AT-FH800 Series Installation Guide

You can connect to a remote site using the fiber optic uplink module AT-FH807u. These modules act as a two-port switch, interfacing the internal repeater buses to the attached device. SC fiber module is available. It connects to both the internal 10 and 100 Mbps repeater bus, but operates only at 100 Mbps for the external connection. The default setting of this module is auto-negotiate (see Figure 8).

Before using a fiber optic module, prepare fiber optic cable connectors at both ends. When connecting the module directly to an end-node device, for example a workstation or file server, run cable from the RX (TX) port on the module to the TX (RX) port on the target device. When inserting the cable, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated. Note that as a general rule, the length of fiber optic cable should not exceed 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) when the link is operated at full-duplex or 412 meters (0.25 miles) for half-duplex.

Note

In the present design, the uplink port only can not be monitored or managed by Local Management Agent, Telnet Agent, RMON Agent, SNMP Agent, or Web- based Management.

You can use a twisted-pair module to connect the stack to a network device in another segment such as another hub, a switch, or a workgroup server. This module acts as a two-port switch, interfacing the internal repeater buses to the attached device. It supports 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps with half- or full-duplex communications via auto-negotiation (if also supported by the attached device). This module confines local traffic to the stack and passes traffic to the attached device only when required.
