1. INTRODUCTION  
The TRANSITION Networks METTF10xx (Ethernet) and MFETF10xx (Fast  
Ethernet) series Multichannel Media Converters connect twisted-pair  
copper cable to fiber-optic cable in separate copper-to-fiber media  
converter pairs, called channels. The network administrator can select a  
Multichannel Media Converter that provides up to six (6) or up to twelve  
(12) channels, with either 10BASE-T/10BASE-FL or 100BASE-TX  
/100BASE-FX connections and with either ST or SC fiber connectors.  
The Multichannel Media Converter can be installed as a standalone unit  
or in a standard rack and can be managed at an attached terminal or using  
an SNMP application at a remote Network Management Station. Full-  
duplex or half-duplex network operation, for each channel, is switch-  
selectable or software-selectable.

AC Power Supply Module/Optional Redundant  
AC Power Supply Module  
An AC Power Supply Module, installed at the back of the Multichannel  
Media Converter before shipment, supplies power to the Multichannel  
Media Converter through an external power cord connected to an external  
AC outlet.  
NOTE: The Multichannel Media Converter does not have an ON/OFF  
power switch. Power is applied to, and removed from, the Multichannel  
Media Converter by connecting and disconnecting the power cord.  
The Multichannel Media Converter rear panel also contains an expansion  
slot for an optional redundant Power Supply Module. When installed, the  
optional redundant Power Supply Module shares the power load with the  
main AC Power Supply Module. If one power supply fails, the remaining  
power supply assumes the role of providing all power to the Multichannel  
Media Converter, thereby protecting the Multichannel Media Converter  
from a system failure.  
NOTE: Both the redundant Power Supply Module and the main AC Power  
Supply Module can be "hot swapped".

2.1  
Preparing the Site  
Consider the following when choosing a site for the Multichannel Media  
Converter:  
Select a site that provides conditions that conform to the  
environmental requirements listed in the appendix.  
Select a site that is dust-free and moisture-free.  
Do not block the ventilation openings on the Multichannel Media  
Converter. The site should allow for proper heat dissipation from,  
and adequate ventilation around, the Multichannel Media  
Converter.  
Be sure that the site will allow easy access to twisted-pair cables,  
fiber-optic cables, and power cord(s).  
Use dedicated power circuits or power stabilizers to supply  
reliable power to the Multichannel Media Converter.  
Keep twisted-pair cabling away from sources of electrical noise,  
such as radios, electric motors, transmitters, broadband  
amplifiers, power lines, and flourescent fixtures.  
Also:  
ALL NODES connected to the ports on the media converter must  
operate at the same speed: 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s, according to  
Multichannel Media Converter model selected.  
The nodes connected to EACH CHANNEL on the Multichannel  
Media Converter must operate in the same duplex mode, either  
half-duplex or full-duplex. Do NOT, for instance, connect a node  
operating at half-duplex to a twisted-pair port and then connect  
another node operating at full-duplex to the fiber-optic port of the  
same channel.

2 INSTALLATION  
Connecting Channel Ports to Network  
2.6  
Each channel port is connected, using twisted-pair copper and fiber-optic  
cable, to network devices.  
2.6.1 Setting FDX/HDX Channel Configuration Switches  
FDX/HDX (F(ull-)D(uple)X and H(alf)D(uple)X) refers to the manner in  
which a network device sends and receives data on the network. A  
network device that is operating in half-duplex mode either sends data or  
receives data, in turn. A network device that is operating in full-duplex  
mode both sends and receives data, simultaneously.  
NOTE: The Multichannel Media Converter is an HDX/FDX auto-  
negotiating device which transmits "FDX Advertising" signals to attached  
network devices and forces FDX-capable network devices to FDX. Though  
each channel of the Multichannel Media Converter can operate in either  
full-duplex or half-duplex mode, setting the entire network to full-duplex  
mode maximizes throughput and distances. To achieve this, ALL  
interconnected devices must be capable of full-duplex and properly set.  
CAUTION: If any network devices connected to a channel are not  
capable of full-duplex (FDX), then all other channel devices must be set  
to half-duplex (HDX), INCLUDING THE MULTICHANNEL MEDIA  
CONVERTER CHANNEL. Failure to observe this caution will result in  
excess network collisions.  
NOTE: Each channel FDX/HDX switch must be set separately. Do NOT  
connect a node operating at half-duplex to a twisted-pair port and then  
connect another node operating at full-duplex to the fiber-optic port of the  
same channel. Do NOT connect a node operating at full-duplex to a  
twisted-pair port and then connect another node operating at half-duplex  
to the fiber-optic port of the same channel.  
Setting Full-Duplex/Half-Duplex Configuration Switches  
1.  
Locate six (6) FDX/HDX switches that are  
associated with six (6) copper-to-fiber media  
converter channels (DIP switches #1-6 at  
front of Multichannel Media Converter).

2.6.2 Installing Fiber-optic Cable  
Refer to the appendix for cable specifications for the 10BASE-FL or the  
100BASE-FX fiber-optic installation.  
Installing Cable  
1.  
Locate or build 10BASE-FL-compliant or 100BASE-FX-compliant  
cables (depending upon Multichannel Media Converter selected  
for the site), with male two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed  
at both ends.  
2.  
3.  
Connect TX and RX connectors at one end of cable to mating  
Multichannel Media Converter TX and RX fiber-optic connector.  
Connect cable with connector installed at TX location on  
Multichannel Media Converter channel to RX location on  
attached network device.  
TX  
RX

4.  
Connect cable with connector installed at RX location on  
Multichannel Media Converter channel to TX location on  
attached network device.  
Testing Fiber Link(s)  
NOTE: The Link Test switch (DIP switch #7) enables and disables the Link  
Test feature for a block of six (6) Multichannel Media Converter channels.  
When the Link Test feature is enabled (set to NORMAL position), if the  
Multichannel Media Converter senses loss of a twisted-pair link, the  
associated fiber-optic link is cut. Then the remote device senses loss of the  
fiber-optic link and, if the remote device is another Multichannel Media  
Converter also set to NORMAL mode, the remote Multichannel Media  
Converter disables the twisted-pair port. Finally the remote device  
becomes aware that the link to the opposite end device connected to this  
channel is not fully functional and subsequently triggers a back-up  
mechanism (if so equipped) and/or alerts the network manager.  
Thus, when the Link Test feature is enabled (set to NORMAL position), if a  
Multichannel Media Converter does not detect a good link on the twisted-  
pair 10BASE-T /100BASE-TX side of any channel, the Multichannel Media  
Converter disables all data transmission (including active-idle) on the  
fiber-optic 10BASE-FL/100BASE-FX side of that channel.  
However, the network administrator facing a device with no link  
indication cannot tell whether that no link indication is due to the loss of  
the fiber-optic link or due to loss of the remote twisted-pair link.  
Therefore, when installing a fiber-optic network, disable the Link Test  
feature (set to TEST position) to establish that the Multichannel Media  
Converter fiber-optic links are operational and THEN connect network  
devices through the twisted-pair links.
