Introduction
This professional grade, managed media converter chassis solution enables LAN
workgroups and network users to be connected by a fibre path to remote switches,
routers and servers etc. The Ethernet circuits passing through the chassis are fully
managed and enable the network manager to have a high degree of control over the
system.
Link defects and other circuit problems are promptly reported to enable the network
manager to manage and control the network to a much higher level than using basic
un-managed media converters.
The distant end optical devices can be any 100Base-FX or Gigabit Ethernet media
converter or LAN switch/router port. These remote devices cannot controlled or
configured by this SNMP managed chassis product.
Meeting all the relevant standards for 10Mbit/s, 100Mbit/s and Gigabit Ethernet,
installation is ‘plug-and-play’ and requires no technical knowledge.
The hot-swappable managed media converters cards support ST, MT-RJ and SC
single and multimode fibre formats.
With support for hot-swappable management card, dual-redundant and hot-swappable
AC and DC power packs, this managed chassis system delivers a very robust solution
for critical applications.

Management Methods
The Tyco SNMP managed media converter chassis supports the following
management methods:
n Console Management
n Telnet Management
n Web-based Management
n SNMP Network Management
Console Management
The chassis can be managed by the RS-232 Console Port on the Management Card
using a terminal emulation or other program on a PC. A range of simple text based
menus guides the user through the configuration process. See page 15.
Telnet Management
The chassis can be remotely managed over the network using a standard Telnet client
that is available in most PCs and workstations. Telnet can be used to log in and control
the chassis configuration. The same format menus as used in the Console
Management are displayed. Note that the Telnet session remains active until the
session is closed at the client.
Web Based Management
The chassis can be managed using a standard web browser that supports Java
applets. This interface has the same functionality as the console/Telnet interfaces but
is more user-friendly. The chassis can be managed from anywhere on the network
through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. See page 30.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and
control a network device, and to manage configurations, statistic collection,
performance and security.
Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and software processes
reporting activity in each network device to the workstation console used to oversee
the network. The agent returns information contained in a MIB (Management
Information Base), which is a data structure that defines the device and what can be
controlled.

Installation
Pre-Installation Requirements
Before you start hardware installation, make sure your installation environment has
following items:
• Standard PC with 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface
• S/UTP LAN cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
• Fibre cables with the required connector formats (SC/ST/MT-RJ connectors)
• A dedicated AC power source at 100 to 240V AC at 50/60 Hz or 48v DC power.
Ensure that the chassis power is accessible and power cables can be connected
easily.
• A dry cool location. Keep the chassis away from moisture and avoid direct sunlight,
sources of heat and high amount of electromagnetic interference.
• Small cross-head screw driver to remove the chassis blanking panels
• Large screw driver to mount the chassis in a rack.
Cautions:
• All cabling must be routed away from sources of electrical noise such as radio,
computers, transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines etc.
• Airflow around the chassis and through its vents on the rear must not be restricted.
DC Power Supply Connections
The optional 48v DC plug-in power unit (Model Number 0-1591506-0) can be fitted into
the chassis. Remove the fan unit from the chassis unit and carefully insert the DC
power unit into the chassis. Secure the power unit with screws. The DC power supply
has a set of screw terminals on the rear of the power unit. Secure the supply leads to
these screw terminals using spade style connections.
• Connect the 0v or negative of the DC supply to the screw marked GND
• Connect the +48v or positive of the DC supply to the screw marked VIN
Ensure that the input DC supply is floating with respect to chassis to avoid ground
loops.
Tyco SNMP Managed Media Converters Page 12
Desktop Installation
Set the chassis on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby, and near
the centre of all networked devices. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the
chassis is grease and dust free. Remove the adhesive backing from the supplied
rubber feet.
Figure 5 – Fitting Rubber Feet
Apply the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the chassis. These footpads can
prevent the chassis from shock/vibrations.
Caution: Do not place objects on top of the chassis unit or obstruct the side vents.
Rack-mounted Installation
The SNMP Managed converter chassis is supplied with a rack-mounted kit and can be
mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack. The chassis can be placed in a wiring
closet with other equipment.
Perform the following steps to rack mount the chassis:
• Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the chassis and
secure it with the smaller bracket screws.
• Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the chassis.
Figure 6 – Fitted Rack Mounted Ears
0-1591500-x ©Tyco Electronics 2004 Issue 1.2
Tyco SNMP Managed Media Converters Page 13
After attaching both mounting brackets, position the chassis in the rack by lining up the
holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the chassis to the
rack with the rack-mounting screws.
Figure 7 – Fitting Chassis into a rack
[Note] For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on the
front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the chassis. This is especially important
for enclosed rack installation.
Applying Power
After all network cables are connected, apply AC or DC power as required to the
SNMP managed chassis. Turn the power on using the power switch on the back panel.
Check the front panel power indicator LEDs on the Management Card to verify that
power is properly supplied. See page 15 for details.
Simple Diagnostic Test
After the installation is completed and the power is applied to the chassis, the system
will automatically perform a diagnostic test.
After boot-up, the CPU Ready LED indicator on the Management Card will toggle on
and off every 3~5 seconds if media converter cards are installed in the chassis.
