Slide-in-Module Media Converter

RS-485/422 Copper to Fiber

Transition Networks CRS4Fxxxx-100
series media converters are designed
to be installed in the PointSystem™
chassis and connect RS-485/422
copper cable to fiber-optic cable at
asynchronous data rates upto1.25
Mb/s

The CRS4F31xx-100 media converters use a male DB-9 port for the copper link:

The CRS4F32xx-100 media converters use a 6-position terminal block for the
copper link:

* Maximum cable distance is 1200m

(4000’) @ <90 kb/s decreasing
logarithmically to 92m (300’) @ 500 kb/s.

**Typical maximum cable distance.

Actual distance is dependent upon the
physical characteristics of the network
installation.

Installation

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when setting the switches. Failure to observe this caution could
result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the media converter.

Set the 6-Position Switch

The 6-position switch is located on the side of the media converter. Use a
small flat-blade screwdriver or a similar device to set the recessed switches.
Refer to the drawing for the locations of the six individual switches.

Switch 1 - 130 ohm resistor on “receive”

up = Disable.
down = Enable. (Switch 5 must also be set to “4-wire” (down).)

When enabled, switch 1 inserts a 130 ohm resistor on the wire pair:

• Receive (-) (B) RS-485 4-wire, receive (-) RS-422 and

• Receive (+) (A) RS-485 4-wire, receive (+) RS-422.

Switch 2 - 130 ohm resistor on “transmit”

up = Disable.
down = Enable. (Switch 5 must also be set to “2-wire” (up).)

When enabled, switch 2 inserts a 130 ohm resistor on the wire pair:

• Transmit/Receive (-) (B) RS-485 2-wire, transmit (-) RS-422 and

• Transmit/Receive (+) (A) RS-485 2-wire, transmit (+) RS-422.

Switch 3 - 1K ohm “pull-down”

up = Disable.
down = Enable. (Switch 5 must also be set to “2-wire” (up).)

When enabled, switch 3 enables a 1K ohm pull-down on the wire:

• Transmit/Receive (-) (B) RS-485 2-wire, transmit (+) RS-422.

Switch 4 - 1K ohm “pull-up”

up = Disable.
down = Enable. (Switch 5 must also be set to “2-wire” (up).)

When enabled, switch 4 enables a 1K ohm pull-up on the wire:

• Transmit/Receive (+) (A) RS-485 2-wire, transmit (+) RS-422.

Switch 5 - 2-wire / 4-wire

up = 2-wire.
down = 4-wire.

Set switch 5 to 2-wire (up) to enable the wire pair:

• Transmit/Receive (-) (B) RS-485 2-wire, transmit (-) RS-422 and

• Transmit/Receive (+) (A) RS-485 2-wire, transmit (+) RS-422.
for RS-422 2-wire, half-duplex operation.

Set switch 5 to 4-wire (down) to enable the wire pair:

• Receive (-) (B) RS-485 4-wire, transmit (-) RS-422 and

• Receive (+) (A) RS-485 4-wire, transmit (+) RS-422.
for RS-422 4-wire, full-duplex operation.

Switch 6 - RS-485 / RS-422

up = RS-485.
down = RS-422.

Set switch 6 to RS-485 (up) to prevent echo in the 2-wire mode.

Set switch 6 to RS-422 (down) to allow “transmit only” for the wire pair:

• Transmit/Receive (-) (B) RS-485 2-wire, transmit (-) RS-422 and

• Transmit/Receive (+) (A) RS-485 2-wire, transmit (+) RS-422.

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 PWR (Power) LED on the media converter illuminated?
NO

• Is the media converter inserted properly into the chassis?

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

grounded AC outlet?

• Does the grounded AC outlet 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 RXC LED illuminated when data is sent across the
RS-485/422 copper link?
NO

• Check the RS-485/422 copper cable for proper connection.

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

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

YES

• Proceed to step 3.

3. Is the RXF (fiber link) LED illuminated?
NO

• Disconnect and reconnect the fiber cables to restart the initialization

process.

• Verify that the TX and RX cables on the media converter are

connected to the RX and TX ports, respectively, on the other media
converter.

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

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

YES

• Proceed to step 4.

4. Does the data fail to move across the link, even though both RXC
and RXF LEDs are illuminated?
YES

• Check switches 5 and 6 (page 3) for proper configuration and check

the the RS-485/422 cables for proper connection.

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