Installing a Media Converter Module Overview The PowerBlade Media Converters are designed to extend the distance of your network by interconnecting LAN devices that are physically separated by large distances. There are several different PowerBlade modules that you can “mix and match” in a chassis. The media converter modules come in a variety of port configurations, connectors types, and operating distances.
PowerBlade PBC18 Installation Guide Common Features The following is a list of features common to most PowerBlade Media Converter modules: ❑ LEDs for unit and port status ❑ MDI/MDI-X feature that eliminates the need for a crossover cable (except for the AT-PB1000 Series) ❑ Link Test feature performs a link test on the module’s port ❑ MissingLink™ notifies end-nodes of link failures ❑ Half-duplex or full-duplex operation MDI/MDI-X An RJ-45 port on a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet network device can have one
Installing a Media Converter Module Table 2 lists the pinouts of the RJ-45 ports for both MDI and MDI-X wiring configurations. Table 2 RJ-45 Pinout MDI Link Test/ MissingLink MDI-X Pin Signal Pin Signal 1 TD + 1 RD+ 2 TD- 2 RD- 3 RD+ 3 TD+ 6 RD- 6 TD- 4, 5, 7, 8 N/A 4, 5, 7, 8 N/A The Link Test/MissingLink (LT/ML) button or switch, depending on your module, allows you to perform a link test on the media converter ports and to activate the MissingLink feature on the unit.
PowerBlade PBC18 Installation Guide MissingLink The MissingLink feature enables the 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 end-node, the media converter shuts down the connection to the other port, thus notifying the end-node that the connection has been lost.
Installing a Media Converter Module Half-duplex and Full-duplex Mode Duplex mode refers to the way an end-node sends and receives data on the network. An end-node that is operating in half-duplex mode can either send data or receive data, but it cannot do both at the same time. An end-node that is operating in full-duplex mode can send and receive data simultaneously.
PowerBlade PBC18 Installation Guide Network Topologies The PowerBlade Media Converters can be used in two different topologies: standalone and back-to-back. Both types of topologies are described below. Standalone Topology A standalone topology is when one media converter is used to interconnected two end-nodes. Figure 19 illustrates a standalone topology that uses one AT-PB1001/1 module to interconnect two remote campuses.
Installing a Media Converter Module Back-to-back Topology A back-to-back topology is when two media converters are used to interconnect the end-nodes. Figure 20 illustrates a back-to-back topology that uses an AT-PB1001/4 and an AT-MC1001 media converter to connect two remote campuses. Campus 1 has an AT-8224XL switch with an AT-A15/SX expansion module connected to the 1000Base-SX port on the AT-PB1001/4. The 1000Base-LX port on the AT-PB1001/4 is connected to the 1000Base-LX port on the AT-MC1001.
PowerBlade PBC18 Installation Guide AT-PB10 Series Modules The AT-PB10 Series Media Converters feature the following modules: ❑ AT-PB13 ❑ AT-PB14 ❑ AT-PB15 The AT-PB13 and AT-PB14 media converters have a 10Base-T twisted pair port and a 10Base-F fiber optic port. The twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The fiber optic port has an ST or SC connector and a maximum operating distance of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles).

PowerBlade PBC18 Installation Guide BNC Termination Switch (AT-PB15 only) The BNC Termination switch on the AT-PB15 offers 50 Ω termination without the use of a T-connector and 50 Ω barrel terminator. Only endpoint nodes need 50 Ω termination. Internal nodes on a thinnet segment should be connected to the cable through standard 10Base2 T-connectors. Figure 22 shows the location of the BNC Termination switch on the AT-PB15.
Installing a Media Converter Module J5 Jumper (AT-PB15 only) The AT-PB15 module features a J5 jumper. There are two possible jumper settings: Enable and Disabled. If the chassis does not contain an AT-PBM02 management module, set the J5 jumper to the Enable (RIGHT) position. If the chassis contains an AT-PBM02 management module, set the J5 jumper to the Disabled (LEFT) position. Disabled is the factory default setting.
