Chapter 1OVERVIEW
Thank you forpurchasing PLANET FT-70Xfamily Fast Ethernet
Twisted pair to Fiber-optic Converter. This converter is usedto
convert one type media signal to othertype equivalentthat
allowstwotype segments connect easily, efficiently and inex-
pensively. This converter canbe used as astandalone unitor as
aslide-in module to the10”/19”media chassis (up to15 units) for
aTPandFiber combined networks at acentral wiring closet.
Please contact with your salesrepresentative for moreabout the
19”media chassis.

Chapter 5INSTALLINGTHE CONVERTER
Please followthese steps to install the converter:
• Turn off the powerof thedevice/station in anetwork to
which the FT-70Xwill beattached.
• Ensure that there is noactivity in the network.
• Attach fiber cable fromthe FT-70X tothe fiber network. TX,
RXmust bepaired at both ends for some twoconnectors
models.
• Attach aCat. 5UTP cable fromthe100Base-TX network to
theRJ-45 port on the FT-70X.
• Connect the 5VDC poweradapter to the FT-70Xandverify
that thePower LED lights up.
• Turn onthe power of the device/station,the TX Link and FX
Link LEDs should light whenall cables are attached.

Note:
n RJ-45/STP, UTP Cat 5, straight-through cable is ac-
cepted.
n Cabling fromFT-70XTP port to aTP deviceis as below:
q To Workstation: DIPswitch on DTE
q To Hub/Switch: DIPswitchon MPR
n Please refertosection 8formoreabout the wiring dis-
tance of yourTP, Optic-fiber networks.
n Please note FT-706A15/706B15is designedto work to-
gether. It meansyou must connect FT-706A15 to
FT-706B15from them towork normally. If bothends are
FT-706A15orFT-706B15, they can tworknormallyand
may damage thefiberconnectors.
Chapter 6 DUPLEX MODESETTING
The twistedpair port of FT-70Xsupport duplexmode selection
by Auto-Negotiation (A-N). The following is theduplex mode
parameters:
Fast Ethernet Device FT-70X Duplex Mode support
Fast Ethernet Hub Half-Duplex
Fast Ethernet Switch (without A-N) Half-Duplex
Fast Ethernet Devices *
Support Auto-Negotiation Full-Duplex / Half-Duplex
Note: Normally, an A-Nswitch will bedetected and set to
Full-duplexwhere adual-speedhub will bedetectedand
set to Half-Duplex.

*Note: If the fiberport works on half duplex,please note that
Fast Ethernet/100Base-TXnetworkallows 512bit-time
delay between any two nodes/stations in acollision
domain (when work inhalf duplex).Theoverallbittimeof
TP/Fiberwires anddevices must below512 bit-time in
one network segment. To extend the distance, however,
youmayuse switch tobreak upacollisiondomain and
