3. Configuration

To expand a Gigabit Ethernet network, you can use the converter as described in the following examples:

1.Place two converters back to back between the end devices as shown in Figure 3-1.

Device A	Twisted-pair				Twisted-pair Device B
		cable			cable
				1000BASE-TX
LGC201A				interface		LGC201A
						or
or
				1000BASE-X		LGC202A
LGC202A
				interface
			Single-mode or
				multimode
			fiber optic cable

Figure 3-1. Application using two converters.

NOTE: Use two LGC201A Media Converters or two LGC202A media converters to expand your network.

2.Place one converter directly between a 1000BASE-TX network segment and a fiber optic network segment as shown in Figure 3-2.
