SSETF10xx-200

Stand-Alone Media Converter

• Ethernet™ and Fast Ethernet™

• 10Base-T / 100Base-TX to 10Base-FL / Base-SX

SSETF10xx-200

Product Features

Full-Duplex / Half-Duplex

The SSETF10xx-200 receives and transmits network signals in either fullduplex or half-duplex mode (depending upon the network devices to which the Media Converter is attached).

Fast Ethernet™ in full-duplex mode allows the maximum cable distances listed on page 1.

Fast Ethernet™ in half-duplex mode requires attention to the 512-bit Rule (See page 7).

TRANSITION Networks SSETF10xx-200 series Ethernet™ and Fast Ethernet™ Media Converters connect 10Base-T or 100Base TX shielded or unshielded twisted-pair copper cable to 10Base-FL or 100Base-SX fiber-optic cable.

LinkAlert

The SSETF10xx-200 series Media Converter LinkAlert™ feature allows the Media Converter to pass 10Base-T/100Base-TX-side link faults over the link to the 10Base-T/100Base-SX side and to pass 10Base-FL/100Base-SX-side link faults over the link to the 10Base-FL/100Base-TX side.

If the SSETF10xx-200 Media Converter does not detect a good link on the 10Base-T/100Base-TX side, the Media Converter disables all transmission (including active-idle) on the 10Base-FL/100Base-SX side.

AutoCross*

The AutoCross™ feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) cables to be used when connecting to 10Base-T or to 100Base-TX 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.

Auto-Negotiation*

The SSETF10xx-200 series Media Converter Auto-Negotiation™ feature allows the Media Converter to be used with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 10BaseFL and 100Base-SX ports. Using Auto-Negotiation, the Media Converter brings up the copper and fiber links in the highest speed and mode possible for all the attached network devices.

NOTE: The SSETF10xx-200 series Media Converter does NOT support rate conversion between 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s network devices.

*Requires no operator intervention.

INSTALLATION

Installing the Cable

FIBER

1. Locate or build 10Base-FL or 100Base-SX compliant fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.

2. Connect the fiber cables to SSETF10xx-200 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 other device (another Media Converter, hub, etc.) 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 Media Converter as shown.

COPPER

1. Locate or build 10Base-T or 100Base-TX compliant 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 SSETF10xx-200 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.).
