Making Network Connections
The converters serve as a conversion path between two Fast Eth-
ernet devices. To both devices, the conversion is transparent. The
connection could be one of the following configurations:
Important rule: When a connection is established, make sure
the devices located at both ends of the path are configured and
operated using the same duplex mode and the maximum distance
must comply with IEEE 802.3u specifications.
The following figure illustrates a connection example between two
auto-negotiation devices. Both devices operate in full-duplex mode
after a negotiation process with the converters.
