Product Overview
The Half-Duplex to Full-Duplex Converter can be used in conjunction with full-duplex
switches to provide 10/100 Mb half-duplex connections to older Ethernet devices.
Device Utilization
Many high speed switches today do not support half-duplex connections that
some older Ethernet devices only support. This converter enables those older half
duplex devices to be connected to modern high speed switches that only support
full duplex.
The Converter has four half-duplex user ports that support 10/100 half-duplex
connections and four 10/100/1000 full-duplex ports for connecting to the
modern switch. All buering and speed/duplex conversion is handled by the
external converter.
The Converter is an unmanaged device. It does not have a console port nor can
it be managed via any of its Ethernet ports. As an unmanaged device, network
collisions and other half-duplex statistics on the half duplex ports are not reported
to the full duplex switch ports. So network monitoring of the half-duplex ports is
not supported.
The converter is powered via a small external power brick. There is one power brick
for the North American market (NEMA 1-15P) and another power brick for the rest
of the world (CEE 7/1). Therefore there are two dierent ordering numbers.
NOTE: the Half-Duplex to Full-Duplex Converter is not certified for sale in the following countries:
China, Taiwan, Korea, Brazil, or Russia.
