Chapter 1 OVERVIEW Thank you for choosing the Smart 10/100Base-TX to 100BaseFX Media Converter, The Media Converter introduced here provides one channel media conversion between 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX. About the Redundant Media Converter The FT-1105A and FT-1205A are 3-Port Redundant Media Converters which support conversion between 10/100BaseTX and 100Base-FX network.
network. The SFP slot supports single-mode, multi-mode and WDM small-form factory type transceiver modules for your needs. With 100Base-FX SFP ports, the FT-1105A and FT-1205A are with high reliability and flexibility to extend the distance up to 2Km, 20Km, or longer. It depends on the 100Base-FX SFP transceiver modules. Ethernet signal that allows two type segments connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively.

Chapter 5 DIP SWITCH There is a DIP switch for the setting on converter mode of copper and fiber port. Refer to the table below for more details. FT-1105A Switch 1 Switch 2 On 2-Port Redundant (TP) Off 3-Port Switch (default) On LBR ON Off LBR OFF (default) 2-Port Redundant (FT-1105A) When TP Redundancy is enabled, TP Port-2 and TP Port-3 are configured as either forwarding or disabled. At any given time, one port will be disabled and one port will be forwarding.
FT-1205A Switch 1 Switch 2 On 2-Port Redundant (Fiber) Off 3-Port Switch (default) On LBR ON Off LBR OFF (default) 2-Port Redundant (FT-1205A) When Fiber Redundancy is enabled, Fiber Port-1 (1) and Fiber Port-2 (2) are configured as either forwarding or disabled. At any given time, one port will be disabled and one port will be forwarding. 3-Port Switch When Fiber Redundancy is disabled, all ports (Port-1, Port-2 and Port-3) act as normal bridging ports.
Chapter 6 INSTALLING THE CONVERTER 6.1 Stand-alone Installation FT-1105A / FT-1205A is with high reliability and flexibility to extend the distance up to 2Km, 20Km, or longer. It depends on the 100Base-FX SFP transceiver modules. The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug-in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port without having to power down the converter.
Note It recommends using PLANET MFB-FX series 100Base-FX SFP on the converter. If you insert a SFP transceiver that is not supported, the converter will not recognize it. Step 4: Connect the fiber cable. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable into the SFP transceiver. Step 5: Attach fiber cable from the FT-1105A/FT-1205A to the fiber network. TX, RX must be paired at both ends. Step 6: Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the FT-1105A/FT1205A and verify that the Power LED lights up.
Step 2: Carefully slide in the module until it is fully and firmly fitted into the slot of the chassis. Figure 2-1: Insert a media converter into an available slot Step 3: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Chassis with supplied screws attached to the package. Step 4: After the brackets are attached to the chassis, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 2-2. Step 5: Proceed with the steps 4 and steps 5 of session 6.
Chapter 7 Redundancy The FT-1105A / FT-1205A provide less than 10ms link redundancy for highly critical Ethernet applications. The redundant-mode supports auto-recover function. If the destination port of a packet is link down, it forwards the packet to the other port of the backup pair. The following figure shows the redundant function.
Chapter 8 Loop Back Reply The FT-1105A / FT-1205A supports auto loop back reply while receive loop back test packets on fiber port. Enable this function to tell the converter to reply fiber signals request from Web Smart media converter, such as PLANET FT-90x. You can use this to check whether the converter can communicate with partner converter. Please refer to the following figure. Note 18 For FT-1105A only, while enable the Loop Back Reply function, the Port-2 (TP) must be link up.
Chapter 9 LED INDICATORS The LED indicators give you instant feedback on status of the converter: System LED Color Function PWR Green Lit: Power on. FT-1105A / FT-1205A -10/100Base-TX Port LED LNK/ ACT 100 Color Green Function Lit: Indicate that the port is link up. Blink: Indicate that the converter is actively sending or receiving data over that port. Off: Indicate that the port is link down. Lit: Indicate that the port is operating at 100Mbps.
LED LNK/ ACT FDX/ COL Color Green Function Lit: Indicate that the port is link up. Blink: Indicate that the converter is actively sending or receiving data over that port.
