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.).
Set the Two-Position Switch
A two-position switch (located on the back of the media monverter) allows selection of Auto-Negotiation and Fullor Half-Duplex. Use a small, flat-blade screwdriver (or a similar device) to set the switch according to the site requirements see the drawing below.

Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the media converter to be used with 100BaseTX ports. Using Auto-Negotiation, the media converter brings up the copper links in the highest speed and mode possible for all attached network devices.
Full-Duplex network
In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type of cables that are used. See page 1 (front cover) for the cable specifications for the different J/FE-CF-03 models. (The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex network.)
Half-Duplex network (512-Bit Rule)
In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the round trip delay limitations of each Fast Ethernet™ collision domain. (A collision domain is the longest path between any two terminal devices, e.g. a terminal, switch, or router.)
The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by calculating the round-trip delay in bit-times (BT) of a particular collision domain. If the result is less than or equal to 512 BT, the path is good.
For more information on the 512-Bit Rule, see the white paper titled “Collision Domains” on the Transition Networks website at:
http://www.transition.com/learning/whitepapers/colldom_wp.htm

WARNING: Visible and invisible laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam or view the beam directly with optical instruments. Failure to observe this warning could result in an eye injury or blindness.
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION: Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc., are intended to be connected to intrabuilding (inside plant) link segments that are not subject to lightening transients or power faults. Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc., are NOT to be connected to interbuilding (outside plant) link segments that are subject to lightening transients or power faults. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to equipment.
*MTBF is estimated using the predictability method. This method is based on MIL217F at 25°C ambient temperature, typical enclosure heat rise of 10°C, and nominal operating conditions and parameters. Installation and configuration specific MTBF estimates are available upon request. Contact Technical Support.
