Stand-Alone Media Converters

• Copper to Fiber

• 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX

The miniature, plug-and-play operation Mx/E-PSW-

FX-01 2-port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet bridging media
converters allow connecting 10Base-T Ethernet and/or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet
twisted-pair copper network devices to network devices on a 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet
fiber network. Depending on the media converter, the end user has the choice of three
options for powering the converters: power adapter (shipped with converter), USB, or
“802.3af™ Power over Ethernet” (PoE) enabled device.

Power warnings

WARNING: If the media converter is an IEEE802.3-2005 Powered Device (PD)
capable of receiving power via the Media Dependent Interface (MDI) leads, the
power source, connector, and cables attached to the barrel power connector must
meet the isolation requirement specified in IEEE802.3-2005.

WARNING:

When powering the model MP/E-PSW-FX-01 via “Power over
Ethernet” only, a barrel cover (provided) must be installed on the back panel of the
converter for safety. Failure to observe this warning could result in an electrical
shock.

Product features

Congestion reduction

The Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 media converters do not forward collision signals or error
packets from one collision domain to another, resulting in improvements in
baseline network performance. In addition, the media converter filters packets
destined for local devices, which reduces network congestion also.

Auto-Negotiation

The Auto-Negotiation feature is ON permanently for the Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 media
converters. Auto-Negotiation allows the media converter to configure itself
automatically to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link. It
broadcasts speed (10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s) and duplex capabilities (full or half) to the
other device and negotiates the best mode of operation. Auto-Negotiation allows
quick and easy installation because the optimal link is established automatically.

In a scenario where an auto-negotiation device is linked to a non-negotiating device,
the negotiating device via parallel detection recognizes the speed of that second
device then establishes the best operating speed (10Mbs or 100Mbs) at half-duplex.

AutoCross™

The AutoCross feature allows using either straight-through (MDI) or crossover
(MDI-X) copper cables when connecting to 10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices.
AutoCross determines the characteristics of the connection and automatically
configures the device to link up, regardless of the copper cable configuration, MDI
or MDI-X.

Link Pass-Through

The Link Pass-Through feature (illustrated below) allows the media converter to
monitor both the fiber and copper RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. In the event
of an RX signal loss (1), the media converter will automatically disable the TX
(transmit) signal (2), thus “passing through” the link loss (3). The far-end device is
automatically notified of the link loss (4), which prevents the loss of valuable data
unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link.

Note: In the link pass-through devices (MP/E-PSW-FX-01 MU/E-PSW-FX-0) both

copper and fiber cables must be installed before the LEDs will light.

Automatic link restoration

The media converter will automatically re-establish the link when connected to
switches if the link is lost, even with Auto-Negotiation and Link Pass-through (both
directions) enabled.

Full-Duplex flow control

In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type of
cables used—see page 1 (front cover) for Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 cable specifications.

The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex network.

Note: Full duplex is ON permanently for the fiber port only.

Half-Duplex flow control (512-Bit Rule)

In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the round­trip 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: www.transition.com

Flow Control

The process of adjusting the flow of data from one device to another ensures that
the receiving device can handle all of the incoming data. This is particularly
important where the sending device is capable of transmitting data much faster than
the receiving device can accept it.

Distance extension

The Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 media converters can segment one (1) 10Base-T copper
Ethernet and/or 100Base-TX copper Fast Ethernet, and one (1)100Base-FX fiber
Fast Ethernet collision domain:

In a half-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the Mx/E-PSW-FX-01
media converters extend network distances by segmenting collision domains so that
the 512-Bit Rule applies separately to each collision domain.

In a full-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the Mx/E-PSW-FX-01
media converters extend network distances to the physical cable limitations
imposed by the selected twisted-pair copper fiber cables.

Rate conversion

The Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 media converters allow connection of 10Mb/s terminal
devices on a 10Base-T legacy Ethernet copper network to 100Mb/s terminal devices
on a 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet copper network and/or to 100Mb/s terminal devices
on a 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet fiber network.

Far-End Fault (always ON)

When a fault occurs on an incoming fiber link (1), the media converter transmits a
Far-End Fault signal on the outgoing fiber link (2). In addition the Far-End Fault
signal also activates the Link Pass-Through, which, in turn, disables the link on the
copper portion of the network (3) and (4).

Troubleshooting

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

1. Is the power LED illuminated and did the TX and FX LEDs turn ON then turn
OFF?
NO

• Is the device power by an adapter, USB plug, or “Power over Ethernet”?

Is the power adapter the proper type of voltage and cycle frequency for
the AC outlet?

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

outlet?

• Is the USB cable properly installed and its supplied voltage at the proper

level? (See Technical Spec.)

• If PoE, is the RJ-45 jack receiving power from the input device? (See

Technical Spec.)

• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312, International:

00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

• Proceed to step 2.

2. Note the following:

• In the link pass-through devices (MP/E-PSW-FX-01 MU/E-PSW-FX-0)

both copper and fiber cables must be installed before the LEDs will light.

• The M/E-PSW-FX-01 (no link pass-through option), the TX LED will

turn ON when the twisted pair copper cable is installed; the FX LED will
turn ON when the fiber cable is installed.
