Install The Fiber Cable - Transition Networks SGETF1013-110 User Manual

SGETF10xx-1xx
Installation
-- Continued
Install Mode
During installation, set converter DIP switch 4 DOWN; leave all other switches in
the UP position (default). This disables Transparent Link Pass-Through and Auto-
Negotiation, allowing individual copper and fiber links to be established (both copper
port LEDs will turn ON with each device-to-device connection) independent of a complete
end-to-end connection.
Operation Mode
After installation is complete (all copper and fiber ports connected and linked), set all
switches to the UP position (default)).
Fiber Auto-Negotiation
Fiber Auto-Negotiation allows the fiber interface to detect and then advertise the
supported features of the remote device; this occurs only when a fiber cable is
connected to a device with a negotiating port. The process is as follows:
1. The fiber interface detects the supported features of the remote partner.
2. These abilities are passed to the twisted-pair interface and advertised.
3. Once the twisted-pair interface has a link at the highest common capability, it
passes the result to the fiber interface.
4. The fiber interfaces then start advertising these capabilities. At this point, the
link between the fiber and the negotiating port is complete.
If the SGETF10xu-1xu is connected via fiber to another SGETF10xu-1xu, both media
converters must have the Fiber Auto-Negotiation setting disabled (switch 5 UP).
Note: Transparent Link Pass-Through (switch position 4 enabled) cannot be turned
OFF (disabled) when Fiber Auto-Negotiation is ON (enabled).

Install the fiber cable

1. Locate a 1000Base-SX/LX compliant fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX
to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the SGETF10xx-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.
