Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does this media converter integrate with ION platform systems?
A: This ION platform compatible card seamlessly integrates into Transition Networks' ION chassis systems, providing centralized management and monitoring. The media converter supports hot-swapping and unified configuration through the ION management interface for streamlined network operations.
Q: What SFP modules are compatible with the SFP slot?
A: The SFP slot supports standard Fast Ethernet SFP transceivers including multimode and single-mode fiber options. This flexibility allows the 100Base-TX to 100Base-X converter to adapt to various fiber distances and network requirements, from short campus links to extended metropolitan connections.
Q: Can this handle both 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet signals?
A: Yes, this Fast Ethernet media converter supports auto-negotiation for both 10Mbps and 100Mbps operation on the copper side. The 100Base-TX to 100Base-X conversion maintains full compatibility with legacy 10Base-T equipment while providing 100Mbps performance for modern applications.
Q: What are the advantages of chassis-based media conversion?
A: Chassis-based media converter solutions like the C2110 Series provide centralized power, management, and monitoring in a space-efficient design. The ION platform integration offers unified SNMP management, reducing complexity compared to standalone converter units in large network deployments.
