SBFTF1010-130
10/100 Fault-Tolerant Redundant Link
Protector
• 10/100 Base-T(x) to 10/100 Base-T(x)
• Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
The SBFTF1010-130 is a fault-tolerant redundant link protector provides redundant
paths for fast Ethernet devices. It has three ports: main, primary, and backup. Typically,
the main port connects to a critical 10/100 fast Ethernet device. The primary port and the
backup port connect to two different switch ports or two different ports on separate
switches. When the unit powers up, it checks the primary port for a link signal; if the
signal is present, the main and primary ports connect and the signal from the backup port
is then disabled. Any device connected to the backup port will not detect a signal at this
time. However, if the device does not detect a signal on the primary port, then the main
port and backup port connect.

Installation
CAUTION: Do Not install the SBFTF1010-130 fault-tolerant redundant link protector
in location where it might be exposed to wetness. Failure to observe this caution could
result in damage to the device.
Note: See the diagrams below and use a very small flatblade screwdriver or similar
tool to set the DIP switch.

When Auto-Negotiation is enabled (switch #1 UP), the bridging media
converter advertises all rate and mode capabilities to the network:
100Mb/s full duplex, 100Mb/s half-duplex, 10Mb/s full duplex, and
10Mb/s half duplex.
Jumper (shunt)
The 3-pin header located on the inner surface of the board is used to select
“redundancy.” See photo below. Redundancy Mode automatically switches data
transfer responsibilities to the seconday port if the primary port fails.
Note: Switches “#3” and “#4” are non-functional when switch “#1” is in the UP
position (Auto-Negotiation enabled).

Installation --continued
Operation
Installing the twisted-pair copper cable
Status LEDs
1. Locate or build an IEEE 802.3 compliant 10Base-T or 100Base-TX cables, with
male RJ-45 connectors installed onto both ends.
There are three (3) LEDs on the converter chassis front panel and two (2) on each TP
port.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the
bridging media converter as shown below.
Chassis LEDs
Power (PWR):
Primary:
LED ON indicates connection to an external AC power source
ON when the primary port is in use
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.) as shown below.
Backup:
ON when the backup port is in use
Note: The MDI (straight-through) cable or the MDI-X (crossover) cable connection is
configured automatically, according to network conditions.
TP port LEDs
LINK/ACT/SPD:
Green (ON) for 100 Mbps and Link/Act; Flashing when
transmitting data; Orange for 10Mbps
Duplex (DPX):
Green (ON) for full duplex; OFF for half duplex

Cable Specifications
1. Connect the barrel connector of the adapter to the power port of the bridging
media converter (located on the back of the converter shown below).
Copper cable (10Base-T/100Base-TX)
2. Connect the power adapter plug into AC power: if all the configuration switches
are in the UP position, the port LEDs will flicker during the initialization
process and then go OFF.
Ensure that the correct cable type is installed to support the highest speed and mode of
operation. Though category 3 cable is adequate for a 10Base-T installation, category 5
cable is recommended, since category 3 cable DOES NOT support 100Base-TX.
Note: The power-on LED will be lit (ON).

• Straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) cable may be used.
• Shielded (STP) or unshielded (UTP) twisted-pair cable may be used.
• Pins 1/2 and 3/6 are the two active pairs in an Ethernet network.
• Use only dedicated wire pairs for the active pins:
(e.g., blue/white & white/blue, orange/white & white/orange, etc.)
• Do not use flat or silver satin wire.
