10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter 2 Installation To install your converter, please see the following procedures: • • • MDI / MDI-X Connection Switch Settings Network Setup With Converter MDI / MDI-X Connection The auto-MDI function alleviates the worry of cable type configuration when connecting the converter to a 10/100Base-TX device. The converter will automatically detect the connection information and establish the optimum setting.
10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter Switch Setting DIP 1 – Enables / disables auto-negotiation DIP 2 – Copper port (RJ45) duplex mode: full or half –duplex DIP 3 – Copper port (RJ45) data bit rate: 10Mbps or 100Mbps DIP 4 – Fiber port duplex mode: full-duplex or half-duplex DIP 5 – Enables / disables Link Fault Signaling (LFS) DIP 6 – Enables / disables Local Loop Back (LL BK) DIP 7 – Enables / disables Remote Loop Back (RLBK) Important: In order to configure switches 2, 3 and 4, switch 1 (autonegotiati
10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter Link Fault Signaling (LFS) 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. To fully appreciate the benefits of LFS, Four converters can be used to build a primary and a secondary link. They must be connected to a switch that supports Spanning Tree or Fast Spanning Tree protocals. By default, transmission of data will travel via the primary link.
/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter Loopback Test This converter features dip switches to activate local and remote loopback test functions. 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.
10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter Network Setup With Converter To effectively expanding a Fast Ethernet network, position two converters back-to-back as illustrated.

10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter Appendix B Converter Mounting This converter can be placed in any location that will make its installation convenient. If you place the converter on a horizontal surface or on top of existing networking equipment, please affix the four rubber pads included in the package. This converter can also be mounted on a vertical surface.
10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter Appendix C Cables The following are some recommendations as to what you should and should not do when installing cables. Remember - cables are the deciding factor in network performance. m 24m 6mm Try to maintain a bend radius of (min.) 4x the diameter of the cable for UTP and 100x for fiber. Place cable ties at regular intervals - do not over tighten cable ties - try to avoid using with fiber.
