About the McPC 100Mbps The McPC 100Mbps is an IEEE 802.3 single-conversion PC media converter card designed to convert twisted pair (100Base-TX) connections to a variety of other fiber connections: 100 Base-SX 850 or 1300nm multi-mode or 100Base-FX 1310nm or 1550nm single-mode. Single strand versions are also available. The McPC 100Mbps can be installed in any PC with a standard PCI slot. It includes diagnostic LEDs for each port, and a 4-pin peripheral power supply connector. The McPC

The McPC 100Mbps also sends out link pulses from its copper and fiber transmitters, but normally has no way of knowing whether the cable to the other device is intact and the link pulses are reaching the other end. The combination of FiberAlert and LinkLoss allows this information to be obtained, even when physical access to a remote device (and its link integrity LED) is not available. FX LinkLoss (FXLL) FX LinkLoss is a troubleshooting feature. When a fault occurs on the fiber segm

Enabling TX and FX LinkLoss In order to enable the LinkLoss features, remove the cover from the unit and place the jumpers accordingly. Follow the instructions below, referencing the diagram. 1. Make sure that there is no power going to the unit by UNPLUGGING THE POWER CORD. 2. Using a Philllips screwdriver, remove the screws on the corners of the cover. 3. Remove the cover and find the three-pin jumper blocks for TX and FX LinkLoss. Adjust the shunts on the jumpers accordingly. 4. R

Installation Troubleshooting During installation, first test the fiber and twisted pair connections with FiberAlert disabled. Then enable FiberAlert, if desired, just before final installation. This will reduce the feature’s interference with testing. To test McPC 100Mbps by itself, use the appropriate fiber patch cable. First, connect McPC 100Mbps to the twisted pair device with a twisted pair cable. Next, look a single strand of fiber from the transmit port to the receive port of

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
