Powering the media converter  
The AutoCross feature allows either MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover)  
cable connections to be configured automatically, according to network conditions.  
The M/GE-PSW-xX-01 media converter is powered by using a DC power adapter  
through the barrel connector on its rear panel, as shown below.  
1. Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 10/100/1000Base-T cables with RJ-  
45 connectors installed at both ends.  
Back Panel  
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the  
M/GE-PSW-xX-01 media converter.  
Barrel Connector  
5-28 VDC  
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.).

1. Connect the barrel connector of the power adapter to the media converter’s  
power port (located on the back panel of the media converter).  
2. Connect the power adapter plug to AC power.  
3. Verify that the media converter is powered up by observing the illuminated  
LED power indicator light on the front panel.  
Note: With AutoCross permanently enabled, the link LED only lights when a valid  
end-to-end connection is made.  
DC power  
Consult the user’s guide for the Transition Networks SPS-1872-SA DC external  
power supply for powering the media converter.

Operation—Continued  
Product features  
Use the LEDs to monitor the status of the media converter.  
Congestion reduction  
The M/GE-PSW-xX-01 media converters do not forward collision signals or error  
packets from one collision domain to another, which results in improvements in  
baseline network performance. In addition, the media converter filters packets  
destined for local devices, which reduces network congestion.

TP-Link/Act LED

Auto-Negotiation  
The Auto-Negotiation feature is ON permanently for the M/GE-PSW-xX-01 media  
converters. Auto-Negotiation allows the media converter to configure itself  
automatically to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link. It  
broadcasts speed (10 /100/1000 Mb/s) and duplex capabilities (full or half) to the  
other device and negotiates the best mode of operation. Auto-Negotiation allows  
quick and easy installation because the optimal link is established automatically.  
In a scenario where an auto-negotiation device is linked to a non-negotiating device,  
the negotiating device via parallel detection recognizes the speed of the second  
device then establishes the best operating speed (10/100/100Mbs) at half-duplex.  
Power ON LED  
LED states are as follows:  
Fiber-Link/Act LED

AutoCross™  
Flashing = Activity  
The AutoCross feature allows using either straight-through (MDI) or crossover  
(MDI-X) copper cables when connecting to 10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices.  
AutoCross determines the characteristics of the connection and automatically  
configures the device to link up, regardless of the copper cable configuration, MDI  
or MDI-X.

Link Pass-Through

= Connected to power  
The Link Pass-Through feature (illustrated below) allows the media converter to  
monitor both the fiber and copper RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. In the event  
of an RX signal loss (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.

Automatic link restoration  
Distance extension  
The media converter will automatically re-establish the link when connected to a  
switch if the link is lost, even with Auto-Negotiation and Link Pass-through (both  
directions) enabled.  
The M/GE-PSW-xX-01 media converters can segment one (1) 10Base-T copper  
Ethernet, 100Base-T copper fast Ethernet, or 1000Base-T copper Gigabit Ethernet,  
and one (1)1000 Base-X fiber Fast Ethernet collision domain:  
In a half-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the M/GE-PSW-xX-01  
media converters extend network distances by segmenting collision domains so that  
the 512-Bit Rule applies separately to each collision domain.  
In a full-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the M/GE-PSW-xX-01  
media converters extend network distances to the physical cable limitations  
imposed by the selected twisted-pair copper fiber cables.  
Full-duplex flow control  
In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type of  
cables used—see front cover and cable specifications section.  
The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex network.  
Note: Full duplex is ON permanently for the fiber port only.  
Rate conversion  
The M/GE-PSW-xX-01 media converters allow the following connections:  
Half-duplex flow control (512-Bit Rule)  
In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the round-  
trip delay limitations of each Fast Ethernet collision domain. (A collision domain is  
the longest path between any two terminal devices; e.g., a terminal, switch, or  
router.)  
The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by calculating  
the round-trip delay in bit-times (BT) of a particular collision domain. If the result  
is less than or equal to 512 BT, the path is good.  
10Mb/s devices on a 10Base-T legacy copper network to 1000Mb/s devices on  
a 1000Base SX/LX Gigabit Ethernet fiber network.  
100Mb/s devices on a 100Base-T legacy copper network to 1000Mb/s devices  
on a 1000Base SX/LX Gigabit Ethernet fiber network.  
For more information on the 512-Bit Rule, see the white paper titled “Collision  
Domains” on the Transition Networks website at: www.transition.com  
Back pressure  
Back pressure is used in half duplex mode. It ensures the retransmission of  
incoming packets when a port using half-duplex is temporarily unable to receive  
incoming frames.  
Flow control  
The process of adjusting the flow of data from one device to another ensures that  
the receiving device can handle all the incoming data. This is particularly important  
where the sending device is capable of transmitting data much faster than the  
receiving device can accept it.
