Operation
Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs to monitor the E-100BTX-FX-05 media converter operation in the network:
Power (Power) On = Connected 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 fullor half-duplex) and negotiates the best mode of operation
between the two devices.
Pause Control
The Pause 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 feature is available on ALL network devices attached to the media converter(s), enable
the Pause feature on the media converter(s); otherwise, disable the Pause feature.
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 (1), the media converter will
automatically disable the TX (transmit) signal (2), thus, “passing through” the link loss (3). The far-end
device is automatically notified of the link loss (4), which prevents the loss of valuable data unknowingly
transmitted over an invalid link.
