C/E-100BTX-FX-05 IN THE NETWORK

Use the media converter (or two media converters in pairs) to connect a
workstation to a remote hub or to connect two hubs, switches, or workstations.
TRANSITION Networks C/E-100BTX-FX-05 100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX media
converters connect 100BASE-TX Ethernet
fiber cable.
The default copper connection to the media converter is autocrossed, so that
either straight-through or crossover cable can be used when connecting the media
converter through twisted-pair copper to a device. An internal jumper allows the
autocross feature to be disabled. (See INSTALLATION.).
A four-position switch allows selection of autonegotiation, of half-duplex or full-
duplex, and of fault detection/handling.

Optionally Modify Two-Position Jumper Settings
NOTE: Jumpers, located on C/E-100BTX-FX-05 series media converter circuit
boards, are shipped with the default J3 jumper settings ENABLE Autocross .
ONLY IF THE SITE REQUIRES JUMPER SETTINGS THAT DISABLE
AUTOCROSS SHOULD THE JUMPER SETTINGS BE CHANGED.
ENABLE AUTOCROSS When Jumper J3 is in the enabled (DEFAULT)
position, either straight-through or crossover cable can be used when
connecting the media converter through twisted-pair copper to a device. The
media converter determines the characteristics of the cable connection and
automatically configures the media converter to link up with the attached
device.
DISABLE AUTOCROSS When Jumper J3 is in the disabled position, straight-
through or crossover cables must be selected and installed according to the
device connected to the media converter . (See page 10.)
To optionally set two-position jumper J3:
1.
2.
Locate two-position jumper on circuit
board.
Using small needle-nosed pliers or
similar device and referring to drawing
for jumper positions, move jumper to
new position.
