Chapter 1 Installation This chapter describes how to install the stacking module.
Chapter 1: Installation Overview The AT-MCF2000S Module is a stacking module for the AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series. See Figure 1. AT-M C F200 0S STAC K1 LINK PORT ACT ACTIV ITY STAC K2 CHAS SIS ID 1264 Figure 1. AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module Features The stacking module contains the following features: 14 There are two RJ-45 Fast Ethernet connections on the front of the module. The port on the left is labeled STACK 1 and the port on the right is labeled STACK 2.
AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module Installation Guide An LED display shows the chassis ID of the stacking module. A set of DIP switches located on the top of the module permits you to set the chassis ID. For the stacking module, the range of chassis ID is from 1 to 30. Verifying the Package Contents Make sure the following items are included in your package. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Allied Telesis sales representative for assistance.
Chapter 1: Installation Reviewing Safety Guidelines Review the following safety guidelines affecting the host equipment before installing the module. Warning: Power cord is used as a disconnection device. To de-energize equipment, disconnect the power cord. E3 Pluggable Equipment. The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. E5 Caution: Air vents must not be blocked and must have free access to the room ambient air for cooling.
AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module Installation Guide Installing the AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module This section provides a description of how to install the stacking module. Before you begin to install the module in the chassis, review the following information: For information and guidelines on the stacking feature of the AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series, refer to the AT-MCF2000M Management Module Installation Guide and the AT-S85 and AT-S97 Management Software Command Line Interface User’s Guide.
Chapter 1: Installation To install the AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module, perform the following procedure: 1. Remove the module from the shipping package. Note Store the packaging material in a safe location. You must use the original shipping material if you need to return the unit to Allied Telesis. 2. Remove the blank panel from the management slot on the chassis by loosening the two captive screws on the panel with a cross-head screwdriver. See Figure 2.
AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module Installation Guide Note Do not remove the blank panel from the chassis until you are ready to install a module. An open slot allows dust to enter the unit and hinders the ability of the chassis to maintain proper airflow and cooling. 3. Remove the tape from the DIP switch. 4. Set the chassis ID of the stacking module. Use the tip of a ballpoint pen to change the setting of the DIP switch. See Figure 3 on page 20. The chassis ID can be from 1 through 30.

AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module Installation Guide If this is the last chassis in the stack, you can connect the stacking cable to either port. For cabling guidelines, see the next section. Cabling a Media Converter Stack To create a stack of media converters, you daisy-chain the units with the Stack ports. The Stack port on the AT-MCF2000M Management Module must be connected to the STACK 1 or STACK 2 port on the AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module in the next chassis.

Chapter 1: Installation 3. If this is the last chassis in the stack without a redundant management module, connect the stacking cable to either STACK 1 or STACK 2 port. For more cabling guidelines, see the AT-MCF2000 Multi-channel Media Converter Chassis Installation Guide. Note If this is the initial installation of the chassis, see the AT-MCF2000 Multi-channel Media Converter Chassis Installation Guide for instructions on how to install the remaining modules in the chassis.
AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module Installation Guide AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module LED The AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module has two ports labeled STACK 1 and STACK 2. See Figure 1 on page 14. Each Stack port has one LED labeled L/A for Link/Activity. The states of the LED are defined in Table 1. Table 1. LED State Description Off The port has not established a link with a port on another stacking module. Steady green The port has established a link with a port on another stacking module.
Chapter 1: Installation Removing the AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module To remove the AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module, perform the following procedure: 1. Remove all cables from ports on the module. 2. Using a cross-head screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws that secure the module to the chassis. 3. Slide the module from the chassis. Caution The AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module is sensitive to and can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module Installation Guide Troubleshooting If the STACK ports on the module are unable to establish a link, try the following: Verify the module is fully seated in the management slot in the AT-MCF2000 Chassis. Verify the chassis is powered on and operating properly. Verify you are using Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant Category 5 or TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5E) shielded or unshielded cabling. Verify the cables are firmly secured to the port.
