CSEFE10xx-10x

Installation

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when setting the jumper or when installing the media converter.

Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the media converter.

Installation -- Continued

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.

Link Pass-Through: up = Enable Speed: up = 100 Mb/s

Set the Hardware / Software Jumper

•The hardware/software jumper (J2) is located on the circuit board.

•Use small needle-nose pliers to move the jumper to the desired position.

Hardware The media converter mode is determined by the switch settings (see below).

Software The media converter mode is determined by the most-recently saved, on-board microprocessor settings.

NOTE: The CSEFE10xx-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 CSEFE10xx-10x media converters are NOT 10Base-FL compliant and, therefore, must be connected to another CSEFE10xx-10x media converter in a 10Mb/s network.

Install the Slide-In-Module

CAUTION: Slots in the PointSystem™ chassis without a slide-in-module installed MUST have a protective plate covering the empty slot for Class A and/or Class B compliance.

The Link Pass-Throughand 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
Switch 1 sets the Link Pass-Through feature:	Speed: up = 100 Mb/s

up	= Enable Link Pass-Through.
down	= Disable Link Pass-Through.

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.

To install the CSEFE10xx-10x media converter slide-in-module:

1.Locate an empty installation slot on the PointSystem™ chassis.

2.Carefully slide the slide-in-module into the installation slot, aligning the module with the installation guides.

3.Ensure that the module is firmly seated against the back of the chassis.

4.Push in and rotate the panel fastener screw (attached to the slide-in- module) to secure the module to the chassis front.
