Introduction
1.1 Brieng
The Intelligent Media Converter Chassis WMC-1600R series provides 16-slot and one management system in the 19”-rack chassis. The management function enable network administrator to monitor the media converter connection status and congure the converter via SNMP agent, Telnet and Web remotely or via RS-232 console port, yet eases the maintenance of media conversion.
The WMC-1600R series media converter chassis allows the connectivity of up to sixteen PLANET Smart Fast / Gigabit Ethernet Converter in one chassis. With the independent power supply on each slot of the WMC-1600R series, you can freely install or remove the converters without interrupting the rest of the networks. Moreover, it’s very exible that each bay of the media converter chassis can be deployed with PLANET’s smart media converter family. Redundant power supply is also provided to enhance the reliability with option of either 100~240V AC power or -48V DC power.

1.2 Features

• High quality 19” Rack-Mountable Chassis installation
• Supports up to sixteen slide-in modular media converters hot-swappable
• Two power slots for redundant power support with options of 100~240V AC or -48V DC
• Reduce the effort of converter maintenance and management, diagnose the status at one
time
• Two fans brings the air-flow for system cooling, and LED indicators for system and fan
status
• Bay power isolation ensure each bay is electrically isolated from each other
• Support PLANET smart series Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter
• One 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet port and one RS-232 port for management
• Configurable through console, Telnet and Web and SNMP
• Provide the status of power, fan and converters with SNMP trap function for any chassis and
connectivity events.

UNPACKING AND INSTALL
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Media Converter Chassis.

2.1 Unpacking

Open the box of the WMC-1600R and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items:
One Intelligent Media Converter Chassis with one power supply installed
One RS-232 Cable
One Power Cord
CD-ROM
Rack mounting Kit

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.

2.2 Installation

The site where you place the chassis system may greatly affect its performance. When installing, take the following into your consideration:
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specically, the site you select should meet the following requirements:
- The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius).
- The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non?condensing.
- Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic eld (RFC) standards for IEC 801?3, Level 2 (3V/M) eld strength.
- Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation at the rear. Do not block the fan exhaust holes on the rear of the chassis.
- The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the chassis.

2.3 Deciding How to Install the System

We strongly suggest that you install the chassis rst, as this is more convenient for you to install media converters into the chassis with ease. The accessories supplied in the product package include: rack-mount screws (8 pcs) and rack-mount brackets (2 pcs). This well-built chassis can be installed in the following ways:

2.3.1 Mounted to 19-inch standard rack

Use the rack-mount brackets and screws to install the chassis into any EIA 19" standard rack.
Step 1: Attach the brackets to each side of the chassis. Apply four screws to each side
and secure them tightly.
Step 2: Carefully position the chassis into the rack. Align the brackets to the side
holes on the rack and use rack screws to secure the chassis with the rack.
Step 3: Proceed to the “Connecting to Power” section.

2.3.2 Installing Media Converter

The chassis is equipped with sixteen media converter carriers, each of which is tted into bays of the chassis.
Step 1: To install a media converter module onto the chassis, you have to unscrew the
bay cover from the desired bay rst.
Step 2: Unscrew the hand screw counter clockwise by using hand or screwdriver and
pull out the media converter out the carrier as shown below.
Unscrew the hand screw counter clockwise by using hand or screwdriver and pull the media converter module out on the carrier

Step 3: Carefully slide in the module and fasten the hand screw clockwise by
using hand or screwdriver until it is fully and rmly tted into the slot of the chassis.
Insert the media converter module into an available slot and fasten the hand screw clockwise by using hand or screwdriver.

2.3.3 Connecting to Power (Power Supply)

The chassis ships with only one power supply, and a second power supply option is at your discretion. When the chassis is equipped with two power supplies, you can have the following advanced performance.
Hot Swappable
The design of the power system is based on an idea of providing maximum exibility and redundancy. In this way, you may remove any of the two power supplies without turning off the system.
Redundancy
During operation, both power supplies are switched on and share the current load. In case that one of them should fail, the other will instantaneously take 100% of the load without any loss. Similarly, if one power supply is removed from servicing, it can be switched off and removed while the chassis continues functioning.
Protection System –
The power of each converter bay comes from the two shared power supplies. Each bay is isolated from each other under a certain protection mechanism, so that it is free from any problem that might occur to the power supplies or faulty converter bay. This is the best solution to protect your investment in media converters.
Note : There is an optional solution for the backup power, -48 volt DC to DC
Power Supply.
The chassis system is equipped with one power supply and allows one additional power supply for redundancy. For reliable operation, we suggest that you run the chassis system with two power supplies are in place.
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the back of the chassis.
Step 2: Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100~240
VAC.
Step 3: Turn on the chassis system by ipping the switch beside the receptacle to ON
position. The LED on the front panel of power supply will come on then.
