1Read these instructions.
2Keep these instructions.
3Heed all warnings
4Follow all instructions.
5Do not use this apparatus near water.
6Clean only with damp cloth.
7Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions.
8 Cable Runs- All cable runs must be within permissible distance.
9Mounting - This unit must be properly and securely mounted to a supporting
structure capable of sustaining the weight of the unit.
Accordingly:
a. The installation should be made by a qualified installer.
b. The installation should be in compliance with local codes.
c. Care should be exercised to select suitable hardware to install the unit, taking into
account both the composition of the mounting surface and the weight of the
unit.
10 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus ( including amplifiers) that produce heat.
11 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
12 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
13 Only use attachment/ accessories specified by the manufacturer.
14 Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer,
or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
15 Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when unused for long periods of time.
16 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled of objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
Be sure to periodically examine the unit and the supporting structure to make sure that the
integrity of the installation is intact. Failure to comply with the foregoing could result in the
unit separating from the support structure and falling, with resultant damages or injury to
anyone or anything struck by the falling unit.
Unpack carefully. Electronic components can be
damaged if improperly handled or dropped. If an item
appears to have been damaged in shipment, replace
it properly in its carton and notify the shipper.
Be sure to save:
1The shipping carton and packaging material.
They are the safest material in which to make
future shipments of the equipment.

• Do not remove the converter from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
• Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component. If you do not have
a wrist strap, maintain grounded contct with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring
ESD protection.
CAUTION:
Intergrated circuits and fiber optic components are extremely susceptible to electrostatic discharge
damage. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to these components.

1. Locate or bould IEEE 803.2™ compliant 100Base-FX fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors
installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cable to the EOF2N media converters as follows:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cable to the other device (another media converter, hub, etc.) as follows:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.

The EOF2N allows either MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover) cable connections to be configured automatically,
according to network conditions.
• If half-duplex mode is used, refer to the 512-Bit Rule.
• If full-duplex mode is used, the 512-Bit Rule does not apply. The cable lenghts are constrained by the
cable requirements.
1. Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 10Base-T or 100Base-TX cables, with RJ-45 connectors installed
at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the EOF2N media converter.

Product features
Congestion reduction
The EOF2N media converter do not forward collision signals or error packets from one collision domain to another,
resulting in improvements in baseline network performance. In addition, the media converter filters packets destined for
local devices, which reduces network congestion also.
Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation feature is ON permanently for the EOF2N media converters. Auto-Negotiation allows the media
converter to configure itself automatically to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link. It broadcasts speed
(10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s) and duplex capabilities (full or half) to the other device and negotiates the best mode of operation.
Auto-Negotiation allows quick and easy installation because the optimal link is established automatically.
In a scenario where an auto-negotiation device is linked to a non-negotiating device, the negotiating device via parallel
detection recognizes the speed of that second device then establishes the best operating speed (10Mbs or 100Mbs) at
half-duplex.
MDI or MDI-X
The EOF2N utilizes either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) copper cables when connecting to 10Base-T or
100Base-TX devices. the EOF2N determines the characteristics of the connection and automatically configures the device
to link up, regardless of the copper cable configuration, MDI or MDI-X.
Link Pass-Through
The Link Pass-Through feature (illustrated below) allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX
(receive) port for loss of signal. In the event of an RX signal loss (1), the media converter will automatically disable the TX
(transmit) signal (2), thus “passing through” the link loss (3). The far-end device is automatically notified of the link loss (4),
which prevents the loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link.

Note: In the link pass-through devices (EOF2N) both copper and fiber cables must be installed before the LEDs
will light.

Product features
Automatic link restoration
The media converter will automatically re-establish the link when connected to switches if the link is lost, even with Auto-
Negotiation and Link Pass-through ( both directions) enabled.
Full-Duplex flow control
In a full-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the type of cables used for EOF2N cable
specifications.
The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex network.
Note: Full duplex is ON permanently for the fiber port only.
Half-Duplex flow control (512-Bit Rule)
In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the round-trip dely limitations of each Fast
Ethernet collision domain. ( A collision domain is the longest path between any two terminal devices; e.g., a terminal,
switch, or router.)
The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by calculating the round-trip delay in bit-times (BT)
of a particular collision domain. If the result is less than or equal to 512 BT, the path is good.
Flow Control
The process of adjusting the flow of data from one device to another ensures that the receiving decive can handle all of
the incoming data. This is particularly important where the sending device is capable of transmitting data much faster
than the receiving device can accept it.
Distance extension
The EOF2N media converters cam segment one (1) 10Base-T copper Ethernet and/or 100Base-TX copper Fast Ethernet,
and one (1) 100Base-FX fiber Fast Ethernet collision domain:
In a half-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the EOF2N media converters extend network distances by
segmenting collision domains so that the 512-Bit Rule applies separately to each collision domain.
In a full-duplex Ethernet or Fast environment, the EOF2N media converters extend network distances to the physical cable
limitations imposed by the selected twisted-pair copper fiber cables.
Rate conversion
The EOF2N media converters allow connection of 10Mb/s terminal devices on a 10Base-T legacy Ethernet copper network
to 100Mb/s terminal devices on a 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet copper network and/or to 100Mb/s terminal devices on a
100Base-FX Fast Ethernet fiber network.
Far-End Fault (always ON)
When a fault occurs on an incoming ber link (1), the media converter transmits a Far-End Fault signal on the outgoing
fiber link (2). In addition the Far-End Fault signal also activates the Link Pass-Through, which, in turn, disables the link on
the copper portion of the network (3) and (4).
