Power the Slide-in-Module
The slide-in-module media converter is powered through the Transition
Networks
PointSystem™
chassis.
Operation
Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs next to the fiber ports to monitor the media converter and
the
fiber network
connections.

Use the bi-color twisted-pair status LEDs to monitor the
twisted-pair copper
network
connections.
Duplex/Link LED
Amber = A link on the half-duplex twisted-pair
copper link.
Flashing Amber = Activity on the half-duplex
copper link.
Green = A link on the full-duplex twisted-pair
copper link.
Flashing Green = Activity on the full-duplex
copper link.
Speed LED
Amber = 10 Mb/s operation.
Green = 100 Mb/s operation.
Product Features
Full-Duplex Network
In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by
the type
of cables
that are used. See pages 1 and 2 for the cable specifications for the
different CBFTF10xx-14x models.
The 512-Bit Rule
does not apply
in a full-duplex network.
Half-Duplex Network (512-Bit Rule)
In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the
round trip delay limitations of each Fast Ethernet
collision domain
. (A
collision domain is the longest path between any two terminal devices, e.g. a
terminal
,
switch
, or
router
.)
The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by
calculating the round-trip delay in
bit-times (BT)
of a particular collision
domain. If the result is less than or equal to 512 BT, the path is good.
For more information on the 512-Bit Rule, see the white paper titled
“Collision Domains” on the Transition Networks website at:
