Transition Networks CCSCF30xx-10x series media
converters encode and decode DS3 or E3 coax
copper signals over fiber optic cable to extend the
distance and transmission reliability of high-speed
DS3 or E3 data traffic. The CCSCF30xx-10x,
which is designed to be installed in a Transition
Networks PointSystem™ chassis, also connects
remote locations via T3/E3 cable.

Installation
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic dischargeprecautions when setting the jumpers. Failure to observe this caution could result
in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the media converter.
Set the Hardware/Software Jumper (J3)
The hardware/software jumper is located on the circuit board of the media
converter. Use a small needle-nose pliers or similar device to move the jumper
to the desired position.
HardwareThe media converter mode is determined
by the switch settings.
H
Hardware Mode
SoftwareThe media converter mode is determined
by the most-recently saved, on-board
microprocessor settings.
H
Software Mode
Set the Coax Grounding Jumpers (J11 & J12) (Optional)
NOTE: Modify the settings for J11 and J12 only if necessary.
Jumpers 11 and 12 (located on the circuit board near the coax ports) provide a
grounding feature so that the CCSCF30xx-10x media converter complies with
the G.703 specification where:
• The output coax port is connected to chassis ground.
• A provision to connect the input coax port to chassis ground is provided.
The factory settings for these two jumpers are:
Jumper 12 (jumpered)= Output coax port is connected to chassis ground.
Jumper 11 (not-jumpered) = Input coax port is not connected to chassis ground.

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic dischargeprecautions when setting the configuration switches. Failure to observe this
caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the media
converter.
Set the Configuration Switches
The configuration switches are located on the media converter circuit board.
Use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to set the recessed switches.
1
Switch 1 -- Select DS3 or E3
up - Supports a DS3 interface.
down - Supports a E3 interface.
Switch 2 -- Coax Line Build Out (DS3 only)
up - The DS3 line is set up to operate at distances up to
225 ft. (68.6 m).
down - The DS3 line is set up to operate at distances
greater than 225 ft. (68.6 m).
Switch 3 -- Signal on Loss of Carrier
up - Transmits an alarm indication signal (AIS) on the loss
of the input carrier (unframed).
down - No signal is transmitted on the loss of the input
carrier (unframed).
Switch 4 -- Alarm Indication Signal (AIS)
up - AIS is defined as a pattern of alternating 1’s and 0’s
(unframed).
down - AIS is defined as a pattern of all 1’s (unframed).

Power the Media Converter
The media converter is powered through the Transition
Network’s PointSystem™ chassis.
Operation
After installation, the media converter should function without
operator intervention. Use the status LEDs to monitor the media
converter operation in the network.

SNMP
See the on-line documentation that comes with Transition Networks
FocalPoint™ software for applicable commands and usage.
Use SNMP at an attached terminal or at a remote location to monitor the
media converter by monitoring:
•Media converter power
•Line build-out
•DS3 / T3 / E3 mode
•Coax link and fiber link status (local and/or remote)
•Coax loop-back and fiber loop-back status (local only)
•AIS detected on coax link and fiber link (local and/or remote)
•Hardware/software mode
Also, use SNMP to enter network commands that:
•Enable/disable loop-back on the copper link (local only)
•Enable/disable loop-back on the fiber link (local only)

6.Is Data Transfer Failing?
YES
•Verify the local copper connection by starting a local copper loopback (set the loop-back switch on the local media converter to “CL”)
and then use a bit error test unit at the local location to run a bit error
test.
•Verify the local fiber connection by starting a local fiber loop-back atthe remote location (set the loop-back switch on the remote media
converter to “FL”) and then use a bit error test unit at the locallocation to run a bit error test.
•Verify the remote copper connection by starting a local copper loopback at the remote location (set the loop-back switch on the remote
media converter to “CL”) and then use a bit error test unit at the
remote location to run a bit error test.
7.Is the SDC (Signal Detect / Coax) LED illuminated yellow?
YES
•A failure of the remote unit connected to the coax interface has
caused an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) on the coax interface.
Correct the remote unit failure.
