Twisted Pair Crossover / Straight-Through Connections 

AutoCross 

McLIM TP-TX/FX includes AutoCross, a feature which automatically selects between a 
crossover workstation or straight-through connection depending on the connected 
device. 

Installing Media Conversion Modules 

You can install media conversion modules in any available slot in a MediaConverter 
chassis.  Media conversion modules are hot-swappable. 

Media conversion modules ship from the factory with brackets for securing them to 
the MediaConverter chassis.  To install a module, simply unscrew the blank bracket 
covering the slot where you will install the module.  Slide the module into the chassis, 
via the card guides, until the module is seated securely in the connector, screw in the 
bracket supplied with the module, then connect the cables. 

 

Note 

MediaConverter chassis ship from the factory with all but one media conversion module slot 
covered with “blank” brackets.  Be sure to keep unused slots covered for EMI containment.  
IMC Networks recommends saving any “blanks” removed during installation for future use if 
configuration requirements change.
