INTRODUCTION
The TRANSITION Networks METTF10xx (Ethernet
™
) and MFETF10xx (Fast
Ethernet
™
) series Multichannel Media Converters connect twisted-pair
copper cable to fiber-optic cable in separate copper-to-fiber media
converter pairs, called channels. The network administrator can select a
Multichannel Media Converter that provides up to six (6) or up to twelve
(12) channels, with either 10BASE-T/10BASE-FL or 100BASE-TX
/100BASE-FX connections and with either ST or SC fiber connectors.
The Multichannel Media Converter can be installed as a standalone unit
or in a standard rack and can be managed at an attached terminal or using
an SNMP application at a remote Network Management Station. Full-
duplex or half-duplex network operation, for each channel, is switch-
selectable or software-selectable.
