Installation
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when setting the 4-position switch and the jumpers and when
installing the CRMFE10xx-20x slide-in-module into the PointSystem™ chassis.
Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent
failure of, the media converter.
Set the 4-Position Switch
SRMFE10xx-200: The switch is on
the side of the media converter
housing.
CRMFE10xx-20x: The switch is on
the media converter ciruit board.
Use a small flatblade screwdriver or a similar device to set the recessed
switches. Refer to the drawing (above) for the locations of the four individual
switches.

Set the Jumpers
Both jumpers are located on the media converter circuit board.
Enable/Disable AutoCross™
The AutoCross jumper is labeled “J2”. The drawing illustrates the two
settings:
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 (see page 9).
NOTE: Factory default is “enable AutoCross.” Transition networks
recommends leaving the deivce in the “enable” mode.
Hardware/Software Mode
The Hardware/Software mode jumper is labeled “J6”. The drawing illustrates
the two settings:
Hardware The media converter mode is determined by
the 4-position switch settings (see the “4-
Position switch” section on page 3).
Software The media converter mode is determined by
the most-recently saved, on-board
microprocessor settings.
Setting the Jumpers
To set the jumpers on the CRMFE10xx-20x, use small needle-nosed pliers or
similar device to move the jumper to the desired position.
To set the jumpers on the SRMFE10xx-20x:
1. Using a small screwdriver, remove the four (4) screws that secure the
cover to the media converter.
2. Carefully remove the cover from the media converter and locate the
jumper on the circuit board.
3. Using small needle-nosed pliers or similar device, move the jumper to
the desired position.
4. Carefully replace the cover on the media converter and replace the four
(4) screws that secure the cover to the media converter.

Install the CRMFE10xx-20x Slide-In-Module
CAUTION: Slots in the PointSystem™ chassis without a slide-in-module
installed MUST have a protective plate covering the empty slot for Class A
and/or Class B compliance.
To install the CRMFE10xx-20x media converter slide-in-module:
1. Locate an empty installation 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 module is firmly seated inside the chassis.
4. Push in and rotate the attached panel fastener screw clockwise to secure
the module to the chassis front.

manufacturer of the power supply.
1. Connect the barrel connector on the power adapter to the media
converter’s power port (located on the back of the media converter).
2. Connect the power adapter plug to AC power.
3. Verify that the media converter is powered by observing the illuminated
LED power indicator light.
DC
Consult the user’s guide for the Transition Networks SPS1872-xx DC external
power supply for powering the media converter.

Product Features
Secure and Transparent Data
The data is both secure and transparent because it uses none of the Ethernet
bandwidth. In addition, the data exists outside the normal Ethernet framing
format.
Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the media converter automatically
configures itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link.
The media converter broadcasts its speed (10Mb/s, 100Mb/s, or 1000Mb/s)
and duplex capabilities (full or half) to the other device 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 to determine the best mode of operation.
A scenario where the media converter is linked to a non-negotiating device is
a case where the user may want to disable Auto-Negotiation. In this instance,
the mode of operation will drop to the least common denominator between
the two devices (e.g. 10 Mb/s, half-duplex). Disabling this feature gives the
user the ability to force the connection to the best mode of operation.
NOTE: The media converter does NOT support rate conversion between
10Mb/s, 100Mb/s, and 1000Mb/s network devices.
Link Pass-Through
The Link Pass-Through feature 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 on one media port, the media converter will automatically
disable the TX (transmit) signal of the other media port, thus, “passing
through” the link loss.
Remote Management Function
The SRMFE10xx-20x stand-alone media converter can be remotely managed
when connected via fiber cable to a local CRMFE10xx-20x slide-in-module
media converter that is installed in a managed Transition Networks
PointSystem™ chassis.
See page 10 for the available SNMP commands that enable the user to both
monitor and manage both the local and remote media converters.

Product Features -- Continued
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).
Pause
The pause feature is used to temporarily suspend data transmission in order to
relieve buffer congestion. If a media converter needs some time to clear
network congestion, it will send a pause signal to the media converter at the
other end, which will wait a predetermined amount of time before re-
transmitting the data. This feature reduces data bottlenecks, allows for a more
efficient use of the network devices, and prevents the loss of valuable data.
In Hardware mode, the pause feature can be set to
• Disable (i.e., no pause)
• Enable (i.e., symmetrical pause)
In Software mode, the pause feature can be set to one of four settings:
• Disable (i.e., no pause)
• Symmetrical pause
• Asymmetric TX (transmit) pause
• Asymmetric RX (receive) pause
Enable the pause feature if it is present on ALL network devices attached to
the media converter(s). Otherwise, disable the pause feature.
AutoCross™
The AutoCross feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-
X) cables to be used when connecting to 100Base-TX devices, such as hubs,
transceivers, or network interface cards (NICs). AutoCross determines the
characteristics of the cable connection and automatically configures the unit
to link up, regardless of the cable configuration.
NOTE: Factory default is “enable AutoCross.” Transition networks
recommends leaving the deivce in the “enable” mode.

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 local
CRMFE10xx-20x media converter by monitoring:
• Copper and fiber link status.
• Enable/disable Auto-Negotiation.
• Enable/disable pause feature.
• Enable/disable Link Pass-Through.
• Enable/disable Far-End Fault.
• Enable/disable AutoCross.
• Enable/disable the CRMFE10xx-20x media converter.
• Uptime (d:h:m:s) counter with reset.
• TX (copper) receive bytes and FX (fiber) receive bytes counters (a
single reset command resets both functions).
• MSC TX (transmit) bytes and MSC RX (receive) bytes counters (a
single reset command resets both functions).
• Bandwidth allocation in 64Kbytes/s units. (Two fields, one for TX
(copper) to FX (fiber) and one for FX (fiber) to TX (copper), are
available.)
Also, use SNMP to monitor the remote SRMFE10xx-20x media converter with
the following network commands:
• Copper and fiber link status.
• Enable/disable Auto-Negotiation.
• Enable/disable pause feature.
• Enable/disable Link Pass-Through.
• Enable/disable Far-End Fault.
• Enable/disable AutoCross.
• Uptime (d:h:m:s) counter with reset command.
• Loopback: Data sent fom the TX interface is intercepted and looped
back the RX interface. The data is not sent out and data coming into
the receiver from the copper cable is ignored.
