Product Description
The ION C2210 is a media converter module that provides an interface between 10/100Base-TX ports and
100Base-FX ports, allowing users to integrate fiber optic cabling into 10/100 copper environments. Operating at
Layer 2, the data link layer, this converter not only converts copper to fiber, it also provides rate conversion
allowing legacy 10Base-T copper devices to connect to 100Base-FX fiber. The ION C2210 is a manageable
device when installed in a managed ION chassis.

Installation
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when setting the 6-position
switch, removing and inserting circuit board jumper(s), and installing the SIC. Failure to observe this caution could
result in damage to or failure of the SIC.
Set the 6-position DIP Switch
•The 6-position DIP switch is located on the side of the SIC.
•Use a small flat blade screwdriver or a similar tool to set
the recessed switches.
•Refer to the drawing to the right for the locations of the
individual switches.
Note 1: Auto-Negotiation must be OFF.
1. TP Auto-Negotiation (See Note 1.)
up Enables Auto-Negotiation on the copper port.
down Disables Auto-Negotiation on the copper port.
2. TP Speed (See Note 1.)
up 100 Mbps operation on the copper port.
down 10 Mbps operation on the copper port.
3. TP Copper Mode
up full duplex operation on the copper port.
down half duplex operation on the copper port.
4. Fiber Mode
up Forces full duplex operation on the fiber port.
down Forces half duplex operation on the fiber port.
5. TP AutoCross
up Enabled.
down Disabled
6. Link Pass Through (LPT)
up Enabled
down Disabled
Hardware/software Mode Jumper
The jumpers are located on the SIC circuit board. Use a small needle-nosed pliers or a
similar tool to set the jumper.
The Hardware/Software jumper is labeled “H” for hardware and “S” for software.
Hardware: The mode of operation of the media converter is determined by the 6-position
switch settings. The default is the Hardware mode position.
Software: The mode of operation of the media converter is determined by the most
recently saved on-board microprocessor settings.

Install the C2210 SIC
To install the C2210 SIC:
1. Locate an empty installation slot on the ION chassis.
2. Carefully slide the module into the installation slot, aligning the
module with the installation guides.
3. Ensure that the module is firmly seated to the chassis
backplane.
4. Push in and rotate the panel fastener screw to secure the
module to the chassis front.
Power the C2210 SIC
The C2210 module SIC is powered through the ION chassis.
Install the Twisted-pair Copper Cable
1. Locate IEEE 803.2 compliant 10Base-T or 100Base-TX cable with RJ-45 connectors installed on both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port connector on the SIC.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port connector on the other device
(switch, workstation, etc.).
Note: The MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover) cable connection is configured automatically, when the
AutoCross jumper is in the enabled position.
