AT-MC104 Series Fast Ethernet Media Converters

The AT-MC104 Series Media Converters include the following models:
AT-MC104XL
AT-MC104LH
AT-MC104SC/FS3
AT-MC104ST/FS3
AT-MC104SC/FS4
AT-MC104ST/FS4
AT-MC104 Series Fast Ethernet Media Converters are designed to extend the distance of your network by interconnecting multimode fiber optic cabling and single-mode fiber optic cabling. The media converters allow you to interconnect LAN devices that are physically separated by large distances.
Each media converter features two 100Base-FX ports with either SC or ST connectors. One port uses multimode fiber optic cabling and has a maximum distance of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles). The second port uses single-mode fiber optic cabling and has a maximum distance of 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) to 100 kilometers (62 miles), depending on the model. These units operate at 100 Mbps and feature half-duplex and full-duplex operation.
The media converters can be installed either as standalone units, such as on a table, or in an AT-MCR12 Rackmount Chassis or AT-TRAY4 Rackmount Tray. AT-MC104 Series Media Converters are easy to install and do not require any software configuration or management. Figure 1 shows an AT-MC104 Series Media Converter.

between the ports on the media converter and the nodes that are connected to the ports. If a network problem occurs, you can perform a link test to determine which port is experiencing a problem, and be able to focus on the fiber optic cable and node where the problem resides.
The link test is a fast and easy way for you to test the connections
A link test is performed when the button is in the LNK TST (OUT) position. For instructions on performing a link test, refer to “Testing the Installation” on page 11.
