Product Features

Full-Duplex Network

In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type of cables that are used. See pages 1 and 2 for the cable specifications for the

different CBFTF10xx-14x models.

The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex network.

Half-Duplex Network (512-Bit Rule)

In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the round trip delay limitations of each Fast Ethernet collision domain. (A collision domain is the longest path between any two terminal devices, e.g. a terminal, switch, or router.)

The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by calculating the round-trip delay in bit-times (BT) of a particular collision domain. If the result is less than or equal to 512 BT, the path is good.

For more information on the 512-Bit Rule, see the white paper titled “Collision Domains” on the Transition Networks website at: www.transition.com.

Distance Extension

The CBFTF10xx-14x 6-point bridging media converter segments up to four (4) 10Base-T copper Ethernet and/or 100Base-TX copper Fast Ethernet and up to two (2) 100Base-FX fiber Fast Ethernet collision domains.

In a half-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the CBFTF10xx-14x media converter extends network distances by segmenting collision domains so that the 512-Bit Rule applies separately to each collision domain (see page

9).

In a full-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the CBFTF10xx-14x media converter extends network distances to the physical cable limitations imposed by the selected twisted-pair copper fiber cables (see pages 1 and 2).

Rate Conversion

The CBFTF10xx-14x media converter allows connection of 10Mb/s terminal devices on a 10Base-T legacy Ethernet copper network to 100Mb/s terminal devices on a 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet copper network and/or to 100Mb/s terminal devices on a 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet fiber network.

Congestion Reduction

The CBFTF10xx-14x media converter does not forward collision signals or error packets from one collision domain to another, improving baseline network performance. In addition, the media converter filters packets destined for local devices, also reducing network congestion.

Auto-Negotiation

The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the CBFTF10xx-14x media converter to automatically configure itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link. The media converter broadcasts its speed (10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s) and duplex capabilities (full or half) to the other devices and negotiates the best mode of operation. Auto-Negotiation allows quick and easy installation because the optimal link is established automatically.

A scenario where the media converter is linked to a non-negotiating device is a case where the user may want to disable Auto-Negotiation. In this instance, the mode of operation will drop to the least common denominator between the two devices (e.g.: 10 Mb/s, half-duplex). Disabling this feature gives the user the ability to force the connection to the desired speed and duplex mode of operation.

Product Features -- Continued

AutoCross™

When the AutoCross feature is activated, it allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) copper cables to be used when connecting to 10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices. AutoCross determines the characteristics of the connection and automatically configures the unit to link up, regardless if the copper cable is MDI or MDI-X configuration. (Transition networks recommends leaving the device in the default “enable” mode.)

Fiber Redundancy

The CBFTF10xx-14x media converter provides stable and affordable Fiber Redundancy in highly critical Ethernet and Fast Ethernet segments.

When the redundancy feature is enabled, only one fiber connection (primary) is active at a time. This primary connection is in the forwarding stage while the other fiber connection (secondary) is put in the disabled state.

When failure on the primary fiber connection occurs, it is detected by a converter. The secondary connection is activated and becomes the primary link. The original fiber link is put in the disabled state and becomes secondary until the failure on primary fiber connection occurs.

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

• Copper link and fiber link status

• Copper port speed

• Hardware switch settings

Also, use SNMP to enter network commands that:

• Enable/disable Auto-Negotiation on copper

• Force 10Mb/s or 100Mb/s on copper

• Force full-duplex or half-duplex on copper and/or fiber

• Enable/disable pause and source address change

• Enable/disable monitor port (advanced filters available)

• Select advertised modes (when Auto-Negotiation is enabled)

Product is certified by the manufacturer to comply with DHHS Rule 21/CFR, Subchapter J applicable at the date of manufacture.

CAUTION: Visible and invisible laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam or view directly with optical instruments.

CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Troubleshooting

If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the failure by determining the answers to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:

1. Is the power LED on the media converter illuminated? NO

• Is the media converter slide-in-module installed properly in the

chassis?

• Is the power cord properly installed in the chassis and at the external

power source?

• Does the external power source provide power?

• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312,

International: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

• Proceed to step 2.

2. Is the “Duplex/Link” LED illuminated on a port with twisted-pair cable installed? NO

• Check the copper cables for proper connection.

• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312,

International: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

• Amber = The media converter has selected half-duplex mode.

• Green = The media converter has selected full-duplex mode.

• If the mode is not correct, disconnect and reconnect the twisted pair

cable to restart the initialization process.

• Proceed to step 3.

3. Is the “LACT” LED illuminated on a port with fiber cable installed? NO

• Check the fiber cables for proper connection.
