Transition Networks FAST ETHERNET E-TX-MC01 User Manual
Fast ethernet™ copper transceiver, User’s guide, E-tx-mc01
TRANSITION Networks copper transceivers (E-TX-MC01) connect Fast Ethernet™ hubs
and/or terminal devices, through a Media Independent Interface (MII) connector, to
10BASE-T copper cable or to 100BASE-TX copper cable.
E-TX-MC01
Provides an MII
connector and an RJ-
45 10BASE-
T/100BASE-TX
connector to
unshielded twisted-
pair or shielded
twisted-pair copper
cable.
A set of switches on the front of the transceiver can be used to set a unique physical
address for each transceiver. Transceivers can be configured to
autonegotiate or to force either 10Mb/sec half-duplex mode or
100Mb/sec half-duplex mode.
An MDI/MDI-X switch on the side of the transceiver can be
used to set the copper cable configuration to straight-through or
to crossover.
