About this Manual

This document covers the MIL-170TRM media converter module. The terms “MIL-170,” MIL-170TRM,” and “converter” are used throughout this document to describe the MIL-170TRM.

Introduction

The MIL-170TRM is one of a series of modules designed to be installed into Digi's Media Conversion System. This half-/full-duplex device converts optical signals to electrical and vice-versa.
The device has a signal capability of transmitting up to 15 km (subject to fiber budget and collision domain restrictions). This module also has the Link Sentry feature.

Features

One RJ-45 (UTP) connector
One single-mode, ST connector
Link Sentry feature
Diagnostic LEDs
Management ready–supplied by the optional SNMP modules (MIL-4650 and MIL-4655)
Power supply equipped on the rack mount chassis

Installation

Do the following to install the MIL-170TRM into a redundant rack mount chassis:
1. Make any configuration changes to the module (i.e., DIP switch settings).
2. Remove the screws securing the faceplate and remove it from the chassis.
3. Slide the module into the slot through the guide rails.
4. Insert the module into the card-edge connector (port bay). Make sure it is seated firmly.
5. Secure the module with the two thumbscrews located on the faceplate of the unit.
The unit is now ready for network connections.
Model: MIL-170TRM 2
Install Guide

MDI-X/MDI Switch

The MDI-X/MDI switch allows for quick configuration of the 10BASE-T port. Cables used when the switch is in the MDI-X position (the “left” position):
For a hub/repeater, use a swap cable (pins are connected 1 to 3, 2 to 6, 3 to 1, and 6 to 2)
For a workstation/PC, use a straight-through cable (pins are connected 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, and 6 to 6)

Cables used when the switch is in the MDI position (the “right” position):

For a workstation/PC port, use a swap cable (pins are connected 1 to 3, 2 to 6, 3 to 1, and 6 to 2)
Link Sentry Configuration
The Link Sentry feature on the MIL-170TRM is configured through a 4-position DIP switch (refer to Figure 1). Default setting for the DIP switches: All switches are in the “up” position.
Link Sentry allows users to add new management tools to the network. When enabled, it monitors the selected receiver port and, if the Link test signal is not seen, the unit will stop sending a signal through the selected transmit port.
Model: MIL-170TRM 3
Install Guide
The following table shows which Link Sentry feature is enabled:

Switch Losing Link on RX of Stop sending Link on TX of
1 (down) Fiber port Fiber port 2 (down) UTP port UTP port 3 (down) UTP port Fiber port 4 (down) Fiber port UTP port
Note:
For two MIL-170s used back-to-back and UTP-to-UTP, all DIP switches must be (in the “down” position) on the first MIL-170. On the second MIL-170, enable switches 1 and 4 (in the “down” position).
Default setting for Link Sentry: All switches set in the “up” position (disabled). When using the SNMP module to control the Link Sentry feature, leave the switches in the default mode (“up”).

Indicators

There are four LEDs, including:
TP/ACT : Receiving packets from the 10BASE-T port TP/LINK : There is an active connection on the 10BASE-T port FX/LINK : There is an active connection on the 10BASE-FL port FX/ACT : Receiving packets from the 10BASE-FL port
