This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial Media
Converter’s components and guides you 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 Media Converter” means the IFT-802T / 802TS15 / 805AT.
2.1 Product Description
The IFT-80xT is an industrially-hardened media converter
specially designed to operate under the environment
temperature range of -40 to 75°C. The IFT-80xT is highly
reliable and stable when operating in the harsh environment.
The IFT-80xT provides high level of immunity to electromagnetic
interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments
found on plant oors or in curb side trafc control cabinets.
The IFT-80xT is packaged in a compact, IP30 standard metal
that allows either DIN or panel mounting for efcient 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-redundancy, reversible
polarity, and 24V DC and 48V DC power supply inputs for high
availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.
The IFT-80xT provides one 10/100BASE–TX optic-ber SC/SFP
interface and one 100BASE-FX optic-ber SC/SFP interface. It
provides multi-mode or single-mode 100BASE-FX SC interface
and 100BASE-FX SFP slot. The ber transmit distance of the
IFT-802T can be 2km while that of the IFT-802TS15 is 15km
and that of the IFT-805AT varies depending on SFP module.
With Fast Ethernet SFP interface, the IFT-805AT is highly
10
reliable and exible to extend the distance from 2km to 60km,
depending on the MFB family Fast Ethernet SFP modules.
MFB family Fast Ethernet SFP module comes with one of the
following models. The following list the available modules for the

4. Media Converter Operation
4.1 Learning
When one packet comes in from any port, the Industrial Media
Converter will record the source address, port number and the
other related information in the address table. This information
will be used to decide whether forwarding or ltering is for
future packets.
4.2 Forwarding & Filtering
When one packet comes from a port of the Industrial Media
Converter, it will also check the destination address besides
the source address learning. The Industrial Media Converter
will look up the address table for the destination address. If
not found, this packet will be forwarded to all the other ports
except the port which this packet comes in. And these ports
will transmit this packet to the network it connected. If found,
and the destination address is located at a different port from
this packet comes in, the Industrial Media Converter will forward
this packet to the port where this destination address is located
according to the information from address table. But, if the
destination address is located at the same port with this packet
comes in, then this packet will be ltered, thereby increasing
the network throughput and availability
4.3 Store-and-Forward
Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques.
A Store-and-Forward Industrial Media Converter stores the
incoming frame in an internal buffer and does the complete
error checking before transmission. Therefore, no error packets
occur. it is the best choice when a network needs efciency and
stability.
22
The Industrial Media Converter scans the destination address
from the packet-header, searches the routing table provided
for the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required.
The fast forwarding makes the media converter attractive for
connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing
throughput and availability. However, the media converter is
the most commonly used to segment the existing hubs, which
nearly always improve the overall performance.
Owing to the learning function of the Industrial Media Converter,
the source address and corresponding port number of each
incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table.
This information is subsequently used to lter packets whose
destination address is on the same segment as the source
address. It connes network trafc to its respective domain,
reducing the overall load on the network.
The Industrial Media Converter performs “Store-and-Forward";
therefore, no error packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the
re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur
4.4 Auto-negotiation
The STP ports on the Industrial Media Converter have a built-in
“auto-negotiation”. This technology automatically sets the
best possible bandwidth when a connection is established with
another network device (usually at Power On or Reset). This
is done by detecting the modes and speeds within seconds
right after both devices are connected. Both 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX devices can connect with the port in either half- or
full-duplex mode.
23
5. Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If
the Industrial Media Converter is not functioning properly, make
sure the Industrial Media Converter was set up according to
instructions in this manual.
The per port LED is not lit
Solution:
Check the cable connection of the Industrial Media Converter.
Performance is bad
Solution:
Check the speed duplex mode of the partner device. The
Industrial Media Converter runs in the auto-negotiation mode
and if the partner is set to half duplex, then the performance
will be poor.
Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate full duplex.
Some devices use a physical or software switch to change
duplex modes. Auto-negotiation may not recognize this type of
full-duplex setting.
Why the Industrial Media Converter doesn’t connect to the
network
Solution:
Check per port LED on the Industrial Media Converter. Try
another port on the Industrial Media Converter Make sure the
cable is installed properly. And make sure the cable is the right
type to turn off the power. After a while, turn on the power
again.
