Power the Media Converter
AC
1. Install the power adapter cord to 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 Suppy for powering the Media Converter.
INSTALLATION -- Continued
COPPER
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 J/E-CF-02 Media Converter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
port on the other device (switch, workstation, etc.).

Features
AutoCross™
The AutoCross™ feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover
(MDI-X) cables to be used when connecting to 10Base-TX devices (hubs,
transceivers, NICs, etc.). AutoCross determines the characteristics of the cable
connection and automatically configures the unit to link up, regardless of the
cable configuration. (Requires no operator intervention).
LinkAlert™
Because most Ethernet™ technologies are unable to recognize downlink
faults, a failed link may appear normal to network management; requiring
unnecessary troubleshooting. When the LinkAlert™ feature is activated, the
media converter passes copper-side link faults to the fiber side and fiber-side
links to the copper-side. This feature allows all faults to be detected by
network management.
NOTE: An enable/disable switch allows the LinkAlert™ feature to be
disabled. LinkAlert™ may interfere with the Auto-Negotiation feature of other
devices in networks where there are two media converters installed in series.
