The MC100FX-SC2-A media converter comes with a built-in multimode fiber transceiver module with SC connector that can be used for distances of up to 2km. The MC100FX-SC30-A media converter comes with a built-in single-mode fiber transceiver module with SC connector that can be used for distances of up to 30km. Use the LEDs to quickly check the status and the DIP switches to set the transmission settings and Link Fault Signaling. 1 MC100FX-SC2/30-A User's Guide Key Features Each media converter has the following key features: · Automatic MDI/MDI-X selection on RJ-45 port · Link Fault Signaling · Store-and-forward at full-wire speed · Auto-negotiation, NWay support · Half / Full duplex mode selection · Remote and local Loop-back Testing via DIP switch · Extends distances to up to 2km (6600 feet) with multi-mode fiber and up to 30km (99000 feet) with long-haul single-mode fiber · Compatible with other 10Base-T & 100Base-TX /FX devices · FCC Class A & CE approved 2 MC100FX-SC2/30-A User's Guide Chapter 2 Applications To effectively expand a Fast Ethernet network, position two converters back-to-back as illustrated. Application Diagram I In the next figure, the converter is functioning as a high-speed bridge between switches, creating increased capacity for each user (node) on the local area network. Switch CONVERTER CONVERTER Switch Multi-mode 2Km Single Mode 30Km Application Diagram II In the next figure, the converter is functioning as a server aggregation for an enterprise configuration. It is providing a 100Mbps full-duplex link to workgroups of 10/100 switches located on separate floors within a single building.

Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the device. Do not place heavy objects on the media converter. Front Panel The front panel consists of an RJ-45 port for 100 Mbps UTP connections, LED indicators, and a built-in fiber transceiver with SC connector. MC100FX-SC2-A MC100FX-SC30-A 5 MC100FX-SC2/30-A User's Guide 100Base-TX port The 10/100BASE-TX port supports network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can operate in half- and full-duplex transfer modes. This port also offers automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection that gives the device true "plug-n-play" capability ­ just plug the network cable into the port and the port will adjust according to the end-node device automatically. The RJ-45 connector is suitable for UTP cable of Category 3, 4, 5 or better. 100Base-FX port The 100BASE-FX port has a fiber Fast Ethernet link to your network device. Compliant with IEEE 802. 3u, this port can transmits data at 100Mbps in full duplex mode across distances of up to 2km over multi-mode fiber-optic cable, and 30km over single-mode fiber-optic cable. The fiber port has SC fiber connectors. LED Indicators This Converter has LED indicators located at the front of the device. The LEDs have been designed to give at-a-glance readings of different conditions and provides `real-time' connectivity information. Below is an interpretation of their functions: Port and Unit LEDs LED 100 Off On (Green) LNK/ACT Flashing (Green) Off On (Amber) FDX/COL Flashing (Amber) Off On (Green) PWR Off LFS On (Red) Off Power off or failure Disruption of connection in copper or fiber segment Copper / fiber segment is normal Condition On (Green) The port The port is Status is operating at 100Mbps operating at 10Mbps Illuminated when connectors are attached Data traffic passing through port No valid link established on port Port is operating at full-duplex Indicates collisions Port is operating at half-duplex converter is receiving power 6 MC100FX-SC2/30-A User's Guide Link Fault Signaling LFS is a function that is extremely beneficial in terms of network status monitoring. The LFS LED will immediately light to indicate when a cable has been severed or when some other cause of disruption in service has occurred. The LFS function monitors both copper and fiber segments giving a total connection status report. Set LFS to OFF position when installing cables or when testing the network connection. Therefore, when disruption occurs on either segment, the LFS feature will be activated and the LED will light to indicate that the entire connection is down. Rear Panel The rear panel contains a power port, a power LED, and DIP Switches. Connect the included power adapter (12V DC voltage with minimum 0. 8A current) to the port labeled 12VDC 800mA and connect the power adaptor to a power supply (outlet).

Use local loop-back to check if the copper segment is connected properly, and use remote loop-back to check if the fiber segment is connected properly. [. . . ] Check that the Ethernet device supports auto-negotiation at half/full duplex and 100MBps speed. If Link Fault Signaling is enabled (DIP switch 5 is on), then check if the fiber link is down (thereby forcing the Ethernet link down). The FDX/COL (Ethernet) LED is off The RJ-45 port is operating in half-duplex mode or the Ethernet link is down. See above for possible causes and remedies. 13 MC100FX-SC2/30-A User's Guide PROBLEM The LNK/ACT (Fiber) LED is off POSSIBLE CAUSES AND REMEDIES Check the fiber cable connection between the media converter and the remote device.
