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.

FAULT ISOLATION and CORRECTION

If the multi-port media converter fails, isolate and correct the fault by determining the answers to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:

1. Is the POWER LED on the multi-port media converter illuminated?

• Is the power cord properly installed in the media converter and in

the grounded AC outlet?

• Does the grounded AC outlet provide power?
