PRODUCT OVERVIEW
N-Tron's 302MC Industrial Media Converter is designed to allow the connection of
10/100BaseTX Ethernet devices to your 100BaseFX ber cabling infrastructure.
The 302MC provides one RJ-45 auto sensing 10/100BaseTX port and one
100BaseFX port. The RJ-45 port is full/half duplex capable, using state-of-theart Ethernet switching technology. The 302MC auto-negotiates the speed and
ow control capabilities of the TX copper port connection, and con gures itself
automatically. The 100BaseFX ber optic port utilizes industry standard ST or
SC connectors and is con gured for full duplex operation. Both multimode and
singlemode ber models are available.
Unlike most media converters, the 302MC uses switching technology. This means
10Mbps devices can be connected today and upgraded to 100Mbps later. The
switching fabric simply scales up or down automatically to match the speci c
network environment.
The 302MC supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, enabling these products to
support extremely sophisticated and complex network architectures.
The N-Tron 302MC is well suited to convert 10/100 BaseTX industrial devices to
ber, allowing access to ber based infrastructure and it's inherent advantages.
Compared to copper based systems, ber provides increased noise immunity
and longer cable lengths.
The 302MC has extended operating environmental speci cations to meet the harsh
needs of the industrial environment. For cost savings and convenience the media
converter can be DIN-RAIL mounted alongside Ethernet I/O or other Industrial
Equipment. The unique compact size provides a small footprint, conserving space
in the most critical dimension. The 302MC can also be panel mounted
To increase reliability, the 302MC contains redundant power inputs. LED's are
provided to display the link status and activity of each port, as well as power on/
off status.
N-VIEW OPC PORT MONITORING (With -N Option Only)
The N-Tron N-View OLE for Process Control (OPC) Server Software can be
combined with popular HMI software packages to add network traf c monitoring,
trending and alarming to any application using N-Tron switches con gured with the
N-View option. N-Tron's N-View OPC Server collects 41 different traf c variables
per port and ve system level variables per switch. This information can provide
a complete overview of the network load, service quality, and packet traf c. OPC
client software can use N-View OPC Server data to resolve network problems
quickly and improve system reliability.
