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.

• 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.

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.

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).

FCC regulations
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at the user's own expense.
