introduction Thank you for purchasing this INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™ Media Converter. The models listed below vary in the type and number of ports, connectors, data transfer rates and added features, but all are designed so network managers can install fiber cabling anywhere within a network without changing the arrangement of copper-based Ethernet.
FCC Warning This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and radiates radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the user manual, may cause interference, which the user will be required to correct at his own expense.
DIP Switches The DIP (dual in-line package) switches on the rear panel of some models enable a variety of functions that are printed in a convenient reference key alongside the switches. NOTE: A DIP switch reference list is also listed in the product’s Specifications. In the example at right (model 515344), DIP switches 6 and 7 enable the Local Loopback (LLB) and Remote Loopback (RLB) diagnostic functions (see Loopback Testing).
2. Click “Start.” 3. The program will send a testing message looped in the copper segment and display a pass/fail result. Remote Loopback Use a remote loopback (at the remote unit, set the designated DIP switch to On; at the local unit, keep both loopback Dip switches Off/disabled) to check that the fiber segment is connected properly. Launch a loopback or diagnostics testing program (see NOTE below) and follow the program instructions. Typically, the instructions will be similar to the following: 1.
support Spanning Tree or Fast Spanning Tree protocols. By default, transmission of data will travel via the primary path. If a link failure is detected, transmission will automatically be switched to the secondary path by Spanning Tree Protocol, delivering non-stop network connectivity. LEDs Front panel LEDs provide at-a-glance network status and real-time connectivity information. NOTE: The PWR (power) LED is located on the rear panel on some models.
Connections & installation Ports As mentioned in the Introduction, the type of media converter ports will vary from model to model. Refer to each model’s Specifications at the back of this manual to identify a port, and see below for explanations of their various uses and limits. Auto MDI/MDI-X Though not a port per se, the Auto MDI/MDI-X function on a converter’s RJ-45 port alleviates concerns about cabling configuration when connecting to a 1000Base-T device.
full duplex mode across distances of up to 2 km over multi-mode fiberoptic cable. The fiber port has a choice of three fiber connector types: ST, SC or WDM. 100Base-TX Port The 100Base-TX port supports network speed of 100 Mbps, and can operate in half and full duplex transfer modes. The RJ-45 connector is suitable for UTP cable Category 3, 4, 5 or better. 1000Base-LX Port The 1000Base-LX port adds a fiber Gigabit Ethernet link to your network device. Compliant with IEEE 802.
Cables Connecting Fiber Cable When connecting fiber cable to a 1000Base-FX port on the converter, be sure an SC or WDM connector is used. (Other INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS Media Converter models may need cable that matches their ST ports.) Follow the steps below to properly connect fiber cable. 1. Remove and keep the fiber port’s rubber cover. When not connected to a fiber cable, the rubber cover should be replaced to protect the optics . inside the device. 2.
• • • the cable for UTP; and 100x the diameter of the cable for fiber. mm Avoid letting the cable twist too much to 24 prevent excessive strain on internal cables. Place cable ties at regular intervals, being careful not to overtighten them. Avoid 6 mm using ties with fiber cable. Don’t stretch cable, especially around corners, in vertical cable trays and when spanning long distances.
performance. Consider these guidelines when deciding where to place the device. • Place the converter in a fairly cool and dry location. (See Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.) • Place the converter in a location free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust and direct exposure to sunlight. • Place the converter in a location with easy access to AC power.
Switch — Converter — Converter — Switch In the configuration below, the converters function as a high-speed bridge between switches, creating increased capacity for each user (node) on the local area network and providing a 1000 Mbps full duplex link to a variety of Gigabit Ethernet network devices within a LAN.
In the configuration below, redundant link converters function as a server aggregation for an enterprise or LAN configuration, providing a 10/100/1000 Mbps full duplex link to a workgroup of 10/100/1000 switches located on separate floors within a single building. Switch — Converter — Converter — Workstation In this configuration, the converters function as a high-speed dedicated link within a campus network configuration, providing a 1000 Mbps full duplex link to a remote network node.
