Allied Telesyn AT MX10

Allied Telesyn AT MX10 ... connect directly to the workstation, bringing thin Ethernet or Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) wiring directly to the workstation. With UTP and inexpensive coax network media, distances up to 100 meters between workstations can be supported using UTP, and up to 185 meters using coax. The 10Base-2 compliant AT-MX10 transceiver uses an industry-standard Ethernet transceiver chip that guarantees IEEE 802.3 compliance.

On all models Signal Quality Error (SQE)/Heartbeat test can easily be enabled or disabled via an externally accessible switch. Additionally, all models have integral jabber lock-up prevention circuitry and a loopback function. This function emulates coaxial media where transmitted packets are looped back to the receive side. Local Area Network (LAN) controllers can use the loopback feature to determine if a Media Attachment Unit (MAU) is connected and operational. SQE/Heartbeat test status is indicated by LEDs on the AT-MX10 transceiver. It also utilizes a two-colored LED that indicates the presence of Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) power in addition to the SQE test.
