Slide-in-Module Media Converter

• Copper to Fiber

• 10/100 Bridging (2-Port)

• 10Base-T/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX

The CSRFB10xx-100, 2-port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet bridging media converter is designed to be installed in a Transition Networks PointSystem™ chassis. This converter connects 10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX

Fast Ethernet twisted-pair copper network converters to network converters on a 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet fiber network. The CSRFB includes a status reporting feature for viewing operational parameters only from its remotely attached CSRFB converter via the fiber connection.

Note: To use the TS1000 compliant Center/Terminal mode function, set SW6 on

the center converter in the chassis to Center Mode, the (UP) position; on the terminal converter at the remote location, set SW6 to Terminal Mode, the (DOWN) position. This allows you to view parameters of the terminal converter from the center converter for monitoring purposes only .

Hardware/software mode jumper

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

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 to the right for definitions of the individual switch positions.

AutoCross jumper

The AutoCross jumper is located on the media converter’s circuit board (labeled NA = No Autocross; A = AutoCross). See Jumper position below.

Note: Use small needle-nose pliers to set the

jumper.

A Either straight-through or crossover

cable can be used for all twisted-pair copper links.

Pins

NA Straight-through or crossover twisted-

pair cable, depending on installed site converters, MUST be installed at EACH twisted-pair copper link.

Note: Factory default is “A” enabled. Transition Networks recommends leaving

the converter in the “A” enabled position.

The Loopback Mode jumper is located on the media converter’s circuit board (labeled ALL= all frames plus errors, Good = Good frames only). See Jumper position to the right.

Loopback test

The loopback test is an automatic test run from the center chassis converter with SW6 set to ‘center,’ the UP position of the switch; and on the terminal converter with SW6 set to ‘terminal,’ the DOWN position of the switch.

Note: This test is self-running after being initiated through software on the center

converter.

The Loopback test does the following:

1. The center converter will put the terminal converter in loopback mode.

2. The center converter sends 100 packets to the terminal converter.

3. The center converter will monitor its receiver for:

a. good packets

b. CRC errors

c. timeouts

4. After the center converter receives all 100 packets back or a time out occurs, it will update its counters and return the terminal converter to its previous mode of operation.

After completing the test, normal operation of the center and terminal converters is established automatically.

Install the slide-in-module

To install the CSRFB10xx-100 media converter slide-in-module:

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

2. Carefully slide the module into the 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.
