iv Notes.
1 Abou t the McBa sic The McBasic series consists of low-cost, IEEE 8 02.3 singl e-conversion, 1U high, standalone media conve rters. The McBasic TP/FO con verts 10Base-T twisted pair to 10Base-FL multi-mo de or single-m ode fi ber and includes one RJ- 45 connector and one pai r of S T o r SC connect ors.
2 BNC Port Termina tion McBasi c TP/BNC features a 2-position switch next to the BNC connector that a llows a thin coax ial segment to be terminated at th e port w ithout a n additional ‘ T’ connector and termin ator. If McBasic TP/B NC is attached to a mid-p oint of a th in Et her n et segment, attach a ‘T’ connect or to th e BNC port.
3 About Link Integrity During normal operation, link integrity pu lses are transmitted by all point-to-point Ethernet devices. When an IM C Networks media converter rece ives valid link pulse s, it knows that the device to which it is co nnec ted is up and sending pulses, an d that the copp er or fiber c able coming f rom that device is intact.
4 Pulsing Fiber Alert Pulsing FiberAle rt minimizes t he problems as sociated with the l oss of one strand of fiber. If a strand is unavaila ble, the IMC Netwo rks device at the receiver end notes the loss of link. The device will stop transmitting data and start sending link pulses.
5 LED Operation Each McBasic fe atures diagnostic LE Ds. The following illustrations show the location of the LED s, an d othe r fe atu re s, on McBasic TP /FO and McBas ic TP/BNC. The LED fun ctio ns f or McBa sic TP/FO are as fol lows: • TP LINK Glows green if li nk is established on the TX port.
6 The LED fun ctio ns for M cBasic TP/ BNC are as f ollow s: • TP RCV Flickers amber when twisted p air port is receiv ing data . • TP LNK Glows green when a twisted pair link is established. • BNC COL Flickers re d in normal o peration indicat ing norm al collisions are bein g detecte d on the BNC segment.
7 Installat ion Tro ubles hoot ing • During installation, first test your fiber and t wisted pair c onnections with all troubleshooting features disabled. Then enable these features, if desired, just before final inst allation. This wil l reduce the in terference fr om feature s upon testing .
