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™ Jumper

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.

NOTE: AutoCross is enabled by default, the recommended state.

The jumper is located on the media converter’s circuit board To set the jumper:

1. Using a small screwdriver, remove the four (4) screws that secure the

cover; then remove the cover from the media converter.

2. Locate header J3 on the circuit board; using a small

needle-nosed pliers move the jumper to the desired position. (Refer to the drawing to the right.)

3. Carefully replace the cover, and then replace the

four (4) screws to secure the cover to the media converter.

E-100BTX-FX-05

Installation -- Continued

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.

RX TX

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.).

Connect fiber cable

to other device

(media converter,

hub, etc.) as shown

Installation -- Continued

Power the media converter

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.

Consult user guide 33266 for information on the SPS-1872-xx DC external power supply.

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 itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link automatically. The media converter broadcasts its speed (100 Mb/s) and duplex capabilities (either full- or half-duplex) and negotiates the best mode of operation between the two devices.
