SMI-100: Fast Ethernet Converters 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Fiber Mode Conversion

Blinking green during startup cycle Steady green: module has power and is ready

Red : error

Green - 1000 Mbps link

Yellow - 100 Mbps link

Off - 10 Mbps or no Link

RJ45 connector, 2 pair CAT 5, EIA/TIA 568A/B or better cable

Magnetic Isolation - 1.5kv

Multimode: 62.5 / 125, 50/125, 85/125, 100/140 micron

Single Mode: 9/125 micron (ITU-T 625)

10/100/1000Base-T - RJ45

Auto- MDI/MDIX

Enabled (Default) - The media converter uses 802.3u Auto-negotiation on the 100Base-TX interface. It is set to advertise full duplex.

Disabled - The media converter sets the 100Base-TX port to full duplex.

Pause should be enabled when all devices connected to the media converter support pause. Auto-Negotiation must be Enabled to use this feature.

Enabled (Default) - The Media converter will advertise Pause capability during Auto-Negotiation on the 100Base-TX interface.

Disabled - The Media converter will advertise that it does not have Pause capability during Auto-Negotiation on the 100Base-TX interface.

Enabled (Default) - When the state of the receiver is changed on the 100Base-TX interface it is reflected on the 100Base-FX fiber transmitter. When the state of the receiver on the 100Base-FX interface is changed it is reflected on the 100Base-TX transmitter.

When a Far-End Fault Indication is received on the fiber interface the 100Base-TX transmitter is turned off. When the Far-End Fault Indication is cleared the transmitter is turned back on.

Disabled - The 100Base-TX and the 100Base-FX fiber interface operate independently. Far-End Fault indication on the 100Base-FX fiber interface has no effect on the 100Base-TX interface.

Enabled (Default) - The media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the 100Base-FX fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-FX fiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the100Base-X fiber connection and clears the Far-End Fault Indication condition when a valid signal is received.

Disabled - Far-End Fault Indications are not transmitted regardless of the condition of the receive signal on the 100Base-FX fiber connection.

The media converter can perform a loopback on the 100Base-X fiber interface.

Disabled (Default - Up)

Enabled - The 100Base-X receiver is looped to the 100Base-X transmitter. The 100Base-TX transmitter is taken off the interface.

If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is enabled, the media converter uses the HP Auto-MDIX method for the 100Base-TX interface. If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is disabled the Media converter will use the RX Energy method on the 100Base-TX interface to set the port MDI or MDIX whichever is appropriate.

Enabled (Default) - Either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable.

Disabled - If the partner device on the other end of the cable does not have the Auto-MDIX feature a specific cable, either a straight-through or crossover will be required to ensure that the media convertor's transmitter and the partner devices transmitter are connected to the others receiver. The Media Convertor's 100Base-TX port is configured as MDI with this switch setting.
