4-1 1-Port 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet Modules - MII-VSC /
MII-VST / MII-VS15 / MII-VSA20 / MII-VSB20
Figure 1. 1-Port 100Base-FX (SC, Multi-mode) Module Front View
Features:
● Comply with IEEE 802.3u, 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet standard
● 1 x 100Base-FX ber ports (SC/ST/single SC ber connectors)
● Store-and-Forward technology for abnormal packet ltering
● For establishing ber link with cable length up to 2km (Multi-mode
module) and 15/20km (Single-mode module) or 412m (half-duplex
mode)
● Slide switch for Half /Full-Duplex selection (default in full-duplex)
● Plug and Play Installation
Note
1. The fiber connector and distance support will be
different by various models.
2. The MII-VSA20/VSB20 should runs in pair. It means
you must connect MII-VSA20 in one end and another
MII-VSB20, for example, in the other end.

LNK/
ACT Green
Lit: indicate the link through that port is
successfully established.
Blink: indicate that the switch is actively sending
or receiving data over that port.
FDX Orange
Lit: indicate that port is operating in full-duplex
mode.
Off: indicate that port is operating in half-duplex

Slide switch settings:
Figure 2 shows the 100Base-FX module slide switch overview and the
screen in Figure 3 appears shows the web settings for working under
100Mbps full-duplex mode and half-duplex mode.
Please make sure you have correctly congured the 100Base-FX
module in the same duplex mode between the module’s slide switch
and web interface speed duplex mode settings of module slots before
physically installing the modules.

Table 3 below shows the slide switch operation for full duplex and half
duplex mode.
Slide Switch Description
FDX
The module works on full duplex mode. The other side must
be also congured on full duplex mode. This provides up
to 2km distance by multi-mode module and 15/20km by
single-mode module.
HDX
The module works on half duplex mode. The other side must
be also congured on half duplex mode. This provides up to
412m distances.
