FibroLAN MetroStar MCM110-0X Single and Dual channel modules 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX modules

This module provides one or two buffered and independent 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX conversion channels. Due to its buffering feature (BMD) different speeds or duplex modes can be used on its ports consequently reaching full distances even when interconnecting HDX devices. Although its TP port is auto-negotiating, other modes can be forced to successfully interconnect with any type of device. The module is offered in a large variety of optical interfaces, both dual and single fiber strand, allowing the extension of the network up to 150km. Fault Propagation from the F/O port to the TP port allows network redundancy (provided that the switch/router to which it is connected is properly set to activate an alternate path). The TEST switch disables this function when FP is not implemented in the network and for diagnostics purposes. Like other MetroStar modules, the MCM is fully SNMP managed. The embedded MA chip allows full management of remote (MA enabled) devices eliminating the need of costly SNMP processors and IP addresses in such devices. All MetroStar modules are hot swappable and equipped with two self-clinching screws for easy and safe module insertion and removal. A special LED indicates that the module is well inserted in its slot and ?alive? even before links are connected.
