* Note: The use of either multi-mode or single-mode fiber to operate at 100Mbps speed

over long distances (i.e., over approx. 400 meters) can be achieved only if the following

factors are both applied:

• The 100Mb fiber segment must operate in full-duplex (FDX) mode, and

• The worst-case OPB of the fiber link must be greater than the fiber cable’s

passive Attenuation.

(Attenuation = Cable loss + LED aging loss + Insertion loss + safety factor)

3.8.7 Connections to NICs which support Auto-Negotiation

The copper ports of Magnum CS14-Sereis Converter Switches will function

properly with NICs (Network Interface Cards) which support Auto-Negotiation, and the

Fast Link Pulse (FLP) coding for the 100BASE-TX signaling system. When connecting a

NIC to the CS14-Sereis, it may be necessary to reload the NIC drivers on the user device if

the NIC has been communicating with a protocol other than 100BASE-TX (such as

10BASE-T). When 100Mb operation is agreed and in use, the 10/100 LED is illuminated

steady ON and is OFF, if 10 Mbps traffic.
