About the McBasic TP/BNC
With the McBasic TP/BNC, 50 coax cable installations become more
accessible.
The McBasic TP/BNC is a 10 Mbps Ethernet Twisted Pair to 50Ω Coax
cable (e.g. RG-59) Media Converter, that allows the continued use of the
already-installed 50Ω analog cable, eliminating the need to re-cable. As a
low-cost, IEEE 802.3 single-conversion, 1U high, standalone media convert-
er, the McBasic TP/BNC converts 10Base-T twisted pair to 10Base-2 thin
coax and includes one RJ-45 connector and one RG-59 BNC connector.
Each McBasic TP/BNC includes diagnostic LEDs and an internal 100-240
VAC power supply.
McBasic TP/BNC Front Panel
The LEDs
Each McBasic TP/BNC features diagnostic LEDs. The following illustration
shows the location of the LEDs, and other features, on the McBasic TP/BNC.
The LED functions for the McBasic TP/BNC are as follows:
TP LNK/ACT Glows yellow when a twisted pair link is established and
flickers when data is being received.
BNC ACT
Flickers green in normal operation indicating activity on the
BNC port.
BNC COL Flickers red in normal operation indicating collisions are
being detected on the BNC segment.
POWER
Flickers yellow when the unit is receiving power.

Twisted Pair Crossover/Pass-Through Switch
The twisted pair port on the McBasic TP/BNC features a push-button
switch, located next to the twisted pair connector, for selecting a crossover
workstation connection or pass-through repeater/hub connection.
Select a pass-through connection by pressing the push-button IN. A
crossover connection is selected when the push-button is OUT. If uncer-
tain whether a crossover or pass-through connection is needed, set the
push-button to the position that makes the TP LNK (link) LED glow.
BNC Port Termination
The McBasic TP/BNC features a 2-position, termination switch (TERM)
next to the BNC connector that allows a thin coaxial segment to be termi-
nated at the port without the use of an external 'T' connector/terminator.
(See the diagram in the McBasic TP/BNC Front Panel section.)
If a 'T' connector/terminator is used, this switch must be set in the OFF
(disabled) position. Otherwise, double termination will result, which will
corrupt the signal.

Installing the McBasic TP/BNC
The McBasic TP/BNC converters come ready to install. Deploy McBasic
TP/BNC units in pairs, or connect a McBasic TP/BNC converter to another
IMC Networks converter. To install a McBasic TP/BNC converter, first
make sure that the unit is placed on a flat surface. Attach the cables
between the McBasic TP/BNC and each device that will be interconnect-
ed, then plug the unit into a reliable, filtered power source. Make sure to
connect the BNC port of the McBasic TP/BNC converter only to 50Ω coax-
ial cable.
When connecting an Ethernet cable to the McBasic TP/BNC, make sure
the cable corresponds to the crossover/pass-through switch. When using a
crossover cable, make sure the switch is out, in the “X” setting. The switch
can be pressed again to change the setting.
