USER’S GUIDE
The TRANSITION Networks High-Speed Token Ring copper-to-fiber media
converters connect either unshielded or shielded High-Speed Token Ring
twisted-pair copper cable to High-Speed Token Ring multimode fiber-optic
cable (HSTR-CF-01(SC)) OR to High-Speed Token Ring singlemode fiber-
optic cable (HSTR-CF-01(SM)).

Switch Settings and Cable Requirements
Station: Selected when connecting
media converter to terminal device.
Lobe: Selected when connecting
media converter to switch.
1. Is the power LED on the media converter illuminated?
NO
• Is the power adapter the proper type of voltage and cycle frequency for AC outlet?
• Is the power adapter properly installed in the media converter and in the outlet?
• Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312/ (800) LAN-WANS.
YES
• Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the Copper SDC Link LED illuminated?
NO
• Check UTP cables for proper connection and switch position. (See above.)
• Contact Technical Support at (800) 260-1312/ (800) LAN-WANS.
YES
• Proceed to step 3.
3. Is the fiber SDF Link 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 device.
• Refer to Tech Tips available at: http://www.transition.com
