Remote management

The CMEFG10xx-1xx (chassis version) is designed to remotely manage the
SMEFG10xx-1xx (the stand-alone version) or another CMEFG10xx-1xx per IEEE

802.3ah™:2004 standard.

For example, a local CMEFG1011-100 converter installed in a managed Transition
Networks PointSystem™ chassis is connected, via fiber, to a remote SMEFG1011­100 converter.

Network management

The SNMP section lists commands for monitoring and managing a networked
media converter at a remote location. The CMEFG10xx-2xx and SMEFG10xx-2xx
devices are supported by 050xxxxx and later revisions of the management agent.
Please download the latest management firmware at www.transition.com.

Transition Networks CMEFG10xx-1xx and
SMEFG10xx-1xx series gigabit Ethernet media
converters connect 10/100/1000Base-T
shielded or unshielded twisted-pair copper
cable to 1000Base-SX/LX fiber-optic cable.

The media converters are designed to be
installed in pairs where the CMEFG10xx-1xx
is the local media converter and the
SMEFG10xx-1xx is the remote media
converter.

Features

Rate conversion

The media converter allows the connection of 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, and 1000
Mb/s terminal devices over a 1000Base-SX/LX gigabit Ethernet fiber network.

Bandwidth allocation

Bandwidth allocation allows the network administrator to set the bandwidth
of the media converter to in 64 KB increments via SNMP management. The
bandwidth can be allocated in any multiple of 64 KB from “0” up to the
converter’s full bandwidth capability in either KB or Mb values.

AutoCross™

The AutoCross feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI­X) cables to be used when connecting to devices such as hubs, transceivers,
or network interface cards (NICs). AutoCross determines the characteristics of
the cable connection and automatically configures the unit to link up,
regardless of the cable configuration. (Requires no operator intervention.)

Pause

The pause feature is used to temporarily suspend data transmission in order to
relieve buffer congestion. If a media converter needs some time to clear
network congestion, it will send a pause signal to the media converter at the
other end, which will wait a predetermined amount of time before re­transmitting the data. This feature reduces data bottlenecks, allows for a more
efficient use of the network devices, and prevents the loss of valuable data.

The pause feature is set in the Software mode using the SNMP interface, and
can be set to one of four settings:

• Disable (i.e., no pause)

• Symmetrical pause

• Asymmetric TX (transmit) pause

• Asymmetric RX (receive) pause

Notes:

1. Enable the “pause feature” if it is present on ALL network
devices attached to the media converter(s). Otherwise, disable
the pause feature.

2. The “pause feature” is not supported in the SMEFG10xx-1xx
Stand-Alone models.

Operation -- Continued

Automatic link restoration

The CMEFG10xx-1xx and SMEFG10xx-1xx media converters include a
unique feature called automatic link restoration. These two converters will
automatically restore the link between network devices after a fault condition
has been corrected. The competitors’ products, in contrast, require the user to
power down, then power up the converters, after a fault condition has been
corrected.

Loop-Back

When activated via SNMP management, this diagnostic feature enables the
media converter to loop back the signal from the RX port to the TX port for
testing and troubleshooting purposes. Test signals from a bit error test unit
(Smartbits™, etc.) can then be inserted into either the copper or fiber link to
test a particular segment.

This type of diagnostic test can only be performed on the remote location. See
the “Troubleshooting” section for an example.

Auto-Negotiation

The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the media converter to perform
automatic configuration to achieve the best possible mode of operation over
both the copper and fiber links. The media converter will broadcast its speed
(10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, or 1000 Mb/s) and duplex mode (full/half) to the other
devices and negotiate the best mode of operation. Auto-Negotiation allows
quick and easy installation because the optimal link is established
automatically. No user intervention is required to determine the best mode of
operation.

Disable Auto-Negotiation

There may be a scenario where the user may want to disable Auto­Negotiation (e.g., when the media converter is linked to a non-negotiating
device). In this instance, the mode of operation will drop to the least common
denominator between the two devices (e.g., 100 Mb/s, half-duplex).
Disabling this feature gives the user the ability to force the connection to the
desired speed and duplex mode of operation.

Note: When Auto-Negotiation is disabled, the copper port con only be

forced to 10 or 100 Mb/s and half- or full-duplex. 1000 Mb/s on the
copper link always requires Auto-Negotiation to be enabled.

SNMP

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

Use SNMP at an attached terminal or at a remote location to monitor the local
CMEFG10xx-1xx media converter by monitoring:

• Enable/disable the CMEFG10xx-1xx media converter

• Copper and fiber link status

• Copper and fiber port duplex

• Copper port speed

• Enable/disable Auto-Negotiation (copper and fiber)

• Enable/disable pause

• Enable/disable AutoCross

• RMON statistics/MIB counters

• *OAM channel statistics

• Uptime (d:h:m:s) counter with reset

• Enable/disable tagging and priority

• VLAN tagging (Virtual Local Area Network)

• Bandwidth allocation in 64KBytes/s units. (Two fields, one for TX

(copper) to FX (fiber) and one for FX (fiber) to TX (copper), are
available.)

Also, use SNMP to manage the remote SMEFG10xx-1xx or the local
CMEFG10xx-1xx media converter with the following network commands:

• Copper and fiber link status

• Set copper full/half-duplex

• Set copper connection speed (10Mb/s, 100Mb/s, 1000Mb/s)

• Enable/disable Auto-Negotiation (copper and fiber)

• Enable/disable pause

• Enable/disable AutoCross

• RMON statistics/MIB counters

• *OAM channel statistics

• Uptime (d:h:m:s) counter with reset command

• *Remote fiber loop-back (see Troubleshooting for an example)

* OAM channel statistics and remote fiber loop-back management features

will function when the media converter is connected to a
IEEE802.3ah™(2004) compliant device.

Automatic firmware upgrade

The media converter has an automatic firmware upgrade feature. This feature
applies to a data link consisting of a local and remote media converter
connected via fiber optic cable. If the remote converter is not in active mode,
and an in-active-mode local converter detects a different firmware revision in
the remote converter, the local converter will force a boot-load condition and
download its firmware revision. Please note that the local converter may have
an earlier or a later revision than the remote converter. In either case, the
local converter's firmware revision will replace the remote converter's
revision.

Full-Duplex network

In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type
of cables used. See the “cable specifications” section for the different
CMEFG10xx-xx models. The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex
network.

Half-Duplex network (512-Bit Rule)

In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the
round trip delay limitations of each Fast Ethernet collision domain. (A collision

domain is the longest path between any two terminal devices, e.g. a terminal,
switch, or router.)

The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by
calculating the round-trip delay in bit-times (BT) of a particular collision
domain. If the result is less than or equal to 512 BT, the path is good.

For more information on the 512-Bit Rule, see the white paper titled “Collision
Domains” on the Transition Networks website at: www.transition.com

Note: For the SMEFG10xx-1xx media converter:

• When Auto-Negotiation is enabled, the fiber port operates in both
full- and half-duplex modes.

• When Auto-Negotiation is disabled, the fiber port operates in full­duplex only.

Note: The CMEFG10xx-1xx media converter can operate in either full- or

half-duplex mode whether the Auto-Negotiation feature is enabled or
disabled.

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.
