Install the Fiber Cable

The CSEFE10xx-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 CSEFE10xx-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 CSEFE10xx-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.

Operation

Status LEDs

Use the status LEDs to monitor the CSEFE10xx-10x media converter operation in the network.

PWR	Power	On = Connection to the external AC
		or DC power.
F-ACT	Fiber Activity	Blinking = Data reception on the fiber
		link.
F-100	Fiber Speed	On = Fiber link at 100 Mb/s.
F-10	Fiber Speed	On = Fiber link at 10 Mb/s.
TP-ACT	Copper Activity	Blinking = Data reception on the
		twisted-pair copper link.

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 CSEFE10xx-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.).

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 CSEFE10xx-10x series media converter does NOT support rate conversion between 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s network devices.
