About the MCR205-1T/1S
The IFS MCR205-1T/1S Managed Media Converter that provides conversion
between a 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX network. The SFP slot utilizes
various single-mode/multi-mode media 100Base-FX SFP transceiver modules
with LC connectors. Based on the 100Base-FX transceiver selection; the
MCR205-1T/1S is capable of handling the data from 2km to 20km with high
reliability and flexibility.
The MCR205-1T/1S can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to
the IFS 19-inch MCR-R15 media converter chassis. The media converter chassis
can provide DC power to the MCR205-1T/1S to maintain the fiber optic network
at the central location.
The MCR205-1T/1S is equipped with a remote Web/SNMP interface. With its
built-in Web-based management, the MCR205-1T/1S offers an easy-to-use,
platform-independent management and configuration facility and can be
programmed for advanced management functions. Settings such as IP address
Configuration/DHCP Client function, password setting/firmware upgrade, system
reboot/factory default, port configuration that include TP/Fiber port speed duplex
mode setting, flow control setting and Ingress/Egress bandwidth control setting,
converter configuration that include maximum packet length setting,

steps:
Step 1: Turn off the power of the device/station in a network to which the
MCR205-1T/1S will be attached.
Step 2: Ensure that there is no activity in the network.
Step 3: Install the SFP transceiver module. Make sure that same SFP modules
are used on both ends of the fiber cable.
