Connect Fiber Cables
On the fiber side, full duplex is always on, therefore, the 512-Bit Rule does not apply. The fiber cable
specs are constrained by the type of SFP used.
Connect the Twisted-Pair Copper Cable
The AutoCross feature allows either MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover) cable connections to be
configured automatically, according to network conditions.
Perform these steps:
1. Locate a 1GbE cable with 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 M/GE-ISW-SFP-
01-PD 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.).
Operation
Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs to monitor M/GE-ISW-SFP-01-PD operation in the network.
PWR: Power status:
On = power is on
Off = power is off
Fiber Link/Act: Fiber port link and activity status:
Green On =1000BASE-X or 100Base-FX fiber link OK
Green Flash = 1000BASE-X or 100Base-FX fiber link OK and activity
Off = Fiber link down
Copper Link/Act: Copper port link and activity status:
Green On =10/100/1000BASE-T copper link OK
Green Flash = 10/100/1000BASE-T copper link OK and activity
Off = Copper link fail
