2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This product provides two different running speeds – 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX in the same device and the
10/100Base-TX RJ-45 port can automatically distinguish the speed of incoming connection.
This section describes the hardware installation of FST-80x. Before connecting any network device to the FST-80x, read
this chapter carefully.
2.1 Stand-alone Media Converter Installation
The FST-80x can use as a stand-alone Media Converter for Plug & Play and quick network environment deploy, please
follow these steps to install the converter:
• Turn off the power of the device/station in a network to which the FST-80X will be attached.
• Ensure that there is no activity in the network.
• Attach fiber cable from the FST-80X to the fiber network. TX, RX must be paired at both ends.
• Attach a Cat. 5 UTP cable from the 10/100Base-TX network to the RJ-45 port on the FT-80X.
• Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the FST-80X and verify that the Power LED lights up.
• Turn on the power of the device/station, the TX Link /Act and FX Link/Act LEDs should light when all cables are at-
tached.

2.3 Real Ethernet environment application
Standalone and centralize management Media Converter installation
Afford the current network grows and expanding, the PLANET FST-80x provide advanced Media conversion technology to
fill this kind of demand. The FST-80x provide the diverse fiber connect type options to meet different network application, it
is very flexible for FST-80x work as a standalone devices or install into the central Web Smart Media converter chassis for
centralize management. Once, install into Web Smart Media Converter chassis and the FST-80x supports hot swappable
to avoid network downtime, the FST-80x is ideal solution for building a network solution of FTTH (Fiber to the Home) or
FTTC (Fiber to the Curb) and FTTB (Fiber to the Building) for ISPs, campuses and enterprise.

3. MANAGE THE MEDIA CONVERTER
This product provides two different managed methods – configure through its DIP Switch or install into the central Web
Smart Media converter chassis for centralize management.
This section describes how to managed the FST-80x through its DIP Switch and Web Smart Media converter chassis.
Before use the FST-80x smart function, please read this chapter carefully.
3.1 DIP Switch configuration
The FST-80x provide DIP switch to setting fiber (HDX/FDX), UTP (Auto-negotiation / Manual), speed (10/100Mbps), duplex mode (Half / Full duplex mode), LLR (Disable / Enable), LLCF (Disable / Enable). Please refer to the table below for

controlled through Web Browser and terminal emulation program.
The Web Smart Media Converter Chassis will display out the status of FST-80x, also the Web Smart Media Coverter
Chassis can control the function through the management system.
Through the Web Smart Media Coverter Chassis System, you can control the setting of FST-80X, such as fiber
(HDX/FDX), UTP (Auto-negotiation / Manual), speed (10/100Mbps), duplex mode (Half / Full duplex mode), LLR (Disable
/ Enable), LLCF (Disable / Enable).

4. LINK PASS THROUGH FUNCTION
The LFP function includes the Link Fault Pass Through function (LLCF/LLR) and the DIP Switch design. LLCF/LLR can
immediately alarm administrators the problem of the link media and provide efficient solution to monitor the net. The DIP
Switch provides disable or enable the LFP function.
LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward) means when a device connected to the converter and the TP line loss the link, the
converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmit. LLR (Link Loss Return) means when a device connected to the con-
verter and the fiber line loss the link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmit. Both can immediately alarm
administrators the problem of the link media and provide efficient solution to monitor the net.
4.1 Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF)
The FST-80X modules incorporates an LLCF function for troubleshooting a remote connection. When LLCF is enabled, the
FL/TP ports do not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with a good link status using FST-80X for remote connectivity.
Note that LLCF is enabled on DIP switch.

If the connection breaks, FST-80X that link loss forward to the switch/hub which generates a trap to the management
station. The administrator can then determine the source of the problem.

ration to 10 or 100Mbps full or half duplex. This allows the converter to immediately see link pulses and start passing
data.

4.2 Link Loss Return (LLR)
The fiber ports of FST-80X have been designed with an LLR function for troubleshooting a remote connection. LLR works
in conjunction with LLCF.
When LLR is enabled*, the port’s transmitter shuts down when its receiver fails to detect a valid receive link. LLR should
only be enabled on one end of the link and is typically enabled on either the unmanaged or remote device.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with a good link status using FST-80X for remote connectivity.
Note that LLR and LLCF are enabled as indicated in the diagram.

If one of the optical conductors is bad (as shown in the diagram box below), the converter with LLR enabled will return a
no-link condition to its link partner. With LLCF also enabled, the no-link condition is carried forward to the switch/hub where
a trap is generated to the management station, and the administrator can then determine the source of the loss.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the FST-80x is not functioning properly, make sure the
FST-80x was set up according to instructions in this manual.
The Power LED is not lit
Solution:
Check the power cable connection between power adapter and FST-80X.
Why I connect FST-80x to device with 100Base-FX interface and the 100Base-FX fiber connection fail?
Solution:
1. Please check the fiber connection between two devices is correct.
2. Please check the 100Base-FX interface from both devices run at the same full or half duplex
mode.
10/100Base-TX port link LED is lit, but the traffic is irregular
Solution:
1. 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.
2. Check the FST-80x DIP Switch setting and assure the same speed duplex mode setting on FST-80x and attached device.
Why I change the FST-80x DIP switch setting and seems the function without any different?
Solution:
Please power off and power on the FST-80x to take effect.
