Enabling Auto Negotiation 

Configure Auto Negotiation on the McPC 100Mbps by adjusting a two-position 
switch, labeled 

AN

, on the faceplate next to the fiber connectors.  Enable this feature 

by moving the switch to the up 

ON

 position.  Disable (default) by moving the switch 

to the down 

OFF

 position. 

LED Indicators 

The McPC 100Mbps features four diagnostic LEDs.  These LED functions include the 
following: 
 

FX RCV 

Blinks yellow when the McPC 100Mbps is receiving data 

TX LNK 

Glows green when a twisted pair link is established 

FA 

Glows green when FiberALert is enabled 

FX LNK 

Glows green when a fiber link is established 

 

 

 

LinkLoss and FiberAlert  

The McPC 100Mbps includes the troubleshooting features FiberAlert, TXLL, and FXLL 
that help locate 

silent failures

 on a network.  Before attempting to install the 

module(s), understand how these features work and react to specific network 
configurations.   
 

WARNING  

Installing modules without understanding the effects of LinkLoss and FiberAlert can cause 

functioning units to appear flawed or even nonfunctional. 

Link Integrity 

During normal operation, link integrity pulses are transmitted by all point-to-point 
Ethernet devices.  When an IMC Networks media converter receives valid link pulses, 
it knows that the device to which it is connected is up and sending pulses, and that 
the copper or fiber cable coming from that device is intact.  The appropriate “LNK” 
(link) LED is lit to indicate this.
