Introduction

This professional grade, managed media converter chassis solution enables LAN

workgroups and network users to be connected by a fibre path to remote switches,

routers and servers etc. The Ethernet circuits passing through the chassis are fully

managed and enable the network manager to have a high degree of control over the

system.

Link defects and other circuit problems are promptly reported to enable the network

manager to manage and control the network to a much higher level than using basic

un-managed media converters.

The distant end optical devices can be any 100Base-FX or Gigabit Ethernet media

converter or LAN switch/router port. These remote devices cannot controlled or

configured by this SNMP managed chassis product.

Meeting all the relevant standards for 10Mbit/s, 100Mbit/s and Gigabit Ethernet,

installation is ‘plug-and-play’ and requires no technical knowledge.

The hot-swappable managed media converters cards support ST, MT-RJ and SC

single and multimode fibre formats.

With support for hot-swappable management card, dual-redundant and hot-swappable

AC and DC power packs, this managed chassis system delivers a very robust solution

for critical applications.

Management Methods

The Tyco SNMP managed media converter chassis supports the following

management methods:

n Console Management

n Telnet Management

n Web-based Management

n SNMP Network Management

Console Management

The chassis can be managed by the RS-232 Console Port on the Management Card

using a terminal emulation or other program on a PC. A range of simple text based

menus guides the user through the configuration process. See page 15.

Telnet Management

The chassis can be remotely managed over the network using a standard Telnet client

that is available in most PCs and workstations. Telnet can be used to log in and control

the chassis configuration. The same format menus as used in the Console

Management are displayed. Note that the Telnet session remains active until the

session is closed at the client.

Web Based Management

The chassis can be managed using a standard web browser that supports Java

applets. This interface has the same functionality as the console/Telnet interfaces but

is more user-friendly. The chassis can be managed from anywhere on the network

through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. See page 30.

SNMP Network Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and

control a network device, and to manage configurations, statistic collection,

performance and security.

Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and software processes

reporting activity in each network device to the workstation console used to oversee

the network. The agent returns information contained in a MIB (Management

Information Base), which is a data structure that defines the device and what can be

controlled.

Tyco SNMP Managed Media Converters Page 10

Hardware Description

The Tyco SNMP Managed Converter Chassis is a modular unit that contains 16

converter slots and 2 power slots. The chassis is provided with a plug-in management

card. The RS-232 port is used for local management and the Ethernet RJ-45

connector is for In-band management via Telnet, SNMP or web browser. Both these

physical interfaces are on the front panel of the management card.

Front & Rear Panel

The front panel of the SNMP Managed Converter Chassis is shown below fully

populated with the Management card in the far left hand slot and then 16 plug-in fibre

Installation

Pre-Installation Requirements

Before you start hardware installation, make sure your installation environment has

following items:

• Standard PC with 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface

• S/UTP LAN cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

• Fibre cables with the required connector formats (SC/ST/MT-RJ connectors)

• A dedicated AC power source at 100 to 240V AC at 50/60 Hz or 48v DC power.

Ensure that the chassis power is accessible and power cables can be connected

easily.

• A dry cool location. Keep the chassis away from moisture and avoid direct sunlight,

sources of heat and high amount of electromagnetic interference.

• Small cross-head screw driver to remove the chassis blanking panels

• Large screw driver to mount the chassis in a rack.

Cautions:

• All cabling must be routed away from sources of electrical noise such as radio,

computers, transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines etc.

• Airflow around the chassis and through its vents on the rear must not be restricted.

DC Power Supply Connections

The optional 48v DC plug-in power unit (Model Number 0-1591506-0) can be fitted into

the chassis. Remove the fan unit from the chassis unit and carefully insert the DC

power unit into the chassis. Secure the power unit with screws. The DC power supply

has a set of screw terminals on the rear of the power unit. Secure the supply leads to

these screw terminals using spade style connections.

• Connect the 0v or negative of the DC supply to the screw marked GND

• Connect the +48v or positive of the DC supply to the screw marked VIN

Ensure that the input DC supply is floating with respect to chassis to avoid ground

loops.

Tyco SNMP Managed Media Converters Page 12

Desktop Installation

Set the chassis on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby, and near

the centre of all networked devices. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the

chassis is grease and dust free. Remove the adhesive backing from the supplied

rubber feet.

Figure 5 – Fitting Rubber Feet

Apply the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the chassis. These footpads can

prevent the chassis from shock/vibrations.

Caution: Do not place objects on top of the chassis unit or obstruct the side vents.

Rack-mounted Installation

The SNMP Managed converter chassis is supplied with a rack-mounted kit and can be

mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack. The chassis can be placed in a wiring

closet with other equipment.

Perform the following steps to rack mount the chassis:

• Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the chassis and

secure it with the smaller bracket screws.

• Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the chassis.

Figure 6 – Fitted Rack Mounted Ears

0-1591500-x ©Tyco Electronics 2004 Issue 1.2

Tyco SNMP Managed Media Converters Page 13

After attaching both mounting brackets, position the chassis in the rack by lining up the

holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the chassis to the

rack with the rack-mounting screws.

Figure 7 – Fitting Chassis into a rack

[Note] For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on the

front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the chassis. This is especially important

for enclosed rack installation.

Applying Power

After all network cables are connected, apply AC or DC power as required to the

SNMP managed chassis. Turn the power on using the power switch on the back panel.

Check the front panel power indicator LEDs on the Management Card to verify that

power is properly supplied. See page 15 for details.

Simple Diagnostic Test

After the installation is completed and the power is applied to the chassis, the system

will automatically perform a diagnostic test.

After boot-up, the CPU Ready LED indicator on the Management Card will toggle on

and off every 3~5 seconds if media converter cards are installed in the chassis.
