E-100BTX-FX-05

Installation -- Continued

Installing the fiber cable

1.Locate a 100Base-FX compliant fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to

RX connectors installed at both ends.

2. Connect the fiber cables to the 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:

•Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.

•Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.

Installing the copper cable

1.Locate or build 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 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.).

Power the media converter

AC

1.Install the power cord barrel connector into the back of the media converter.

2.Connect the power adapter plug into AC power.

3.Verify that the media converter is powered by observing the illuminated LED power indicator light.

DC

Consult user guide 33266 for information on the SPS-1872-xx DC external power supply.

Operation

Status LEDs

Use the status LEDs to monitor the E-100BTX-FX-05 media converter operation in the network.

Power	(Power)	On = Connection to external AC power.
SDF	(Signal Detect/Fiber)	On = Fiber link is detected.
SDC	(Signal Detect/Copper)	On = Copper link is detected.
RXC	(Receive/Copper)	Flashing = A signal is being received on
		the copper link.
RXF	(Receive/Fiber)	Flashing = A signal is being received on
		the fiber link.

Auto-Negotiation

When the Auto-Negotiation feature is activated, the media converter configures itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link automatically. The media converter broadcasts its speed (100 Mb/s) and duplex capabilities (either full- or half-duplex)and negotiates the best mode of operation between the two devices.
