INSTALLATION -- Continued
Install the Twisted-Pair Copper Cable
1. Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 10Base-T or 100Base-TX cables,
with straight-through RJ-45 cable, and with straight-through RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port
connector on the Media Converter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
port connector on the other device (switch, workstation, etc.).
NOTE: The MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover) cable connection is
configured automatically, according to the network conditions.

Install the Fiber Cable
1. Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 100Base-FX fiber cable with
male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the CBFTF10xx-15x Media Converter as
described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector the female TX connector.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX connector.
3. Connect the fiber cables to the other device (another Media Converter,
hub, etc.) as described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector the female RX connector.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX connector.

Power the Media Converter
The CBFTF10xx-15x Slide-in-Module Media Converter is powered through the
Point System™ chassis.
OPERATION
Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs to monitor the Media
Converter and the network connections.
FDPX (Fiber Duplex)
ON = full-duplex fiber connection.
Blinking = half-duplex fiber connection.
FLNK (Fiber Link)
ON = fiber link connection.
Blinking = fiber network activity.
PWR (Power)
ON = connection to external AC power.
TSPD (Twisted-Pair Speed)
ON = 100 Mb/s.
Blinking = 10 Mb/s.
TDPX (Twisted-Pair Duplex)
ON = full-duplex copper connection.
LED off = half-duplex copper connection.
TLKN(Twisted-Pair Link)
ON = copper link connection.
Blinking = copper network activity.
