User’s Guide

CSDTF30xx-11x

Slide-in-Module Device

• E1 with Remote Management

• Coax (BNC) to Fiber

Transition Networks CSDTF30xx-11x series Device,
designed to be installed into the Transition Networks
PointSystem™ chassis, encodes and decodes E1 coax copper
signals over fiber optic cable to extend the distance and
transmission reliability of high-speed E1 data traffic. The
CSDTF30xx-11x is framing independent (as ESF vs. D4)

and supports all common line codes (e.g., AMI, B8ZS,
HDB3). The CSDTF30xx-11x is designed to be installed in pairs. For example, install
one CSDTF3011-115 as the local Device and another CSDTF3011-115 as the remote
Device.

Installation

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when setting the jumper. Failure to observe this caution could result in
damage to, and subsequent failure of, the media cverter.

Set the Hardware/Software Jumper

The jumper is located on the circuit board. Use needle-nose pliers to move the
jumper to the desired position.

Hardware The Device mode is determined by the

switch settings.

Software The Device mode is determined by the

most-recently saved, on-board
microprocessor settings.

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when installing the CSDTF30xx-11x slide-in-module Device. Failure
to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the
Device.

1. Locate an emply installation slot in the PointSystem™ chassis

2. Carefully slide the slide-in-module into the installation slot, aligning the
module with the installation guides.

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

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

Set the Loop-Back Switch

Hardware Mode:

The loop-back switch is located on the front panel of the Device and is used for
installation and network debugging procedures.

To set the switch, use a small flat-blade screwdriver or a similar device (see the

drawing to the right).

CL (Coax loop-back) Enable loop-back on the local coax interface.

-- (Center position) Normal operation.

FL (Fiber loop-back) Enable loop-back on the

local fiber interface.

Software Mode:

If both Devices are under software control, the network administrator can initiate
the loop-back test function on the coax interface (local or remote) or on the fiber
interface (local or remote).

Install the Copper Cable

1. Locate or build coax cables with female connectors installed at both ends.

2. Connect the coax cables to the Device as described:

• Connect the female TX cable connector to the male TX port.

• Connect the female RX cable connector to the male RX port.

3. Connect the coax cables to the other device (switch, workstation, etc.) as
described:

• Connect the female TX cable connector to the male RX port.

• Connect the female RX cable connector to the male TX port.

Install the Fiber Cable

1. Locate or build fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors
installed at both ends.

2. Connect the fiber cables to the local Device as described:

• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.

• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.

Operation

After installation, the Device should function without operator intervention. Use the
status LEDs to monitor the Device operation in the network.

SDC (Signal Detect / Coax) On = The coax link is up.

SDF (Signal Detect / Fiber) On = The fiber link is up.

PWR (Power) On = The Device is connected to

external power.

Remote Management

The CSDTF30xx-11x chassis Device can remotely manage the
SSDTF30xx-11x, the stand-alone version of the Device, or
another CSDTF30xx-11x.

For example, a local CSDTF3011-115 Device (that is installed
in a managed Transition Networks PointSystem™ chassis) is
connected, via fiber, to a remote SSDTF3011-115 Device. An
example of a managed single-fiber network has a local
CSDTF3029-115 Device connected, via fiber, to a remote
SDTF3029-116.

See the SNMP section (below) for a list of commands that can
be used to monitor and manage the CSDTF30xx-11x and
SSDTF30xx-11x Devices.

NOTE: In a managed network, both the local and remote
Devices must be set to “software” mode (see page 2).

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 Device by
monitoring:

• Media Device power

• Copper link and fiber link status (local and/or remote)

• AIS detected on copper link and fiber link (local and/or remote)

• Hardware switch settings

Also, use SNMP to enter network commands that:

• Bootload the firmware (local only)

• Enable/disable loopback on the copper link (local and/or remote)

• Enable/disable loopback on the fiber link (local and/or remote)

• Enable/disable Transmit All Ones on the fiber link when the copper link
is down (local and/or remote)

• Enable/disable Transmit All Ones on the copper link when the fiber link
is down (local and/or remote)

• Power-down the Device
