Overview

The AT-MCM02 is an optional management module for the AT-MCF06, AT-MCF12, AT-MCF106, and AT-MCF112 Series Multichannel Media Converters. When installed, the AT-MCM02 module allows you to monitor the operating status of the media converter from a management station on your network using either the Telnet application protocol or an SNMP management program. The module also allows you to monitor a media converter by directly connecting a terminal or PC to a management port on the media converter. The AT-MCM02 module allows you to do the following:
Check the link status of the fiber optic and twisted pair ports on the
media converter.
Override the Link Test switch on the media converter and either start
or stop a link test.
Reset the media converter channels.
Download a new version of the media converter’s operating software.
Note
For instructions on how to install the media converter, refer to the installation guide provided with the media converter.

AT-MCM02 Management Module Installation Guide

Installing the Management Module

To install the management module in your multichannel media converter, perform the following procedure:
Warning
Installing the AT-MCM02 Management Module while the media converter is powered ON could result in damage to the module.
1. Power OFF the media converter by performing one of the following:
For an AC model, unplug the power cord from the power outlet and
then unplug the power cord from the media converter.
For a DC model, follow the steps below:
Warning
When installing this equipment, alway ensure that the frame ground connection is installed first and disconnected last. $ 15
a. Remove the positive and negative feed wires from the terminal block
by loosening the screws to the wire connections with a flathead screwdriver.
b. Remove the frame ground wire from the terminal block by loosening
the screw to the wire connection with a flathead screwdriver.
2. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the blank faceplate from the
management module expansion slot, located on the back panel of the
media converter. See Figure 1.

Caution
Wear a grounding device and observe all electrostatic discharge precautions when installing the AT-MCM02 Management Module in the media converter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the unit.
4. Align the AT-MCM02 Management Module with the card guides on the
bottom on the media converter and gently slide the module into place.
Refer to Figure 2.
When the module is about 5 millimeters (0.20 inches) from the media
converter’s backplane, you will feel a slight resistance. At that point, make
sure that the edges of the AT-MCM02 Management Module are parallel to
the corresponding edges of the media converter. Continue to slide the
management module, applying slight pressure, to seat the management
module’s connectors into the media converter’s backplane.
