Installing the Media Converter
The following sections explain how to install the media converter. The media
converter can be installed on a table or in an AT-MCR12 chassis.
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 1000
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.
❑ Be sure to observe the cabling specifications. Refer to “Cabling
Specifications” below.
