Introduction

The Intelligent 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Media Converter series (WFT-20x) support
the conversion of different media between the copper Fast Ethernet (10/100Base-TX) and
ber Fast Ethernet (100Base-FX).

The WFT-20x had built-in Micro Processor to monitor the WFT-20x status and to congure
the device’s advanced function. Through in-band management via TELNET, Web Browser
and SNMP management utility or the out-band management via RS-232 console to
monitor the status.

Power Notice:

1.The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is
powered. If your networks should active all the time, please consider using
UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from
network data loss or network downtime.

2.In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect
your switch from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the
media converter.
