AT-MC1001 Series Installation Guide MissingLink. The MissingLink feature enables the fiber optic ports on the media converter to pass the “Link” status of their connections to each other. When the media converter detects a problem with one of the ports, such as the loss of connection to a node, the media converter shuts down the connection to the other port, thus notifying the node that the connection has been lost.
Link Test Standalone/Back to Back Button The Link Test Standalone/Back to Back button (see Figure 2) is used together with the Link Test/MissingLink switch. When performing a link test on the media converter, use this switch to configure the unit to match the topology in which you installed the media converter. The two possible network topologies for the media converter, standalone and back to back, are described in the section “Network Topologies” on page 8.
AT-MC1001 Series Installation Guide External AC/DC Power Adapter The media converter comes with an external AC-to-DC power adapter (see Figure 4). The power adapter supplies 12 volts DC to the media converter. Allied Telesyn supplies an approved safety compliant AC power adapter for the 120 and 240 V AC versions with an unregulated output of 12 V DC at 1 A. The power required for the media converter is 12 V DC, 500 mA.
Network Topologies Standalone Topology A standalone topology refers to when there is only one media converter between the end nodes. Figure 5, for example, illustrates a standalone topology that uses two AT-MC1001 Series Media Converter to interconnect three remote campuses. Campus 1 has an AT-8224XL switch with two AT-A15/LX expansion modules. The modules, which provide a connection of up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), are connected to the 1000Base-LX ports on the media converter.
AT-MC1001 Series Installation Guide Back to Back Topology In some network configurations you may want to interconnect two media converters in what is referred to as a back to back topology (see Figure 6). In this topology, the AT-MC1001 Series Media Converters not only extend the distance of your network but also convert the fiber optic cable from multimode to single-mode and back again. The figure shows one AT-8224XL switch with an AT-A15/SX expansion module at each campus.
Installing the Media Converter The following sections explain how to install the media converter. The media converter can be installed on a table or in an AT-MCR12 chassis. Planning the Installation Be sure to observe the following guidelines when planning the installation of your media converter. ❑ The nodes connected to the media converter must operate at 1000 Mbps. ❑ The two nodes connected to the ports of the media converter must operate with the same duplex mode, either half- or full-duplex.
AT-MC1001 Series Installation Guide Note Many factors contribute to the ability of a fiber optic data link to transfer data efficiently. When the data rate across a fiber optic datalink reaches gigabit rates, the factors that had very minor effect at 10Base and 100Base on the ability to recover the transmitted optical data now carry a major influence. The designed/tuned optical bandwidth is a key factor.
Reviewing Safety Guidelines Please review the following safety guidelines before you begin to install the media converter. Warning Class 1 laser device. ! 6 Warning Do not stare into the laser beam. ! 7 Warning Electric Shock Hazard: To prevent electric shock, do not remove the cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. The unit contains hazardous voltages and should only be opened by a trained and qualified technician.
AT-MC1001 Series Installation Guide Installing the Media Converter The following procedure explains how to install the media converter in your network. If you are building a back to back installation, please review the following guidelines. See Figure 6 for an example of a back to back topology. ❑ During installation, setup, and testing of back to back media converters, make sure each media converters Link Test/MissingLink switch is in the LNK TST (UP) position.
6. Plug the AC/DC power adapter into an appropriate AC power outlet and insert the power plug into the DC receptacle located on the back of the unit. (This step does not apply if you installed the unit in an AT-MCR12 chassis.) 12 V D C Figure 7 12 V DC Connector on the Back of the Media Converter 7. Verify that the PWR LED is green. 8. Remove the dust covers from the fiber optic connectors. 9. Connect the fiber optic cables to the fiber optic ports on the media converter. 10.
AT-MC1001 Series Installation Guide Testing and Troubleshooting the Media Converter This procedure explains how to test and troubleshoot the media converter by performing a link test. A link test will determine whether each port on the media converter is successfully receiving a signal from the node connected to it. You should perform this test immediately after you have installed the media converter or whenever you are experiencing a problem with the unit. To perform a link test, perform these steps: 1.
7. If the two LNK LEDs are green but there is a communication problem between the nodes connected to the media converter (and you are not running a link test), do the following: — Verify that the nodes connected to the ports are operating at 1000 Mbps. — Verify that the nodes connected to the media converter are operating in the same duplex mode. The media converter is transparent to the duplex mode. — Verify that the Link Test/MissingLink switch on the media converter is in the M/L ON (DOWN) position.
