Installation

Set the HW/SW Jumper

• The jumper is located on the circuit board, labeled “J1”.

• Use needle-nose pliers to set the jumper.

Hardware: The media converter settings can be monitored

using SNMP, but cannot be managed.

Software: The media converter settings are monitored and

managed using SNMP.

Install the Slide-In-Module

IMPORTANT: Slots in the PointSystem™ chassis that do not have a module installed MUST have a protective plate covering the empty slot for Class A and/or Class B compliance.

Note: The slide-in-modules may be installed in any slot and in any order.

To install the CFMFF4040-100 optical line converter:

1. Locate an empty installation slot on the PointSystem™ chassis.

2. Carefully slide the converter into the slot, aligning the it with the installation guides.

3. Ensure that the module is firmly seated inside the chassis.

4. Push in and rotate the the attached panel fastener screw clockwise to secure the module to the chassis front.

Operation

Status LEDs

The CFMFF4040-100 optical line converter is designed to operate without user intervention. Use the status LEDs to monitor the operation of the converter in the network.

PWR (Power) On = Connection to external power.

LK1 (Fiber Link 1) On = Fiber port 1 is receiving a signal.

LK2 (Fiber Link 2) On = Fiber port 2 is receiving a signal.

Link Pass-Through

The Link Pass-Through feature allows the media converter to monitor both fiber RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. In the event of an RX signal loss (1), the media converter will automatically disable the TX (transmit) signal (2), thus, “passing through” the link loss (3). The far-end device is automatically notified of the link loss (4), which prevents the loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link.

Operation -- continued

SNMP

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

• Media converter power*

• Presence of SFP modules

• Fiber link status

• SFP vendor and model*

• Media converter temperature*

• TX/RX power*

Also, use SNMP to enter network commands that:

• Turn ON/OFF the media converter

• Turn ON/OFF the SFP ports

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

* Some third-party manufacturers of SFP modules might not provide these features in their product. If this is the case, the FocalPoint™ software will not display these features.

Diagnostic Monitoring Interface (DMI)

The following DMI port screen and explanation table contains brief definitions of the DMI support offered on Transition Networks SFP optical interfaces. For further information, please see the help option on the CPSMM-xxx SNMP agent or Focal Point, Transition Networks' GUI.

Variable Name Description

DMI Rx Power Measured Receive optical power in microwatts and in

decibels relative to 1mW.

DMI Rx Power Alarm Alarm status of measured Receive optical power.

DMI Temp Internally measured temperature of transceiver in degrees C

and degrees F.

DMI Temp Alarm Alarm status for internally measured temperature of

transceiver.

DMI Bias Current Measured transmit bias current in microamperes.

DMI Bias Alarm Alarm status for measured transmit bias current for the

interface.

DMI Tx Power Measured transmit power, in microwatts and in decibels

relative to 1mW..

DMI Tx Power Alarm Alarm status of measured transmit power.

Rx Power Intrusion Threshold

Instructs the converter to stop passing traffic when the receive power drops below the new threshold. This feature is sometimes referred to as 'Intrusion Detection,' since tapping into a fiber to intercept traffic leads to a reduction in receive power. This value can be entered in microwatts or in decibels relative to 1mW.

Note: This feature is not available on all devices.

Troubleshooting

If the CFMFF4040-100 converter fails, isolate and correct the failure by determining the answers to the following questions and taking the indicated action:

1. Is the PWR (power) LED illuminated? NO

• Ensure the converter is inserted properly into the chassis.

• Ensure the power cord is properly installed in the chassis and in the grounded outlet.

• Ensure the grounded outlet provides power.

• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312, International: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

• Proceed to step 2.

2. Are both LK1 & LK2 LEDs (fiber link for ports 1 & 2) illuminated? NO

• Ensure both SFP transceiver modules are properly inserted in the converter.

• Check the fiber cables for proper connection.

• Verify that the TX and RX cables on the media converter are connected to the RX and TX ports, respectively, on the other device.

• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312, International: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

• Proceed to step 3.

3. Is the LK1 LED (fiber link 1) flashing? NO

• If there is no network activity on port 1, proceed to step 4.

• If there is network activity on port 1, disconnect and reconnect the fiber cables to restart the initialization process.

• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312, International: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

• Proceed to step 4.

4 Is the LK2 LED (fiber link 2) flashing?

• If there is no network activity on port 2, contact technical support.

• If there is network activity on port 2, disconnect and reconnect the fiber cables to restart the initialization process.

• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312, International: 00-1-952-941-7600.
