1 INTRODUCTION
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Enhanced 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX
Media Converter. This device integrates copper and multi-mode/single
mode fiber networks in one flexible package.
Purpose
This guide discusses how to setup and install your Enhanced
10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter.
Terms/Usage
In this guide, the term "Converter" (first letter upper case) refers to
your Enhanced 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter, and
"converter" (first letter lower case) refers to other converters.

2 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
The Converter is enhanced with Link Fault Signaling (LFS) and
Loopback Test (LBK) functions to offer the most comprehensive
network status monitoring and connection diagnostics. It is designed
for large workgroups who demand higher speed and wider bandwidth.
It allows migration and expansion from a copper-based Ethernet to a
fiber optic Fast Ethernet.
It features automatic MDI detection setting. This function allows for
simple direct connection to a workstation, switch or hub. Therefore,
network managers no longer need to worry about cable type
configuration when establishing a connection between RJ-45 ports.
This Converter is equipped with an RJ-45 port and a fiber optic ST or
SC or WDM port. This allows it to quickly integrate a 10/100Base-TX
network into a 100Base-FX (fiber) network.
It features DIP switches for manual half or full duplex mode
configuration on both copper and fiber ports. In full duplex mode,
this Converter has the ability to support distances of up to
2 kilometers for multi-mode fiber and up to 60 kilometers for
long-haul single mode fiber between a LAN switch, file server or
another networking device.

3 INSTALLATION
To install your Converter, please see the following procedures:
• Location
• Switch Settings
• NWay settings
• Link Fault Signaling
• Loopback Test
• Install the Converter
Location
The location selected to install the Converter may greatly affect its
performance. When selecting a site, we recommend considering the
following rules:
• Install the Converter in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical
Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity
operating ranges.
• Install the Converter in a location free from strong
electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration,
dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
• Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the unit
for ventilation.
• Affix the provided rubber pads to the bottom of the Converter to
protect the case from scratching.
