AT-FS232
2 Port Fast Ethernet Speed/Media Converting Switch
2 PORT FAST ETHERNET SPEED/MEDIA CONVERTING SWITCH
AT-FS232/y-xx
2-port Fast Ethernet switch media converter
10/100TX to 100FX (SC)
EXTEND NETWORKS
AT-FS232 switches are the ideal solution when the
time comes to upgrade your traditional 10Mbps
Ethernet network or extend your 100Mbps Fast
Ethernet network.The AT-FS232 is designed to
extend the distance of your network by converting
Fast Ethernet data between twisted pair cabling
and single-mode fiber-optic cabling.The AT-FS232
features a 100FX fiber-port and a 10/100TX twist-
ed-pair port.The fiber-optic port features an SC
connector and an operating distance of 2 kilome-
ters (6,561 feet) to 90 kilometers (55.8 miles)
depending on the model.The twisted-pair port has
an RJ-45 connector with a maximum operating dis-
tance of 100 meters (328 feet).
VLAN SUPPORT
Many new backbone switch products now support
the industry standard IEEE 802.1Q specification for
Virtual LANs (VLANs) that send extra-long data
packets on the network.The AT-FS232 switches
are fully compatible with these long packets,
enabling them to be used in modern networks.
Switches not supporting this feature will discard
these extra long packets, making them unsuitable
for modern networks.
SMALL & FLEXIBLE
The small size and external power supply of the
AT-FS232 allow them to be used almost anywhere.
Additionally, they can be mounted in a chassis
along with Allied Telesyn’s media converters, allow-
ing users to construct any mix of network conver-
sions when they add the optional redundant
power supply.
SMART MISSING LINK™ (SML)
The Missing Link feature allows the ports on the
media converter to pass the Link status of their
connections to each other. When the media con-
verter detects a problem with a port—such as the
loss of connection to a node—it shuts down the
connection to the other port, thereby notifying the
node that the connection has been lost.The AT-
FS232 also features Smart Missing Link™ (SML)—
a feature that monitors network connections and
provides notification when network segments fail,
allowing network managers to quickly identify the
source and location of failed segments and mini-
mize downtime.
