Installation
Set the LinkAlert™ Switch
The LinkAlert switch is located on the side of the
media converter. Use a small flat-blade screwdriver or
a similar device to set the recessed switch:
Left = Enables the LinkAlert function
Right = Disables the LinkAlert function.
The LinkAlert 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 automatically
notified of the link loss, which prevents the loss of valuable data unknowingly
transmitted over an invalid link.
Note: The enable/disable switch allows the LinkAlert feature to be disabled.
LinkAlert may interfere with the Auto-Negotiation feature of other devices in
networks where there are two media converters installed in series.
AutoCross™ Feature
The AutoCross feature detects and configures the twisted-pair copper port on
the E-TBT-FRL-05 media converter to the correct straight-through (MDI) or
crossover (MDI-X) configuration. This feature allows either MDI or MDI-X
cable to connect the media converter to devices such as hubs, transceivers, or
network interface cards (NICs). (Requires no operator intervention).

Installation -- Continued
Install the Copper Cable
1. Locate or build 10Base-T 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 E-TBT-FRL-05 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.).

converter
Install the Fiber Cable
1. Locate or build 10Base-FL compliant fiber cable with male, two-stranded
TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the E-TBT-FRL-05 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 the fiber cable

Installation -- Continued
Power the Media Converter
AC
1. Install the power adapter cord to the back of the media converter.
2. Connect the power adapter plug to AC power.
3. Verify that the media converter is powered by observing the illuminated
LED power indicator light.
DC
Consult the user’s guide for the Transition Networks SPS1872-xx DC external
power supply for powering the media converter.
Operation
After installation, the media converter should function without operator
intervention. Use the status LEDs to monitor media converter operation in the
network.
Pwr (Power) On = A connection to external AC power.
RX (Fiber) On = Data reception on the 10Base-FL link.
Link (Fiber) On = A good 10Base-FL link and normal operation.
Off = Lack of power or a downed 10Base-FL link.
RX (Copper) On = Data reception on the 10Base-T link.
Link (Copper) On = A good 10Base-T link and normal operation.
Off = Lack of power or a downed 10Base-T link.
