Introduction

Transition Networks CBFTF10xx-10x two-port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet bridging media converter connects
10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet twisted-pair copper network devices to network devices
on a 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet fiber network.

The CBFTF10xx-10x provides an interface between 10/100Base-TX ports and 100Base-FX ports, allowing
you to integrate fiber optic cabling into 10/100Base-TX copper environments. Operating at Layer 2, this
converter not only converts copper to fiber, but it also does Rate Conversion, converting 10/100 copper
to 100Base fiber.

Set 6-position DIP Switch
(SW2)

The 6-position DIP switch (SW2) is located
located on the edge of the PCB. Use a
small flat blade screwdriver to set the
recessed switches. See below for the
individual switch settings.

1. Auto-Negotiation

up Enables Auto-Negotiation on the copper port.
Advertises the setting of switches 2 and 3.
down Disables Auto-Negotiation on the copper port. Forces the setting of switches 2 and 3.

2. Speed (only functions whan Switch 1 is Down)
up 100 Mb/s operation on the copper port.
down 10 Mb/s operation on the copper port.

3. Copper Mode Duplex (only functions whan Switch 1 is Down)
up full duplex operation on the copper port.
down half duplex operation on the copper port.

(Parallel detection only with Auto-Negotiation enabled and linked to nonnegotiatingdevice)

up Parallel detects in IEEE standard half duplex.
down Non-standard full duplex.

4. Fiber Mode

up Forces full duplex operation on the fiber port.
down Forces half duplex operation on the fiber port.

5. Far-End Fault (FEF)

up FEF Enabled
down FEF Disabled

6. Link Pass Through (LPT)

up LPT Enabled
down LPT Disabled

Hardware/Software Mode Jumper (J4)

The jumpers are located on the media converter circuit board. Use a small
needlenosed pliers or a similar tool to set the jumper.

The Hardware/Software jumper is labeled “H” for hardware and “S” for
software.

Software: The media converter mode is determined by the most-recently
saved on-board settings.
Hardware: The media converter mode is determined by the 6-position switch settings listed above.

Install the Slide-in-Module

To install the CBFTF10xx-105 media converter slide-in module:

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

2. Carefully slide the module into the installation slot, aligning the module with the installation guides.

3. Ensure that the module is firmly seated inside the chassis.

4. Push in and rotate the panel fastener screw to secure the module to the chassis front.
