Chapter 1: Overview

Introduction

The AT-MMC2000/200 Series Mini Switching Media Converters include the following models:

AT-MMC2000/SC

AT-MMC2000/ST

AT-MMC2000/SP

AT-MMC2000/LC

AT-MMC200/SC

AT-MMC200/ST

AT-MMC200/LC

The AT-MMC2000/200 Series Mini Switching Media Converters are designed to extend the distance of your network by interconnecting LAN devices that are physically separated by large distances.

These media converters:

Provide a smaller-sized space-saving alternative that allows enterprises to connect copper networks to fiber networks, offering a cost-effective method for integrating fiber-optic cabling into a 10/ 100/1000 or 10/100 UTP environment:

–The AT-MMC2000/SC, AT-MMC2000/ST, and AT-MMC2000/LC connect 10/100/1000Mbps copper networks to 1000Mbps fiber networks.

–The AT-MMC2000/SP connects 10/100/1000Mbps copper networks to 100/1000Mbps fiber networks.

–The AT-MMC200/SC, AT-MMC200/ST, and AT-MMC200/LC connect 10/100Mbps copper networks to 100Mbps fiber networks.

Operate at 1000Mbps full duplex (AT-MMC2000/SC, AT-MMC2000/ST, and AT-MMC2000/LC), 100/1000 Mbps full duplex (AT-MMC2000/SP, depending on the SFP type), or 100Mbps full duplex (AT-MMC200/SC, AT-MMC200/ST, and AT-MMC200/LC).

Can be installed on a desktop or can be wall mounted: easy to install and do not require any software configuration or management.





Optional Speed/Duplex and Smart MissingLink™ (SML) settings may be configured using DIP switches.

12VDC locking power connector.

Here are the basic features of the twisted-pair (copper) port:

10/100/1000 Mbps (AT-MMC2000/SC, AT-MMC2000/ST, AT-MMC2000/LC, AT-MMC2000/SP) or 10/100 Mbps (AT-MMC200/SC, AT-MMC200/ST, AT-MMC200/LC)

10/100/1000Base-T compliant (AT-MMC2000/SC, AT-MMC2000/ ST, AT-MMC2000/LC, AT-MMC2000/SP) or 10/100Base-T compliant (AT-MMC200/SC, AT-MMC200/ST, AT-MMC200/LC)

IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation compliant

Auto MDI/MDI-X

100 meters (328 feet) maximum operating distance

RJ45 connector

The AT-MMC2000/200 Series converters support the following transceiver fiber connections:

The AT-MMC2000/SC has a fixed dual fiber SC 1000-X connection.

The AT-MMC2000/ST has a fixed dual fiber ST 1000-X connection.

The AT-MMC2000/LC has a fixed dual fiber LC 1000-X connection.

The AT-MMC200/SC has a fixed dual fiber SC 100-X connection.

The AT-MMC200/ST has a fixed dual fiber ST 100-X connection.

The AT-MMC200/LC has a fixed dual fiber LC 100-X connection. For the maximum operating distance, refer to Table 12 on page 58.

The AT-MMC2000/SP has a plug-in SFP cage fiber connection. 1000-X and 100-FX modules are supported.

Note

For the AT-MMC2000/SP, you must purchase the SFP transceiver separately. For a list of supported transceivers, contact your Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.

An RJ45 twisted-pair port on a 100 Mbps Ethernet network device can have one of two possible wiring configurations: MDI or MDI-X. The RJ45 port on a PC, router, or bridge is typically wired as MDI, while the twistedpair port on a switch or hub is usually MDI-X.

The media converter features Auto MDI/MDI-X. The twisted-pair port automatically determines the configuration of the port on the device to which it is connected and then configures itself appropriately.

For example, if a port on a media converter is connected to a port on a bridge, which is typically wired as MDI, the port on the media converter automatically configures itself as MDI-X.
