Allied Telesis AT-FS202-20 Network Media Converter Networking

Extend Networks
The FS200 series switches are the ideal solution
when the time comes to upgrade your
traditional 10Mbps Ethernet network or extend
your 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network.The
FS200 series is designed to extend the distance
of your network by converting Fast Ethernet
data between twisted pair cabling and singlemode
fiber-optic cabling.The AT-FS200 features
a 100FX fiber-port and a 10/100TX twisted-pair
port.The fiber-optic port features an SC
connector and an operating distance of 2
kilometers (6,561 feet) to 40 kilometers (24.9
miles) depending on the model.The twisted-pair
port has an RJ-45 connector with a maximum
operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).

VLAN Support
Many new backbone switch products now
support the industry standard IEEE 802.1Q
specification for Virtual LANs (VLANs) that
send extra-long data packets on the
network.The FS200 switches are fully
compatible with these long packets, enabling
them to be used in modern networks. Switches
not supporting this feature will discard these
extra long packets, making them unsuitable for
modern networks.

Small and Flexible
The small size and external power supply of the
FS200 series allows them to be used almost
anywhere. Additionally, they can be mounted in
a chassis along with Allied Telesis’ media
converters, allowing users to construct any mix
of network conversions when they add the
optional redundant power supply.
MissingLinkTM and Smart

MissingLinkTM (SML)
The MissingLinkTM feature allows the ports on
the media converter to pass the Link status of
their connections to each other.When the
media converter 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 Smart MissingLink™ (SML)
feature monitors network connections and
provides notification when network segments
fails, allowing network managers to quickly
identify the source and location of failed
segments and minimize downtime.
