Managed
AT-CV5000
Unmanaged AT-CV5000
Figure 1. AT-CV5000 Media Converter
When you connect workgroup hubs and other switches to the chassis, the
AT-CV5000 media converter functions as the focal point of your network.
Or you can connect workstations, servers, printers, and routers directly to
the chassis so that each device has sole use of a dedicated link to the
network.
A managed AT-CV5000 media converter includes at least one
AT-CV5M01 Management Card which contains a CPU. The management
card is shipped with the AT-S70 management software preinstalled which
allows you to manage the chassis and line cards, even remotely. The
management card fits into any of the 18 line card slots on the front of the
AT-CV5000 chassis. When more than one management card is installed,
one acts as a master card and the others operate as redundant fail-over
cards.
An unmanaged AT-CV5000 media converter has no management card
and thus does not provide you with the capability to manage the chassis
and line cards through the AT-S70 management software. In order to
configure the operational mode of the line cards, you must set the line
card’s DIP switches.
18
An unmanaged AT-CV5000 chassis does offers centralized power and air
flow to the line cards. The LED interface card provides information about
the power supplies and fans and a chassis reset button. The chassis will
provide an unmanaged automated sequence power up to permit gradual
loading of the power supplies from cold boot.
System Description
AT-CV5000 Media Converter Chassis Installation Guide
Hardware
Features
The standard AT-CV5000 Media Converter chassis has the following
features:
18 line card/expansion slots with preinstalled AT-CV5PNLx blank slot
covers
One preinstalled LED interface card which contains:
– One RS-232 port to access any module installed in the
rear expansion slot
– One reset button
– Seven status LEDs
One rear expansion slot
Two preinstalled AT-CVFAN fan modules
Two slots in the back for power supplies. The chassis is shipped
without any power supplies installed and must contain at least one
power supply to be operational. For more information about the power
supplies, refer to “Power Supplies” on page 31.
One ON/OFF switch for each power supply slot
Software
Features
In order to manage the chassis using the AT-S70 management software,
you must install at least one AT-CV5M01 Management Card. Otherwise,
you must manually set the DIP switches on each line card to the settings
appropriate for your network.
For information about the management software, refer to the AT-S70
Management Software User’s Guide.

AT-CV5M01 Management Card
The AT-CV5M01 Management Card provides a CPU subsystem for the
AT-CV5000 chassis as well as the AT-S70 management software
preinstalled that allows you to configure and monitor the status of the
converter line cards. For more information about the AT-S70 management
software, refer to the AT-S70 Management Software User’s Guide.
The AT-CV5000 chassis is shipped without an AT-CV5M01 Management
Card and therefore is by default an unmanaged chassis.
Note
The AT-CV5M01 Management Card is hot-swappable and you can
insert it in any line card slot without powering OFF the chassis.
The AT-CV5M01 Management Card, as shown in Figure 6, features the
following components:
One RS-232 terminal port with a DB-9 connector for a local
management session
One 10/100Base-TX twisted pair port with an RJ-45 connector for a
remote management session
One recessed CPU RESET button
Six CPU status LEDs

Note
This terminal port does not allow you to connect to any module
present in the expansion slot located in the rear of the chassis. To
connect to a module in the rear expansion slot, you must use the
RS-232 terminal port on the LED interface card, as described in
“LED Interface Card” on page 21.
10/100Base-TX
Twisted Pair Port
The 10/100Base-TX twisted pair port on the management card allows you
to establish a remote management session and has a maximum operating
distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The port has an 8-pin RJ-45 connector.
For the port pinouts, refer to “RJ-45 Twisted Pair Port Pinouts” on
page 103.
The twisted pair port is 10/100Base-TX IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation
compliant and is capable of both 10 megabits per second (Mbps) and 100
Mbps speeds. You can set the port speed manually through the AT-S70
management software or allow the port to set it automatically. With AutoNegotiation, the management card automatically matches the highest
possible common speed between the port and the Ethernet hub or switch.
For example, if the Ethernet hub or switch is capable of only 10 Mbps, the
management card sets the port connected to the end node to 10 Mbps.
Note
Auto-Negotiation is the default setting on the twisted pair port on the
management card. To deactivate Auto-Negotiation and set the
speed manually, refer to the AT-S70 Management Software User’s
Guide.
The twisted pair port on the management card can operate in either halfor full-duplex mode. The twisted pair port is IEEE 802.3u-compliant and
will Auto-Negotiate the duplex mode setting. You can disable AutoNegotiation and set the duplex mode manually using the AT-S70
management software.
Note
In order for the twisted pair port on the management card to
successfully Auto-Negotiate its duplex mode with an end node, the
end node should also be using Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise, a
duplex mode mismatch can occur. Therefore, when you connect an
25
Chapter 1: Overview
end node with a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex to a management
card port, you should use the AT-S70 management software to
disable Auto-Negotiation on the port and set the port speed and
duplex mode manually.
For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3 or better, 100 Ohm shielded or
unshielded, twisted pair cabling is required. For 100 Mbps operation,
Category 5 or Enhanced Category 5 (5E), 100 Ohm shielded or
unshielded, twisted pair cabling is required.

Converteon™ Line Cards
Note
For a current list of line cards for the Converteon™ Series Chassis,
refer to the Allied Telesis web site or consult your authorized sales
representative. For detailed descriptions of these line cards, refer to
the documentation shipped with the line cards and/or the
Converteon™ Media Converter Line Cards Reference Guide.
On some Converteon™ line cards, you can enable or disable the following
features by configuring their DIP switches:
Link Test
MissingLink™ Mode
Smart MissingLink Mode
OAM Capabilities
Link Test The link test is a fast and easy way for you to test the connections
between the converter ports and the end nodes that are connected to the
ports. If a network problem occurs, you can perform a link test to
determine which port is experiencing a problem, and therefore focus your
troubleshooting efforts on the cable and end node where the problem
resides.
The LK LED for the twisted pair port should be green, indicating that it was
able to establish a link with its end nodes. If the LK LED is off, the port
could not establish a link. Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 95 for
suggestions on how to remedy the problem.
For more information on how the LK LED functions, refer to Appendix A in
the Converteon™ Media Converter Line Cards Reference Guide.
Performing a link test does not interfere with a converter’s ability to pass
network traffic.
MissingLink™ The MissingLink™ feature enables the ports on the media converter to
pass the link status of their connections to each other. When the media
converter detects a problem on one of the ports, such as the loss of
connection to an end node, the media converter shuts down the
connection to the other port, thus notifying the end node that the
connection has been lost.
28
For example, if the twisted pair cable to the 10/100Base-TX port on the
media converter fails, the line card drops the link on the 100Base-FX fiber
optic port. In this way, the media converter notifies the end node
connected to the fiber optic port that the connection on the twisted pair
AT-CV5000 Media Converter Chassis Installation Guide
port has been lost. If the failure occurs on the fiber optic cabling, the line
card drops the link to the twisted pair port.
Some devices can be configured to take a specific action in the event of
the loss of connection on a port, to seek a redundant path to a
disconnected end node, or to send out a trap to a network management
station, and so alert the network administrator of the problem.
Smart
MissingLink
OAM The Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) is a group of
The Smart MissingLink feature performs exactly the same function as
MissingLink™ with one additional feature. When a link is lost on a port, the
LK LED of the port that still has a valid connection to its end node starts to
blink. This allows you to quickly determine which port still has a valid
connection (LK LED blinking) and which port has lost its connection (LK
LED is off).
For example, if the network twisted pair cable to the 10/100Base-TX port
on the media converter fails, the LK LED on the 100Base-FX fiber optic
port blinks, indicating a failed connection on the twisted pair port. If the
failure starts with the fiber optic cabling, the LK LED on the twisted pair
port blinks.
This allows you to quickly see which port has failed and troubleshoot your
network accordingly.
functions that provides tools and utilities used to manage a network. The
OAM feature is 802.3ah-compliant and is used to provide network
indication, system configuration, performance monitoring, security
management, diagnostic functions and configuration. OAM is described in
detail in the AT-S70 Management Software User’s Guide.

Blank Slot Covers
The AT-CV5PNLx Series blank slot covers are designed to maintain
optimal, trouble-free environmental conditions for the modules used in the
Converteon™ AT-CV5000 chassis. Every unoccupied slot on the chassis
must be covered with a blank slot cover to prevent dust from entering the
chassis and to maintain proper airflow, cooling, and ventilation throughout
the chassis.
There are three AT-CV5PNLx Series blank slot covers:
AT-CV5PNL1 – For line cards and AT-CV5M01 Management Card
AT-CV5PNL2 – For power supply modules
AT-CV5PNL3 – For the rear expansion slot
