E-TX-FX-XX00 IN THE NETWORK
Each media converter port in the multi-port media converter operates independently over one isolated twisted-pair copper/fiber-optic cable link. The media converter port receives and transmits network signals in either full-duplex or half-duplex, depending upon the network devices to which the media converter port is attached.
NOTE: In Telco option (not shown), the 50-pin Telco connector concentrates up to 12 UTP connections onto one connector. This concentration of UTP ports is then broken out for connection to fiber.
RJ-45 CONNECTOR
Twisted pair connection requires two active pairs configured as straight through and/or crossover. The two active pairs in an Ethernet™ network are pins 1 & 2 and pins 3 & 6. Use only dedicated wire pairs (such as blue/white & white/blue, orange/white & white/orange) for the active pins.
NOTE: The multi-port media converter AutoCross™ feature allows either straight­through or crossover twisted-pair copper cable to be used when connecting to 10BASE-T devices. AutoCross™ determines the characteristics of cable connections to the media converter port and then automatically configures the port to link up.

Media Converter Port in Full-Duplex Network
In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the cables used. See page 10 for cable specifications.
NOTE: The 512-Bit Rule described below does NOT apply in a full-duplex network.
Media Converter Port in Half-Duplex Network
The 512-Bit Rule applies separately to each collision domain.
USING THE 512-BIT RULE
In a half-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the round trip delay limitations of each Fast Ethernet
collision domain.
(Switches and routers divide the network into separate Ethernet collision domains.) The 512-Bit Rule determines maximum distances by calculating the collision domain round-trip delay in bit-times.
To calculate a collision domain round-trip delay in bit-times, find the
longest path between any two terminal devices in the collision domain. Calculate the round trip delay by multiplying the length of the cable (in meters) by the delay per meter (in bit­times (BT)), then take the sum of all cable delays plus station (DTE), repeater, and multi-port media converter port delays. If
the result is less than or equal to 512 bit-times, the path is good.

Install Cable
NOTE: Refer to page 10 for cable and connector specifications.
COPPER
NOTE: KEEP TWISTED PAIR RUNS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE.
1. Locate or build 100BASE-TX compliant cables with male RJ-45 plug connectors at both ends.
2. Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at one end of cable to media converter port RJ-45 jack connector.
3. Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of cable to 100BASE-TX device RJ-45 jack connector.
FIBER
1. Locate or build 100BASE-FX compliant fiber cable with male two-
stranded TX to RX connectors at both ends.
2. Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at one end of cable to
TX and RX female connectors, respectively, on media converter port.
3. Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at other end of cable to
RX and TX connectors, respectively, on 802.3 compliant fiber device.

OPERATION
Use the status LEDs to monitor multi-port media converter operation in the network.
NOTE: Each 100BASE-TX/ 100BASE-FX media converter port is identified by a number located just above the fiber connector(s) for that 100BASE-TX /100BASE-FX port connection. The LEDs that apply to each 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX port connector(s) are located, when facing the multi-port media converter, at the left of the connector(s) for that 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX port connection.
T(WISTED) P(AIR) LINK
Steady green LED indicates good link on
100BASE-TX
copper.
F(I)B(E)R LINK Steady green LED indicates good link on

ACTIVITY Flashing
green LED indicates 100BASE-TX
OR 100BASE-FX activity.
POWER Steady green LED indicates connection to
external AC power.
Using LinkAlert™
The E-TX-FX-xx00 series multi-port media converter LinkAlert feature allows each media converter port to pass 100BASE-TX-side link faults over the port link to the 100BASE-FX side and to pass 100BASE-FX-side link faults over the port link to the 100BASE-TX side.
If the port does not detect a good link on the 100BASE-TX side, the port disables all transmission (including active-idle) on the 100BASE-FX side.
If the port does not detect a good link on the 100BASE-FX side, the port disables all transmission (including active-idle) on the 100BASE-TX side.
