  • Page 5: Overview

    S.CON1M/MA System 1 - Overview The S.CON1M/MA is a System device acting as a Master Unit (normally located on the Access Node or Network Center) to control remote devices. While Media Converters are considered part of the cable plant, in many cases they must be remotely managed as any other network device.
  • Page 6 > FO), selectable through DIP switches (front panel) or via the management system. When activated (FO > TP) if the S.CON1M/MA senses a loss of F/O Link, it will automatically cut its TP port link. If TP > FO is enable, it will cut the F/O link in case that the TP port link is disrupted.
  • Page 7 S.CON1M/MA System Private Industrial Managed Network The SNMP Management module installed in the S.CON1M/MA System will monitor, control and manage the remote MA devices. It will report alerts and traps to the SNMP Manager located in the Headquarters building. On the other hand, the remote F.CON1 cannot be managed.

    The S.CON1M/MA family products are offered in several pre-configured models as depicted in the table below. Each of S.CON1M/MA units can be also equipped with an internal DC Power Supply (PS48, -36 – 72 VDC), instead of the standard AC P.S.
  • Page 9: Key Features

    The conversion process creates a BMD, allowing unprecedented functionality and performance. The F/O port is setup by default to operate at 100Mbps FDX For optimized set-up, the S.CON1M/MA is equipped with an array of 7 DIP switches accessible from the front panel.
  • Page 10 You can monitor/control the S.CON1M/MA media converter and the remote MA device using SNMP management station. Ensure that the DIP switch S7 is in UP position (Disable VLAN). If the SNMP station is connected directly to S.CON1M/MA TP port, set S7 to Down (VLAN enable) position.

    Attach the single channel wall mount kit (SCH – WM part # B161) with two (supplied) screws to the base of the S.CON1M/MA 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 13: Power Connection

    Connect to AC line socket at the rear of the converter, using the included power cord. The S.CON1M/MA 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.

    S.CON1M/MA System 9 - Fiber Optic Connection The S.CON1M/MA 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.

    10 - Twisted Pair Cable Connection The S.CON1M/MA provides one shielded RJ-45 connector to interface to the twisted pair link. The port operates in Auto –negotiation mode and according to the position of the MDI-II / MDI-X selector switch located on the front panel Use a shielded Cable Type 5 or higher grade, up to 100m (330ft) long.
  • Page 17: Dip Switches Setting

    S.CON1M/MA System 11 – DIP Switches Setting Each S.CON1M/MA 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. A wrong setting will not necessarily result in a channel malfunction, but rather in non- optimal operation (for instance - HDX operation instead of FDX).

    F/O link). If such device does not have a FP feature (or it is disabled) then no problem – the network will behave according to the setting of the S.CON1M/MA (F>>T enabled) without of risk of hanging. If the remote device is equipped with a FP mechanism make sure that it is NOT bi-directional, otherwise you risk hanging as explained above.
  • Page 20 Again it must be emphasized that this extensive set of features is obtained only if MA enabled devices are installed at both ends of the link. The LINK TEST mode: it is possible to enable the Link Test in the S.CON1M/MA unit Through DIP switches S4 and S5 (see chapter 11) or through management commands disabling the FP mechanisms.
