Introduction
The M/E-PSW Series is a Fast Ethernet stand-alone Mini media converter that provides cost effective
media conversion between 10/100Base-TX ports and 100Base-FX ports. With its fixed configuration,
deployments are just plug-and-play, and its small size makes it ideal for locations where space is limited.
Operating at Layer 2, the data link layer, this converter not only converts copper to fiber, it also provides
rate conversion allowing legacy 10Base-T copper devices to connect to 100Base-FX fiber.

Transition Networks M/E-PSW-FX-02 User Guide 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. If half-duplex mode is used, refer to the 512-Bit Rule. -
Page 5: Power Adapter
Verify that the media converter is powered up by observing the illuminated LED power indicator light on the front panel. DC Power See the Transition Networks SPS-1872-SA DC User Guide for the external power supply for powering the media converter. Operation Status LEDs Use the status LEDs to monitor the media converter operation in the network. - Page 6 Transition Networks M/E-PSW-FX-02 User Guide AutoCross™ The AutoCross feature allows using either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) copper cables when connecting to 10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices. AutoCross determines the characteristics of the connection and automatically configures the device to link up, regardless of the copper cable configuration, MDI or MDI-X.
- Page 7 Transition Networks ME-PSW-FX-02 User Guide Far-End Fault When a fault occurs on an incoming fiber link (1), the media converter transmits a Far-End Fault signal on the outgoing fiber link (2). In addition the Far-End Fault signal also activates the Link Pass-Through, which in turn, disables the link on the copper portion of the network (3) and (4).
