POINT-TO-POINT ACCESS
Designed to be used in pairs in a network topolo-
gy to provide point-to-point access, the AT-FS238
media converter is a 10/100Mbps copper to sin-
gle-mode fiber media converter which can send
and receive on single strand fiber (1310nm
TX/1550nm RX or 1550nm TX/1310nm RX).The
AT-FS238 converts 10/100TX (RJ-45) to 100FX
(SC) and can extend distances up to 40km. Easy to
install and requiring no software configuration, the
compact, rack-mountable AT-FS238 comes with a
choice of external power supplies. And, finally, both
ports feature full- and half-duplex operation.
AUTO MDI, MDI-X
The AT-FS238 media converter features automatic
MDI/ MDI-X.The 10/100TX (RJ-45) port deter-
mines the configuration of the ports on connected
device and then configures itself.This feature
enables users to use either crossover cables or
straight-through cables when connecting device to
the copper port.
SMART MISSING LINK™ (SML)
The Missing Link feature allows the ports on the
media converter to pass the Link status of their
connections to each other. When the media con-
verter detects a problem with a port—such as the
loss of connection to a node—it shuts down the
connection to the other port, thereby notifying the
node that the connection has been lost.The AT-
FS238 also features Smart Missing Link™ (SML)—
a feature that monitors network connections and
provides notification when network segments fail,
allowing network managers to quickly identify the
source and location of failed segments and 
minimize downtime.
