Modes of Operation (PCI Version) The McPC 10/100 features three modes of operation: Auto Negotiation mode (AN), Force-10 mode and Force-100 mode. Configure the McPC 10/100 for one of these modes (factory default is Auto Negotiation mode). Refer to the Link Fault Detection section for information on Link Fault Detection (LFD). NOTE The McPC 10/100 cannot be manually set for Half- or Full-Duplex. Duplex is determined by the devices to which the McPC 10/100 is connected. Auto Negoti

There is no Auto Negotiation in either of the Force modes. Auto Negotiation (PCI Version) When connecting two McPC 10/100s between two end stations (devices such as switches, hubs and repeaters), all devices in the media conversion should ideally support, and be utilizing, Auto Negotiation functionality. While it is possible to have Auto Negotiating devices on one side of the media conversion and fixed (non-Auto Negotiating) devices on the other, link LEDs will react differently depending

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules. 1. Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems in an installation. 2. Dust caps are in
