Installation

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when setting the jumper and the 4-position switch and when installing the CGETF10xx-10x media converter into the PointSystem™ chassis. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the media converter.

Set the 3-position jumper

• The jumper is located on the media converter circuit board.

• Use small needle-nosed pliers or a similar device to set the jumper.

• Refer to the drawing below for the jumper positions.

Hardware The media converter mode is

determined by the 4-position switch settings (as described on page 3).

Software The media converter mode is

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

Installation -- Continued

Set the 4-position switch

• The 4-position switch is located on the side of the media converter.

• Use a small flat blade screwdriver to set the recessed switches.

1. Twisted-Pair Full/Half Duplex Mode

up = Full-Duplex on the copper link (see page 6). down = Half-Duplex on the copper link (see page 6).

2. Pause

up = Enable Pause (see page 7). down = Disable Pause.

3. Link Pass-Through

up = Enable Link Pass-Through (see page 6). down = Disable Link Pass-Through.

4. Fiber Auto-Negotiation

up = Disable Auto-Negotiation for the fiber link (default setting). down = Enable Auto-Negotiation for the fiber link.

If the CGETF10xx-10x is connected via fiber to another CGETF10xx-10x, both media converters must have the fiber Auto-Negotiation setting disabled (switch 4 = up). Otherwise, the fiber-linked media converters will not link up.

When Fiber Auto-Negotiation is disabled (default setting): Switches 1, 2 and 3 will function only if Fiber Auto-Negotiation is disabled. The settings for Twisted-Pair Full/Half Duplex, Pause, and Link Pass-Through can be set as needed using switches 1, 2 and 3.

When Fiber Auto-Negotiation is enabled: Switches 1, 2, and 3 will not function and the media converter adopts the settings for Twisted-Pair Full/Half Duplex, Pause, and Link Pass-Through from the media converter at the other end of the fiber cable.

Fiber Auto-Negotiation allows the fiber interface to detect and subsequently advertise the support abilities from the remote device. It is supported only when the fiber is connected to a device with a negotiating port. The process is as follows:

1. The fiber interface detects the support abilities from the remote partner.

2. These abilities are passed to the twisted-pair interface and advertised.

3. Once the twisted-pair interface has a link at the highest common ability, it passes the result to the fiber interface.

4. The fiber interfaces then start advertising these abilities. At this point, the link between the fiber and the negotiating port is complete.

Copper Mode: up = Full Duplex

Pause: up = Enable

Link Pass-Through: up = Enable

Fiber Auto-Negotiation: up = Disable

Installation -- Continued

Install 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 compliance.

To install the CGETF10xx-10x 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 module with the installation guides.

3. Ensure that the slide-in-module is firmly seated inside the chassis.

4. Push in and rotate the panel fastener screw (attached to the slide-in- module) clockwise to secure the slide-in-module to the chassis front.

Install the Fiber Cable

1. Locate or build 1000Base-SX/LX compliant fiber cable with male, twostranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.

2. Connect the fiber cables to the CGETF10xx-10x media converter as described:

• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.

• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.

3. Connect the fiber cables to the other device (another media converter, hub, etc.) as described:

• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.

• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.
