Sectio n 1: Over view

The AL2100 (Figure 2) contains a physical layer interface (PHY) for 100BASE-TX and a PHY for 100BASE-FX networks.

The PHY contains all the necessary functions such as elastic store, quantizer, and driver circuits to complete a media

converter design. The device converts the MLT3 scrambled symbols from the twisted-pair (TP) input port into 4B5B NRZI

encoded data, and transmits it over fiber media. The 4B5B NRZI encoded data from the fiber-input port is converted to a

scrambled MLT3 symbol stream for TP transmission.

The device also supports far-end fault detection (fiber-only) and link status propagation. If any port is in a link-fail state, the

device ceases to transmit data, and disables the appropriate output port. The device is transparent in regard to the

connecting links. The media converter uses an elastic store to retime the received signal.

The AL2100 supports redundant link applications. A redundant link can be formed by either a switch with a 100BASE-FX

transceiver that supports far-end fault signaling or two AL2100s. In the event of a link failure, the redundant link is established

automatically.
