C/E-100BTX-FX-05 IN THE NETWORK
Use the media converter (or two media converters in pairs) to connect a
workstation to a remote hub or to connect two hubs, switches, or workstations.
TRANSITION Networks C/E-100BTX-FX-05 100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX media
converters connect 100BASE-TX Ethernet
™
copper cable to 100BASE-FX Ethernet
™
fiber cable.
The default copper connection to the media converter is autocrossed, so that
either straight-through or crossover cable can be used when connecting the media
converter through twisted-pair copper to a device. An internal jumper allows the
autocross feature to be disabled. (See INSTALLATION.).
A four-position switch allows selection of autonegotiation, of half-duplex or fullduplex, and of fault detection/handling.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when installing Media Converter Slide-in-Module in the Media
Conversion Center. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to,
and subsequent failure of, the Media Converter Slide-in-Module.
Optionally Modify Two-Position Jumper Settings
NOTE: Jumpers, located on C/E-100BTX-FX-05 series media converter circuit
boards, are shipped with the default J3 jumper settings
ENABLE Autocross
.
ONLY IF THE SITE REQUIRES JUMPER SETTINGS THAT
DISABLE
AUTOCROSS
SHOULD THE JUMPER SETTINGS BE CHANGED.
ENABLE AUTOCROSS When
Jumper J3 is in the enabled (DEFAULT)
position,
either straight-through or crossover cable can be used when
connecting the media converter through twisted-pair copper to a device. The
media converter determines the characteristics of the cable connection and
automatically configures the media converter to link up with the attached
device.
DISABLE AUTOCROSS When
Jumper J3 is in the disabled position,
straightthrough or crossover cables must be selected and installed according to the
device connected to the media converter
.
(See page 10.)
To optionally set two-position jumper J3:
1. Locate two-position jumper on circuit
board.
2. Using small needle-nosed pliers or
similar device and referring to drawing
for jumper positions, move jumper to
new position.

INSTALLATION (continued)
Set Four-Position Switch
Switches are located at side of Media Converter Slide-in-Module circuit
board.
FOUR-POSITION SWITCH SETTINGS
1 (UP) Advertises 100 Mb/s FULL-DUPLEX ONLY during autonegotiation.
(DOWN) (Used primarily when connecting
to hub.) Operates at 100 Mb/s in duplex
mode of attached device.
2
Applies only if
FULL-DUPLEX
Switch 1 is
UP AND media converter is connected to
autonegotiating device(s) capable of Pause
Control Frame propagation.
(UP) ALLOWS
Pause Control Frame propagation. (See page
7.) (DOWN) Does NOT allow Pause
Control Frame propagation.
3 (UP) Enables Link Pass-Through. (See page
7.) (DOWN) Disables Link Pass-Through.
4 (UP) Enables Far-End Fault. (See page 7.) (DOWN) Disables Far-End Fault.
To set four-position switch:
1. Locate four-position switch at side of circuit board.
2. Using small flatblade screwdriver or similar device and referring to
drawing, set switch according to site requirements.
*When RJ-45 cable is installed at a device that is “hard-set” to a specific
speed and mode, the connecting device may not go through the
autonegotiation sequence. Therefore, set Dip Switch 1 DOWN to run the
Media Converter at the speed and mode of the connecting device.
Install Slide-In-Module in Media Conversion Center Chassis
NOTE : Install Media Converter Slide-in-Modules in any slot, in any order.
To install Media Converter Slide-in-Module:
1 . Remove Media Converter Slide-in-Module protective plate from
selected installation slot by removing screw that secures plate to
Media Conversion Center.
2. Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into installation
slot, aligning with installation guides. NOTE: Ensure that Media
Converter Slide-in-Module is firmly seated against the backplane.
3. Secure Media Converter Slide-in-Module by rotating panel fastener
screw attached to Media Converter Slide-in-Module clockwise.

Install Cable
FIBER
1. Locate or build 802.3 compliant fiber cable with male two-stranded
TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect cable with connector installed at TX location on media
converter to RX location on attached device.
3. Connect cable with connector installed at RX location on media
converter to TX location on attached device.
COPPER
NOTE: Do NOT exceed 100 meters distance on twisted-pair cable runs.
1. Locate or build IEEE 802.3 compliant straight-through* twisted-pair
copper cables (if the default autocross jumper configuration is
used), with male RJ-45 plug connectors at both ends.
2. Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at one end of cable to media
converter RJ-45 jack connector.
3. Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of cable to DTE
terminal device or hub RJ-45 jack connector.
*If the default autocross jumper configuration (see page 3) is NOT used,
install crossover twisted-pair copper cable between the media converter
and a terminal device and install straight-through twisted-pair copper
cable between the media converter and a hub. (See page 6.)
Power the Slide-In-Module
NOTE: The Slide-In-Module is powered through the Media Conversion
Center.
