OVERVIEW

Thank you for choosing the Smart 10/100TX to 100FX Media

Converter, The Media Converter introduced here provides one

channel media conversion between 10/100TX and 100FX.

About Media Converter

The Smart Media Converter utililizes a network technology

specied by IEEE802.3 10Base-T, IEEE802.3u 100Base-TX,

100Base-FX standards.

About Link Pass Through

When LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward) is enabled, the ports do

not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the

opposite port. Link loss is “carried forward” to the managed switch

or hub that is sending the link. LLCF can be used for either the

copper or ber ports.

When LLR (Link Loss Return) is enabled, the ber port’s

transmitter shuts down if its receiver fails to detect a valid receive

link. If one of the optical conductors is bad, the converter with LLR

enabled will return a no link condition to its link partner. LLR is

used to detect link problems only on the ber port.

INSTALLING THE CONVERTER

6.1 Used as a Stand-alone converter

Step 1- Turn off the power of the device in a network to which

the WFT-80X will be attached

Step 2- Ensure that there is no activity in the network

Step 3- Attach ber cable from the WFT-80X to the ber

network.

Step 4- TX, RX must be paired at both ends

Step 5- Attach a Cat. 5 UTP cable from the 10/100 Base- TX

network to the RJ-45 port on the WFT-80X.

Step 6- Connect the 7.5VDC power adapter to the WFT- 80X and

verify that the Power LED lights up.

Step 7- Turn on the power of the device, the TX Link and FX

Link LEDs should light when all cables are attached

 NOTE:

• RJ-45 Cat 5, straight-through cable is ac-

cepted

• Please refer to Chapter 10 for more about

the wiring distance of your TP, Optic-fiber

networks.

6.2 Used with WMC-1600R converter chassis

Step 1- Unscrew and pull out the media converter board

Step 2- Remove a blank faceplate from an empty expansion slot

on the front of the chassis. The module can be installed in

any expansion slot.

Step 3- Slide the module into the expansion slot, aligning it with

the guiderails, until it rmly connects to the chassis’

backplane.

Step 4- Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the

thumbscrew.
