Installation
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when setting the 4-position switch and jumper. Failure to observe this
caution could result in damage or failure of the media converter.
4-position switch
•The 4-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.

AutoCross Jumpers
The AutoCross feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover
(MDI-X) cables to be used when connecting to devices such as hubs,
transceivers, or network interface cards (NICs). AutoCross determines the
characteristics of the cable connection and automatically configures the unit
to link up, regardless of the cable configuration.

1.Install the power cord barrel connector into the back of the media converter.
2.Connect the power adapter plug into AC power.
3.Verify that the media converter is powered by observing the illuminated LED
power indicator light.

Operation
Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs to monitor the E-100BTX-FX-05 media converter operation
in the network.
Power(Power) On = Connection to external AC power.
SDF(Signal Detect/Fiber)On = Fiber link is detected.
SDC(Signal Detect/Copper)On = Copper link is detected.
RXC(Receive/Copper) Flashing = A signal is being received on the
copper link.
RXF(Receive/Fiber) Flashing = A signal is being received on the
fiber link.
Auto-Negotiation
When the Auto-Negotiation feature is activated, the media converter configures
Operation -- Continued
Pause Control
The Pause feature can improve network performance by allowing one end of the
link to signal the other to discontinue frame transmission for a set period of time
to relieve buffer congestion.
Note: If the Pause feature is present on ALL network devices attached to the
media converter(s), enable the Pause feature on the media converter(s).
Otherwise, disable the Pause feature.
Link Pass-Through
The Link Pass-Through feature 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 (1), the media converter will automatically disable the TX (transmit) signal
(2), thus, “passing through” the link loss (3). The far-end device is automatically
notified of the link loss (4), which prevents the loss of valuable data unknowingly
transmitted over an invalid link.

Far-End Fault
When a fault occurs on an incoming fiber link (1), the media converter transmits a
Far-End Fault signal on the outgoing fiber link (2). In addition the Far-End Fault
signal also activates the Link Pass-Through, which, in turn, disables the link on the
copper portion of the network (3) and (4).

Troubleshooting
If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the fault by determining the answers
to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:
Note: Dip switch positions 3 and 4 must be DOWN before strarting the
troubleshooting process.
1.Is the Power LED illuminated?
NO
•Is the power adapter the correct model (check I/O voltage and Hz)?
•Verify the voltage and frequency of the AC outlet?
•Is the power adapter properly installed in the media converter and in the
outlet?
