About McLIMs
McLIMs (Media Converter Link Interface Modules) are 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
modules which provide a single-conversion between 100Base-TX twisted pair and
100Base-FX (McLIM TX/FX) or 100Base-SX (McLIM TX/SX) fiber and support Half
or Full-Duplex.
McLIM TP-TX/FX is an Auto Negotiating, switching media converter which offers
plug-and-play operation to convert 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, Half-or-Full-Duplex
twisted pair to 100Base-FX, Full-Duplex fiber. McLIM TP-TX/FX allows jumbo
packets of up to 1916 bytes.
McLIMs include one RJ-45 connector for the twisted pair port and one pair of
fiber connectors for the fiber port. McLIMs are also available in single-strand
fiber versions which include one SC fiber connector. Each McLIM requires one
slot in a media converter chassis.
About McGigabit
McGigabit is a Gigabit Ethernet module which provides a single-conversion
between 1000Base-SX (multi-mode) or LX (single-mode) fiber and 1000Base-T
copper. McGigabit offers plug-and-plan operation, and always operates at Full-
Duplex. McGigabit modules include one RJ-45 connector for the twisted pair
port and one pair of SC fiber connectors. Single-strand single-mode fiber
versions are also available. Each McGigabit requires one slot in a media converter
chassis.
NOTE
This Manual refers to McPIM, McLIM and McGigabit modules as “Media Conversion
Modules” except where differences require indication.
Configuring Media Conversion Modules
The McPIMs and McLIMs can be configured for a variety of features before
installation (see board Diagrams/Configuration Table for specific information).
McLIM TP-TX/FX and McGigabit have plug-and-play operation and require
no configuration. The illustrations show the location of the configuration
jumpers and switches on the various Media Conversion Modules.
