Network Topologies
The AT-MC1004 and AT-MC1005/x Series Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters
can be used in two different network topologies: standalone and back-to-back.
These network topologies are described below.
Standalone Topology
A standalone topology uses only one media converter between the end-nodes.
Figure 4 illustrates a standalone topology that uses two AT-MC1005/1 media
converters to interconnect three remote campuses. Campus 1 has an
AT-8224XL switch with two AT-A15/LX expansion modules. The modules,
which provide a connection of up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), are connected to
the 1000Base-LX ports on the media converters. The 1000Base-T ports on the
media converters are connected to the AT-A14 expansion modules in the
AT-8216FXL/MT switches at Campus 2 and Campus 3.
