10/100 Autosensing Media Converter™ is a low-cost, standalone, IEEE

802.3 single-conversion media converter which converts between:

z

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

z

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

z

100Base-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:

z

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

z

Setting 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.

• 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.

N

OTE

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

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
