Installation -- Continued
Set the AutoCross™ Jumper
When the AutoCross feature is activated, it allows either straight-through or
crossover cables to be used when connecting to 100Base-TX devices.
AutoCross determines the characteristics of the connection and automatically
configures the unit to link up, regardless of the cable configuration.
• The jumper is located on the circuit board labeled “D” and “E”.
• Use small needle-nose pliers to remove and position the jumper.
Disable Either straight-through or crossover
twisted-pair copper cable must be
installed, according to the site
requirements.
Enable The media converter connects
automatically to either straight-through or
crossover twisted-pair copper cable.
NOTE: AutoCross is enabled by default.” Transition networks recommends
leaving the jumper in the “enable” position.
Install the media converter
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when installing the CFETF10xx-205 media converter. Failure to
observe this caution could result in damage to or failure of, the media converter.
1. Carefully slide the media converter into the slot, aligning it with the slot
guides.
2. Ensure that the converter is firmly seated into the slot.
3. Push in and rotate the attached panel fastener screw clockwise to secure
the converter to the chassis.

Product Features
Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the CFETF10xx-205 media converter to
automatically configure itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation
over a link. The media converter broadcasts its speed (100 Mb/s) and duplex
capabilities (full or half) to the other devices and negotiates the best mode of
operation. Auto-Negotiation allows quick and easy installation because the
optimal link is established automatically. No user intervention is required.
A scenario where the media converter is linked to a non-negotiating device,
disable Auto-Negotiation. In this instance, the mode of operation will drop to
the least common denominator between the two devices (e.g., 100 Mb/s,
half-duplex). Disabling this feature enables forcing the connection to the best
mode of operation.
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 (BTU) of a particular collision
domain. If the result is less than or equal to 512 BTU, 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: www.transition.com

Operation -- Continued
Full-Duplex Network
In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type
of cables used. See page 1 (front cover) for available CFETF10xx-205 models.
The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex network.
Pause Control Frame
The pause control feature can improve network performance by allowing one
end of the link to signal the other to discontinue frame transmission for a set
period of time to relieve buffer congestion.
NOTE: If the pause control feature is present on ALL network devices attached
to the media converter(s), enable the pause control feature on the media
converter(s). Otherwise, disable this feature.
Link Pass-Through
When the Link Pass-Through feature is activated, it allows the media
converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX (receive) ports for loss of
signal. In the event of a loss of an RX signal (1), the media converter will
automatically disable the TX (transmit) signal (2), thus, “passing through” the
link loss (3). The far-end device is notified automatically of the link loss (4),
which prevents the loss of valuable data transmitted unknowingly over an
invalid.
Far-End Fault
When a fault occurs on an incoming fiber link (1), the media converter
transmits a Far-End Fault signal on the outgoing fiber link (2). In addition, the
Far-End Fault signal also activates the Link Pass-Through, which in turn
disables the link on the copper portion of the network (3) and (4).
