PCI Media Converter
• Ethernet
• Copper to Fiber
• 10Base-T to 10Base-FL
Transition Networks E-TBT-FRL-N-02 series
media converters are 10Base-T/10Base-FL
devices that connect 10Base-T copper to 10Base-
FL fiber. The E-TBT-FRL-N-02 is PCI
(Peripheral Component Interconnect) powered;
designed to install directly in a PC workstation or
file server, and insert into any slot on a standard
PCI. No additional power supply is needed since
each PCI slot has power.

Installation
Set the LinkAlert™ switch
The LinkAlert switch is located on the edge of the printed
circuit board and can be easily switched to ENABLE or
DISABLE without the use of tools.
The LinkAlert feature allows the media converter to monitor the fiber and copper
RX (receive) ports for signal losses. In the event of a loss of an RX signal, the
media converter will automatically disable the TX (transmit) signal, thus “passing
through” the link loss. The far-end device is automatically notified of the link loss,
which prevents the loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over an invalid
link.
Note: If all network devices attached to the media converter(s) are capable of auto-
negotiation, enable the LinkAlert feature on the media converter(s).
Otherwise, disable the LinkAlert feature.
Install the slide-in-module
To install the E-TBT-FRL-N-02 media converter slide-in-module:
1. Locate an empty slot on the PC workstation or file server.
2. Remove the screws holding the cover to the slot. Retain the screws.
3. Carefully slide the slide-in-module into the slot, aligning the module with the
installation guides.
4. Ensure that the module is firmly seated in the slot.
5. Using the screws from step 2, secure the module to the workstation or file
server housing .

Installation -- Continued
Install the copper cable
1. Use the enclosed 10Base-T compliant copper cable
with male, RJ-45 connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to
the RJ-45 port on the E-TBT-FRL-N-02 media
converter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the
cable to the RJ-45 port on the other device (network
interface card (NIC), terminal device, transceiver,
switch, workstation, etc.).
Install the copper cable
1. Locate or build 10Base-FL compliant fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX
to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the E-TBT-FRL-N-02 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 other device (another media converter, hub,
etc.) as described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.
Power the media converter
The E-TBT-FRL-N-02 media converter is powered by the PCI (Peripheral
Component Interconnect) edge connector on the circuit board.

Operation
LED indicators
After installation, the media converter should function without operator
intervention. Use the status LEDs to monitor the media converter operation in the
network.
PLink (Fiber) ON = A 10Base-FL link and normal operation.
OFF = A lack of power or a downed 10Base-FL link.
Link (TBT) ON = A 10Base-T link and normal operation.
OFF = A lack of power or a downed 10Base-T link
AutoCross™
The AutoCross feature detects and configures the twisted-pair copper port on the
media converter to the correct straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X)
configuration. This feature allows either MDI or MDI-X cable to connect the media
converter to devices such as hubs, transceivers, or network interface cards (NICs).
