iConverter 2-Module Power Chassis User Manual 1. 0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The iConverter 2-Module Power Chassis is powered by a single internal universal AC or DC power supply and can accommodate up to two iConverter media converters. It is ideal for enterprise Local Area Network (LAN) or Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) applications where remote management and explicit demarcation between the service provider’s equipment and customer’s equipment is required. Fig.
1.2 Terms Backplane A printed circuit board which is permanently mounted inside the chassis and is populated with receptacle connectors into which modules are inserted. Module An iConverter plug-in card positioned into a slot location and inserted into a backplane connector. Module-Guide A mechanical channel guiding module insertion into a backplane connector. Slot A single chassis position consisting of a backplane connector and its associated module-guides.
Slot 1 Connector A Backplane Link Slot 2 Connector Fig. 2 2-Module Backplane Architecture 1.5 Application Examples 1.5.1 In-Band Managed 10/100 Converter Application Fig 3. Depicts a typical in-band managed fiber to UTP conversion at a Customer’s Premises (CP) or at a remote network edge. In-band management is a desirable feature in these applications since it facilitates remote monitoring, configuration and trap notification from the chassis.
1.5.2 Out-of-Band Managed 4-Port Switch Application Fig 4. Depicts a typical managed switch application. This application uses a 4TxVT 4-Port 10/100 switch module and an iConverter Network Management Module (NMM) for management. Both modules are plugged into the 2-Module chassis. The 4TxVT features four front-plane 10/100BASE-T UTP Ethernet ports and two 10/100Mbps Ethernet backplane ports (A and B Ports). The NMM features a 10BASE-T front-plane port and a 10Mbps Ethernet backplane A Port.
3.0 SITE PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION 3.1 AC Powered Chassis Site Preparation Power source should be available within 5 ft. of the chassis and installed per the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70. This equipment requires a 100-240VAC, 0.5Amp, 50/60Hz power outlet. Appropriate overloading protection should be provided on the AC power source outlets utilized. The standard operating temperature of this equipment is 0 to 50 degrees C.
WARNING REGARDING EARTHING GROUND: o This equipment shall be connected to the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the DC supply system earthing electrode is connected.
3.4 DC Powered Chassis Mounting Locate the DC circuit breaker of the external power source, and switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position. Prepare a power cable using a three conductor insulated wire (not supplied) with a 14 AWG gauge minimum. Cut the power cable to the length required. Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable wires. Connect the power cables to the iConverter Chassis by fastening the stripped ends to the DC power connector.
