Chapter 1: Overview
Network Topologies
Standalone Topology
This section discusses the network topologies you can create with the Converteon™ Fast and Gigabit Media Converter Line Cards.
Figure 12 illustrates a standalone topology using one AT-CV5000 media converter with an AT-CM202 line card to interconnect two small networks.
Network 1 has an AT-FS709FC switch connected to the 100Base-FX port on the AT-CM202 line card in the AT-CV5000 media converter.
Network 2 has an AT-8524M switch connected to the 10/100Base-TX port on the AT-CM202 line card in the AT-CV5000 media converter.

Figure 12. Standalone Network Topology
Figure 13 illustrates a back-to-back topology using two AT-CV5000 media converters with AT-CM202 line cards to interconnect two small networks.
The media converters themselves are connected together through 100Base fiber optic ports on AT-CM202 line cards.
