INSTALLATION

-- Continued

Install the Twisted-Pair Copper Cable

1.

Locate or build IEEE 803.2

compliant 10Base-T or 100Base-TX cables,

with straight-through RJ-45 cable, and with straight-through RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.

2.

Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port
connector on the Media Converter.

3.

Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
port connector on the other device (switch, workstation, etc.).

NOTE: The MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover) cable connection is
configured automatically, according to the network conditions.

Install the Fiber Cable

1.

Locate or build IEEE 803.2

compliant 100Base-FX fiber cable with

male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.

2.

Connect the fiber cables to the CBFTF10xx-15x Media Converter as
described:

Connect the male TX cable connector the female TX connector.

Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX connector.

3.

Power the Media Converter

The CBFTF10xx-15x Slide-in-Module Media Converter is powered through the
Point System™ chassis.

OPERATION

Status LEDs

Use the status LEDs to monitor the Media
Converter and the network connections.

FDPX (Fiber Duplex)

ON = full-duplex fiber connection.

Blinking = half-duplex fiber connection.

FLNK (Fiber Link)

ON = fiber link connection.

Blinking = fiber network activity.

PWR (Power)

ON = connection to external AC power.

TSPD (Twisted-Pair Speed)

ON = 100 Mb/s.

Blinking = 10 Mb/s.

TDPX (Twisted-Pair Duplex)

ON = full-duplex copper connection.

LED off = half-duplex copper connection.

TLKN(Twisted-Pair Link)

ON = copper link connection.

Blinking = copper network activity.
