AS4TEF10xx-10x

Stand-Alone Media Converter

• RS-232 to Fiber

• (4) T1/E1 to Fiber

The AS4TEF10xx-10x media converter can extend signals from an RS-232 data port and

up to four (4) T1/E1 network ports over fiber. The RS-232 and T1/E1 interfaces are independent of each other and the signals from these ports can be sent over the fiber interface simultaneously.

The AS4TEF10xx-10x is designed to be installed in pairs. For example, install one S4TEF1011-100 as the local media converter and another S4TEF1011-100 as the remote media converter.

All S4TEF10xx-10x models have the following copper connectors:

The various fiber connectors are available on separate models. Both duplex and single mode fiber optic converters are available:

Hardware/Software Jumper

The hardware/software jumper is inside the media converter housing and is located near the back end of the upper circuit board.

Hardware The media converter mode is determined by

the switch settings (see pages 3 - 6).

Software The media converter mode is determined by

the most-recently saved, on-board microprocessor settings.

Hardware Mode

Software Mode

To set the jumper:

1. Using a small screwdriver, remove the four (4) screws that secure the cover and carefully remove the cover from the media converter.

2. Locate the hardware/software jumper.

3. Using small needle-nosed pliers or similar device, move the jumper to the desired position (see above).

4. Carefully replace the cover on the media converter and replace the four (4) screws that secure the cover to the media converter.

Power the Media Converter

1. Connect the barrel connector on the power adapter to the media converter’s power port (located on the back of the media converter).

2. Connect the power adapter plug to AC power.

3. Verify that the media converter is powered by observing the illuminated LED power indicator light.

NOTE: For DC power, consult the user’s guide for the Transition Networks SPS1872-xx DC external power supply.

Remote Management Function

The S4TEF10xx-10x, can be remotely managed when connected via fiber cable to a local C4TEF10xx-10x slide-in-module media converter that is installed in a managed Transition Networks PointSystem™ chassis. The SNMP section (below) lists the commands that can be used to monitor and manage a networked S4TEF10xx-10x media converter at a remote location. For more details, see the C4TEF10xx-10x user’s guide on-line at: www.transition.com.

SNMP

See the on-line documentation that comes with Transition Networks FocalPoint™ software for applicable commands and usage.

Use SNMP at an attached terminal or at a remote location to monitor the media converter by monitoring:

• Media converter power

• Fiber link status

• Copper link status for each T1/E1 (AIS, link)

• RS-232 status (speed, bits, parity, stop)

• AIS detected on fiber link

• All hardware switch settings

• Model #, serial #, PIC revision, HW revision, group string, connectors

Also, use SNMP to enter network commands that:

• Local and remote fiber loop-back

• Local and remote T1/E1 loop-back for each channel

• T1/E1 line options (DS1, DSX-1, J1, D1, AIS)

• RS-232 settings (speed, bits, parity, stop)

• T1/E1 monitor modes and loop-back modes

• Boot-load firmware (local unit only)

The local (auxiliary) factory maintenance interface via the RS-232 connector supports:

• Switch selection for the RS-232 interface

• Access to all local and remote status information

• Perform all local and remote commands

• Operate at selected baud rates

Troubleshooting

If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the failure by determining the answers to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:

1. Is the “PWR” LED illuminated? NO

• Ensure that the power adapter is the proper type of voltage and cycle

frequency for the outlet (See “Power Supply” on page 14.)

• Ensure the power adapter is properly installed in the media converter

and in the grounded outlet.

YES

• Proceed to step 2.

2. Is the “LKF” LED illuminated? NO

• Check the fiber cables for proper connection.

• Verify that the TX and RX cables on the local media converter are

connected to the RX and TX ports, respectively, on the remote media converter.

YES

• Proceed to step 3.

3. Is the “LNK” LED on a T1/E1port (with a copper cable installed) illuminated? NO

• Check the copper cable connected to that T1/E1 port for proper

connection.

• .

YES

• Proceed to step 4.

4. Is the “AIS” LED on a T1/E1 port (with a copper cable installed) illuminated? YES

• The device connected to the T1/E1 port has failed. Correct the device

failure.

• .

• Proceed to step 5.
