CAUTION: RJ connectors are NOT INTENDED FOR CONNECTION TO THE PUBLIC TELEPHONE NETWORK. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the public telephone network.

Der Anschluss dieses Gerätes an ein öffentlickes Telekommunikationsnetz in den EG-Mitgliedstaaten verstösst gegen die jeweligen einzelstaatlichen Gesetze zur Anwendung der Richtlinie 91/263/EWG zur Angleichung der Rechtsvorschriften der Mitgliedstaaten über Telekommunikationsendeinrichtungen einschliesslich der gegenseitigen Anerkennung ihrer Konformität.

The TRANSITION Networks J/FE-CF-01 series Fast Ethernet™ media converters connect either unshielded or shielded 100BASE-TX twisted-pair copper cable to 100BASE-FX multimode fiber-optic cable.

The AutoCross™ feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) cables to be used when connecting to 100BASE-TX devices, such as hubs, transceivers, or network interface cards (NICs). AutoCross™ determines the characteristics of the cable connection and automatically configures the unit to link up, regardless of the cable configuration.

The LinkALERT™ feature allows the J/FE-CF-01 media converter to pass 100BASETX side link faults to the

100BASE-FX side and to pass 100BASE-FX side link faults

to the 100BASE-TX side.

100BASE-TX/100BASE-FX Full-Duplex Network

To calculate the round trip delay (in bit-times) in a half-duplex Fast Ethernet™ network collision domain, find the longest path in the collision domain. Calculate the round trip delay for each cable segment in the collision domain by multiplying the length of the cable (in meters) by the delay per meter (in bit-times (BT)). Calculate the total round trip delay by taking the sum of all the cable delays plus station (DTE) and repeater delays. If the result is less than or equal to 512 bit-times, the path passes the test. NOTE: The J/FE-CF-01 has a 50 BT delay.

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.

INSTALLATION

Install Cable

NOTE: See page 6 for cable specifications and configurations.

COPPER

NOTE: KEEP TWISTED PAIR RUNS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE. NOTE: AutoCross™ allows the use of either straight-through or crossover

configuration cables.

• Locate or build 100BASE-TX compliant cables (either straightthrough or crossover) with male RJ-45 plug connectors at both ends.

• Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at one end of cable to media converter RJ-45 jack connector.

• Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of cable to 100BASE-TX terminal device RJ-45 jack connector.

FIBER

• Locate or build 100BASE-FX compliant fiber cable with male two-stranded TX to RX connectors at both ends.

• Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at one end of cable to TX and RX female connectors, respectively, on media converter.

FAULT ISOLATION and CORRECTION

If the 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

P(o)W(e)R LED on the media converter illuminated?

• Is the power adapter the proper voltage and frequency for AC outlet? NOTE: Refer to “Power Supply Requirements” on page 7.

• Is the power adapter properly installed in the media converter and in the outlet?
