CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions
when handling the media converter. Failure to observe this caution could result in
damage to, and subsequent failure of, the media converter slide-in-module.
Six-position switch 140 and 180 models
The 140/180 six-position switch is located on the circuit board of the media
converter. Use a small, flat-blade screwdriver (or a similar device) to set the
switches according to the site requirements (see the drawing below for the 140).

AutoCross jumper (model 140 only)
The AutoCross feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X)
cables to be used when connecting to 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T
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 to its companion device regardless of the cable configuration.
The AutoCross jumper is the three-pin header J6 on the circuit board (labeled NA = No
Autocross and A = AutoCross). See Jumper positions below.
Note: Use small needle-nose pliers to set the jumper.
A Either straight-through or crossover cable can be
used for all twisted-pair copper links.
NA Straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cable,
depending on installed site devices, MUST be
installed at EACH end of the twisted-pair copper
link.
Note: Factory default is “A” enabled. Transition Networks recommends leaving
the jumper in the “enable” position.

Operation
Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs to monitor media converter operations.
Fiber status LEDs
The status LEDs for the SFPs fiber connection (labeled PWR amd LKx) are located
next to the fiber port (Port 2).
PWR (Power): ON Green = connection
to external AC power.
LK1/LK2/LK3: Link Activity
ON Green = A link has
been established for the
fiber connection.
Flashing = The fiber
connection is
transmitting or receiving
data.
Copper status LEDs (model 140 only)
The status LEDs for the copper connection are
integrated into the RJ-45 port. These LEDs are not
labeled on the media converter. Refer to the drawing
to the right for their locations.
Duplex/Link:
Orange: A link in half-duplex
mode has been established for the copper connection.
Flashing Orange: The copper connection is transmitting/receiving data
in half-duplex mode.
Green: A link in full-duplex mode has been established for
the copper connection.
Flashing Green: The copper connection is transmitting/receiving data
in full-duplex mode.
Speed:
OFF: 10 Mb/s operation.
Orange: 100 Mb/s operation.
Green: 1000 Mb/s operation.

Operation—continued
Product features
Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the SGFEBxx40-1xx. media converter to
configure itself automatically to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a
link. The media converter broadcasts its speed (10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, or 1000 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 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.
100 Mb/s, half-duplex). Disabling this feature provides the ability to force the
connection to the best mode of operation.
Far-end fault (model 180, Port 1 only)
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).
Fiber redundancy
The CGFEBxx40-1xx media converters have two fiber SFP ports: one can be
configured as the primary port and one as the secondary port. When redundancy is
enabled (SW4 Down), any fault on the primary port results in the secondary port
becoming operational. There is the option to revert back to the primary port once it
has been restored (revert “enabled,” SW5 down). These configurations are set by
the user.

Product features -- continued
Pause
The pause feature is used to suspend data transmission temporarily 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.
Automatic link restoration
The converter will automatically restore the link between networked devices after a
fault condition has been corrected. Competitors’ products, in contrast, require the
user to power down, then power up the converters after a fault condition has been
corrected.
