AT-MX10S
10BASE2 Micro Transceiver User Manual
Overview
The Micro Ethernet Transceiver Series of products are direct-attach IEEE 802.3 and
Ethernet Version 1.0 and 2.0 devices. ATI supports all common Ethernet media with
Micro Transceivers for thin coax (10BASE2), UTP (10BASE-T) and Fiber Optic
(10BASE-FL, FOIRL) LAN systems. The transceivers support a single AUI that
attaches directly to the AUI 15-pin connection found on most Ethernet stations
(DTEs). Direct AUI connection reduces cabling costs for the installer.
All ATI transceivers are equipped with LEDs providing status and diagnostic
information. LEDs make LAN installation and troubleshooting easy for the installer. An
easily accessible, user-selectable SQE Test switch (heartbeat) is also provided on all
models. ATI uses quality product packaging for increased reliability. ATI shows a high
level of confidence in these micro transceiver products which come with a 5 yea
warranty.
Preparation
An SQE Test switch is available to provide IEEE 802.3 Ethernet SQE Testing. If
required, place the SQE Test switch to the “ON” position. The amber LED indicates
the SQE Test is enabled. If the DTE does not require an SQE Test, or if the DTE is a
repeater, place SQE Test switch to “OFF.” The green LED indicates the SQE Test is
disabled. Disable the heartbeat function by turning the SQE Test switch “OFF” when
the Ethernet MAU is connected to a repeater to eliminate the possibility of excessive
collisions.
Installation
The AT-MX10S connects directly to a DTE or workstation AUI connector. Plug the
transceiver into the 15-pin AUI connection on the DTE and slide the connector latch
into place. Power on the DTE and verify that the Power LED is lighted. Check to
ensure that the SQE Test setting is appropriate for equipment per the above
requirements. Plug a BNC-T into the AT-MX10S MAU located at end of Ethernet
segment. Attach 50 W terminator to vacant side of “T” connector. If the AT-MX10S is
located in the middle of a segment, connect the “T” to the AT-MX10S and attach thin
coax segments to each side of the “T.” IEEE 802.3 Specifications: 185m (606 ft.)
maximum cable length, maximum of 30 MAU transceiver attachments.

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes and Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer or registrant of this
equipment can void your authority to operate this equipment under Federal Communications
Commission rules.
