S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication.
FibroLAN directly. Note unless where indicated otherwise, in this guide, S.CON1 applies also to S.CON1/T, SCON1-48, S.CON1/SMR7, S.CON1/SMR, S.CON1/SM, S.CON1/SML/L2/L3/LX, , S.CON1/SMRF13, S.CON1/SMRF15...
F/O link and it will deliberately cut its TP port. If the S.CON1 TP port link fails, the FP will cut the F/O link port (Refer to section 12 for a detailed description).
(Up to150Km). Single Fiber Strand (15-20 Km) models can be deployed saving 50 % of the cabling plant. As an S.CON1 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...

S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter Typical Network Configuration This network can be monitored and controlled (if the remote attached devices are S.CON1M units) from any SNMP management station running popular management platforms (e.g. FibroLAN MetroView, HP OpenView, SNMPc, etc)
S.CON1/SMXF15 connector, single-mode – 80Km, SFS, 1550nm Tx / DFB/1310nm Rx CTF-RM 19" Rack shelf for installation of up to 3 S.CON1 devices Wall mount kit for S.CON1 device SCH-WM DC (-36 to -72 V) Power supply (instead of AC power supply) for single channel PS48 and other half rack sized devices.
Desktop, shelf or wall mounts installation. • ETR: Extended Temperature Range ) option for all S.CON1 (-10°÷+70°C models • ETRX: Extended Temperature Range (-25° ÷+70°C ) option for all S.CON1 models • Optional -48VDC Power Supply for all S.CON1 models (PS48)
MDI-II or MDI-X port depending on the MDI-II /MDI-X selector The S.CON1 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 use of either a straight or cross-twisted pair cable.
FDX - full duplex operation 100M - twisted pair is working at 100Mbps (when the LED is off, the speed is 10Mbps) 4. SC fiber optic connector (left/Tx & right/Rx); ST connector (S.CON1/T model) 5. Fiber optic port LED indicators...
Attach the single channel wall mount kit (SCH – WM part # B161) with two (supplied) screws to the base of the S.CON1 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.
FibroLAN CBPS-48V cable (B151), insert all-way-in the D-type DC connector and secure the D-Shell to the DC Inlet of the S.CON1 device using the two captive screws. Connect the cable 3 leads to the DC Power Outlet, ensuring...
– the indication for such fault can be seen on the remote device only. The FEF implemented in the S.CON1 closes this gap: if there is a fault in the outgoing path and the remote device is FEF compliant, then the F/O LINK LED will go OFF on both the local and remote devices.
S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter Far End Fault (FEF) and the SD (Signal Detect) The combination of the FEF feature and the SD LED ( SD =Signal Detect which implies data signal present during receive mode ) provides a powerful and efficient troubleshooting tool to easily identify a failed fiber connection within a F/O link.
Rx of your device complies with the wavelength of the Tx of the remote device. In case of deploying a link comprising of 2 such S.CON1 units it means that one should be S.CON1/SMRF13 and the other S.CON1/SMRF15.
SM= Single Mode; SFS= Single Fiber Strand 10 ─ Twisted Pair cabling connection The S.CON1 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.
S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter 11 ─ DIP switches setting Each S.CON1 unit is equipped with an array of 7 DIP switches that facilitate the proper setting of the TP and F/O ports for optimal operation. Each port may have different settings.
The Link Test mode is for diagnostic purposes. The Link Test in the S.CON1 unit is enabled through the DIP switch S5 (UP position) disabling the FP mechanism. In this mode each of the link segments (typically 3: TP, F/O, TP) provides separate and true indication of its integrity therefore the defective link can be identified and consequently repaired.
S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter 13 ─ FP and FEF in action When the Converter B senses a F/O Link failure on its Rx line, it transmits a FEF signal to Converter A and since the FO>TP Fault Propagation is enabled via DIP switch S5, it will also cut its TP port link.
S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter 14 ─ Troubleshooting Note: Reset the device (S6) and disable momentarily the FP (S5 Down) prior to performing the following procedures. Problem Indication Corrective Action Check that the power supply cable is firmly No power...
Make sure to provide the following information: • Date and place of purchase, from whom, original invoice • The Serial Number and Firmware revision of the S.CON1 device • The serial number of the Master Unit (MetroStar™ and the type of the installed modules •...
In such case you provide to FibroLAN the serial number of the device, date purchased, full details of reseller from whom the device was purchase and a copy of an invoice or another proof of the purchase.
