SSEFE10xx-10x
Stand-Alone Media Converter
•Switchable Ethernet and Fast Ethernet
•10 Mb/s Copper to Fiber
•100 Mb/s Copper to Fiber
Transition Networks SSEFE10xx-10x series Ethernet / Fast Ethernet media converter is a 10Mbps or 100Mbps switch-selectable media
converter. Both the copper and fiber links operate at the same speed setting via a hard set with a dip switch, so the media converter operates at either 10 Mb/s copper to fiber or 100 Mb/s copper to fiber.

*Typical maximum cable distance. Actual distance is dependent upon the physical characteristics of the network. (TX) = transmit, (RX) = receive
The SSEFE10xx-10x media converter is designed to be installed in pairs, where one is the local media converter and the other is the remote. For example, a local SSEFE1011-100 converter is connected, via fiber, to a remote SSEFE1011-100 converter.
For a single fiber network, a local SSEFE1029-100 is connected, via fiber, to a remote SSEFE1029-101 converter.

SSEFE10xx-10x
Installation
The Link Pass-Through and speed switches are located on the side of the media converter. Use a small screwdriver to set the recessed switches.
Set Link Pass-Through (switch 1) |
Link Pass-Through: up = Enable |
|
Speed: up = 100 Mb/s |
Switch 1 sets the Link Pass-Through feature:
up |
= Enable Link Pass-Through. |
|
|
down |
= Disable Link Pass-Through. |

2 |
|
|
Link Pass-Through is a troubleshooting feature that 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. This feature prevents the loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link.

Set the Speed (switch 2)
Switch 2 sets the speed for both the twisted-pair copper and fiber links:
up = copper and fiber links are at 100Mb/s.
down = copper and fiber links are at 10 Mb/s.
NOTE: The SSEFE10xx-10x media converters are fully compliant with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 100Base-FX standards and, therefore, can be connected to any compliant 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 100Base-FX devices.
The SSEFE10xx-10x media converters are NOT 10Base-FL compliant and, therefore, must be connected to another SSEFE10xx-10x media converter in a 10Mb/s network.

Power the Media Converter
AC
1.Connect the barrel connector on the power adapter to the media converter’s power port (located on the back of the media converter).
2.Connect the power adapter plug to AC power.
3.Verify that the media converter is powered by observing the illuminated LED power indicator light.
DC
Consult the user’s guide for the Transition Networks SPS1872-xx DC external power supply for powering the media converter.

SSEFE10xx-10x
Installation -- Continued
Install the Fiber Cable
The SSEFE10xx-10x is designed to be installed in pairs over the fiber link, where one is the local media converter and the other is the remote.
1.Locate or build fiber-optic cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2.Connect the fiber cables to the local SSEFE10xx-10x media converter as described:
•Connect the male TX cable connector the female TX port.
•Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3.Connect the fiber cables to the remote SSEFE10xx-10x media converter as described:
•Connect the male TX cable connector the female RX port.
•Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.
Connect the fiber cable to the local media converter as shown.

Install the Copper Cable
NOTE: The MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover) cable connection is configured automatically, according to the network conditions.
1.Locate or build 10/100Base-TX copper cables with male, RJ-45 connectors installed at both ends.
2.Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the SSEFE10xx-10x media converter.
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.).

AutoCross™
The AutoCross feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) cables to be used when connecting to 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.
NOTE: The SSEFE10xx-10x series media converter does NOT support rate conversion between 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s network devices.
