Overview

AT-MC601, AT-MC602 Installation and User’s Guide

These devices can be used in multi-dwelling units (MDU), multi-tenant
buildings (MTU), and in the hospitality industry, such as airports, hotels,
and convention centers.

These units are sold in pairs with the AT-MC601 functioning as the
subscriber and the AT-MC602 functioning as the provider. In an MDU,
such as a university dormitory, the subscriber unit would be installed in
each room and connected to a provider unit through the telephone outlet.
Each AT-MC602 or provider unit would be located in the building wiring
closet.

The AT-MC601 Extended Ethernet unit can be used as a desktop or
wallmount device while the AT-MC602 can be either installed in an
AT-MCR12 chassis, used as a desktop device, or mounted onto the wall,
provided that the chassis is connected to an appropriate ground rod. Refer
to ”Installing the AT-MC602 Provider Unit” on page 28" for installation
details. These units are easy to install. They can be configured and
managed through the MGMT port using the software provided on the
installation CD.

When both the AT-MC601 Subscriber and the AT-MC602 Provider have
been installed, the network extender system topology shown in Figure 1 is
complete.

10/100 Mbps

Twisted Pair

Ethernet Port

The AT-MC601 and AT-MC602 network extenders each have one twisted
pair Ethernet port. The twisted pair ports feature RJ-45 connectors with a
maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). For the port pinout
details, refer to ”RJ-45 Port Pinouts” on page 14.

Type of Cabling.The 10/100Base-TX twisted pair port on the AT­MC601 and AT-MC602 network extenders are designed to operate with
Category 3 or better unshielded twisted pair cables. For 10 Mbps operation
on the twisted pair ports, Category 3 or better 100 ohm unshielded twisted
pair cabling is required. For 100 Mbps operation on the twisted pair ports,
Category 5 and Enhanced Category 5 (5E) 100 ohm unshielded twisted
pair cabling is recommended.

Auto MDI/MDI-X.An RJ-45 twisted pair port on a 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet network device can have one of two possible wiring
configurations: MDI or MDI-X. The RJ-45 port on a PC, router, or bridge
is typically wired as MDI, while the twisted pair port on a switch or hub is
usually MDI-X.

The AT-MC601 and AT-MC602 network extenders feature automatic
MDI/MDI-X. Each port automatically determines the configuration of the
port on the device to which it is connected and then configures itself
appropriately. For example, if a port on a network extender is connected to
a port on a bridge, which is typically wired as MDI, the port on the network
extender automatically configures itself as MDI-X. This feature allows you
to use either straight-through or crossover cables when connecting devices
to the network extender.

13

AT-MC601, AT-MC602 Installation and User’s Guide

Auto-Negotiation.The network extenders Auto-Negotiate the speed
and duplex mode of the Ethernet link, so that the link comes up in the
highest performance configuration supported by both ends.

Half- and Full-duplex Mode.Duplex mode refers to the way an end­node sends and receives data on the network. An end-node can operate in
either half- or full-duplex mode, depending on its capabilities. An end­node that is operating in half-duplex mode can either send data or receive
data, but it cannot do both at the same time. An end-node that is operating
in full-duplex mode can send and receive data simultaneously. The best
network performance is achieved when an end-node can operate at full­duplex, since the end-node is able to send and receive data simultaneously.

The AT-MC601 and AT-MC602 network extenders can operate in either
half- or full-duplex mode. The network extender can operate with end­nodes capable of either half-duplex, full-duplex, or that can Auto­Negotiate the duplex mode. However, it is important to remember that the
two end-nodes connected to the ports on the network extenders must be
able to operate in the same duplex mode.

Configuring the Subscriber Unit

In rare instances, you may need to use the configuration software on the
Subscriber unit to attempt link recovery. If the configuration software
detects a problem with the Subscriber unit while you are connected to the
Provider unit, it will prompt you to use the software on the Subscriber unit
by displaying a pop-up error message. On these occasions, follow the
procedure described in ”Starting a Configuration Session” on page 36 and
then continue with the instructions in this section.

After you have selected the correct port and clicked the OK button, the AT­MC60x Configurator Select Mode screen will appear, as displayed in
Figure 30.

Figure 30 Select Mode

There are two options on the Select Mode screen: Normal and Install.
These options are described below:

Normal

The Normal mode sets the units to operate under normal parameters. The
units will attempt to establish a link using the parameters you set on the
Configuration screen while connected to the Provider unit. See
”Configuration” on page 38 for a description of the Configuration screen.
Using the Normal mode will only allow the units to establish links that
meet the criteria you have set. The disadvantage to using the Normal mode
is that if either of the upstream or downstream speeds you have set are
unattainable, the link attempt will fail because the units are not set to use
the default parameters as back-ups.

Install

The Install mode enables a watchdog timer to monitor the link attempt
process. If the network extenders are not able to establish a link using the
parameters you set on the Provider unit within a reasonable amount of

45

AT-MC601, AT-MC602 Installation and User’s Guide

time, a timeout will occur. After a timeout, the default configuration
parameters will be used to establish a link with the highest possible speed.
The default configuration parameters start at 0.94 Mbps upstream and
downstream with negotiation set from Low -> High.

Select the option that corresponds to your mode choice and click the Apply
button.

When the mode has been set, the AT-MC60x Configurator Done message
will appear, as displayed in Figure 31.

Figure 31 Done Message

When you have finished setting the mode on the Subscriber unit, click the
Close button on the bottom right of the AT-MC60x Configurator menu to
exit from the configuration software.

that the management cable is securely connected to the management
port on the network extender and to the RS-232 port on the
computer. Then make sure you are selecting the correct COM1 or
COM2 port at the software prompt.

❑ “Max speed cannot be lower than min speed: select different

values

”

This error message occurs when you select a maximum speed that is
lower than the set minimum speed during the selection of speed
ranges on the rate adaptation section on the Configuration menu
screen. Select a higher maximum value to correct the problem.

❑ “P side must be connected to start this procedure” or “S side must

be connected to start this procedure

”

These error messages occur when the management cable is
connected to the wrong unit for the procedure you are trying to
perform.This could happen if you switch the management cable
between the units without closing the software window. Simply
switch the management cable to the other unit to correct the
problem.

❑ “Can't read link status”

This message occurs when the software cannot read the link status
from the Provider side. Perform the procedure described in
”Configuring the Subscriber Unit” on page 45 to see if link recovery
on the Subscriber unit solves the problem.

❑ “Please run this program on S side to set it in Install mode. If S side

is already in install mode then configuration can not be
achieved,”

as shown in Figure 34.
