Chapter 1: Overview
Features
The AT-MCF2000M unit is a management module for the
media converter modules and chassis in the AT-MCF2000
Media Converter Series. With its preinstalled AT-S97
Management Software, this management device provides
complete control over the operating parameters of the ports
and channels on the AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series.
Management is supported both locally (out-of band) through
the RS-232 Terminal port on the module and remotely over
a network (in-band) through the 10/100/1000Base-T
Ethernet port. Also featured is a stacking port for managing
multiple media converter devices as a single unit.
Note
The AT-MCF2000M Management Module is optional
equipment for the AT-MCF2000 Media Converter
Series. The AT-MCF2000 media converter modules
can operate as unmanaged devices.

The components of the panel are mentioned here:
Stack port - Multiple media converter devices can be
managed as a single unit through this port. For further
information, refer to “Stack Port” on page 24.
10/100/1000Base-T Management Port - This standard
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet port adds
support for management functions that require access
to a network, such as remote (in-band) management
from a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) client and
downloading or uploading files to a TFTP server. For
further information, refer to “10/100/1000Base-T
Management Port” on page 21.
RS-232 Terminal port - Local (out-of-band) management
of the chassis or stack is performed through this port
with a console or a PC with a terminal emulation
program. For further information, refer to “RS-232
Terminal Port” on page 23.
Reset button - This button performs a soft reset of the
module by initializing the AT-S97 Management
Software. For further information, refer to “Reset Button”
on page 29.
SD slot - This slot can accommodate a secure digital
memory card for storing configuration files or
transferring files between management modules. For
further information, refer to “SD Slot” on page 31.

AT-MCF2000M Management Module Installation Guide
10/100/1000Base-T Management Port
The 10/100/1000Base-T Management port is a standard
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet port. The
module communicates with your network through this port
when it performs any of the management functions that
require a network connection. (Although the management
module can configure the operating parameters of the
media converter modules in a chassis, it cannot transmit or
receive management packets through the ports in the
media converter channels.)
This port must be connected to a device on your network,
such as a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet switch, if the
module will be performing any of the following management
functions:
Remote management using the Telnet or Secure Shell
(SSH) application protocol
Upload or download files to its file system using a TFTP
server.
Set its date and time from a Network Time Protocol
(NTP) server.
Send events to a syslog server.
Obtain an IP configuration from a DHCP or BOOTP
server.
Send or receive TCP/IP ping requests from network
devices.
Send Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
traps to an SNMP management program.
The port can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps in either
half- or full-duplex mode. The port has a standard RJ-45
8-pin connector and uses TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant
Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps operation and TIA/
EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) cable
for 100 or 1000 Mbps operation. The port has a maximum
operating distance of 100 meters. For port pinouts, refer to
“10/100/1000Base-T Management Port Pinouts” on
page 68.
