AT-MC101XL, AT-MC102XL, AT-MC103XL AT-MC103LH Fast Ethernet Media Converters The AT-MC101XL and AT-MC102XL convert IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX multimode Fast Ethernet network connections. The AT-MC103XL and AT-MC103LH convert to FX single mode. The 100Base-FX interfaces are available in ST or SC connectors for multimode fiber cabling. For single mode cabling, the 100Base-FX is available in SC connectors only. The 100Base-TX interface uses an RJ45 shielded connector.

Installation Guide LEDs The PWR LED in the upper right corner of the front panel lights when the media converter is receiving power. Status LEDs are located on the front panel next to each port and described in Table 1. Table 1 LEDs LED Color State Description PWR Green ON Power is applied. NML Green ON Unit is operating in normal mode. OFF Unit is in Link Test mode. REC Green ON Data is being received on the port. LNK Green ON Link established on the port.
Auto-Negotiation The 100Base-TX ports participate in IEEE 802.3u Standard auto-negotiation with its local link partner. Note End stations used with the media converter must operate in the same duplex mode (either both full-duplex or both half-duplex). Note The media converters have an additional feature, allowing the unit to operate in 100 Mbps half-duplex mode.
Installation Guide Package Contents Make sure the media converter package contains the following items: ❑ AT-MC101XL, AT-MC102XL, AT-MC103XL, or AT-MC103LH Fast Ethernet Media Converter ❑ Four Protective Feet (for standalone use only) ❑ External AC-DC Power Adapter ❑ This Installation Guide Contact your sales representative if any items are missing or damaged. Installing the Media Converter Read the warnings below before beginning any installation.
4. Verify that the PWR LED lights green. 5. Set the unit in Link Test mode 6. Remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors. 7. Plug the appropriate fiber cable into the connector. See Table 3 for IEEE 802.3u cabling specifications 8. Connect the other end of the fiber cable to the desired end station. Verify that the link LED is ON. 9. If you are making a direct connection to a workstation using straightthrough cable, set the MDI/MDI-X switch to the MDI-X position. (MDI-X is the default position.
Installation Guide Note The media converters have an additional feature, allowing the unit to operate in 100 Mbps half-duplex mode. Certain applications require this mode, for example, two media converters installed in a back-to-back configuration (fiber-to-fiber) which are attached to unmanaged repeaters and/or switches that auto-negotiates with the other. Forinstructions on how to set up the media converter for this application, contact Allied Telesyn Technical Support.

Installation Guide Troubleshooting To troubleshoot your media converter, perform the following: 1. Set the unit in the Link Test mode. 2. End stations used with the media converter must operate in the same duplex mode (either both full-duplex or both half-duplex). 3. Verify that the twisted pair cable is Category 5. 4. Verify that proper fiber cable is being used: multimode for the AT-MC101XL and AT-MC102XL, and single mode for the AT-MC103XL and AT-MC103LH.
