INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when setting the 4-position switch and the jumper(s) and when installing the Slide-in-Module. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the Media Converter.

Set the 4-Position Switch

The 4-position switch is located on the side of the Media Converter. Use a small flatblade screwdriver or a similar device to set the recessed switches. Refer to the drawing for the locations of the four individual switches.

1. Auto-Negotiation

UP Enables Auto-Negotiation on the copper port.

Advertises 100 Mb/s full-duplex and half duplex, and 10 Mb/s full-duplex and half duplex.

DOWN Disables Auto-Negotiation on the copper port.

2. Copper Mode

(Applies only if switch 1 is DOWN.) UP Forces full-duplex operation on the copper port. DOWN Forces half-duplex operation on the copper port.

3. Speed

(Applies only if switch 1 is DOWN.) UP Forces 100 Mb/s operation on the copper port. DOWN Forces 10 Mb/s operation on the copper port.

4. Fiber Mode

UP Forces full-duplex operation on the fiber port. DOWN Forces half-duplex operation on the fiber port.

Set the Jumpers

The jumpers are located on the Media Converter circuit board. Use small needle-nosed pliers or a similar device to set the jumper.

The Hardware/Software jumper is labeled “H” for hardware and “S” for software (see the drawing below).

Hardware The Media Converter mode is determined by

the 4-position switch settings listed above.

Software The Media Converter mode is determined by

the most-recently saved, on-board microprocessor settings.

The Far-End Fault jumper is labeled “FE” for enable Far-End Fault and “FD” for disable Far-End Fault (see the drawing below).

Enable A fault on the fiber link causes the Media

Converter to transmit a Far-End Fault signal.

Disable No Far-End Fault signal is transmitted when a

fault occurs.

Installing the Slide-In-Module

CAUTION: Slots in the PointSystem™ Chassis without a Slide-in-Module installed MUST have a protective plate covering the empty slot for Class A and/or Class B compliance.

To install the CGETF10xx-15x Media Converter Slide-in-Module:

1. Locate an empty installation slot on the PointSystem™ Chassis.

2. Carefully slide the Slide-in-Module into the installation slot, aligning the Slide-in-Module with the installation guides.

3. Ensure that the Slide-in-Module is firmly seated against the back of the chassis.

4. Secure the Slide-in-Module by securing the panel fastener screw (attached to the Slide-in-Module) to the chassis front.

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.

Converter

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)
