AT-PB300 Series

Fast Ethernet Media Converters

Quick Install Guide

For use in the PowerBlade Chassis

Overview

The AT-PB300 Series Media Converters are hot swappable modules for the PowerBlade Chassis. The AT-PB300 Series Media Converters are designed to extend the distance of your network by allowing you to interconnect twisted pair cabling and fiber optic cabling. Each unit features an 100Base-TX twisted pair port and an 100Base-FX fiber optic port. The twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The fiber optic port has an VF-45, MT-RJ, LC, or FJ connector, depending on the model, and a maximum operating range of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles). The AT-PB300 Series Media Converters operate at 100 Mbps and feature half- and full-duplex operation.

Installing a Media Converter

1. Remove a blank faceplate from an empty expansion slot on the front of the chassis. The module can be installed in any slot.

2. Remove the module from the shipping package and store the packaging material in a safe place. Be sure to observe standard ESD precautions.

3. Set the Auto-negotiation switch on the board to enable or disable autonegotiation of the duplex mode on the module. Refer to the PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for the location of the Auto-negotiation switch.

4. Slide the module into the expansion slot, aligning it with the guiderails until it firmly connects to the chassis’ backplane.

5. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the thumbscrew.

6. Verify that the PR LED on the front of the module is green. If the LED is OFF, refer to the PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for troubleshooting instructions.

7. Set the ML/LT button to the Link Test (OUT) position. This enables the link test feature.

8. Remove the dust cover from the fiber optic port and connect the fiber optic cable to the 100Base-FX port.

9. Connect the twisted pair cable to the 100Base-TX twisted pair port.

10. Set the MDI/MDI-X button to the appropriate setting.

11. The module is now ready for use. Repeat this procedure to install additional AT-PB300 Series modules.

Refer to the PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for additional information.
