SSEFE10xx-10x
Installation
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 |
| Speed: up = 100 Mb/s |
Switch 1 sets the Link Pass-Through feature:
up | = Enable Link Pass-Through. | | |
down | = Disable Link Pass-Through. | 1 | 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.
