Transition Networks CSEFE10xx-10x series Ethernet /
Fast Ethernet media converter is designed to be
installed in a Transition Networks PointSystem™
chassis and is a 10Mbps or 100Mbps switch-selectable
media converter.
Both the copper and fiber links operate at the same speed setting via a hard set with
a dip switch, so the media converter operates at either 10 Mb/s copper to fiber or
100 Mb/s copper to fiber.

The CSEFE10xx-10x media converter is designed to be installed in pairs, where
one is the local media converter and the other is the remote. For example, a local
CSEFE1011-100 converter is connected, via fiber, to a remote CSEFE1011-100
converter.
For a single fiber network, a local CSEFE1029-100 is connected, via fiber, to a
remote CSEFE1029-101 converter.

Installation
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when setting the jumper or when installing the media converter.
Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent
failure of, the media converter.
Set the Hardware / Software Jumper
•The hardware/software jumper (J2) is located on
the circuit board.
•Use small needle-nose pliers to move the jumper
to the desired position.
Hardware The media converter mode is determined by
the switch settings (see below).
SoftwareThe media converter mode is determined by
the most-recently saved, on-board
microprocessor settings.
The Link Pass-Through and speed switches are located on the side of the
media converter. Use a small screwdriver to set the recessed switches.
Set Link Pass-Through (switch 1)
Link Pass-Through: up = Enable
Switch 1 sets the Link Pass-Through feature:
up= Enable Link Pass-Through.
down = Disable Link Pass-Through.
Link Pass-Through is a troubleshooting feature that allows the media converter
to monitor both the fiber and copper RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. In
the event of a loss of an RX signal on one media port, the media converter will
automatically disable the TX (transmit) signal of the other media port, thus,
“passing through” the link loss. This feature prevents the loss of valuable data
unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link.

Set the Speed (switch 2)
Switch 2 sets the speed for both the twisted-pair
copper and fiber links:
up= copper and fiber links are at 100Mb/s.
down = copper and fiber links are at 10 Mb/s.

NOTE: The CSEFE10xx-10x media converters are fully compliant with
10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 100Base-FX standards and, therefore, can be
connected to any compliant 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 100Base-FX devices.
The CSEFE10xx-10x media converters are NOT 10Base-FL compliant and,
therefore, must be connected to another CSEFE10xx-10x media converter in a
J2
S
10Mb/s network.
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
and/or Class B compliance.
To install the CSEFE10xx-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 module is firmly seated against the back of the chassis.
4.Push in and rotate the panel fastener screw (attached to the slide-inmodule) to secure the module to the chassis front.
The CSEFE10xx-10x slide-in-module is powered through the Transition
Networks PointSystem™ chassis.

Installation -- Continued
Install the Fiber Cable
The CSEFE10xx-10x is designed to be installed in pairs over the fiber link,
where one is the local media converter and the other is the remote.
1.Locate or build fiber-optic cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX
connectors installed at both ends.
2.Connect the fiber cables to the local CSEFE10xx-10x media converter as
described:
•Connect the male TX cable connector the female TX port.
•Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3.Connect the fiber cables to the remote CSEFE10xx-10x media converter
