C4TEF10xx-10x
Slide-in-Module Media Converter
• RS-232 to Fiber
• (4) T1/E1 to Fiber
The C4TEF10xx-10x media converter is
designed to be installed into a Transition
Networks PointSystem™ chassis and can
extend signals from an RS-232 data port
and up to four (4) T1/E1 network ports
over fiber. The RS-232 and T1/E1
interfaces are independent of each other
and the signals from these ports can be
sent over the fiber interface
simultaneously.
The C4TEF10xx-10x is designed to be
installed in pairs. For example, install one C4TEF1011-100 as the local media
converter and another C4TEF1011-100 as the remote media converter.
All C4TEF10xx-10x models have the following copper connectors:
The various fiber connectors are available on separate models. Both duplex and
single mode fiber optic converters are available:

where one is the local converter and the other is the remote converter.
Installation
NOTE: Due to proprietary communication over fiber, the C4TEF10xx-10x is
required to be installed in pairs, where one is the local converter and the other is
the remote converter.
Copper and Fiber Ports
The figure below illustrates the locations of the fiber port, the RS-232 port, and
the four (4) T1/E1 ports.
NOTE: An RS-232 cable with a 6-pin DIN connector and a DB-9 connector is
included with the C4TEF10xx-10x media converter.

Configuration Switches
The C4TEF10xx-10x media converter has two (2) sets of configuration switches.
• Set #1 is on the upper circuit board and sets the T1/E1 options.
• Set #2 is on the lower circuit board and sets the serial options.
Use a flat blade screwdriver to set the switches as shown:
Switch Set #1 - T1/E1 Options
1, 2, 3, 4 - Line Settings
Switches 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used to setup the line settings for the T1/E1 ports. The
selected setting applies to all four (4) T1/E1 channels.
Switch Set #1: T1/E1 Options
Switch Set #2: Serial O

Switch Set #1 - T1/E1 Options
5, 6, 7, 8 - Loop-Back Settings
The loop-back setting is used for installation and network debugging procedures.
Each of the T1/E1 ports can be individually set for loop-back mode:
• Switch 5 controls T1/E1 port 1
• Switch 6 controls T1/E1 port 2
• Switch 7 controls T1/E1 port 3
• Switch 8 controls T1/E1 port 4
When the loop-back switch for a particular T1/E1 port is enabled, the port loops
the signal from the receive port back to the transmit port. The loop-back test
scenarios are described in detail on page 18.

Hardware/Software Jumper
• The hardware/software header J11 is
located on the circuit board.
• Use a small needle-nose pliers to
change the jumper position—currently
in the software position.
Install the Slide-in-Module
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when installing the C4TEF10xx-10x slide-in-module media
converter. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and
subsequent failure of, the slide-in-module.
1. Carefully slide the slide-in-module into two adjacent installation slots,
aligning the module with the installation guides.
2. Ensure that the module is firmly seated inside the chassis.
3. Push in and rotate the panel fastener screw clockwise to secure the
module to the chassis front.
Hardware The media converter mode is determined by
the switch settings (see pages 3 - 6).
Software The media converter mode is determined by
the most-recently saved, on-board
microprocessor settings.
