2.1.3 Installing the Media Converter Slide-in-Modules CAUTION: precautions when installing the media converter slide-in-module(s) into the chassis. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the media converter slide-in-module(s). NOTE: The media converter slide-in-modules can be installed in any installation slot, in any order.
2.2.4 Replacing the Media Converter Slide-in-Modules CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when replacing media converter slide-in-module(s). Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the media converter slide-in-module(s). NOTE: The media converter slide-in-modules can be hot-swapped. To replace a media converter slide-in-module: 1.
Management Modules Optional network management is provided by SNMP software embedded in Transition Networks PointSystem the CPSMC08xx-100 chassis. Transition Networks provides two such modules: • CPSMM-120 Single-Slot Master Management Module. • CPSMM-200 Dual-Slot Master Management Module. Along with an additional expansion module: •...
Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the management module. NOTE: Transition Networks recommends installing the management module into the left-most installation slots to keep the management cables separate from the media converter cables.
2.2.3 Replacing the Management Modules CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when replacing media converter slide-in-module(s). Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the management module(s). NOTE: The management modules can be replaced while the chassis remains powered.
Powering the CPSMC08xx-100 The CPSMC08xx-100 chassis can be powered through an AC or DC power supply. An optional auxiliary power supply, with instant fail over protection, is also available. NOTE: The CPSMC08xx-100 chassis does not have an ON/OFF switch. • Power up the chassis by connecting the power supply.
3.1.2 DC Power Supply • This product is intended to be used in a restricted access location. Proper earthing (grounding) is required to ensure safe operation. Grounding terminals are provided (section 4.1.3) for proper grounding of the device as per customer installation requirements and local electrical codes.
(Both and AC and a DC external power converter are available from Transition Networks.) Instant Fail Over Protection The CPSMC08xx-100 has instant fail over protection when both the primary and auxiliary power supplies are connected to external power sources.
3.2.2 DC Auxiliary Power Supply • This product is intended to be used in a restricted access location. Proper earthing (grounding) is required to ensure safe operation. Grounding terminals are provided (section 4.1.3) for proper grounding of the device as per customer installation requirements and local electrical codes.
CPSMC08xx-100 Chassis Installing the CPSMC08xx-100 Chassis The CPSMC08xx-100 can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack or on a table, shelf, or other stable surface. CAUTION: Install the chassis so that the air flow around it is not restricted. 4.1.1 Table-Top Installation The CPSMC08xx-100 chassis is shipped with nine (9) rubber feet for optional installation on a table or other flat, stable surface in a well-ventilated area.

To install the CPSMC08xx-100 chassis into a standard 19-inch rack: 1. Determine the preferred alignment of the chassis in the rack. NOTE: Installation bracket mounting screws are provided. Rack mount screws and clip nuts are NOT provided. 2. Locate six (6) installation bracket mounting screws (provided) for each chassis to be installed.
4.1.3 Grounding Lugs The CPSMC08xx-100 comes equipped with grounding lugs, which are provided for a grounding conductor wire terminated with a two-hole, compression-type, grounding connector. The grounding wire -- which must be a copper conductor -- is not included with the chassis and must be provided by the customer/installer. The electrical conducting path from the chassis must: •...
Cascade Option The management module cascade option allows the network administrator to connect up to eight (8) CPSMC08xx-100 chassis into one manageable stack, providing a single management source for up to 55 installed media converter devices. To create the cascade option, the CPSMM-200 Dual Slot Master Management Module is installed in the first chassis in the series.
Page 20
To cascade two or more CPSMC08xx-100 chassis: 1. Locate one (1) Transition Networks management module cascade cable (with RJ-45 connectors installed at both ends) (P/N 6026) for each set of two (2) chassis to be cascaded. NOTE: Transition Networks management module cascade cables are one (1) meter long.
Connecting the Slide-in-Modules to the Network Once the CPSMC08xx-100 chassis has been installed, the media converter slide-in- modules may be connected to the network. CAUTION: Connect input/output network cables ONLY to media converter slide- in-module connectors within the same network protocol (such as Ethernet-to- Ethernet, Fast Ethernet-to-Fast Ethernet, ATM-to-ATM).
CPSMC08xx-100 chassis from an attached terminal or from a remote, networked computer. The firmware includes the Transition Networks Command Line Interface (CLI), a telnet server, a Web browser, and an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent.

CPSMC08xx-100 chassis via a remote Network Management Station (NMS) in one of two ways: 1. Using the Transition Networks FocalPoint™ graphical user interface. 2. Using a remote Telnet connection. Use an RJ-45 network cable to attach a terminal (via a network hub or switch) to the RJ-45 Ethernet port on the management module as shown.
Troubleshooting 1. Are ANY of the POWER LEDs on any of the slide-in-modules illuminated; AND/OR are the fans operating? • The chassis is receiving power. Proceed to the next step. • Ensure all power supply cables for proper connection. • Ensure the AC receptacle on the wall is supplying power.

COAX Cable Coaxial cable media is used for circuits such as DS3, E1 and 10Base-2 Ethernet. The impedance of the coaxial cable is determined by the interface type, for example: • 75 ohm for DS3. • 50 ohm for 10Base-2 Ethernet. Special attention should be given to the grounding requirements of coaxial cable circuits.
