Chapter 1: Overview Media Converter Module Slots The two slots on the front panel of the chassis are for the media converter modules, such as the twelve channel AT-MCF2012LC Fast Ethernet Media Converter Module. Media converters are designed to interconnect networking devices over large distances by transferring network traffic between twisted pair cable and fiber optic cable.
AT-MCF2000 Multi-channel Media Converter Chassis Installation Guide The AT-MCF2000M Management Module is an optional module. The media converter modules can forward network traffic without the presence of this module in the chassis. However, the management module is necessary if you want to adjust the parameter settings of a media converter module, monitor the performance of the modules, or create a stack of modules.
Chapter 1: Overview Each chassis has a chassis ID. By default, the management module is assigned a chassis ID of 0. For each stacking module, you must assign a chassis ID which is displayed on the front of the module. The permitted values of the chassis ID for stacking modules are from 1 to 30. For more information about the stacking module, see the ATMCF2000S Stacking Module Installation Guide.
AT-MCF2000 Multi-channel Media Converter Chassis Installation Guide Power Supply Module and Fan Module Slots The AT-MCF2000 chassis has two slots on the back panel for two power supplies or one power supply and one AT-MCF2KFAN fan module. The power requirements of the AT-MCF2000 chassis and the media converter modules can be met with a single power supply.
