S4TEF10xx-11x

Stand-Alone Media Converter

• Twisted-Pair Copper to Fiber

• 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX

• RS-232 to Fiber

• (4) T1/E1 to Fiber

The S4TEF10xx-11x media converter is designed to extend signals from a 10Base-T Ethernet/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet port, an

RS-232 data port, and up to four (4) T1/E1 network ports over fiber. The Ethernet, RS-232, and T1/E1 interfaces are independent of each other and the signals from these ports can be sent over the fiber interface simultaneously.

The S4TEF10xx-11x is designed to be installed in pairs. For example, install one S4TEF1011-110 as the local media converter and another S4TEF1011-110 as the remote media converter. All S4TEF10xx-11x models have the following copper connectors.

*Typical maximum cable distance. Actual distance is dependent upon the physical characteristics of the network.

The chassis version of the media converter is C4TEF10xx-11x. For more information, see the user’s guide on-line at: www.transition.com.

6 - Twisted-pair Auto-Negotiation

Up (Enabled) - The media converter “advertises”

ALL rate and mode capabilities to the network:

• 100 Mb/s full- or half-duplex

• 10 Mb/s full- or half-duplex The media converter brings up the Ethernet link to the highest speed and mode possible for all the attached network devices.

When selected, Auto-Negotiation allows a twisted-pair link to become operational only after the Auto-Negotiation function matches network speed capabilities at both ends of the twisted-pair copper segment.

down (Disabled) - The bridging media converter does not “advertise” the rate and mode capabilities to the network. Switch 7 and switch 8 are then used to set the speed and mode for the Ethernet link.

Note: Switch 7 and 8 are inactive if switch 6 is enabled (up).

7 - Ethernet speed

up (100Base-TX) - Sets the Ethernet port to 100Base-TX (100 Mb/s).

down (10Base-T) - Sets the Ethernet port to 10Base-T (10 Mb/s).

8 - Ethernet node

up (Full-Duplex) - Sets the Ethernet port to full-duplex mode. The twisted-pair cable distances are constrained by the cable requirements (see pages 1 and 2 for the cable

specifications for the various S4TEF10xx-11x models).

down (Half-Duplex) - Sets the Ethernet port to halfduplex mode. The twisted-pair cable distances are constrained by the 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: www.transition.com.

9 - Transparent Link Pass-Through

Up - Enable Link Pass-Through

Down - Disable Link Pass-Through

The Transparent Link Pass-Through feature allows the media converter to monitor the Ethernet copper RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. For example, when the Ethernet copper link on the near end device is lost (1), the local media converter transmits a signal to the remote media converter (2), thus, “passing through” the link loss. The remote media converter disables the Ethernet copper link to the far-end device (3), which prevents the loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link.

It is important to remember that, although the Ethernet copper link has been disabled, the fiber link is still valid (4). Thus, there is no disruption to the transfer of T1/E1 or RS-232 data signals over the fiber link.
