Chapter 6 INSTALLING THE CONVERTER 6.1 Stand-alone Installation FT-1105A / FT-1205A is with high reliability and flexibility to extend the distance up to 2Km, 20Km, or longer. It depends on the 100Base-FX SFP transceiver modules. The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug-in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port without having to power down the converter. To install a FT-1105A / FT-1205A stand-alone, on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following s

It recommends using PLANET MFB-FX series 100Base-FX SFP on the converter. If you insert a SFP transceiver that is not supported, the Note converter will not recognize it. Step 4: Connect the fiber cable. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable into the SFP transceiver. Step 5: Attach fiber cable from the FT-1105A/FT-1205A to the fiber network. TX, RX must be paired at both ends. Step 6: Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the FT-1105A/FT- 1205A and verify that the Power LED lights

Chapter 7 Redundancy The FT-1105A / FT-1205A provide less than 10ms link redundancy for highly critical Ethernet applications. The redundant-mode supports auto-recover function. If the destination port of a packet is link down, it forwards the packet to the other port of the backup pair. The following figure shows the redundant function. Redundancy < Primary Port > Main Primary Link Status : Up Traffic Flow : Forwarding Backup < Backup Port > Link Status : Up Traffic Flow : Blocking Redun

Chapter 8 Loop Back Reply The FT-1105A / FT-1205A supports auto loop back reply while receive loop back test packets on fiber port. Enable this function to tell the converter to reply fiber signals request from Web Smart media converter, such as PLANET FT-90x. You can use this to check whether the converter can communicate with partner converter. Please refer to the following figure. For FT-1105A only, while enable the Loop Back Reply function, the Port-2 (TP) must be link up. Note 1
