GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

1 FXE-1501 Fiber Ethernet Transceiver

1.1 Introduction

The FXE-1501 provides distribution of Ethernet signals using optical fiber. It incorporates a bi-directional 10/100/1000
Base-T Ethernet to 1000 Base SX/LX fiber converter and transceiver. The Ethernet UTP port incorporates auto speed
negotiation, auto-crossover for MDI/MDI-X, and full or half duplex. Speed and activity indicators are provided for this
port on the rear panel. The card supports a Lost Link Forwarding (LLF) functionality. Link activity is provided for this
port on the rear panel.

Housed in a Densité frame and easily controllable via the iControl software or the frame controller menu, the FXE­1501 occupies only one slot.

1.2 Features

• 10/100/1000BHase-T Ethernet to fiber

• Fiber interface on SFP module for maximum flexibility

• Supports LLF (Lost Link Forwarding)

• Auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Base-T on the UTP port

• Auto-crossover for MDI/MDI-X on the UTP port

• Full or half-duplex on the UTP port

• Speed and Link Activity LEDs on the rear connector panel for the UTP port

• Link activity status LED on the rear panel for the optical interface

• Single slot in a Densité frame

2.1 Unpacking

Make sure the following items have been shipped with your FXE-1501. If any of the following items are missing,
contact your distributor or Miranda Technologies Inc.

• FXE-1501 Fiber Ethernet Transceiver

• FXE-1501-SRP Rear Panel (see figure 2.1)

2.2 Installation in the Densité frame

The FXE-1501 and its associated rear connector rear panel are designed for installation in a Densité 2 frame. It is not
necessary to switch off the frame’s power when installing or removing the card.

• With the use of available adapters, this card and its associated rear panel can be installed in a Densité 3 frame.
See the Densité 3 frame manual for details.

2.3 Rear Connector Panel

The FXE-1501-SRP single-slot rear panel, mounted in a Densité 2 or Densité 3 frame, incorporates these connectors:

• One socket for inserting a fiber transm itter/r ec eiver SFP module

• One RJ-45 for connection to the ethernet

It also incorporates status indicators for:
Ethernet Activity: integrated into the RJ45 plug
Ethernet GigE: integrated into the RJ45 plug
Fiber Link Activity: beside the optical SFP socket
