CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview The MC1000-SFP-FP is a Gigabit Ethernet-to-Fiber media converter. It can convert transmissions between 10/100/1000 Base-X UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) copper media and 1000 Base-X SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable, also known as mini-GBIC) fiber media. In the next example (G is the Gigabit Ethernet link and F is the fiber link), the MC1000-SFPFP functions as a high-speed bridge between switches connecting workgroups in branch offices for instance.
Chapter 1 Introduction For example, if LFS is disabled and one side of a link fails (down arrow), the other segments will keep on transmitting packets (up arrows) and wait for responses that will never arrive. Figure 3 No Link-Fault Signaling With LFS enabled, a link down detected on the Ethernet port will force a link down on the fiber port and vice-versa. The up link will stop transmitting and turn off as soon as the remote link is down. Figure 4 With Link-Fault Signaling 1.1.
CHAPTER 2 Fiber-optic Connection 2.1 Overview To make the MC1000-SFP-FP fiber-optic connection you need to: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 Open the MC1000-SFP-FP Disable DIP switch 1 (LFS) Install an SFP transceiver Attach the wire mounts Insert a fiber-optic cable through a bushing and wrap it around the wire mounts Connect the fiber-optic cable to the SFP transceiver Enable DIP switch 1 (LFS) Only qualified technicians should perform these actions! Please skip this chapter if you are not a qualified technician. 2.
Chapter 2 Fiber-optic Connection Figure 6 Open The Cover 2.3 DIP Switch 1 The MC1000-SFP-FP supports Link-Fault Signaling (LFS). LFS monitors both copper and fiber segments and informs other segments if one segment goes down (the LFS LED also lights). See Section 1.1.1 on page 13 for more information on LFS. Use DIP switch 1 to enable or disable Link-Fault Signaling (LFS). The DIP switches are located on the printed circuit board inside the MC1000-SFP-FP. " Only DIP switch 1 has functionality.
Chapter 2 Fiber-optic Connection • Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace transceivers. • SFP transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), it is recommended you attach an ESD preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface when you install or remove a SFP transceiver. • SFP transceivers are dust sensitive.
Chapter 2 Fiber-optic Connection " SFP transceiver installation orientation varies depending on your device. Your SFP transceiver comes with a mechanism that prevents incorrect insertion. Do NOT force or twist the SFP transceiver into a slot. 6 Lock the transceiver into place (if your transceiver has a locking mechanism). Figure 9 Lock Transceiver " See the transceiver User’s Guide for more information. 2.5 Install Fiber-optic Cable Follow these procedures to install the fiber-optic cable. 2.5.
Chapter 2 Fiber-optic Connection Figure 10 Attach Wire Mounts. 2.5.2 Insert Fiber-optic Cable The MC1000-SFP-FP has holes (labelled A in the following figure) through which you may insert fiber-optic cable. 1 Insert a bushing into a hole through which you will insert the fiber-optic cable. The bushing sheathes the cable, holds it in place and covers the hole. 2 Create a hole in the bushing and thread the fiber-optic cable through it. 3 Insert bushings into the remaining vacant holes to cover them.
Chapter 2 Fiber-optic Connection Figure 12 Insert Cable 2.6 Close the MC1000-SFP-FP After you have disabled DIP switch 1 (LFS), installed the SFP transceiver, attached the wire mounts, threaded fiber-optic cable though a bushing, wrapped excessive fiber-optic cable around the wire mounts, inserted the fiber-optic cable into the SFP transceiver and enabled DIP switch 1 (LFS) again, you should close the housing cover and secure it with the same screws you removed as shown in Section 2.2 on page 15.
Chapter 2 Fiber-optic Connection 2.7 Replacing An SFP Transceiver To replace an SFP transceiver, first remove the original one and then insert a new one as documented previously. 2.7.1 Procedure To Remove An SFP Transceiver 1 Attach an ESD preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis. 2 Disconnect the fiber-optic cable from the SFP transceiver. Figure 15 Remove Fiber-optic Cable 3 Insert the dust plug into the port on the SFP transceiver.

CHAPTER 3 Deploying the MC1000-SFP-FP 3.1 Overview In this chapter we show you how to: • • • • Make the LAN connection Make the power connection and turn the MC1000-SFP-FP on Use the LEDs to check correct operation of the MC1000-SFP-FP Mount the MC1000-SFP-FP on a wall. The MC1000-SFP-FP can also be placed on a desktop. Make sure that there is proper MC1000-SFP-FP dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the device. Do not place heavy objects on the MC1000-SFP-FP. 3.
Chapter 3 Deploying the MC1000-SFP-FP " Be careful not to damage the fiber optic cables if you have already connected them to the SFP transceiver. To turn the MC1000-SFP-FP on, connect the external power supply to a power outlet. Figure 19 Power Connection 3.4 Front Panel LEDs The MC1000-SFP-FP LEDs are on the top. Look at them to quickly check the status of the MC1000-SFP-FP.
Chapter 3 Deploying the MC1000-SFP-FP Figure 20 MC1000-SFP-FP LEDs Table 1 Front Panel LEDs LED COLOR STATUS DESCRIPTION PWR Green Off The MC1000-SFP-FP is turned off. On The MC1000-SFP-FP is turned on. Off Fiber-optic and Ethernet links to the MC1000-SFP-FP are operating normally. On There is a disruption or break in the fiber-optic or Ethernet link to the MC1000-SFP-FP. Off The SFP transceiver is not connected to a fiber-optic link or the link is down.
Chapter 3 Deploying the MC1000-SFP-FP 1 Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall when drilling holes for the screws. 3 Do not insert the screws all the way into the wall. Leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm between the heads of the screws and the wall. 4 Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to the wall. They need to hold the weight of the MC1000-SFP-FP with the connection cables. 5 Align the holes on the back of the MC1000-SFP-FP with the screws on the wall.
