AT-MC100 Series Installation Guide Status LEDs Table 2 defines the media converter’s LEDs. Table 2 Status LEDs LED State Color Description PWR ON Green Power is applied to the media converter. LNK ON Green A link has been established on the port. ACT ON Green Data is being received on the port. FDX ON Green The port is operating in full-duplex mode. OFF M/L ON ON OFF The port is operating in half-duplex mode. Green The MissingLink feature is activated on the media converter.
Overview Link Test/MissingLink Button The Link Test/MissingLink button allows you to perform a link test on the ports on the media converter. This button also allows you to activate the MissingLink feature on the unit. Both features are describe in the following section. Note After using the Link Test/MissingLink button to select between the two settings, you must reset the media converter by powering OFF then powering ON the unit Link Test.
AT-MC100 Series Installation Guide The value to this type of network monitoring and fault notification is that some hubs and switches can be configured to take a specific action in the event of the loss of connection on a port. In some cases, the unit can be configured to seek a redundant path to a disconnected node or send out a trap to a network management station, and so alert the network administrator of the problem.
Overview There is one situation where it may be necessary to disable the autonegotiation feature, and that is to prevent a mismatch from occurring between the duplex modes of the end-nodes. For example, Figure 2 shows two units that have been connected with a media converter. Unit 1 is a repeater that is capable of operating in half-duplex mode only. Unit 2 is a switch that can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode, and will auto-negotiation the duplex mode.
AT-MC100 Series Installation Guide Network Topologies The AT-MC100 Series Media Converters can be used in two different types of topologies: standalone and back-to-back. Both topologies are described below. Standalone Topology Figure 3 illustrates a standalone topology where two AT-8224XL switches have been interconnected with an AT-MC102XL media converter.
Overview Back-to-Back Topology Figure 4 illustrates two media converters in a back-to-back configuration.

Installing the Media Converter Caution All Countries: Install this product in accordance with local and National Electric Codes. ! 12 Installing the Media Converter The following procedure explains how to install an AT-MC100 Series Media Converter. To install the media converter, perform the following procedure: 1. Remove all equipment from the package and store the packaging material in a safe place.
AT-MC100 Series Installation Guide 5. Set the Link Test/MissingLink button to LNK TST (OUT) position. 6. Set the auto-negotiation feature as follows: 7. ❑ If both end-nodes will use auto-negotiation to determine the duplex mode, or if both are pre-set to operate with the same duplex mode, such as half-duplex, set the switch to the A/N ON (IN) position. This is the default setting.
Installing the Media Converter 11. Set the MDI/MDI-X button as follows: ❑ If you are connecting a workstation to the 100Base-TX port, set the MDI/MDI-X button to the MDI-X (OUT) position. MDI-X is the default position. ❑ If you are connecting a hub or a switch to the 100Base-TX port, set the MDI/MDI-X switch to the MDI (IN) position. Note After a using the MDI/MDI-X button to change between the two settings, you must reset the media converter by powering OFF then powering ON the unit. 12.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Guidelines Follow the guidelines below to test and troubleshoot the installation in the event a problem occurs. If the PWR LED is OFF, do the following: ❑ If the unit is installed on a desktop, check to be sure that the power adapter is securely connected to a power outlet and that the power adapter cable is securely connected to the back of the media converter. ❑ If the unit is installed in an AT-MCR12 chassis, check that the unit is fully seated in the slot.
Troubleshooting If the LNK LED for the fiber optic port is OFF, do the following: ❑ Verify that then end-node connected to the port is ON and is operating properly. ❑ Check that the fiber optic cable is securely connected to the fiber optic port on the media converter and on the end-node. ❑ Verify that the end-nodes connected to the media converter are operating at the same speed. Both must be operating at 100 Mbps.
AT-MC100 Series Installation Guide Loopback Test To check hardware reliability of the media converter, perform the following procedure: 1. Power OFF the media converter by unplugging the power adapter from the wall outlet and from the back of the unit. 2. Connect the RJ-45 twisted pair port to a 100Base port on the end-node and power ON the end-node. 3.
