About this Manual
This guide covers the MILC2412 Fast Ethernet, hot-
swappable media converters. The terms “MIL-C2412”
and “converter” are used throughout this document to
describe both of these devices.
Introduction
The MIL-C2412 is one in a series of modules designed
for Digi's Media Conversion System. This Fast Ethernet
converter supports half- and full-duplex modes. For
network budget constraint, the MIL-C2412 uses 150 ns
(approx. 30 m of cables) during conversion in each
direction.
To maximize the fiber cable distance, use one meter of
CAT 5 UTP cable when connecting directly to a node
(subject to fiber budget of 11 dBm and collision domain
restrictions). In full-duplex environments, up to 100 m
of CAT 5 UTP and 2 km of 1300 nm multi-mode fiber,
62.5/125 mm cable can be used.
The MIL-C2412 comes equipped with an ST-type
connector, and one RJ-45 (100BASE-TX) connector.
Features
• Diagnostic LEDs
• Link Sentry feature
• Supports half- and full-duplex modes
• Receive sensitivity: -31 dBm

Installation
Do the following to install the MIL-C2412 into a
redundant rack mount chassis:
1. Make any configuration changes to the module (i.e.,
DIP switch settings or jumper).
2. Remove the screws securing the faceplate and
remove it from the chassis.
3. Slide unit into a slot through the guide rails.
4. Insert the module into the card-edge connector (port
bay). Make sure it is seated firmly.
5. Secure the module with the two thumbscrews
located on the faceplate of the unit.
The unit is now ready for network connections.
MDI/MDI-X Switch
The MDI/MDI-X switch allows for quick configuration
of the 100BASE-TX port. Cables used when the switch is
in the MDI-X position (the “left” position):
• For a hub/repeater, use a swap cable (pins are
connected 1 to 3, 2 to 6, 3 to 1, and 6 to 2)
• For a workstation/PC, use a straight-through cable
(pins are connected 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, and 6 to 6)

Cables used when the switch is in the MDI position (the
“right” position):
• For a hub/repeater, use a straight-through cable
(pins are connected 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, and 6 to 6)
• For a workstation/PC port, use a swap cable (pins
are connected 1 to 3, 2 to 6, 3 to 1, and 6 to 2)
Link Sentry Configuration
The Link Sentry feature on the MIL-C2412 is configured
through a 4-position DIP switch (refer to Figure 1).
Default setting for the DIP switches: All switches are in
the “up” position.
Link Sentry allows users to add new management tools
to the network. When enabled, it monitors the selected
receiver port and, if the Link test signal is not seen, the
unit will stop sending a signal through the selected
transmit port.
The following table shows which Link Sentry feature is
enabled:
Note: For two MIL-C2412s used back-to-back and UTP-to-UTP, all DIP
switches must be
enabled (in the “down”position) on the first MIL-C2412.
On the second MIL-C2412, enable switches 1 and 4 (in the “down”
position).
Default setting for Link Sentry: All switches set in the “up” position
(disabled).When using the SNMP module to control the Link Sentry
feature, leave the switches in the default mode (“up”).
