AT-MC104XL and AT-MC104LH Media Converters The AT-MC104XL and AT-MC104LH (Long Haul) are 100Base-FX media converters that convert 100Base-FX multimode (MMF) to 100Base-FX single mode (SMF). The converters feature SC connectors and come with an external 12 V DC power adapter to supply power. See Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Key Features The converters have the following key features: ❑ LEDs for unit and port status ❑ NML/LNK TST (Normal/Link Test) switch ❑ Full duplex transparent operation ❑ MissingLink feature provides link fault detection on the 100Base-FX segments ❑ Low power consumption ❑ Minimal delay for optimum performance ❑ Fast data conversion ❑ Polyswitched fuse protection ❑ External AC-DC Power Adapter ❑ Standard size for use with AT-MCR12 rack-mount chassis.
AT-MC104XL and AT-MC104LH Installation Guide NML/LNK TST Switch The NML/LNK TST (Normal/Link Test) switch, located on the front panel, establishes a fiber/fiber link in the test position. The default position of the switch is IN, which is the normal (NML) operating mode and enables the MissingLink feature. With the switch in the OUT or Link Test mode (LNK TST) position, the MissingLink feature is disabled and the optical transmitter TX is forced on.

AT-MC104XL and AT-MC104LH Installation Guide 4. Verify that the PWR LED lights green. 5. Set the NML/LNK TST switch to LNK TST (OUT position). 6. Remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors. 7. Plug the SMF cable into the connector. See Table 3 on page 9 for cabling specifications. Note End stations used with the media converter must operate in the same duplex mode (either both full-duplex or both half-duplex). 8. Connect the other end of the fiber cable to the desired end station.

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 proper fiber cable is being used (See Table 3 on page 9). 4. Verify that the near end node transmitter (TX) is connected to the far end node receiver (RX) and vice versa on each fiber segment.
