Federal Communications Commission

Radio Frequency Interference Statement . . . . . . . . . . . 7

European Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE) requires that

any equipment that bears this symbol on product

or packaging must not be disposed of with unsorted

municipal waste. This symbol indicates that the equip-

ment should be disposed of separately from regular

household waste. It is the consumer’s responsibility to

dispose of this and all equipment so marked through

designated collection facilities appointed by govern-

ment or local authorities. Following these steps through

proper disposal and recycling will help prevent potential

negative consequences to the environment and human

health. For more detailed information about proper

disposal, please contact local authorities, waste disposal

services, or the point of purchase for this equipment.

Federal Communication Commission Radio

Frequency Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-

tions. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause

harmful interference in which the user will be required to correct the

interference at his own expense.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufac-

turer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The use of non-shielded I/O cables may not guarantee compliance

with FCC RFI limits. This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B

limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio

Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques

dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de classe B

prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le

ministère des Communications du Canada.

About the PC Media Converter (TX/FX)

The McPC (TP-TX/FX) is an IEEE 802.3 single-conversion, 10/100 switch-

ing PC card media converter. It converts 10/100 twisted pair connections

to 100Base-FX 1300 nm multi-mode or 1310 nm single-mode fiber optics.

The fiber port always operates at 100 Mbps FDX; the copper port auto-

senses the connected device’s speed and duplex mode: 10 Mbps or 100

Mbps and HDX or FDX (including Flow Control).

The McPC (TP-TX/FX) can be mounted in any PC with a standard PCI or

ISA slot. It includes diagnostic LEDs for each port and a 4-pin peripheral

power supply connector. The McPC (TP-TX/FX) comes with one RJ-45 con-

nector and one pair of ST or SC connectors.

Installing the McPC (TP-TX/FX)

Offering plug-and-play operation, the McPC (TP-TX/FX) comes ready to

install, utilizing power from the PC’s motherboard. To install the McPC

(TP-TX/FX):

• Turn off the PC.

• Remove its cover.

• Find an empty ISA or PCI slot.

• Align the McPC (TP-TX/FX) in the slot.

• Screw the the McPC (TP-TX/FX) into the computer casing’s bracket.

• Make sure the McPC (TP-TX/FX) does not extend past the edge of

the case.

• Attach the keyed mini-power connector to the McPC (TP-TX/FX).

• Attach the male end of the “Y” connector to one of the computer’s

standard size power connectors.

• Replace the cover.

• Attach the cables between the McPC (TP-TX/FX) and the devices that

will be connected.

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines

Fiber optic equipment is extremely susceptible to contamination by par-

ticles of dirt or dust which can obstruct the optics and cause performance

degradation. Good system performance requires clean optics and connec-

tor ferrules.

1) Only use fiber patch cords (or connectors) from a reputable supplier;

low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose prob-

lems.

2) IMC Networks installs dust caps to ensure factory-clean optical devic-

es. These protective caps should not be removed until the moment

of connecting the fiber cable to the device. Assure that the fiber is

properly terminated, polished and free of any dust or dirt and that the

location is as free from dust and dirt as possible.

3) Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic

bag or box so reinstalled caps do not introduce any contamination to

the optics.

4) Reinstall the protective caps when disconnecting the fiber device.

5) To clean contaminated optics, alternate between blasting with clean,

dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles

of dirt.

Warranty

IMC Networks warrants to the original end-user purchaser that this prod-

uct, EXCLUSIVE OF SOFTWARE, shall be free from defects in materials

and workmanship under normal and proper use in accordance with IMC

Networks’ instructions and directions for a period of six (6) years after the

original date of purchase. This warranty is subject to the limitations set

forth in this section.

WARNING

Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are extremely suscep-

tible to electrostatic discharge damage. Only qualified service techni-

cians using tools and techniques comforming to accepted industry

practices should handle these components.

Twisted Pair Crossover/Straight-Through Connections

The McPC-TP-TX/FX automatically supports both crossover or straight-

through CAT5 twisted pair cabling. This support is achieved by using

Autocross, a feature that detects the connection type of the connected

device.

LED Indicators

Each McPC (TP-TX/FX) includes two LEDs, located on the RJ-45 connec-

tor. LED functions are as follows:

FX LNK/ACT: Glows green when a link is established on the fiber port;

blinks green when activity is detected on the fiber port.

TX LNK/ACT: Glows green when a link is established on the copper

port; blinks green when activity is detected on the copper port.
