Connections
The connection of the media converter to a hub /switch can be done with a
standard 1:1 patch cable. Because the pinout of the RJ-45 port can be crossed it
is also possible to use a 1:1 patch cable to connect end devices.
Autonegotiation (only for Fast Ethernet version)
This protocol is used during the connection establishment to recognise the
transmission mode (half or full duplex). This ensures that always the maximum
transmission speed is reached. Because the autonegotiation protocol is not
defined for the fiber side, the converter has a helpful manual configuration
feature.
To support the configuration MICROSENS offers this protocol and allows the
configuration of the full duplex mode (DIP switch FD: on). Now the converter is
getting active during the connection establishment and reacts on the
autonegotiation protocol of the connected device.
If this feature is deactivated (FD=OFF) the converter has no effect on the
configuration of the connection. In this case the transmission mode is half duplex
and is interpreted by the connected devices, if autonegotiation is supported by
these devices.
