Overview
The AT-CV81S, see below, is a multi-protocol media converter that transports
Asynchronous Serial Data (with Hardware Flow control, CTS/RTS) from a
copper port, over a 100Base-FX fiber. It can be configured to support RS-232
or RS-422/485 serial data in Full duplex or Half duplex mode (available in
future release).
The AT-CV81S line card can be installed in either the AT-CV5000,
AT-CV1200, or AT-CV1000 chassis. This line card features one small formfactor pluggable (SFP) transceiver slot, one console port (8-pin Mini-DIN) and
one serial port (9-pin Mini-DIN). The SFP slot can accommodate one SFP
transceiver that operates at a fixed operating speed of 100 megabits per
second (Mbps). The line card is hot-swappable into and out of the chassis.

Installing an AT-CV81S Line Card
“X” means the DIP switch position could be either ON or OFF.
To install an AT-CV81S line card, perform the following procedure:
Caution
Before installing an AT-CV81S line card, refer to the appropriate
Converteon™ Series Chassis Installation Guide and/or the
Converteon™ Media Converter Line Cards Reference Guide the for
electrical safety and emission information.
Caution
Be sure to observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD)
precautions, such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid
damaging the device. A line card can be damaged by static electricity.
1. Remove the Converteon™ line card from its shipping package and store
the package in a safe place.
2. You must use the original package if you need to return the unit to Allied
Telesis.
3. Select an empty line card slot in the Converteon™ chassis for the card.
4. Remove the AT-CV5PNL1 blank slot cover from the selected slot.
Keep the blank slot cover in a safe area in case you remove the line card.
The blank slot covers are used to keep dust from getting into the chassis
and maintain proper airflow, cooling, and ventilation throughout the chassis.
5. Locate the alignment guides in the chassis slot.
6. Align the back edge of the line card with the alignment guides located
inside the slot. Avoid touching the line card components.
–- For the AT-CV5000, align with the top and bottom alignment guides.
–- For the AT-CV1000 and AT-CV1200, align with the left and right
alignment guides.
7. Slide the line card until the front of the card is flushed with the front of the
chassis.
