free from defects, and will—at our option—repair or replace the product
should it fail within one year from the first date of shipment.
This warranty is limited to defects in workmanship or materials, and does
not cover customer damage, abuse, or unauthorized modification. If this
product fails or does not perform as warranted, your sole recourse shall
be repair or replacement as described above. Under no condition shall
Patton Electronics be liable for any damages incurred by the use of this
product.These damages include, but are not limited to, the following:lost
profits, lost savings and incidental or consequential damages arising
from the use of or inability to use this product. Patton Electronics spe-
cifically disclaims all other warranties, expressed or implied, and the
installation or use of this product shall be deemed an acceptance of
these terms by the user.
1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 2300M Series generates and uses radio frequency energy,
and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and
television reception.The Model 2300M Series has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accor-
dance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which
are designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in
a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation.If a 2300M Series unit does
cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by disconnecting the cables, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving
the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiv-
ing antenna, and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC
outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different
branches).
1.2 CE NOTICE
The CE symbol on your Patton Electronics equipment indicates that it is
in compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive

4
and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) of the Union European (EU).A Cer-
tificate of Compliance is available by contacting Technical Support.
1.3 SERVICE

2.2 DESCRIPTION
There are four base models in the Patton Model 2300M Series of stan-
dards compliant Ethernet Media Converters (see Table 1) that convert
and extend the reach of copper Ethernet over multi-mode fiber.
• The Model 2300M converts 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX and extends
up to 1.24 miles (2.0 km).
Note The Model 2300M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100
and 100Base-TX/100Base-FX network devices only; it is not
capable of connecting to 10Base-T/10Base-FL network devices.
• The Model 2310M converts 10Base-T to 10Base-FL and extends up to
1.24 miles (2.0 km).
Note The Model 2310M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100
and 10Base-T/10Base-FL network devices only;it is not capable
of connecting to 100Base-TX/100Base-FX or SX network
devices.
• The Model 2311M auto-negotiates and converts 10Base-T/100Base-
TX to 10Base-FL/100Base-SX and extends up to 1.24 miles (2.0 km)
in 10Base-FL mode and 0.19 miles (0.3 km) in 100Base-SX mode.
Note The Model 2311M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100,
10Base-T/10Base-FL, and 100Base-T/100Base-SX network
devices, however, it is not capable of connecting to 100Base-FX
network devices. Further, the Model 2311M cannot connect a
10Base network device on one side to a 100Base network
device on the other.
If a 10Base network device is on one side of the Model 2311M,
there must be another 10Base or an auto-sensing 10/100 net-
work device on the other.If a 100Base network device is on one

side of the Model 2311M, there must be another 100Base or an
auto-sensing 10/100 network device on the other.
The Model 2311M is the ideal product for customers who currently have
10Base-T networks and/or equipment and are planning to upgrade to
100Base-TX in the future.The Model 2311 provides a migration path
from 10Base-T/10Base-FL to 100Base-TX/100Base-SX, which elimi-
nates the need to upgrade and lowers the overall cost of ownership.
• The Model 2312M auto-negotiates and converts 10/100Base-TX to
10Base-FL/100Base-FX and extends up to 1.24 miles (2.0 km).
Note The Model 2312M can be used to connect auto-sensing
10Base-T/10Base-FL and 100Base-TX/100Base-FX network
devices, however, it is not capable of connecting to 10BasE net-
work devices. Further, the Model 2312M cannot connect a
10Base network device on one side to a 100Base network
device on the other.
If a 10Base network device is on one side of the Model 2312M,
there must be another 10Base or an auto-sensing 10/100 net-
work device on the other.If a 100Base network device is on one
side of the Model 2312M, there must be another 100Base or an
auto-sensing 10/100 network device on the other.
The Model 2312M is the ideal product for customers who currently have
10Base-T networks and/or equipment and are planning to upgrade to
100Base-TX in the future.The Model 2312 provides a migration path
from 10Base-T/10Base-FL to 100Base-TX/100Base-FX, which elimi-
nates the need to upgrade and lowers the overall cost of ownership.
All Patton 2300M Series models are packaged in an ultra-miniature
MicroPak chassis and feature power, fiber link and activity, and twisted-
pair link and activity LED indicators.The Model 2300M Series of Ether-
net Media Converters can be ordered with ST or SC fiber optic connec-
tors and with 120VAC, 220VAC, universal interface (UI), -48 VDC, -24
VDC, or -12 VDC power supply adapters. Power cord designations for
220VAC and UI models must be specified at the time of purchase.

3.0 INSTALLATION
The following sections describe installing and configuring the Model
2300M Series of Ethernet Media Converters
3.1 INSTALLING A MEDIA CONVERTER
Do the following to install the Model 2300M Series of Ethernet Media
Converters:
1. The MDI/MDI-X switch enables you to connect the 2300M models to
different types of network devices using a standard (straight-
through) network patch cable.
To connect the 2300M models to a terminal, transceiver, or network inter-
face card (NIC), set the switch to the MDI-X (lefthand) position (see
Figure 1).
Otherwise, to connect to a hub or switch, set the switch to the MDI (right-
hand) position (see Figure 1).

2. The media converter comes equipped with a shielded RJ-45 Jack
for Ethernet connections (see Figure 1 on page 8).
Connect the Ethernet RJ-45 jack to the appropriate 802.3 compliant
network equipment via a standard network patch cable (not pro-
vided).The pinout diagrams in Figure 2 reflect the pinouts of the
Ethernet RJ-45 jack when switched to MDI and MDI-X settings.
Note Twisted-pair connections from the Ethernet RJ-45 Jack to the
network device should be 802.3 compliant (Category 5 STP or
UTP recommended) and must not exceed 100 meters (328
feet). Do not use flat or satin cable.

3. Connect the dual fiber ST or SC connectors on the media converter
(see Figure 3) directly to the 802.3 compliant multi-mode fiber cable
equipped with male ST or SC connectors or via 802.3 compliant
multi-mode fiber patch cord (not provided) and corresponding ST or
SC fiber wall jacks.
Note Verify that the cable connecting theTX and RX of the 2300M
Series unit is connected to the RX and TX respectively on the
remote 2300M Series unit or network device. End-to-end multi-
mode fiber connections between two Model 2300M Series
Ethernet Media Converters or between one Model 2300M
Series Media Converter and other network devices must not
exceed 2 km (1.24 miles), 298.7 m (980 ft) in 100Base-SX mode
(Model 2311M only).
Figure 3. Fiber connector locations
4. Connect the DC power output side of the power supply adapter to
the power jack (see Figure 1 on page 8) on the 2300M Series unit.
5. Connect the AC power side/cord of the power supply adapter to the
appropriate AC power source.
The media converter will power up and LED indicators will illuminate
once connected to the power source.

4.0 OPERATION
Once you have installed the Model 2300M Series unit and have con-
nected the External Power Supply Adapter to the appropriate power
source, the unit will power up automatically and is ready to operate.
4.1 LED INDICATORS
Once powered up, LED indicators located on the side of the Model 2300M
Series unit will illuminate to indicate the operating status of the unit.
