features
an 8-position DIP switch for configuring the unit.
This switch is accessed through a cut-out in the
bottom of the unit. After configuring the switch,
power down the unit and then power up again for
the DIP switch changes to take effect. The follow-

10/100 Autosensing Media Converter
Modes of Operation
The
10/100 Autosensing Media Converter
features three “modes” of
operation:
Auto-Negotiation/PNP mode
,
Force 10 mode
and
Force 100
mode
. Your media converter should be configured for one of these modes
(factory default is
AN/PNP
mode). For information on
Link Fault Detection,
refer to pages 3-5.
•
Auto-Negotiation mode
, also known as
PNP
, is the mode most ideally
suited for the
10/100 Autosensing Media Converter
. In this mode, the
converter will optimally and automatically configure for speed (10 or
100 Mbps) depending on the capabilities of the end stations.
To enable
Auto-Negotiation
/
PNP
mode, set switch
S6
to the
ON
position, with switches
S7
and
S8
in the
OFF
position.
• In
Force 10 mode
, the media converter converts 10Base-T to
10Base-FL; 100 Mbps signals are not accepted.
To enable
Force 10
mode, set switch
S7
and
S8
to the
ON
position, with switch
S6
in the
OFF
position.

10/100 Autosensing Media Converter
cannot be manually set for Half- or Full-Duplex.
Duplex is determined by the devices to which your media converter is connected.
4) Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective
dust caps.
5) If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between
blasting with clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove
particles of dirt

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which the user
will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
The use of non-shielded I/O cables may not guarantee compliance with FCC RFI limits.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the
Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils
numériques de classe B prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des
Communications du Canada.
