E-100BTX-FX-05(10x)
Installation
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when setting the 4-position switch and jumper. Failure to observe
this caution could result in damage to the media converter.
4-Position Switch
The 4-position switch is located on
the side of the media converter. Use
a small flat-blade screwdriver or a
similar device to set the switches
(see the drawing to the right).
1. Auto-Negotiation
up
= Advertises 100Mb/s full-duplex and half-duplex.
down
= Disables Auto-Negotiation. The media converter operates at 100
Mb/s in duplex mode (full or half) of the attached device. (This
setting is primarily used when connecting to a hub).
2. Pause Control Frame
(Applies only if switch 1 is up and the media converter is connected to Auto-
Negotiation device(s) capable of Pause Control Frame.)
up
= Enabled
down
= Disabled
3. Link Pass-Through
up
= Enabled
down
= Disabled
4. Far-End Fault
up
= Enabled
down
= Disabled.
AutoCross™ Jumper
The AutoCross feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover
(MDI-X) cables to be used when connecting to devices such as hubs,
transceivers, or network interface cards (NICs). AutoCross determines the
characteristics of the cable connection and automatically configures the
media converter to link up, regardless of the cable configuration.
The jumper is located on the circuit board, header J3. To set the jumper:
1.
Using a small screwdriver, remove the four (4)
screws securing the device cover, then remove it.
2.
Locate the jumper on header J3. Use a small
needle-nosed pliers to move the jumper to the
desired position (see the drawing to the right).
3.
Carefully replace the cover; then replace the four
(4) screws to secure the cover to the media
converter.
