2.10 FIB1-Serial
The FIB1-Serial (formerly known as FIB1-485A) is a Datacom fiber media
converter that supports RS-232, RS-485 and RS-423 conversion to fiber media. Other
features include the ability to remove interface termination (go high-impedance), run
in TTL interface mode, and the ability to supply external +5VDC to the auxiliary
equipment.
The FIB1-Serial uses a 6 pin, in-line, terminal block with removable header.
Wires may be easily terminated at the header's screw posts without soldering. The
front panel has a 4 position DIP switch for setting the interface type and termination.
When the FIB1-Serial is placed in the FRM301 with SNMP, the settings are
controlled by the chassis management system and any DIP settings are ignored.
Additionally, when placed in the managed rack, the remotely linked FIB1-Serial unit
is also controlled and configured through the management system.
