AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series Installation Guide Channel Operating Modes The media converter channels support these operating modes: ❒ Link Test mode ❒ MissingLink mode ❒ Smart MissingLink mode The operating modes of the channels are set with the Mode button on the front panel of the module explained in “Mode Button” on page 51, or with the optional management module.
Chapter 3: AT-MCF2012LC, AT-MCF2012LC/1 and AT-MCF2032SP Modules When the link is reestablished on a port of a channel, the MissingLink mode automatically reactivates the transmitter on the companion port so that the two network devices can again forward traffic to each other through the two ports of the media converter channel.
AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series Installation Guide diagnose the problem. Rather, you should use the Link Test or the Smart MissingLink modes to troubleshoot a link problem. Smart MissingLink Mode The Smart MissingLink mode, the third operating mode of the media converter channels, is nearly identical to the MissingLink mode. It, too, enables the ports of a channel to pass the “Link” status of their connections to each other so that both ports reflect the same link status.
Chapter 3: AT-MCF2012LC, AT-MCF2012LC/1 and AT-MCF2032SP Modules Guidelines to Using the Channel Operating Modes 40 Here are the guidelines to using the channel operating modes: ❒ The channels on a module can be set to different operating modes. ❒ The operating modes do not block or interfere with the flow of traffic between the two ports of a channel during normal network operations.
AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series Installation Guide Port and Channel LEDs The LEDs on a media converter module reflect packet activity, link status, duplex mode and collisions of the ports, as well as the operating modes of the channels. “A” Activity LED The Activity (A) LEDs blink whenever the ports are transmitting or receiving network packets. The Activity LEDs for the twisted pair ports are located in the upper right corners of the upper ports and the bottom right corners of the lower ports.

Chapter 5 AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module This chapter describes the optional AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module.
Chapter 5: AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module Overview If you want to be able to manage all of the AT-MCF2000 and AT-MCF2300 Chassis in your network, you could install the AT-MCF2000M Management Module in each chassis. However, with this approach you would have to manage the devices separately and if you wanted to remotely manage the units, you would have to assign each management module a unique IP address.
AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series Installation Guide Topology The topology of a management stack is a daisy-chain. At one end of the chain is the chassis with the AT-MCF2000M Management Module. The Stack port on the management module is connected to one of the Stack ports on the AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module in the next chassis, which in turn is connected to the next chassis, and so on. Redundant connections or loops are not supported. Figure 35 illustrates a stack of four media converter chassis.
Chapter 5: AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module Maximum Number of Media Converter Modules in a Stack The maximum size of a stack is based on the number of media converter modules and not on the number of enclosures. The maximum number of media converter modules a stack can have is sixteen. When building a stack, count the total number of media converter slots in the units.
AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series Installation Guide Cabling the Stack Ports Table 20 contains the specifications for the cable for the Stack ports on the management and stacking modules. Table 20. Cable Requirements for the Stack Ports Maximum Operating Distance Cable Type Standard straight-through or crossover TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance.
Chapter 5: AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module To connect two stacking modules, connect either of the Stack ports in one chassis to either of the Stack ports in the next chassis. All combinations are supported.
AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series Installation Guide Chassis ID Numbers To be a member of a stack, a chassis must have a unique chassis ID number in the range of 0 to 31.

Appendix C Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors The fiber optic connector consists of a fiber optic plug and its adapter. The end of the fiber optic cable is held in the core of the ferrule in the plug. Light signals are transmitted through the core of the fiber. Even minor smudges or dirt on the end face of the fiber, completely invisible to the naked eye, can disrupt light transmission and lead to failure of the component or of the entire system.
Appendix C: Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors Using a Cartridge-Type Cleaner PUSH OPEN Di re c A PEng TAWipi tion Fiber optic cartridge cleaners are available from many vendors and are typically called “cartridge cleaners,” as shown in Figure 105. Figure 105. Cartridge Cleaner Note Do not use compressed air or aerosol air to clean a fiber optic connector. Warning: Do not stare into the laser beam.
AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series Installation Guide Figure 106. Rubbing the Ferrule Tip on the Cleaning Surface Note Rub the ferrule tip on the cleaning surface in one direction only. 3. When you reach the end of the cleaning surface, pick up the ferrule tip, rotate and place it at the top and rub downwards at least 2 times. Caution Failing to pick up the ferrule tip when you reach the bottom of the cleaning surface can result in static electricity that can damage the fiber optic cable. 4.
Appendix C: Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors Using a Swab Specially treated swabs (stick cleaners) are available for cleaning inside connector adapters or hard-to-reach ferrule tips. These swabs, often referred to as “lint free” or “alcohol free” swabs, are available from many vendors, as shown in Figure 107. Stick cleaners are available in both 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm sizes for use on SC and MU connectors respectively. Note NEVER use a household cotton swab and/or alcohol to clean a fiber optic connector.
AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series Installation Guide 2. If desired, repeat step 1. 3. If a fiber inspection scope is available, use the scope to inspect the connector to make sure that it is clean and to check for scratches, pits, or other problems that may affect performance. Note Always keep a dust cap on a fiber optic cable when it is not in use. Note Do not touch the end face of the ferrule in the connector.
