Installing the Media Converter
The following sections explain how to install the media converter. The media
converter can be installed either as a standalone unit (such as on a table) or in
an AT-MCR12 chassis or an AT-TRAY4 tray.
Planning the Installation
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when planning the installation of
your media converter.
❑
The nodes connected to the media converter must operate at 100
Mbps.
❑
The two nodes connected to the ports of the media converter must
operate with the same duplex mode, either half- or full-duplex. The
media converter itself can operate in either mode.
❑
The devices connected to the two ports on the media converter can be
network adapter cards, repeaters, switches, or routers.
