User manual SMC FXST V.2

[. . . ] This Converter is equipped with an RJ-45 port and a fiber optic ST or SC or WDM port. This allows it to quickly integrate a 10/100Base-TX network into a 100Base-FX (fiber) network. It features DIP switches for manual half or full duplex mode configuration on both copper and fiber ports. In full duplex mode, this Converter has the ability to support distances of up to 2 kilometers for multi-mode fiber and up to 60 kilometers for long-haul single mode fiber between a LAN switch, file server or another networking device.

The program will send a testing message looped in the copper segment, and display a pass/fail result NOTE: On a PC, use a program such as Sniffer to conduct the tests. If you do not have access to either method, please contact your vendor for advice. Install the converter This Converter utilizes ports with fiber and copper port connectors functioning under Ethernet and/or Fast Ethernet protocols. Remote Loopback 1. Test Condition setup ­ In order for the function to produce an accurate result, set switches according to the table below: Test Condition 10/100BASE-TX Port The 10/100BASE-TX port supports network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can operate in half- and full duplex transfer modes. This port also offers automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection that gives true "plug and play" capability - just plug-in the network cable to the port and the port will adjust according to end node device automatically. The RJ-45 connector is suitable for UTP cable Category 3, 4, 5 or better. English English DIP Switches Converter A Converter B 1 OFF OFF 2 FD FD 3 100 100 4 FD FD 5 OFF OFF 6 OFF OFF 7 OFF ON 2. Launch a loopback or diagnostics testing program and follow the instructions given. Enter the number of test messages (frame packets) to be sent (Between 1 ­ 1000) b. The program will send a testing message looped in the fiber segment, and display a pass/fail result 100BASE-FX Port The 100BASE-FX port adds a fiber Fast Ethernet link to your network device. Compliant with IEEE 802. 3u, this port can transmits data at 100Mbps in full duplex mode across distances of up to 2km over multi-mode fiber-optic cable. The fiber port has a choice of three fiber connector types: ST, SC and WDM. ! 11 Warning Be sure to deactivate both local and remote both loopback test functions for normal converter operations 12 Desktop Installation Follow the instructions listed below to install the Converter onto a desktop location. Locate the Converter in a clean, flat and safe position that has easy access to AC power. Affix the four (4) self-adhesive rubber pads to the underside of the Converter. Connect cables from the network partner devices to the ports on the front panel. (The green LNK LED on the front panel associated with the port should light). Getting Connected Powering On Unit The Converter uses an AC power supply 100~240V AC, 50~60 Hz. The Converter's power supply automatically self-adjusts to the local power source and may be powered on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected. Insert the power cable plug directly into the receptacle located at the back of the device. Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC power adapter cord. You must use a power cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type and electrical current in your country. This Converter can also be mounted on a vertical surface. Simply use the underside of the unit as a template to measure and mark out the position of the holes on to the surface where the unit is to be installed. Then use two screws to mount the converter firmly in place. English English 2. Insert one end of a Category 3/4/5/5e type twisted pair cable into an available RJ-45 port on the Converter and the other end into the port of the network node.
