-Duplex. Duplex is determined by the devices to which your media converter is connected.

Auto-Negotiation mode, also known as PNP, is the mode most ideally suited for the 10/100 Autosensing Media Converter. In this mode, the converter will optimally and automatically configure for speed (10 or 100 Mbps) depending on the capabilities of the end stations.

To enable Auto-Negotiation/PNP mode, set switch S6 to the ON position, with switches S7 and S8 in the OFF position.

In Force 10 mode, the media converter converts 10Base-T to 10Base-FL; 100 Mbps signals are not accepted.

To enable Force 10 mode, set switch S7 and S8 to the ON position, with switch S6 in the OFF position.

4)Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective dust caps.

5)If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between blasting with clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.
