The TRANSITION Networks E-R-TX-FX-01 series redundant Fast Ethernetmedia converters connect 100BASE-TX unshielded twisted pair copper to 1300 nm 100BASE-FX multimode OR to 1300 nm 100BASE-FX singlemode fiber. In the event of a failure in the primary copper or fiber connection, a fully redundant secondary connection is made available to the failed copper or fiber connection. Also, the copper and fiber media converter interfaces operate independently, so that a failure on one interface will not force a failure on the other interface.
Switches at the side of the media converter allow selection of auto-negotiation and of full/half-duplex. Also, a port select timer (PST) switch* allows the network administrator to set different timer values (used when a primary connection is lost and a secondary connection is made) at each end of the copper/fiber interface.

FAULT ISOLATION and CORRECTION
If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the failure by determining the answers to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:
1. Are the PRI(mary)/SEC(ondary) LEDs on the media converter illuminated or alternating between between primary and secondary ports?
NO
Is the power adapter the proper type of voltage and cycle frequency
for AC outlet? NOTE: Refer to the Power Supply Requirements on page 7.
Is the power adapter properly installed in the media converter and
in the outlet?
*Are PST switch settings on two media converters installed in series
in the network set to different values?
Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312/ (800) LAN-WANS.
YES
Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the 100BASE-TX SDC (Signal Detect/Copper) LED illuminated?
NO
Check UTP cables for proper connection.
Verify MDI/MDI-X switch position.
Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312/ (800) LAN-WANS.
YES
Proceed to step 3.
3. Is the 100BASE-FX SDF (Signal Detect/Fiber) LED illuminated? NO
Check fiber cables for proper connection.
Verify that TX and RX cables on media converter are connected to
RX and TX ports, respectively, on the other 100BASE-FX device.
Refer to Tech Tips available at: http://www.transition.com
Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312/ (800) LAN-WANS.
YES
Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312/ (800) LAN-WANS.
*NOTE: Setting PST switch settings on two media converters installed in series in the network to different values (11 seconds and 5 seconds) ensures, in the event of common power failure or similar incident, a sufficient delay in the time required to establish each link so that communication between the media converters is guaranteed.
