The SPOEB10xx-1xx Power over Ethernet (POE)
is a two port 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX media converter capable of providing
power to Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) Power Devices (PD) via the Media
Dependent Interface (MDI) twisted pair cable. The SPOEB10xx-100 emulates Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and provides power via the 10/100Base-TX interface for a
remote PD device that complies with the IEEE802.3af™ standard.

Additional features
Link Pass-Through (always enabled)
5
The Link Pass-Through allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber
and copper RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. In the event of a loss of an RX
signal on one media port, the media converter will automatically disable the
TX (transmit) signal of the other media port, thus, “passing through” the link
loss.
The far-end device is automatically notified of the link loss, which prevents
the loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link. See
diagram below.

Far-End Fault (always enabled)
This troubleshooting feature generally used in conjunction with Link Pass
Through to notify both end devices of a link loss. If the fiber RX signal is lost
on the far end converter, the converter will automatically generate a far-end
fault signal and send it on its TX fiber port to notify the near-end converter of
the fiber link loss. Link Pass-Through will then disable the copper link on both
ends, alerting both end devices of network trouble. See diagram below.

Transition Networks’ media converters that include the FEF feature will work
with other network devices that support Far End Fault per IEEE standards.
Automatic Link Restoration (always enabled)
Transition Networks's converters will automatically re-establish the link in all
network conditions:
• Without a device reset, the converters will automatically re-establish the
link when connected to switches after a link loss.
• With Auto-Negotiation enabled, automatic link restoration allows using
Auto-Negotiation with Link-Loss Notification.
• With Link Pass-Through enabled in both directions, automatic link
restoration allows using Link-Loss Notification in both directions.

Associated Ethernet wiring shall be limited to inside the building.

connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the SPOEB10xx-100 media converter as
described:
•Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
•Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cables to the other device (another media converter,hub, etc.) as described:
1. Connect the barrel connector, on the power adapter, to the power port
on the media converter (back panel).
2. Connect the power adapter plug to AC power.
3. Verify that the converter is powered by observing the illuminated LED
power indicator light on the front panel
Note: If an under or over voltage condition is detect on the main power input,
the error LED will turn ON. This means that the LED will stay ON even if
the voltage returns to a valid level. This condition indicates a problem
with the power supply adapter; therefore, the power supply adapter
should be replaced.

Installation -- Continued
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The SPOEB10xx-1xx media converter transmits electrical power, along with
data, to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network.
There are two modes of transmitting 48VDC PoE as defined in IEEE 802.3af:
Mode A uses pins 1&2, 3&6 to transmit data and power; Mode B uses pins 4&5,
7&8 to transmit power. These are the spare pairs in 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX
device configurations; therefore, Mode B requires a 4-pair cable.
To set A or B PoE Mode, do the following:
1. Remove the 4 screws and pull the cover off the media converter.
2. Locate the 3 header connects J2, J3, and J4.
2Set jumpers 2, 3, and 4 to the same side, either (S or U). See diagram below.
