negotiation and the Link Mode is “LS” Link Segment.

2. Connect the UTP port to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX
Ethernet device using a Category 5 cable (or better).

3. Connect the fiber optic port to a 100BASE-FX Fast
Ethernet device via the fiber cable of the appropriate
mode and type. When connecting dual fiber models,
the

miConverter

10/100 Plus transmitter (Tx) must

attach to the receiver side of its link partner; the
receiver (Rx) must attach to the transmitter. When
connecting single-fiber (SF) models, the Tx
wavelength on one end has to match the Rx wavelength
on the other. Based on this guideline, the SF media
converter models must be used in pairs, such as the
1130-2-x matched with the 1131-2-x.

4. Mount the

miConverter

10/100 Plus using the

included Velcro

®

strips or optional wall-mounting

bracket kit (P/N 1091-0).
5. Connect the appropriate power source.

DESCRIPTION
The

miConverter

10/100 Plus

is a 10/100BASE-T copper

to 100BASE-FX fiber media converter. The UTP copper
port can automatically detect the speed, duplex mode
and crossover mode of the connected device, or it can
be manually configured via DIP-switches.

The 100BASE-FX fiber port operates in Full-Duplex
mode and supports single-mode or multimode fiber
with ST or SC fiber connectors. Single-mode models
feature Bi-Directional fiber and support distances of
up to 40km. The various fiber models options are
described in the table on the first page.

Several Link Modes (fault-detection capabilities) are

available with the 10/100 Plus, including Link Segment
(Normal Mode), Link Propagate (Link Loss Carry
Forward), Remote Fault Detection and Symmetrical
Fault Detection. The link mode assist in the
identification and isolation of link failures.

WARNING!
Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify
that the power on the unit is appropriate

for your AC line voltage source.

POWER ADAPTER NOTICE

This product should only be used with Omnitron supplied
Power Supply model numbers 9113-PS, 9115-PS,
9130-2, 9116-PS-3, 9116-PS-4, 9116-PS-5 or
9116-PS-8.

In order to guarantee performance when powering the

miConverter

10/100

Plus with the USB Power

Adapter cable (P/N 9130-2), the cable must be
connected to a Full-Powered USB Type-A port (5V,
500mA).

NOTE: Not all USB Type-A ports are Full-Powered
USB ports. The Full-Powered USB Type-A ports
are usually the USB ports found on computer
cases or on self-powered (powered by an AC
adapter) USB hubs.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Configure the

miConverter

10/100 Plus with the

appropriate DIP-switch settings. The factory default
configuration for the UTP copper port is “AN” Auto-

User Manual

UTP Mode Selection
The UTP port is configured using the DIP-switches
as shown in Figure 1. There are four modes of
operation based on the position of the DIP-switches.
The factory default configuration is “AN” Auto-
negotiation. In the “AN” mode, the port will advertise
100Mbps Full-Duplex, 100Mbps Half-Duplex, 10Mbps
Full-Duplex and 10Mbps Half-Duplex.

The UTP port can be configured for Manual negotiation
by setting the appropriate DIP-switches. The port
can be configured for 100Mbps Full-Duplex, 100Mbps
Half-Duplex and 10Mbps Half-Duplex.

Link Mode Selection
The

miConverter

10/100 Plus can be configured for

several different Link Modes. The DIP-switch
illustration in Figure 1 indicates how to configure the
different Link Modes.

Link Segment (LS)
“LS” (factory default) generates and detects a link
signal at each point in the network. Utilizing this
configuration, a loss of a receive link signal will only
affect the port detecting the loss of signal. All the
other ports will continue to generate a link signal.
Figure 2(A) indicates the normal operation of the
system without faults. Figure 2(B) indicates a loss
of a receive link on the fiber optic port, the UTP
port continues to maintain its link.

When choosing power options, replace (-x) in the model number
with the suffix number that corresponds to the power supply of
choice below. Example: 1103-3-6 stands for
1103-3-x with USB Power Adapter
-1 US Power Supply - 120Volt / 60Hz
-2 Universal Power Supply (requires AC power cord) -
100-240Volt / 50-60Hz
-3 Euro Power Supply - 100-240Volt / 50-60Hz
-4 UK Power Supply - 100-240Volt / 50-60Hz
-5 Australia Power Supply - 100-240Volt / 50-60Hz
-6 USB Power Adapter Cable
-8 US/JPN Power Supply - 100-240Volt / 50-60Hz

For power supplies -3, -4, -5 and -8, country/region specific clips are
used to provide the necessary power connection.

Link Propagate (LP)
“LP” generates (transmits) a link signal only when a
link signal is detected. Utilizing this configuration, a
loss of a receive link signal will continue to ‘propagate’
through to the next port in the network. In Figure
2(C), a loss of a receive link on the fiber optic port
causes the UTP port to drop its link due to the
propagated fiber optic link state. This setting allows
the loss of a link to be detected by SNMP or other
managed network devices to which the

miConverter

10/100 Plus is connected.

NOTE: Only the first loss of a receive link detected by
the

miConverter

10/100 Plus turns off the other port’s

transmit link. An additional loss of a receive link on the
other port has no affect on the

miConverter

10/100

Plus. The

miConverter

10/100 Plus

returns to normal

operation when the first loss of a receive link is restored.

Remote Fault Detect + Link Segment (RFD + LS)
“RFD+LS” generates a link signal only when a link
signal is detected. However, instead of propagating
the fault forward, the loss of link is looped back. In
Figure 2(D), a loss of a received link state is looped
back causing the port to stop transmitted the link
state. Because the other unit is configured for Link
Propagate, the UTP port will drop its link due to the
propagated fiber optic link state.

NOTE: It is not permitted to set both Converter A and
B to RFD at the same time; a deadly embrace will
occur.

Symmetrical Fault Detect (SFD)
“SFD” generates a Link Loss signal on all ports on
both media converters when a loss of link signal is
detected by one of the ports. In Figure 2(E), the
pattern of LEDs gives an indication of the failure
point.

NOTE: Both media converters must be configured
with the SFD Link Mode. The SFD function is only
supported by Omnitron Systems equipment.
