SSDTF10xx-10x
Installation -- Continued
Install the copper cable
1. Locate or build twisted-pair copper cables that are compliant with the
specifications on page 11 with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
2. Ensure that the MDI/MDI-X switch is set according to the network conditions
(see page 3).
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of cable to the RJ-45 port on the
media converter.
4. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on
the other device (switch, workstation, etc.).
Install the fiber cable
1. Locate or build fiber cables with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors
installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the local SSDTF10xx-10x 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 remote SSDTF10xx-10x media converter as
described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.

Operation
After installation, the media converter should function without operator
intervention. Use the status LEDs to monitor the media converter operation in the
network.
SDC (Signal Detect/Copper) ON = the twisted-pair copper link is up.
SDF (Signal Detect/Fiber) ON = the fiber link is up.
PWR (Power) ON = the media converter is connected to
external power.
Dry-contact relay
The RJ-45 copper port has a dry-contact relay
that opens if the power, signal detect/copper, or
signal detect/fiber are lost. The operational
rating on pins 3 and 6 are 0-30 VDC, 100 mA
(maximum).
Remote management function
A remote, stand-alone media converter (revision SSDTF10xx-105 or higher) can be
managed when connected to a local CSDTF10xx-105 media converter. Please note
that in a managed network, both the local and remote media converters must be set to
“software” mode (see page 3). For more information, see the SNMP section in the
CSDTF10xx-10x manual online at: www.transition.com
Installation -- Continued
Power the media converter
Note: The external power supply provided with this product is UL listed by the
power supply’s manufacturer.
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.
For DC power, consult the user’s guide for the Transition Networks SPS1872-xx
DC external power supply for powering the media converter.
