AT-MC100 Series Installation Guide Status LEDs Table 2 defines the system LEDs. Table 2 Status LEDs LED State Color LNK ON Green A link has been established on the port. ACT ON Green Data is being received on the port. FDX ON Green Indicates that the unit is operating in full-duplex mode. OFF Description Indicates that the unit is operating in half-duplex mode. PWR ON Green Power is applied. M/L ON ON Green The MissingLink feature is activated on the media converter.
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. Link Test. The link test is a fast and easy way for you to test the connections between the ports on the media converter and the nodes that are connected to the ports.
AT-MC100 Series Installation Guide Auto-negotiation Button The auto-negotiation button, located on the front panel, disables the autonegotiation feature (IEEE 802.3u) of the media converter. The media converter uses auto-negotiation to determine the duplex mode of the ports. The duplex mode refers to the manner in which a node sends and receives data on the network. Depending on its capabilities, a node can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode.
You can resolve the mismatch in one of two ways: ❑ Manually configure Unit 2, if possible, so that the port connected to the media converter is set to half-duplex. ❑ Disable auto-negotiation on the media converter using the autonegotiation button. With auto-negotiation on the media converter disabled, Unit 2 will assume that the converter is capable of only halfduplex operation, thus eliminating the mismatch in duplex modes between the end stations.
AT-MC100 Series Installation Guide Network Topologies Figure 4 shows a network configuration where two AT-8224XL switches have been interconnected with an AT-MC102XL Media Converter.
Installing the Media Converter The following section explain how to install the media converter. The media converter can be installed either as a standalone unit (such as on a table) or in an AT-MCR12 chassis or in an AT-TRAY4 tray. Planning the Installation Be sure to observe the following guidelines when planning the installation of your media converter. ❑ The nodes connected to the media converter must operate at 100 Mbps.

Verifying the Package Contents Make sure the following items are included in your media converter package. If any of the following items are missing or damaged, contact your sales representative. ❑ One AT-MC100 Series Fast Ethernet Media Converter ❑ Four protective feet (for standalone use only) ❑ External AC/DC power adapter ❑ This installation guide ❑ Warranty card Reviewing Safety Precautions Please review the following safety precautions before you begin to install the media converter.
AT-MC100 Series Installation Guide Installing the Media Converter The following procedure explains how to install the media converter as a standalone unit. If you are building a back-to-back installation, please review the following. See Figure 5 for an illustration of a back-to-back-media converter configuration. ❑ During installation, setup, and testing of back-to-back media converters, make sure each media converters Link Test/MissingLink button is in the LNK TST (OUT) position.
6. Plug the AC/DC power adapter into an appropriate AC power outlet and insert the power plug into the DC receptacle located on the rear panel. (This step does not apply if you installed the unit in an AT-MCR12 chassis.) 12 V D C Figure 6 12 V DC Connector on Rear Panel 7. Verify that the Power LED is green. 8. Remove the dust cover from the fiber optic connector. 9. Connect the fiber optic cable to the fiber optic port on the media converter. 10.

Connect a Category 5 or better twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 connector. Connect the other end of the twisted pair cable to the desired end station.
2. Turn ON the nodes (such as the hubs or switches) that are connected to the media converter. 3. Set the Link Test/MissingLink button on the media converter to the LNK TST (IN) position. 4. Check the two LNK LEDs. They should be green, indicating that the media converter is receiving a signal from the nodes connected to the ports. If the LNK LED is not green, check the following: — The node connected to the port is powered ON. — The fiber optic cable is securely connected to the fiber optic port.
