    FibroLAN directly. Note: unless where indicated otherwise, in this guide S.CON1M applies also to S.CON1M/T, S.CON1M/SMR7, S.CON1M/SMR, S.CON1M/SM, S.CON1M/SML/L2/L3/LX, S.CON1M/SMF1, S.CON1M/SMRF13, and S.CON1M/SMRF15.
  • Page 4: Overview

    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.

    (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...
  • Page 6 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)

    The S.CON1M family products are offered in several pre-configured models as depicted in the table below. Each of S.CON1M units can be also equipped with an internal DC Power Supply (PS48, -36 – 72 VDC), instead of the standard AC P.S.
  • Page 8: Key Features

    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.
  • Page 9 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.

  • Page 11: Installation Procedures

    Attach the single channel wall mount kit (SCH – WM part # B161) with two (supplied) screws to the base of the S.CON1M unit (select any 2 adjacent nuts: 1+2 or 3+4 or1+3 or 2+4) to achieve the desired mode of mounting. The screws to be fixed on the wall should not protrude more than 8mm.
  • Page 12: Power Connection

    Connect to AC line socket at the rear of the converter, using the included power cord. The S.CON1M will accept and automatically switch between any line voltage from 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. There is no ON/OFF switch on the device. When the power is connected to the device, the device is ON.
  • Page 13: Far End Fault (Fef) Feature

    The FEF implemented in the S.CON1M closes this gap: if there is a fault in the outgoing path and the remote device is FEF compliant (see below) then the F/O LINK LED will go OFF on both the local and remote devices.
  • Page 14 S.CON1M TX/FX Managed Converter FEF feature with the SD ( Signal Detect ) LED By means of the FEF feature along with the SD ( Signal Detect ) LED , we may determine which fiber line connection is faulty within the F/O Link ( if one of the two F/O lines is disrupted ).

    S.CON1M TX/FX Managed Converter 9 – Fiber Optic Connection The S.CON1M is equipped with 1 pair of SC-type connector or single SC connector for SFS (Single –Fiber – Strand) models Do not remove the protective covers on the fiber connectors until you are ready to connect the fiber optic cables.

    S.CON1M TX/FX Managed Converter 11 – DIP switches setting Each S.CON1M unit is equipped with an array of DIP switches that facilitate the proper setting of the TP and F/O ports for optimal operation. Each port may have different settings.
  • Page 17: Fault Propagation (Fp)

    The fault propagation is bi-directional, (F >T, and/or T >F). When S.CON1M senses loss of its UTP link, it deliberately cuts its F/O link (T > F) and if the F/O link is disrupted, the SCON1M will cut its UTP link (F > T).
