Instruction manual

20 MULTILINK ML2400 ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
MULTILINK MC-E10 & MC-E100 CONVERTER SWITCH
Note
The use of either multi-mode or single-mode fiber to operate at 100Mbps speed over long
distances (i.e., over approx. 400 meters) can be achieved
only if the following factors are both
applied:
• The 100Mb fiber segment must operate in full-duplex (FDX) mode, and
• The worst-case OPB of the fiber link must be greater than the fiber cable’s passive
Attenuation.
(Attenuation = Cable loss + LED aging loss + Insertion loss + safety factor)
4.8.0.7 Connections to NICs which support Auto-Negotiation, RJ-45 ports
The copper ports of Multilink MC-E10 &E100 Converters will function properly with NICs
(Network Interface Cards) which support Auto-Negotiation, and the Fast Link Pulse (FLP)
coding for the 100BASE-TX signaling system. When connecting a NIC to the Multilink MC-
E10-Sereis, it may be necessary to reload the NIC drivers on the user device if the NIC has
been communicating with a protocol other than 100BASE-TX (such as 10BASE-T). When
100Mb operation is agreed and in use, the 10/100 LED is illuminated steady ON and is
OFF, if 10 Mbps traffic.
