SFEPE10xx-1xx

Installation

CAUTION: Associated Ethernet wiring shall be limited to inside the building.
Install the Fiber Cable
1. Locate or build 100Base-FX fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the SFEPE10xx-1xx media converter as
described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cables to the other device (another media converter,
hub, etc.) as described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.
Connect the fiber cable
to the media converter
as shown.

Install the Copper Cable
1. Locate or build 100Base-TX copper cables with male, 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 media converter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
port on the other device (wireless access point, VoIP phone, network
camera, etc.).

Operation

CAUTION: Both the fiber and copper connections to the SFEPE10xx-1xx media
converter must be of the same network speed and network protocol. Failure to
observe this caution will cause data transfer to fail.
LED Indicators
After installation, the media converter should function without operator
intervention. Use the status LEDs to monitor media converter operation in the
network.

ACT
MDI FAULT On (for 1 to 3 seconds) = The POE sources exceed approximately
0.4 A* of current on the MDI interface.
MDI ON On = The current to the MDI that is greater than approximately 10
mA or less than approximately 0.4 A*. Power to the MDI is
removed if the current is outside this range.
(*Including the in-rush current required to charge the PD (Powered
Device) load capacitance.)
PWR (Power) On = The input voltage is at the proper level (see
"Technical Specifications" on page 10).
TX LINK (Twisted-Pair Link) On = A link from the twisted-pair (100Base-TX)
connection to the work station or remote switch.
TX ACT (Twisted-Pair Activity) Flashing = Activity on the work station or
remote switch.
FL LINK (Fiber Link) On = A link from the fiber (100Base-FX) connection to
the other media converter or remote hub.
FL ACT (Fiber Activity) Flashing = Activity on the other media converter or
remote hub.
