OPERATION
Using Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs to monitor media converter operation in the network.
100
(Speed) Dark LED indicates 10 Mb/s operation.
Slow blinking LED indicates speed is
not yet selected.
Fast blinking LED indicates 100 Mb/s.
PWR
(Power) Steady LED indicates
connection to external AC power.
RXF
(Fiber receive) Flashing LED indicates
reception of data on fiber link.
LKF
(Fiber link) Steady LED indicates fiber link connection.
Dark LED indicates lack of power OR downed link.
RXC
(Receive -
copper
) Flashing LED indicates data reception on
copper link.
LKC
(Copper link) Steady LED indicates copper link connection.
Dark LED indicates lack of power OR downed link.
Using SNMP*
Use SNMP at an attached terminal or at a remote location to:
•
Monitor media converter by monitoring:
Media Converter Power
Copper Link Status
Fiber Link Status
Copper Receive Status
Fiber Receive Status
Hardware Switch settings
Media Converter Speed
•
Enter network commands that:
Enable/disable AutoCross
™
Power Down Media Converter.
*See the on-line documentation that comes with TRANSITION Networks
FocalPoint
™
software for direction.
Using AutoCross
™
*
The AutoCross™ feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover
(MDI-X) cables to be used when connecting to 10BASE-T or to 100BASE-TX
devices, such as hubs, transceivers, or network interface cards (NICs).
AutoCross
™
determines the characteristics of the cable connection and
automatically configures the unit to link up, regardless of the cable
configuration.
*Requires no operator intervention.
Using Auto-negotiation**
The CSETF10xx series media converter auto-negotiation feature allows the
media converter to be used with 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-FL and
100BASE-SX ports. Using auto-negotiation, the media converter brings up the
copper and fiber links in the highest speed and mode possible for ALL the
attached network devices.
NOTE: The CSETF10xx series media converter does NOT support rate
conversion between 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s network devices.
**Requires no operator intervention.
Using LinkAlert™
The CSETF10xx series media converter LinkAlert™ feature allows the media
converter to pass 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX-side link faults over the link to the
10BASE-T/100BASE-SX side and to pass 10BASE-FL/100BASE-SX-side link
faults over the link to the 10BASE-FL/100BASE-TX side.
If the CSETF10xx media converter does not detect a good link on the
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX side, the CSETF10xx disables all transmission
(including active-idle) on the 10BASE-FL/100BASE-SX side.
