The CVT-100W2X package should contain following items:
Please notify your sales representative immediately if any
items are missing or damaged.
2. Overview
CVT-100W2X is designed to meet the needs for massive
optical fiber network deployment and able to extend a legacy
copper based network via fiber cable to a maximum distance
of up to 40KM.
CVT-100W2X is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 & 802.3u
standards; built-in Switching ASIC has turned CVT-100W2X
function more like a 2-port switch than a traditional converter.
Users can get all switching benefits such like traffic
segmentation, frames checking & error filtering. In addition,
Link Alarm allows users to monitor & maintain their critical
fiber link more easily and effectively.
The installation and operation procedures of the
CVT-100W2X are simple & straightforward. Operation
status can be monitored through a set of Diagnostic LEDs
located on the front panel.

3. Installation
The installation procedure is simple and straightforward.
Attach fiber cable from the CVT-100W2X to the fiber
network.
Attach a UTP cable from the 10/100Base-TX
network to the RJ-45 port on the CVT-100W2X.
Connect the power adapter to the CVT-100W2X and
check that the Power LED lights up. The TP Link and
FX Link LED will light when all the cable connections
are satisfactory.

7. Link Alarm
Link Alarm allows users to easily identify and diagnose the
linking status. If Link Alarm Dip switch is set to Enable,
UTP and Fiber port can link up only when both linking
conditions are good. In addition, if the fiber or UTP port link
is down during operation, the other port will also be turned
down to alert the user. Setting Link Alarm Dip switch to
Enable provides users transparent link indication between
two network devices interconnected by CVT-100W2X.
If Link Alarm is disabled, the UTP and fiber port will link up
based on their individual linking condition. Furthermore, if
fiber port link is down during operation, it will not turn down
the UTP port link and vice versa.
