Installation -- Continued
Installing the fiber cable
1. Locate a 100Base-FX compliant fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to
RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the media converter as described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cables to the other device (another media converter,
hub, etc.) as described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.
Installing the copper cable
1. Locate or build 100Base-TX 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 other device (switch, workstation, etc.).

Operation
Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs to monitor the E-100BTX-FX-05 media converter
operation in the network.
Power (Power) On = Connection to external AC power.
SDF (Signal Detect/Fiber) On = Fiber link is detected.
SDC (Signal Detect/Copper) On = Copper link is detected.
RXC (Receive/Copper) Flashing = A signal is being received on
the copper link.
RXF (Receive/Fiber) Flashing = A signal is being received on
the fiber link.
Auto-Negotiation
When the Auto-Negotiation feature is activated, the media converter
configures itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link
automatically. The media converter broadcasts its speed (100 Mb/s) and
duplex capabilities (either full- or half-duplex) and negotiates the best mode of
operation between the two devices.
