Preface
This is the installation guide for the AT-MCF2000 Series of multi-channel,
Fast and Gigabit Ethernet media converter products. In this guide you’ll
learn about the features of the product and how to install the components.
This preface contains the following sections:
“How this Guide is Organized” on page 14
“Where to Find Web-based Guides” on page 16
“Contacting Allied Telesis” on page 17

Preface
How this Guide is Organized
The chapters in this guide are divided into two sections. The chapters in
the first section describe the features and components of the product. If
you are installing your first system, you will find the installation easier to do
and will be less likely to assemble or cable the product incorrectly if you
first familiarize yourself with the basics of the product by reviewing the
material in these chapters.
The chapters in the second section contain the installation instructions. If
you are installing a new system, Allied Telesis recommends that you
perform the chapters as they are presented in the section, skipping any
chapters that are not relevant to your installation. To upgrade or expand
an existing system, go straight to the appropriate chapters.
Here are the sections, chapters, and appendices in this guide:

AT-MCF2000 Multi-channel Media Converter Series
The multi-channel media converters in the AT-MCF2000 Series are a
simple and reliable method for consolidating large numbers of
geographically separated Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet networks into
a central location over fiber optic cable.
The main components of the product are three high-density, 12-channel
media converter modules. Each channel on the modules functions as an
independent media converter for transferring local and remote network
traffic between a twisted pair port and a fiber optic port.
This product can be installed on a table or in a standard 19-inch equipment
rack and can be used in a managed or unmanaged network environment.

Hardware Components
Table 1 lists the hardware components that comprise the AT-MCF2000
Media Converter Series.
Table 1. Hardware Components
Component Description
AT-MCF2012LC This is a Fast Ethernet media converter module. It
1390
has twelve independent channels that transfer
network traffic between twisted pair cables and fiber
optic cables. Each channel has one 10/100Base-TX
twisted pair port and one 10/100Base-FX fiber optic
port. The fiber optic ports have a maximum
operating distance of 2 km (1.24 mi.) in full-duplex
mode, feature duplex LC connectors, and use 50/
125 µm or 62.5/125 µm (core/cladding) multimode
fiber optic cable.
AT-MCF2012LC/1 This is also a Fast Ethernet media converter
module. It has twelve independent channels that
feature 10/100Base-TX twisted pair ports and
100Base-FX fiber optic ports. The fiber optic ports
on this module have a greater operating distance, up
to 20 kilometers (12.4 mi.) in full-duplex mode, than
the ports on the AT-MCF2012LC Module and use
1390
9/125 µm single-mode fiber optic cable.
AT-MCF2032SP This is a Fast and Gigabit media converter module.
Each of the twelve channels on this module has a
10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair port and an SFP
slot that supports either a 100Base or a 1000Base
fiber optic SFP module. The SFP slots let you
customize the channels for different operating
distances. For the list of supported SFP modules,
1389
contact your Allied Telesis sales representative.
AT-MCF2000 This 1U chassis has slots for two 12-channel media
converter modules, primary and redundant power
supplies, and the optional management or stacking
module.
