Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX05(10x) Fast Ethernet media converter connects 100Base-TX shielded or unshielded twisted-pair copper cable

to single connector 100Base-FX fiber-optic cable.

* Typical maximum cable distance. Actual distance is dependent upon the

physical characteristics of the network. (TX) = transmit, (RX) = receive

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 to 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 switches

(see the drawing to the right).

1. Auto-Negotiation up = Advertises 100Mb/s full-duplex and half-duplex. down = Disables Auto-Negotiation. The media converter operates at 100

Mb/s in duplex mode (full or half) of the attached device. (This

setting is primarily used when connecting to a hub).

2. Pause Control Frame

(Applies only if switch 1 is up and the media converter is connected to AutoNegotiation device(s) capable of Pause Control Frame.)

up = Enabled down = Disabled

3. Link Pass-Through up = Enabled down = Disabled

4. Far-End Fault up = Enabled down = Disabled.

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 media converter to link up, regardless of the cable configuration.

The jumper is located on the circuit board, header J3. To set the jumper:

1. Using a small screwdriver, remove the four (4) screws securing the device cover, then remove it.

2. Locate the jumper on header J3. Use a small needle-nosed pliers to move the jumper to the desired position (see the drawing to the right).

3. Carefully replace the cover; then replace the four (4) screws to secure the cover to the media converter.

Connect the fiber cable

1. Locate a 100Base-FX compliant fiber cable with male, single-stranded simplex connectors installed at both ends.

2. Connect the simplex connector at one end of the cable to the singlestrand fiber port on the first E-100BTX-FX-05(10x) media converter.

3. Connect the simplex connector at the other end of the cable to the singlestrand fiber port on the second E-100BTX-FX-05(10x) media converter.

Connect the twisted-pair copper cable

1. Locate or build 100Base-TX compliant 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 E-100BTX-FX-05(10x) media converter.

3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the other E-100BTX-FX-05(10x) media converter.

Powering 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.

Product features

Auto-Negotiation

The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the media converter to perform automatic configuration to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link. The media converter will broadcast its speed (10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, etc.) and duplex (full/half) capabilities to the other devices and negotiate the best mode of operation.

NOTE: The E-100BTX-FX-05(10x) series media converter does NOT support rate conversion between 10Mb/s, 100Mb/s, and 1000Mb/s network devices.

Pause Control Frame

The Pause Control Frame 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 Control feature is present on ALL network devices attached to the media converter(s), enable the Pause Control feature on the

media converter(s). Otherwise, disable Pause Control.

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, the media converter will automatically disable the TX (transmit) signal, thus, “passing through” the link loss. The far-end device is notified automatically of the link loss, 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 Link Pass-Through, which in turn disables the link on the copper portion of the network (3) and (4).

Full Duplex Network

In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type of cables used. See the front cover for the cable specifications for the different E-100BTX-FX-05(10x) models.

The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex network.

Half-Duplex Network (512-Bit Rule)

In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the round trip delay limitations of each Fast Ethernet collision domain. (A

collision domain is the longest path between any two terminal devices, e.g., a terminal, switch, or router.)

The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by calculating the round-trip delay in bit-times (BT) of a particular collision domain. If the result is less than or equal to 512 BT, the path is good.

For more information on the 512-Bit Rule, see the white paper titled “Collision Domains” on the Transition Networks website at: www.transition.com.
