One-Channel Media Converter

Ports

The Converter provides one TX port and one FX/BX port. For the FX/BX port, it provides options of

Multi-mode fiber using SC connector or

Single-mode fiber using SC connector or

Multi-mode/ Single-mode WDM fiber using single SC connector

For the TX port, it uses RJ-45 connector and auto senses the speed of

10/100Mbps.

Port Settings

Port settings are made very simple by means of a DIP (Dual Inline

Package) switch at the rear panel of the module.

DIP switch

There are six pins on the DIP switch for port settings. Refer to the table below for more details.

FX port forced to half duplex mode

 First, disconnect the converter from the power. Then toggle Pin 2 of the DIP switch to the up position to enable the forced mode for TX port.

<NOTE> Pin 2 must be toggled up prior to speed and duplex mode settings manually.

 Toggle down Pin 3 to force the TX port at the speed of 100Mbps. Or toggle up Pin 3 for 10Mbps speed.

 Toggle down Pin 4 to force the TX port at full duplex mode. Or toggle up Pin 4 for half duplex mode.

 Toggle down Pin 5 to force the FX port at full duplex mode. Or toggle up Pin 5 for half duplex mode.

 Toggle up Pin 1 to disable the link-fault-pass-through.

 Connect the converter to the power again. The new setting will come into effect then.

LED Indicators

The LED indicators give you instant feedback on status of the converter:

LNK stands for LINK

Flashing Transmitting or receiving data

ACT stands for ACTIVITY

Off Neither valid network connection established nor transmitting/receiving data

Steady Connection in full-duplex mode

FDX stands for FULL-DUPLEX

Off

COL stands for COLLISION

Connection in half-duplex mode

Link-Fault-Pass-Through

Connect the FX ports of two Media Converters A and B through the fiber cable.

Link Fault of the FX port:

A Link Fault condition will be sensed on the TX port whenever the media converter detects a Link Fault condition on the FX port. Thus, the 100,

LNK/ACT, and FDX/COL LEDs of the media converter would be off.

Link Fault of the TX port of the Media Converter A:

The Media Converter A: A Link Fault condition will be sensed on the FX port whenever the media converter detects a Link Fault condition on the

TX port. Thus, the 100, LNK/ACT, and FDX/COL LEDs of the TX port of the Media Converter A would be off.

The Media Converter B: A Link Fault condition will be informed to the FX port of the Media Converter B. Then a Link Fault condition will be sensed on the TX port of the Media Converter B whenever the Media Converter B

XSNet 3100MC detects a Link Fault condition on the FX port. Thus, the 100, LNK/ACT, and

FDX/COL LEDs of the Media Converter B would be off.

Installation

This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Converter.

Selecting a Site for the Equipment

As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements:



The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 113 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 45 degrees

Celsius).



The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.



Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for

IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.



Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the equipment.



The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.

Connecting to Power

 This Converter is a plug-and-play device.

 Connect the supplied AC to DC power adaptor to the receptacle on the rear panel of the converter, and then attach the plug into a standard AC outlet.
