Installation
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when setting the switches and when installing the slide-in-module.
Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure
of, the media converter.
Set the MDI / MDI-X Switch
The MDI / MDI-X switch is
located on the media
converter circuit board. See
the drawing to the right for
the different MDI/MDI-X
configurations.
To satisfy the requirements for the 10Base-T connection, set the MDI / MDI-X
switch as directed:
Install the Slide-in-Module
To install the CETCT10xx-10x slide-in-module media converter:
1. Locate and empty slot on the PointSystem™ chassis.
2. Carefully slide the slide-in-module into the installation slot, aligning the
module with the installation guides.
3. Ensure that the slide-in-module is firmly seated inside the chassis.
4. Push in and rotate the attached panel fastener screw clockwise to secure
the slide-in-module to the chassis front.

Installation -- Continued
Install the Coax Cable
1. Locate or build 10Base-2 compliant fiber cable with female, BNC
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the BNC cable connector at one end of the cable to the BNC
port on the media converter.
NOTE: Install a 50 Ω terminator on the BNC port or ensure that the 50 Ω
switch is set to “50.”
3. Connect the BNC cable connector at the other end of the cable to the
BNC port on the 10Base-2 compliant device.
NOTE: Ensure that the 10Base-2 coax cables are terminated properly at
both ends. In a coax thinnet installation, the first and last device in a
daisy-chain must be terminated using a 50 Ωterminator. Also, ensure
that the 10Base-2 segment is grounded to earth ground at a single point.
Connect the coax cable
to the first media
converter as shown.
Connect the coax cable
to the 10Base-2 compliant
device as shown
Install the 10Base-T Cable
1. Locate or build 10Base-T compliant copper cables with male, RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on
the media converter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
port on the 10Base-T compliant device

Operation
Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs to monitor media converter operation in the network.
PWR On = The media converter is connected to external power.
LNK On = 10Base-T link connection.
RXT Flashing = Reception of data on the 10Base-T copper link.
RX2 Flashing = Reception of data on the 10Base-2 copper link.
COL Flashing = Signal collisions on the 10Base-2 port.
Installation -- Continued
Set the 0/50
ΩΩ
Switch
Use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to set the recessed switch on the front
panel of the media converter.
The 0/50 Ωswitch is used to satisfy the terminating/grounding requirements
for the media converter.
•0 ΩΩ= The 10Base-2 connection at the media
converter is NOT terminated.
•50 ΩΩ= The 10Base-2 connection at the media
converter is terminated.

SNMP
See the on-line documentation that comes with Transition Networks
FocalPoint™ software for applicable commands and usage.
Use SNMP at an attached terminal or at a remote location to monitor the
media converter by monitoring:
• 10Base-T link status
• 10Base-T activity status.
• 10Base-2 activity status.
• 10Base-2 collision status.
