Installation
This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial Fast
Ethernet Switch’s components and guides how to install it on
the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed.
Please read this chapter completely before continuing.
In the following section, the term “Industrial Fast Ethernet
Switch” means the MC250-1T/1S.
Product Description
The MC250-1T/1S is an industrially hardened media converter
which is specially designed to operate from -40 to 75℃
temperature. The MC250-1T/1S provides highly reliable and
stable operations for demanding of environments.
The MC250-1T/1S provides a high level of immunity to
electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges
typical of environments found on plant floors or in curb side
traffic control cabinets. The feature of operating temperature
range of -40 to 75 Degrees C coupled with hazardous location
certification allows the media converter to be placed in almost
any location.
The MC250-1T/1S is packaged in a compact, IP-30 standard
metal enclosure that allows either DIN or panel mounting for
efficient use of cabinet space. The media converter provides
an integrated power supply with a wide range of voltages (12
to 48V DC) for worldwide operability or dual-redundant,
reversible polarity, 24V DC and 48V DC power supply inputs
for high availability applications requiring dual or backup power
inputs.
The MC250-1T/1S provides 1 x 10/100Base-TX and 1 x
100Base-FX optic-fiber SFP interface.

With the Fast Ethernet SFP interface, the MC250-1T/1S
extends the transmission distances from 220m to 70Km. The
actual distance is defined by the Fast Ethernet SFP module
selected.
The IFS family of Fast Ethernet SFP modules comes with one
of the following models. The following list shows the available
Modules for MC250-1T/1S.
