11. Set the unit to Normal (NML) Mode for normal operation.
Note
End stations used with the media converter must operate in the same
duplex mode (either both full-duplex or both half-duplex).
Note
The media converters have an additional feature, allowing the unit to
operate in 100 Mbps half-duplex mode. Certain applications require this
mode, for example two media converters installed in a back-to-bac
configuration (fiber-to-fiber) which are attached to unmanaged repeaters
and/or switches that auto-negotiate with the other. For instructions on how
to set up the media converter for this application, visit the Technical
Support area of Allied Telesyn’s web site at www.alliedtelesyn.com.
