S.CON1M TX/FX Managed Converter

1 – Overview

A media-converter may be defined as a device connecting two active network

components point-to-point over a media that is different from the ports of at least one

of these devices.

While Media Converters are considered part of the cable plant, in many cases they

must be remotely managed as any other network device. In particular this is true in

mission-critical, fully managed networks as well as in networks dispersed over large

areas to allow efficient control and maintenance. The S.CON1M is the only SNMP

managed single channel Media Converter available in the market.

While vendors offer such feature for large chassis based systems only, the need for

management is more intense in single channel devices, being deployed away from the

main wiring closets. Out-of-band management assures independence of the control

channel for enhanced system reliability.

SFS (Single-Fiber-Strand) versions of the S.CON1M make it a superb choice for

suitable installations saving 50% of the entire cable plant

An ideal media-converter should be a transparent element in the network, and its

ports may be considered as integral parts of the devices interconnected by it.

The IEE802.3u standard defines network span in terms of distances and bit times.

Conventional 100Base-TX/100Base-FX media-converters are based on repeater

technology, and they form a part of the collision domain created by the interconnected

devices. Therefore, the delay they introduce in the network severely affects the

allowed distances. Furthermore, if two class II repeaters (i.e., 2 hubs) are already

present in the same collision domain, then the use of a conventional converter is not

allowed as the repeater count may - in such case - exceed the limits. In all other

cases, meticulous PDV (Path Delay Value) must be performed prior to establishing the

possible distances for both the fiber optic (F/O) and copper segments.

The S.CON1M implements a non-repeater, full re-timing design. It creates a Buffered

Media Domain (BMD) over the F/O link, thereby eliminating all the above-mentioned

limitations.

The BMD created by two S.CON1M devices always operates at maximum

performance - 100Mbps/Full Duplex - while interconnected devices may operate at

different rates and modes. This provides full flexibility when planning a network.

The S.CON1M supports the Far End Fault (FEF) feature.

Far End Fault occurs when the signal detection is logically false from the receive

(incoming path) fiber port. When the S.CON1 detects a F/O Link Loss condition, the

unit will automatically send a Far End Fault signal to the remote device (on it outgoing

path). The remote device should support the same FEF feature and it will indicate a

Link Loss as well. (Refer to section 8 for more details).

The S.CON1M supports a bidirectional Fault Propagation mechanism (F>T and T>F).

When the S.CON1M senses a loss of F/O Link, it will automatically cut its TP port link.

If the S.CON1M is connected to a Master Unit, which does support Fault Propagation,

the latter will sense the loss of the F/O link and it will deliberately cut its TP port.

If the S.CON1M TP link fails, it will automatically cuts its F/O link. Thus the fault

propagates both from fiber to TP port and from TP to the fiber port.

The FP is enabled/disabled by means of the DIP switch S5.

The F>T and T>F selections are under control of the SNMP management module

(Refer to section 12 for a detailed description).

TFTP for software upgrade downloading and Telnet are also supported.

2 – Planning your network with S.CON1M

This section will guide you through network planning in order to obtain maximum

benefit - in terms of performance and functionality - from the S.CON1M converter and

other network devices. For specific instructions regarding the setup of each device,

consult section 10 - “DIP switches configuration”.

Possible network architectures are depicted in the following drawings

A. Typical basic configurations

Any networking device may connect to the copper port of the S.CON1M converters:

switches (of any type), hubs of any type (including 10Base-T!) or workstations (10 or

100Mbps).

While copper segments distances (between the device and the S.CON1M and

between such device and another device) reach their maximum at 100m/330ft, the F/O

segment (multi-mode fiber) may be extended to 2000m (6500ft) and much more over

single-mode fiber. (Up to 150Km). Single Fiber Strand (15-20 Km) can be deployed

saving 50 % of the cabling plant.

As an S.CON1M device is only slightly more expensive (if at all) than a plain 100Base-

FX transceiver (and certainly less expensive than an integrated 100Base-FX up-link

module in any of the interconnected devices), it is highly recommended to use any of

these configurations: extra benefits are obtained at little or no additional cost!

In certain configurations, additional benefits are obtained due to the implementation of

the BMD (Buffered Media Domain)

When the F/O link connects two hubs, S.CON1M not only converts media but also

splits the network into two segments, which reduces loads and collisions.

B. Typical Industrial Managed Network

The above network can be monitored and managed from any SNMP management

station running popular management platforms (e.g. FibroLAN MetroView, HP

OpenView, SNMPc, etc)

The software upgrade for each S.CON1M device can be performed via the

CLI management or Telnet (from the SNMP management station)

General Description

All S.CON1M models have identical functionality and performance. Therefore, any

description or feature of one model refers to all other types.

The RJ-45 port operates in Auto-Negotiation mode: It may operate in 100Base-TX or

10Base-T and in both FDX and HDX modes, depending on the type of device to which

it is connected.

The TP port is a shielded RJ-45 port, cat.5, and 100m. The port can operate as an

MDI-II or MDI-X port depending on the MDI-II /MDI-X selector

The S.CON1M is equipped with an MDI-II/MDI-X selector on the front panel to allow

connection of either a switch/hub or a station, allowing the deployment of either a

straight or cross-twisted pair cable.

The F/O port supports 100Base-FX transmission in both FDX and HDX modes.

The conversion process creates a BMD, allowing unprecedented functionality and

performance. The F/O port is setup by default to operate at 100Mbps FDX

S.CON1M TX/FX Managed Converter

For optimized set-up, the S.CON1M l is equipped with an array of 7 positions DIP

switches accessible from the front panel.

The device provides extensive diagnostics and a status display with 7 high visibility

LEDs for the S.CON1M device.

Power Supply (including –48 models):

The system is equipped with a powerful power supply (100 - 240V universal input

or –48VDC), which in case of failure may be removed and replaced, without removing

the system from the rack. This minimizes Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) to 3 minutes.

A front panel LED indicates the power status.

Management:

The S.CON1M includes on its front panel in addition to the above-mentioned

indicators and controls a “management area”. This area includes all necessary

interfaces to set-up the SNMP agent of the device (RS232 Console port and two LEDs

RCV and Ready).

The software upgrade for each S.CON1M device can be performed via the

CLI management or Telnet (from the SNMP management station)

Refer to the Management section (section 16).

CAUTION

Radiation emitted from a fiber optic

connector may be hazardous to human

vision. Therefore, the following rules

must be strictly observed

All single-mode (SM) models are

CLASS I LASER PRODUCTS

And must be handled with special care

When not in use, keep the fiber optic

connector closed using its protective

cover.

Never stare directly into the fiber optic

connector of a powered device or into

the end of a fiber connected to it.
