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.

High-temperature board, J3, 3-Pin header settings:

1. Orient the board as shown in the photo.

2. Position the jumper as illustrated below.

Installing the fiber cable

1. Locate a 100Base-FX compliant fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to

RX connectors installed at both ends.

2. Connect the fiber cables to the 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.

Connect fiber cable to media converter as shown.

Installing the copper cable

1. Locate or build 100Base-TX compliant copper cables with male, RJ-45

connectors installed at both ends.

2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on

the media converter.

3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port

on the other device (switch, workstation, etc.).
