CCSCF30xx-10x
Slide-in-Module Media Converter
• DS3 or T3 / E3
• Coax (BNC) to Fiber
Transition Networks CCSCF30xx-10x series media
converters encode and decode DS3 or E3 coax
copper signals over fiber optic cable to extend the
distance and transmission reliability of high-speed
DS3 or E3 data traffic. The CCSCF30xx-10x,
which is designed to be installed in a Transition
Networks PointSystem™ chassis, also connects
remote locations via T3/E3 cable.
NOTE: The SCSCF30xx-10x model is the stand-alone version of the media
converter. For more information, see the SCSCF30xx-10x user’s guide on-line at

Installation
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when setting the jumpers. Failure to observe this caution could result
in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the media converter.
Set the Hardware/Software Jumper (J3)
The hardware/software jumper is located on the circuit board of the media
converter. Use a small needle-nose pliers or similar device to move the jumper
to the desired position.
Hardware The media converter mode is determined
by the switch settings.
Software The media converter mode is determined
by the most-recently saved, on-board
microprocessor settings.
Set the Coax Grounding Jumpers (J11 & J12) (Optional)
NOTE: Modify the settings for J11 and J12 only if necessary.
Jumpers 11 and 12 (located on the circuit board near the coax ports) provide a
grounding feature so that the CCSCF30xx-10x media converter complies with
the G.703 specification where:
• The output coax port is connected to chassis ground.
• A provision to connect the input coax port to chassis ground is provided.
The factory settings for these two jumpers are:
Jumper 12 (jumpered) = Output coax port is connected to chassis ground.
Jumper 11 (not-jumpered) = Input coax port is not connected to chassis ground.
