Overview

Introduction

The CSM-200 series is an Ethernet to optical fiber media converter and is part
of the NRack System. It provides Ethernet media conversion from 10/100
BaseT(X) to 100 BaseFX (S C or ST connectors), and can be installed in every
chassis of the NRack System.

The CSM-200 Series includes the following models:

• CSM-200-1213: 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX slide-in module media

converter, multi-mode ST connector.

• CSM-200-1214: 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX slide-in module media

converter, multi-mode SC connector.

• CSM-200-1218: 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX slide-in module media

converter, single-mode SC connector.

Installation

The CSM-200 media converter slide-in module can be hot-swapped, which
means the chassis doesn’t need to be powered off or removed during
installation. Align the slide-in module with the chassis installation slot so that
the panel fastener screw is at the top of the module, and carefully slide the
slide-in module into the slot while aligning the module’s circuit board with the
installation guide.

Ensure that the slide-in module is firmly seated inside the chassis. Push in and
rotate the attached panel fastener screw clockwise to secure the module to the
chassis.

Why Convert Ethernet to Fiber?

Fiber communication not only extends the communication distance, but also
provides many advantageous features.

• IMMUNITY FROM ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE:

Fiber is not affected by electromagnetic interference or radio frequency
interference. It provides a clean communication path and is immune to
cross-talk.

• INSULATION:

Optical fiber is an insulator; the glass fiber eliminates the need for using
electric currents as the communication medium.

• SECURITY:

Fiber cannot be tapped by conventional electric means and is very difficult
to tap into optically. Furthermore, radio and satellite communication
signals can be captured easily for decoding.

• RELIABILITY & MAINTENANCE:

Fiber is immune to adverse temperature and moisture conditions, does not
corrode or lose its signal, and is not affected by short circuits, power
surges, or static electricity.

ATTENTION

Electrostatic Discharge Warning!

To protect the product from damage due to electrostatic
discharge, we recommend wearing a grounding device when
handling your CSM-200 slide-in modules.

Communication Connections

The CSM-200 Series has one 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet port, and one
100BaseFX (SC or ST type connector) fiber port.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports located on CSM-200 are used to connect
to Ethernet-enabled devices.

Below we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X
(HUB/Switch-type) ports, and also show cable wiring diagrams for
straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.

100BaseFX Fiber Port Connection

The concept behind the SC port and cable is quite straightforward. Suppose
you are connecting devices I and II. Contrary to electrical signals, optical
signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently, one of
the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I to device II, and the
other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I, for
full-duplex transmission.

All you need to remember is to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the
Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx
(transmit) port of device II. If you are making your own cable, we suggest
labeling the two sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B,
as shown below, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to -B2).

ATTENTION

This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Do not stare into the
Laser Beam.

Switch Settings

There is 1 set of DIP switches on the board. The following figure and table
give the settings for the 5-connector DIP switch.

DIP Function ON OFF

1 Auto Negotiation Enable Disable
2 Force TP Speed 100 M 10 M
3 Force TP Duplex Full Duplex Half Duplex
4 Link Fault Pass Through Enable Disable
5 Operating Mode Store-and-Forward Pass Through

NOTE

1. A ll the DIP settings default to “ON”.

2. When configured for Pass Through mode, the Ethernet port

and fiber port should transmit at 100 Mbps, which is
equivalent to full duplex mode.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection

The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the Moxa CSM-200’s
10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without needing to
determine the type of Ethernet cable being used for the connection.

This means that you can use either a straight-through cable or cross-over cable
to connect the CSM-200 Series to Ethernet devices.

Dual Speed Functionality and
Switching

The Moxa CSM-200’s 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port auto negotiates with
the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate supported by both
devices. All models of the CSM-200 Series are plug-and-play devices, so that
software configuration is not required at installation, or during maintenance.
The half/full duplex mode for the RJ45 Ethernet ports is user dependent and
changes (by auto-negotiation) to full or half duplex, depending on which
transmission speed is supported by the attached device.

Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing

All of the CSM-200’s RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support
auto-negotiation for 10BaseT and 100BaseTX transmission speeds, with
operation according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.

This means that some nodes could be operating at 10 Mbps, while at the same
time other nodes are operating at 100 Mbps.

Auto-negotiation takes place when an RJ45 cable connection is made, and then
each time a LINK is enabled. Moxa’s CSM-200 advertises its capability for
using either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps transmission speeds, with the device at the
other end of the cable expected to advertise similarly. Depending on what type
of device is connected, this will result in agreement to operate at a speed of
either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.

If a Moxa CSM-200 RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a non-negotiating
device, it will default to 10 Mbps speed and half-duplex mode, as required by
the IEEE 802.3u standard.
