1. Introduction
1.1 Checklist
Check the contents of your package for following parts:
MCR300-1T-2S
User's Manual x 1
5V / 2.5A AC-DC Power Adapter x 1
If any of these pieces are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer immediately, if possible, retain the carton including the
original packing material, and use them against to repack the product in case there is a need to return it to us for repair.
MCR300-1T-2S is with two vacant SFP module slots. The 1000Base-X SFP module is
not bundled with in the package
1.2 Product Description
The MCR300-1T-2S is 3-Port Gigabit, one TP and dual SFP Media Converter which supports conversion between
10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX/LX network, which is SFP connector with single-mode or multi-mode media as required. The
Ethernet signal allows different types of SFP transceiver to connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively.
The MCR300-1T-2S Gigabit Media Converter can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to the IFS Media Converter
Chassis (
MCR300
rack chassis). This media chassis can assist in providing DC power for MCR300-1T-2S Gigabit Media Converter to
maintain the fiber-optic network at one centralized location. With the 3-Port Switch mode, they work in high performance Store and
Forward mechanism, and can prevent packet loss with IEEE 802.3x Flow Control (Full-Duplex) and Back Pressure (Half-Duplex).
Via the build-in DIP-switch, the MCR300-1T-2S can be configured as 3-Port Ethernet switch or 2-Port Redundant media converter.
With the 3-Port Switch mode, it can operate Store-and-Forward mechanism with high performance, with the 2-Port redundant mode,
it provides redundancy of link for highly critical Ethernet applications. The redundant-mode supports auto-recover function. If the
destination port of a packet is link down, it forwards the packet to the other port of the backup pair
.
As the MCR300-1T-2S Media Converter fully complies with IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX, IEEE 802.3ab
1000Base-T and IEEE 802.3z 1000Base-LX / SX, the Gigabit media conversion installation is quite quick and easy by simple plugging
and playing feature.
With 1000Base-SX / LX SFP ports, the MCR300-1T-2S is with high reliability and flexibility to extend the distance up to 550m, 10km,
or longer. It depends on the 1000Base-SX / LX SFP transceiver modules.
