Magnum14E Media Converters | Installation and User Guide (10/02) |
2.2Product Description
Magnum 14E Fast Ethernet Media Converters offer a convenient, cost-effective and graceful way to incorporate fiber media into a 100BASE-TX Ethernet network. Each Magnum 14E supports both full- and half-duplex mode transparently so that an attached RJ-45 switch or hub operates at its highest performance level. For support of “N-way” auto-negotiating switches, a manual AN/reg switch on the Magnum 14E allows the user to manually enable either (a) “AN” for auto-negotiation, where the 14E transmits applicable auto-negotiation Fast Link Pulses (FLPs) from the RJ-45 port to the connected 10/100 switch port at Link-enable, or
(b) “reg” regular media converter mode, no auto-negotiation.
Magnum 14E Media Converters are designed for quick and easy installation even in very tight spaces. Media cables are easily attached. Magnum 14E Media Converters feature an up-link switch on the TX port to eliminate the need for a special cross-over cable when
