Chapter 1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing the MC100CM/MC110CS Fast Ethernet
Media Converters or the MC111CS/MC112CS WDM Fast Ethernet
Media Converters
!
1.1 Overview of the Converter
MC100CM and MC110CS are Fast Ethernet Media Converters.
MC111CS and MC112CS are WDM Fast Ethernet Media Converters,
which adopt WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology
that increases the information carrying capacity of fiber via multiplex
transmit and receive signals at different wavelengths on single strand
cable. You can save half cabling cost when you use MC111CS and
MC112CS instead of your original dual fiber converter.
The converter mediates between a 10/100Base-TX segment and a
100Base-FX segment. It is primarily designed for large, higher
speed/bandwidth demanding workgroups that require expansion of
the Fast Ethernet network.
The converter also features the LFP (Link Fault Pass through)
function, and for its procedure illustrates, please refer to the section 1.5.3.
Note:
This media converter can also be powered by 5VDC adapter.

1.5.3 Link Fault Pass Through Function
In common situations, when one side of the link fails, the other side
continues transmitting packets, and waiting for a response that never
arrives from the disconnected side.
7
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
With the Link Fault Pass Through function enabled (optional with
switch LFP), TP port and FX port of the same converter will inform
each other the fault link status so that when one side of the link fails,
the other side will force the link to shut down as soon as noticed. The
procedure will be illustrated as shown below.
If link fail happens on TP port (A), the FX port (A) sends non-idle
pattern to notice the FX port (B). The FX port (B) then forces its TP
port (B) to link failed after receiving the non-idle pattern. Link status
LED will also be off for both Converters and Devices as shown below.

Chapter 2 Installation Guide
2.1 Fast Ethernet Media Converter
1. The SC fiber connector of MC100CM transmits/receives data by
1310nm short wave laser on multi-mode fiber.
2. The SC fiber connector of MC110CS transmits/receives data by
1310nm short wave laser on single-mode fiber.
Transmits and receives data on different fibers
Note:
You have to use either two MC100CM connectors or two MC110CS
connectors to cooperate.
2.2 WDM Fast Ethernet Media Converter
1. The SC fiber connector of MC111CS transmits data by 1550nm
short wave laser while receives data by 1310nm short wave laser
on one single-mode fiber.
2. The SC fiber connector of MC112CS transmits data by 1310nm
short wave laser while receives data by 1550nm short wave laser
on one single-mode fiber.

Chapter 3 Configuration
In order to achieve the aim of effectively expanding a Fast Ethernet
network, you can use the converter like the following examples:
1. Place two converters back to back between the following end
devices.
Note:
You should use two MC100CM Media Converters or two MC110CS
Media Converters, or one MC111CS and one MC112CS to expand
your network. Error will occur when you use other ways.
2. Another effective application is to place one converter directly
between a 10/100Base-TX network and a 100Base-FX device.

3.1 Installation Procedure
Use a fiber cable to connect two converters, or connect a converter
with a 100Base-FX Device.
1. Connection of a Converter and a 10/100Base-TX Device (HUB or
Switch).
•
Make sure that the length of the Cat.5 twisted pair cable
between the 10/100Base-TX device and the converter is less
than 100 meters.
•
Connect one end of the Cat.5 twisted pair cable to the RJ45
jack on the converter and the other end of the cable to the
RJ45 jack on the 10/100Base-TX device.
2. Connection of two Converters or a Converter and a 100Base-FX
Device.
•
Use a SC fiber cable to connect the two Converters’ SC
connector or the SC connecter of a Converter and a
100Base-FX Device.
3. Turn on the power.
