2.6 Ethernet Ports
RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): The RJ-45 port is auto-sensing for 10/100Base-Tx, or 1000Base-
Tx device connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that the media converter can connect to another
switch or workstation without changing the straight-through or crossover cabling. See the figures
shown below for the straight-through and crossover cabling schematics.
RJ-45 Pin Assignments (Table 2.3)

The RJ45 port on this industrial Ethernet media converter supports automatic MDI operations. Users
can use straight-through cables (Figure 2.4 & Figure 2.5) for all network connections to PCs, servers,
and other switches or hubs. With a straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable,
are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the cable. The table below
(Table 2.3) shows the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T MDI port pin outs.
Note:
The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair.

The following figures show the cabling schematics for straight-through and crossover cables.
2.7 Cabling
Twisted-pair segments can be connected with an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded
twisted pair (STP) cable. The cable between the equipment and the link partner (media
converter, switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
The small form‐factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in optical
communications for both telecommunication and data communication applications.
To connect the transceiver and LC cable, please follow below steps:
oStep 1 - Insert the SFP transceiver module into the SFP slot as shown below in
Figure 2.6. Notice that the triangle mark is at the bottom of the SFP slot. Figure
2.7shows the SFP transceiver module was inserted.

5. Network Application
This segment provides an example of an industrial Ethernet media converter application
(Figure 5.1).
6. Trouble Shooting
Always verify the right power cord or adapter is being used. Never use a power supply or
adapter with a non-compliant DC output voltage or it will burn the equipment.
Select the proper UTP or STP cable in order to construct the network. Use an unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100Ω Category
5e for 10/100/1000Mbps. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does
not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Diagnosing LED Indicators: To assist in identifying problems, the media converter can be
easily monitored with the LED indicators which help to identity if any problems exist.
oPlease refer to the LED Indicators section for LED light indication.
If the power indicator LED does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, the user
may have a problem with the power cord. Check for loose power connections, power losses
or surges at the power outlet.
oPlease contact Antaira for technical support service, if the problem still cannot
be resolved.
If the industrial media converter LED indicators are normal and the connected cables are
correct but the packets still cannot transmit, please check the system’s Ethernet devices’
configuration or status.
