CISPR/EN55022 Class A
FCC Regulations
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at the user's own expense.
Canadian Regulations
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise for digital apparatus set out on
the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
European Regulations
Warning
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

USER'S GUIDE
The TRANSITION Networks slide-in-module media converters, C/TR-CF-01 and
C/TR-CF-01(SM), designed to be installed in the TRANSITION Networks Media
Conversion Center, E-MCC-1600, connect unshielded or shielded Token Ring
twisted-pair copper cable to Token Ring multimode fiber-optic cable OR
singlemode fiber-optic cable.
C/TR-CF-01
Provides a Token Ring RJ-45 twisted-pair
connector and an RX (receive) and a TX
(transmit) ST connector to multimode
fiber-optic cable for fiber network
extension distances up to 2 kilometers.
C/TR-CF-01(SM)
Provides a Token Ring RJ-45 twisted-pair
connector and an RX (receive) and a TX
(transmit) ST connector to singlemode
fiber-optic cable for fiber network
extension distances up to 15 kilometers.
Both media converters function at 4Mb/s or 16Mb/s in half-duplex mode or,
when connected to devices capable of full-duplex connectivity, in full-duplex
mode for up to 32Mb/s total throughput.
Status LEDs
P(o)w(e)r Steady green LED indicates connection to
external AC power.
Ins(erted) Steady green LED indicates twisted-pair and
fiber connections negotiated link.
SDC
S(ignal) D(etect) C(opper) Steady green LED indicates
twisted-pair link is up and ready to insert.
S(ignal) D(etect) F(iber) Steady green LED indicates fiber
link is up and ready to insert.
NOTE: The fiber interface LEDs are NOT illuminated until the twisted-pair side
has been initialized and asserts a phantom voltage to the fiber. (See a description
of the activity of the Token Ring twisted-pair to fiber signal in "Media Converters
in the Network" on page 4.)

    TROUBLESHOOTING SUGGESTIONS 1. Is the p(o)w(e)r LED on the media converter illuminated? • Is the Slide-In-Module properly connected to the Media Conversion Center chasis backplane? • Is the Power Supply Module properly connected both to the Media Conversion Center chasis backplane and to the AC outlet? •...
  • Page 4 ‘token’ on which the Token Ring protocol is based and therefore prevents data transmission. Token Ring concentrators implement a loopback function which, in the event of a break in the ring, loops back the ring to isolate the break. Transition Networks Token Ring media converters are designed to preserve this fault-recovery feature.
