FCC Information

The Federal Communication Commission
Radio Frequency Interference Statement
includes the following paragraph:
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B Digital
Device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communication.
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 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.

The user should not modify or change this
equipment without written approval from
company name. Modification could void
authority to use this equipment.
For the safety reason, people should not work
in a situation which RF Exposure limits be

exceeded. To prevent the situation happening,
people who work with the antenna should be
aware of the following rules:

1. Install the antenna in a location where a

distance of 6.5 cm from the antenna may
be maintained.

2. While installing the antenna in the

location, please do not turn on the power
of wireless card.

3. While the device is working, please do

not contact the antenna.

General Descriptions

1.1 Introduction

The fiber Optic Medium Attachment Unit
provides the complete Attachment Unit
Interface (AUI) to fiber optic interface. It
connects to any standard IEEE802.3 Data
Terminal Equipment AUI connector, and
requires no configuration. It is connected
through a standard AUI cable or direct
connection to an Ethernet board or Ethernet
device unit via the AUI port. The MAU
includes the complete transmission, receiving,
and collision detection, jabber timer, link test
function as specified by the IEEE802.3 for use
in a 10Mbps CSMA/CD Ethernet on a duplex
fiber optic LAN system.

♦ Complies with the IEEE802.3 10Base-FL

standards.

♦ Supports up to 2000meters of duplex fiber

optic cable segment.

1.2 Features

♦ Compact design allows direct connection

to an Ethernet board of Ethernet device
unit via the AUI port.

♦ Two female ST connectors, one for

transmitting data and the other is for
receiving data.

♦ Link-integrity test for the automatic

checking of fiber lines

♦ Provides LEDs for a quick visual check

of individual link status, collision,
Transmit, and receive.

♦ Selectable end-of-packet SQE test

2

− Allow SQE (heartbeat) to be

disabled when used with a
concentrator / hub / repeater

− When SQE test switch is enabled,

send a heartbeat signal to the
attached station at the end of a
transmission

Setting and Installation

2.1 Setting the SQE Switch

When this transceiver is connected directly to a
repeater, the SQE function must be disabled.
Note that a 10Base-T concentrator is a repeater
unit.

SQE Test:

§ Default: enable

§ Enable: attaching the transceiver to a LAN

card in a computer, or to device expecting
the SQE test signal such as bridge or router

§ Disable: attaching the transceiver to a

hub’s or repeater’s AUI port

2.2 Installation

Because of the ET-118 compact design, it is
not necessary to connect it to another Ethernet
device via transceiver cable.

The ET-118 15-pin male connector is plugged
into the 15-pin female AUI connector on a
coax Ethernet board or other Ethernet device,
such as a repeater. Once attached, make sure
that the slide locks are properly latched. The
other end of the ET-118 features two female ST
connectors, one for transmit data and one for
receive data. These make with two male ST
connectors at one end of a duplex fiber optic
cable segment, as showing figure 2-1 and
figure 2-2.
