Media Converter Installation Guide

Overview

The AT-CM3K0S Media Converter is a member of the Converteon family of media converter products. It is a simple and reliable way to connect Fast or Gigabit Ethernet networks across small or large geographical distances with fiber optic cable. The product features a 10/100/1000Base-T port for a local connection and a slot for a 100Base-FX or 1000Base-X SFP module for a remote connection using multimode or single-mode fiber optic cable. The features of the media converter are listed here.

Cable Specifications

The cable specifications for the 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair port are listed here.

Speed Cable Type

10 Mbps Standard TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Category 3 or

better shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and a frequency of 16 MHz.

100 Mbps Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant Category 5 or

TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and a frequency of 100 MHz.

1000 Mbps Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant Category 5 or

TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and a frequency of 100 MHz.

Maximum Operating

Distance

100 m (328 ft)

Note

The media converter supports hot swapping and can be installed while the chassis is powered on.

To install the media converter:

1. Remove the slot cover from one of the slots in the Converteon chassis by loosening the captive screw with a Phillips head screwdriver. The unit can be installed in any of the media converter slots.

For the fiber optic cable specifications, refer to the SFP module instructions.

Setting the Operating Mode

There are DIP switches on the line card for setting the card’s operating mode. You can also set the operating mode with the optional AT-CV5M02 Management Card. To use the DIP switches, refer to the figure and table. For background information on the operating modes, refer to the Converteon AT-S73, AT-S99, and AT-S102 Management Software User’s Guide.

Note

Retain the slot cover and reinstall it if you ever remove the line card. An open slot allows dust to enter the unit and reduces proper airflow in the chassis.

2. Align the edges of the line card with the guides in the slot and carefully slide the card

into the chassis until it is flush with the front of the chassis. Light pressure may be needed to seat the module on the connector on the backplane in the chassis.

3. Secure the line card in the chassis by tightening the captive-screw with a Phillips head screwdriver.

4. Remove the dust cover from the SFP slot.

5. Slide the SFP module into the slot until it clicks into place.

6. Remove the dust cover from the fiber optic port on the SFP module.

7. Connect the fiber optic cable to the port on the SFP module.

8. Connect a twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 twisted pair port on the line card.

ECO Friendly Button

The recessed ECO Friendly button on the front panel of the line card is used to toggle the low power mode, which controls the LEDs. You can use the button to turn off the LEDs to conserve power when you are not monitoring them. To toggle the LEDs on or off, press the recessed button with a pointed object, such as the end of a straightened paperclip. You can also toggle the low power mode with the AT-CV5M02 Management Card. The low power mode does not affect the network operations of the line card or control the RDY LED.
