Hi,
I have a Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN 5 Port Desktop Switch. I need to use it to convert a SPF+ 1G fibre port to RJ45 copper between two local fixed IP addresses.
I have a host (IP 192.168.0.100) and a client (IP 192.168.0.101) that need to communicate using TCP/IP. I have an existing copper unmanaged switch that I connect these two devices using copper RJ45 and I can establish comms and it all works (a BrainBoxes SW-005).
I did the same using an SPF+ fibre (1GB OM3 LC interface) plugged into port 1, with my computer (the host 192.168.0.100) on the PoE RJ45 port. I was expecting them to connect. But they don't.
I have tried to grapple with the documentation, but I'm a hardware engineer and have little comms experience.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Phil
