Frequently Asked Questions - EL100T-20 EtherWAN

How do I install the EL100T-20 media converter?
Place the converter in a location avoiding extreme temperatures, humidity, and EMI. Connect the power adaptor to the rear panel, then plug into a standard AC outlet. For chassis installation, use the supplied carrier and insert into an expansion slot.
What do the LED indicators mean?
PWR: steady = power on, off = no power. 100 (Mbps): steady = 100Mbps connection, off = 10Mbps. LNK/ACT: steady = valid link, flashing = activity. FDX/COL: steady = full duplex, flashing = collision, off = half duplex.
How do I configure the DIP switches?
Disconnect power before adjusting DIP switches. Switch 1 enables/disables LFPT. Switch 2 selects auto-negotiation or forced mode. Switches 3-5 set speed/duplex for TX and FX. Switch 6 selects store-and-forward or converter mode. Default all down.
What is Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT)?
LFPT propagates a link fault across the connection. If the TX link fails, the converter forces the fiber link down, signaling the remote device. Both converters in a pair must support and enable LFPT.
Can I use this converter with single-mode fiber?
Yes, the EL100T-20 supports single-mode fiber using SC or ST connectors. Ensure you select the appropriate fiber type for your distance requirements.
What is the maximum distance for multi-mode fiber?
For multi-mode fiber (typically 62.5/125µm or 50/125µm), the maximum distance is 2 km for 100Base-FX. Single-mode can reach up to 20 km or more depending on the specific optics.
How do I troubleshoot a link failure?
Check power LED; ensure cable connectors are secure; verify fiber type and polarity; ensure DIP switch settings match the network (auto-negotiation vs forced); try a known-working fiber cable; confirm the remote device is configured correctly.
What safety precautions should I take?
Avoid opening the device; do not look directly into fiber ports (Class 1 Laser); use only the supplied power adaptor; keep away from water and extreme temperatures; disconnect power when changing DIP switches.
Is the EL100T-20 compatible with other EtherWAN chassis?
Yes, it is designed for the EtherWAN EMC1600 chassis. Use the carrier supplied with the chassis for proper installation and backplane connection.
Can I repair the device myself?
No user-serviceable parts inside. For repairs or spare parts (power adaptor, carriers), contact EtherWAN support or your distributor. Refer to warranty at www.etherwan.com.

Introduction

EL100 / EL200 Media Converter

10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Media Converter

10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-BX WDM Media Converter

The EL100 / EL200 Series provide media conversion between 10/100BASE-T(X) and 100BASE-FX Fiber. Easy plug-and-play design facilitates network infrastructure construction. Through DIP switch selection, Link-Fault-Pass-Through (LFPT) function can be activated or disabled.

The EL100 series is designed for SC or ST fiber connection applications, while the EL200 series is designed for WDM fiber connection. These commercial grade media converters support the EtherWAN EMC1600 chassis system for easy group installation.

Unpacking

Open the carton and unpack the items. Your package should include an EL100 or EL200 media converter, and this Quick Install Guide. If items are missing or damaged, notify your EtherWAN representative.

Select Installation Location

Place the equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements:

  • The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 113 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 45 degrees Celsius).
  • The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
  • Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
  • Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the equipment.
  • The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.

Chassis Installation

The converter can be installed into any of the expansion slots in a compatible chassis.

• Install the converter onto a carrier supplied with the chassis.

- Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis.

• Fit the converter onto the carrier, and insert the carrier to the guide rails of the expansion slot.

- Tighten the retaining screws to fix the carrier in the chassis.

NOTE: Never insert any converter into the chassis directly without using the supplied carriers.

The carriers allow secure and consistent placement of the converters into the chassis' backplane without causing any damage.

Connect Power

This Converter is a plug-and-play device. Connect the supplied AC to DC power adaptor to the receptacle on the rear panel of the converter, and then attach the plug into a standard AC outlet.

If installing into a chassis, then no additional power connection is required.

Ports and Port Settings

The EL100 provides one TX port and one FX/BX port. For the FX/BX port, it provides options of: Multi-mode fiber using SC, ST, VF-45, MT-RJ or LC connector or Single-mode fiber using SC or ST connector.

The TX port uses RJ-45 connector and auto senses the speed of 10/100Mbps. The EL200 provides a WDM-A/B fiber port.

Port settings are made by means of a DIP (Dual Inline Package) switch at the rear panel of the module.

DIP Switches

There are six pins on the DIP switch for port settings. Refer to the table below for more details.

DIPSwitchNo.DownUp
1Enable LFPT (link-fault-pass-through)Disable LFPT (link-fault-pass-through)
2Enable auto negotiation for TX portEnable forced mode for TX port
3TX port forced to 100MbpsTX port forced to 10Mbps
4TX port forced to full duplex modeTX port forced to half duplex mode
5FX port forced to full duplex modeFX port forced to half duplex mode
6Store-and-forward modeConverter mode

The default settings for all six dip switches are "Down".

Disconnect the converter from the power source before changing any of the DIP switch settings.

NOTE: In order for converter mode to work, both TX and FX must be set to the same speed. Otherwise, the device will automatically switch to store-and-forward mode.

LFPT (Link Fault Pass Through) is a feature that will pass a link fault through the device at each segment. If either of the copper TX links fail, the media converter will pass the fail state on throughout the link, taking down the middle fiber as well as the copper link on the opposite end. This prevents the connected switches from sending packets that would end up lost. LFTP is designed for use with media converters arranged in pairs, and both devices must support LFPT.
