Chapter 1  Introduction 
Thank you for choosing the MC100CM/MC110CS Fast Ethernet 
Media Converters
 or the MC111CS/MC112CS WDM Fast Ethernet 
Media Converters
1.1  Overview of the Converter 
MC100CM and MC110CS are Fast Ethernet Media Converters. 
MC111CS and MC112CS are WDM Fast Ethernet Media Converters, 
which adopt WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology 
that increases the information carrying capacity of fiber via multiplex 
transmit and receive signals at different wavelengths on single strand 
cable. You can save half cabling cost when you use MC111CS and 
MC112CS instead of your original dual fiber converter. 
The converter mediates between a 10/100Base-TX segment and a 
100Base-FX segment. It is primarily designed for large, higher 
speed/bandwidth demanding workgroups that require expansion of 
the Fast Ethernet network.
 
The converter also features the LFP (Link Fault Pass through) 
function, and for its procedure illustrates, please refer to the section 1.5.3.
