1 - Overview

A media-converter may be defined as a device connecting two active network
components point-to-point over a media that is different from the ports of at least one
of these devices.

An ideal media-converter should be a transparent element in the network, and its
ports may be considered as integral parts of the devices interconnected by it.

Most of the high speed networking devices (such as ATM or Fast-Ethernet switches)
are available with multi-mode fiber-optic ports. Other devices – when offered with
Single-Mode fiber interfaces are very expensive and not flexible in use.
The MSM100U module series for the MetroStar System provides the network
designer with a flexible, cost effective device for network extension.
The MSM100U is a universal, protocol transparent device; converting optical signals
ranging up to 155Mbps from multi-mode to single mode fibers and distances of up to
150km (data rate covers range from 40 to 155Mbps)
Being transparent, their deployment is easy and does not require any settings or
measurements.
The device is protocol independent for the specified transmission speed however it is
delivered qualified for the 2 most popular standards in this range: ATM/OC3 and
100Base-FX.
MSM100U models may be used with Single Fiber F/O ports for network extension
or wavelength converters.

2 - Key Features

• Easy Installation – protocol independent, plug-and-play

• Network extension – up to 150km

• Data Rate – up to 155Mbps (100FX/ATM/OC3)

Loop-back feature for each F/O port

• DIP slide switches set-up

3 - Planning your network with MSM100U module

When planning an optical network based on the MSM100U you have to take care of
only one issue: the proper duplex mode of the entire network. As a rule, the entire
network should be set to the same mode: FDX: in this case both throughputs and
distances are maximized.

The MSM100U module family series are normally deployed in ATM/OC3 environment
or in Fast Ethernet networks covering distances up to 150 Km.

7 - Installation

Slot assignment

MSM100U module may be installed in any of the slots marked 1 to 12,
However by installing modules systematically next to each other (from left to right) it will
make it easier to install additional modules in the future allowing clear access to the slots.

Installation of Modules

All MetroStar™ modules are hot swappable however it is recommended – whenever
operationally acceptable, to install a module (or swap an already installed module) while
the system is powered OFF.
All modules are equipped with two self-clinching screws – always use BOTH of them for

safe insertion and removal of modules into/from the system.
To install a module in a vacant slot: remove the blank panel covering the slot using a
crosshead screwdriver. Hold the module vertically with one hand by the side facets of the
metal frame of the module. Do not touch the PCB (printed circuit board) or any of the
components with your hand. The frame is asymmetrical: its bottom end rectangular while
its other side has a diagonally “cut” edge – make sure this side is up. Align both upper and
lower edges of the PCB with the lower and upper Nylon guides of the slot and gently glide
the module into the slot, applying only a small pressure. If correctly positioned and
aligned, it should allow the module all the way in. At the final stage (2-3 mm short of full
insertion) you will experience a slightly higher resistance – apply a higher pressure with
your finger on the panel of the module till you feel it “clicks in” and its panel is flush with
the surface of the chassis. At this point, if the MetroStar™ is powered ON the PWR
LED (left-upper side of the module or any corresponding LEDs on the PMM) will light. If
not lit, ensure that unit is powered UP; if still not lit – remove the module and re-insert. Is
problem persists; troubleshoot by inserting same module in a different slot and/or another
module in the suspected slot. Fasten both self-clinching screws using your fingers by
turning them clockwise, while doing that an increasing resistance indicates that the screw
is well aligned with its nut. Finally, using a crosshead screwdriver fasten both screws
(normally no more than one full turn will be required). Make sure not to apply excess
power.
To Swap a module

: Unfasten the 2 screws using a cross-head screwdriver then continue
by turning them with your fingers counter-clockwise till the head of the screw “pops out”.
Hold both screws with fingers of BOTH hands and pull the module out. Ensure applying
balanced force at both screws to maintain vertical position throughout the process,
although it might be necessary to slightly tilt the module at the very first mm. Continue as
above to insert the new module. If you choose to leave the slot vacant, always close it with
a blank panel.

Warning: Do not INSTALL a module into a slot with already attached F/O
cabling. Connect the F/O cables to the module ports only after having verified
that the module is well inserted and its Power LED is lit.

Conversely, DISCONNECT the F/O cabling from the module ports before
replacing it. Non-compliance with the above procedures may cause module’s
malfunction.

8 - Fiber Optic Connection

The MSM100U module is equipped with a pairs of Duplex SC-type connectors.
Do not remove the protective covers on the fiber connectors until you are ready to
connect the fiber optic cables. Power should be connected before attaching the fiber
optic cables. When dealing with fiber optic cables, it is essential to ensure that the TX
at one end of the link is connected to the RX at the other end of the link. Some
duplex fiber optic cables are color coded to help monitor the direction of data
transmission. If the fibers are not coded, special attention must be paid to ensure a
proper connection. Remember that at both local and remote sites the transmit and
receive fibers must be connected

CAUTION

Radiation emitted from a fiber optic connector may be hazardous
to human vision. Therefore, the following rules must be strictly
observed
All Single-mode (SM) models are CLASS I LASER PRODUCT that
may endanger your eyes and must be handled with special care
When not in use, keep the fiber optic connector closed using its
protective cover

Never stare directly into the fiber optic connector of a powered
device or into the end of a fiber connected to it.
Do not look directly into the fiber optic cables or transmitter

Laser Safety

The emissions produced by the module described in this guide are under Class 1
emission level according to IEC 60825-1 and the FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.1.
These modules shall not be installed in an optical network handling above Class 1
level.

Fiber Installation

Insert the multi-mode F/O jumper connecting the nearby device to the duplex SC
connector located on the topside of the module front panel (port 1). Make sure that
the fiber leading from the transmit connector of that device connects to the RX port
and vice versa and that the connectors of both ends of jumper are tightly inserted.
Check that the module top LED marked “Signal Detect” is ON. If not ON, make sure
that the nearby device is ON and transmitting.

Insert the single-mode F/O jumper (leading to the remote device or remote
MSM100U) to the duplex SC connector located on the bottom side of the module
front panel (port 2). Make sure that the fiber leading from the transmit connector of
that device connects to the RX port and vice versa and that the connectors of both
ends of jumper are tightly inserted. Verify that the module bottom LED marked
“Signal Detect” is ON. If not ON, make sure that the remote device is powered ON. If
in doubt, verify incoming power by using a standard optical power meter.

12 - Typical Network

The Central Node and the remote sites are interconnected by means of MSM100U
media converter modules installed in the FibroLAN MetroStar System and by the
remote FibroLAN U.CON1 converter devices.
These units are also stand-alone Universal Multi-mode to Single Mode Media
Converters (range: 25/40/70/100/150Km), supporting Fast Ethernet and ATM/OC3.

The MetroStar™ system equipped with an MMM-01 management module can
be monitored and managed from any SNMP management station running
popular management platforms (e.g. Fibro LAN’s MetroView, HP OpenView,

SNMPc, etc).

If the problem persists after carrying out the above procedure, do the following: exchange your
MSM100U or MSM622U with another similar module believed to be functional, and re-perform
the requested check.
If that has solved the problem, send the faulty module for repair. If the problem still persists,
there is probably some sort of general network failure. Call your network support/administrator
for assistance or contact FibroLAN ([e-mail]
