1. Introduction
The LevelOne 10/100 TX to 100FX Media Converter is a
cost-effective solution for the converting between 10/100Base-TX
and 100Base-FX cabling, it allows you to extend the cabling
distance of your 100Base-FX network. The 10/100 TX to 100FX
Media Converter provides cabling connectors: SC multi- mode fiber
connector and SC single-mode fiber connector. There are 4 DIP-
switches to set the operation mode for UTP, Fiber ports and link loss
forwarding function. With TS1000 compliant, it supports alarm
output, display and loop-back test functions simplify maintenance
and fault isolation tasks
The 10/100 TX to 100FX Media Converter can be slotted in
FVT-4000 Multi-Converter Chassis, which allows your network
connectivity to be more flexible. It also can be use as stand-alone
without slot in Multi-Converter Chassis. The package has included
the AC power adaptor for stand-alone using.

2.4. DIP-switch
The DIP-switch is used to configure operation mode for LLF (Link
Lost Forwarding) and operation mode for UTP/Fiber port. The
default value of DIPswitch is OFF.
No Status Description
ON UTP 100Mbps Full Duplex mode
1 OFF UTP Auto-Nego
ON Fiber in Half Duplex
2 OFF Fiber in Full Duplex
ON LLF Enable
3 OFF LLF Disable
ON Pure converter mode
4 OFF Switch Converter mode
Link Lost Forwarding:
When LLF is enable, allow UTP link failures to be reported to the
fiber side and also allow Fiber link failure to be reported to the UTP
side. Therefore, A link loss forward feature is provided in both UTP
and Fiber side.
Pure Converter mode (Fast Ethernet Module):
When pure converter mode is enabling (on), it operates with the
minimum latency. The transmission flow does not wait until entire
frame is ready, but instead it forwards the received data immediately
after the data being received. And TP port should be forced at 100M
in this application. When DIP-Switch is in Switch Converter mode
(off), the converter function is same as Switch Hub.
Note:
Please don’t change the DIP-switch setting when UTP or fiber port is
transmitting or receiving data. It may cause some data error.

3. Connection
3.1. Cabling
Twisted-pair segment can be use unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
or shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling. The cable must comply
with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base TX standard for Category 5. The
cable between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub,
workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
Fiber segment using multi-mode connector type must use 50 or
62.5/125 um multi-mode fiber cable. You can connect two
devices up to a 2-kilometer (6,562 ft.) distance.
Fiber segment using single-mode connector type must use
8/125 or 9/125 um single-mode fiber cable. You can connect two
devices in the distance of 30 Kilometers in full duplex operation.
For half-duplex operation, the recommended maximum distance
is 412 meters (1,352 ft.)
3.2. RJ-45 Port
RJ-45 Port (Auto MDI/MDIX): the Ethernet RJ-45 will auto-sense for
10Base-T or 100Base-TX connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that
you can connect to another Switch or workstation without changing
non-crossover or crossover cabling. See the below figures for
straight through and crossover cable schematic.

3.3. Fiber
Fiber Port: It is a 100 Base-FX connection. We provide SC
connectors (multi/single mode). Please follow the below figure to
connect it. Wrong connection will cause the port cannot work
properly.
