In Transparent Link Mode, both media converters communicate via a specific protocol. With
this protocol, the media converters initially exchange the link information present at the
electrical RJ45 ports between one another. The transmission leads to a certain delay in the
behavior for establishing the link at the electrical ports. This can cause a timeout at the
Ethernet interface for devices that are electrically connected and the link is not established.
This behavior cannot be influenced and occurs particularly when plants are switched on.
Use the new SCALANCE XCM102 media converters with corresponding SFPs for such
applications.
Note the following restrictions:
• A maximum of two media converters can be connected in series.
• Mixed cascading of SCALANCE X-100 media converters and OMC media converters is not
possible.
• Mixed operation of SCALANCE X101-1/X101-1LD with SCALANCE XCM102 is not possible.
• Cascading is only permitted via the connection of the FO ports.
• Cascading must be set on both media converters using the SET button (transparent link LED
lights up). Otherwise, there may be functional disruptions.
• The setting remains after cycling power.
• When shipped, the standalone mode is enabled; in other words no cascading.
What is possible?
The media converters of the SCALANCE X-100 allow the cost-effective installation of Industrial
Ethernet linear (bus) and star structures with transitions from one media to another.
The passive use of two identical SCALANCE X-100 media converters in series (cascaded)
within a redundant ring is possible. In this case, the media converters behave "like a section
of cable". A simple, passive coupling of two rings is also possible. See also "Coupling of
network segments (Page 13)".
Note
If devices are supplied over long 24 V power supply lines or networks, measures are necessary
to prevent interference by strong electromagnetic pulses on the supply lines. These can result,
for example, due to lightning or switching of large inductive loads.
One of the tests used to attest the immunity of these devices to electromagnetic interference is
the "surge immunity test" according to EN 61000-4-5. This test requires overvoltage protection
for the power supply lines. A suitable device is, for example, the Dehn Blitzductor BVT AVD 24 V
type no. 918 422 or a comparable protective element.

transfer and can adapt their settings to each other. The mode with the highest possible speed
is set.
Note
Devices not supporting autonegotiation must be set permanently to 100 Mbps half duplex or
10 Mbps half duplex.
NOTICE
Failure of the data traffic due to contamination of optical plug-in connections
Optical sockets and plugs are sensitive to contamination of the end face. Contamination can
lead to the failure of the optical transmission network. Take the following precautions to avoid
functional impairments:

the following safety instructions in addition to the general safety instructions for protection
against explosion:
WARNING
Transient overvoltages
Take measures to prevent transient overvoltages of more than 40% of the rated voltage (or
more than 119 V). This is the case if you only operate devices with SELV (safety extra-low
voltage).
Note
Wire end ferrules
Use crimp shapes with smooth surfaces, such as provided by square and trapeze shaped crimp
cross sections.
Crimp shapes with wave-shaped profile are unsuitable.

WARNING
Incorrect power supply
The power supply unit to supply the device must comply with NEC Class 2 (voltage range 18 -
32 V, current requirement 350 mA).
Do not operate the device with an AC voltage.
Never operate the device with DC voltages higher than 32 VDC.
NOTICE
Damage due to voltage being too high
The signaling contact can be subjected to a maximum load of 100 mA (safety extra‑low voltage
SELV, 24 VDC).
Higher voltages or currents can damage the device!
The following figure shows the position of the signaling contacts of the SCALANCE X-100
media converters and the assignment of the terminal block.

6.5 Grounding
S7 standard rail
The device is grounded over its rear panel and the neck of the screw.
Wall mounting
The device is grounded by the securing screw in the unpainted hole.
Note that the device must be grounded over a securing screw with as low a low resistance as
possible.
If the device is mounted on a non-conductive base, a grounding cable must be fitted. The
grounding cable is not supplied with the device. Connect the paint-free surface of the device
to the nearest grounding point using the grounding cable.
With its tight fit and locking mechanism with the PROFINET-compliant male connector
IE FC RJ45 Plug 180, the securing collar on the TP port of the device ensures a rugged
node attachment that provides strain and bending relief for the RJ-45 jack.
WARNING
Impermissible accessories and spare parts
Risk of explosion in hazardous areas
• Only use original accessories (Page 18) and original spare parts.
• Observe all relevant installation and safety instructions described in the manuals for the
device or supplied with the accessories or spare parts.
CAUTION
Hot surfaces
Risk of burns during maintenance work on parts with a surface temperature above 70 °C
(158 °F).
• Take appropriate protective measures, for example, wear protective gloves.
• Once maintenance work is complete, restore the touch protection measures.
NOTICE
Cleaning the housing
If the device is not in a hazardous area, only clean the outer parts of the housing with a dry cloth.
If the device is in a hazardous area, use a slightly damp cloth for cleaning.
Do not use solvents.
Fuses
The media converters of the SCALANCE°X-100 product line have a resettable fuse / PTC. If the
fuse triggers (all LEDs are off despite correctly applied power supply), the device should be
disconnected from the power supply for approximately 30 minutes before turning it on again.
Device defective
If any other fault develops, please send the device to your SIEMENS service center for repair.
Repairs on-site are not possible.
