- EN61000-X - Electromagnetic Immunity - EN60950 (IEC950) - Product Safety MiLAN Technology warrants to the original consumer or purchaser that each of it's products, and all components thereof, will be free from defects in material and/or workmanship for a period of five years from the original factory shipment date.
Introduction The Raven Series Gigabit Fiber Advanced Media & Rate Converters are standalone units that can be used alone or in a 10-slot rackmount chassis to connect networks with 10/100/1000Base-TX or 1000Base-T and 1000BASE-FX cabling. These advanced media & rate converters extend the cabling distance of 10/100/1000Base-TX (Auto MDI/MDIX) or pure 1000Base-T networks up to 550m for multi-mode fiber or 10 kilometers for single-mode fiber.
Features Converter conforms to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x, IEEE 802.3ab 1000BaseT, IEEE 802.3z 1000BaseSX/LX standards. Convert between UTP cabling and Fiber-optic cabling. One RJ-45 connector, Auto-MDI/MDIX for UTP port. Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Auto-negotiation for UTP port. Fiber cabling connectivity up to 10Km. Uses store-and-forward switching to separate two collision domains.

Hardware Description Front Panel The Front Panel of the Raven Series Gigabit Fiber Converter consists of one Gigabit Fiber port, one RJ-45 Port (Auto MDI/MDIX), and 6 LED Indicators (SPD, LK/ACT, FDX/COL, Fiber LK/ACT, FDX/COL, and PWR). (1) RJ-45 Port (2) LED Figure 2-1.
LED Indicators There are 6 diagnostic LEDs located on the front panel of each converter module. They provide a real-time indication of systematic operation status. The following table provides descriptions of the LED statuses and meaning. LK/ACT (UTP) LK/ACT (Fiber) FDX/COL (UTP) FDX/COL (Fiber) Table 2-1.
DIP-Switches The DIP-switches are used to configure operation mode for LLF (Link Loss Forwarding) and operation mode for the UTP and Fiber ports. The default value of each DIP-switch is OFF. S/W No Status Table 2-2. Gigabit Fiber Converter DIP-Switch statuses and meaning LinkSentry: Enabling LinkSentry allows UTP link failures to be reported to the fiber side or Fiber link failures to be reported to the UTP side.
Rear Panel The rear panel of the converter contains a power socket. This power socket accepts DC9V voltage and minimum 0.7A supplied current. DC IN Figure 2-3. Gigabit Fiber Converter Rear Panel...
Installation Converter Module A. Remove the blank bracket by rotating thumbscrew counterclockwise. Do not discard the blank bracket. B. Open the rackmount ear kit. Each kit contains two rackmount ear pieces (with thumbscrews) and four screws. C. Attach one rackmount ear on each side of the converter using a screwdriver.
Rackmount Chassis A. Insert the modular converter module into the guides of the conversion system chassis by sliding it smoothly until it stops. Press firmly until the power plug in the chassis plugs into the modular converter module receptacle. Figure 3-2. Installing Gigabit Fiber Converter into Chassis Gently push the thumbscrews in and turn clockwise to tighten.
Cabling Use four twisted-pair, Category 5 cabling for RJ-45 port connections. The cable between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long. Fiber segments using single-mode connector type connections must use 8/125 or 9/125 um single-mode fiber cable.
Troubleshooting This section is intended to help solve some common problems encountered while using the Raven Series Gigabit Fiber Advanced Media & Rate Converter products. Verify that the correct power adapter (DC 9V, 0.7A) is in use. Power adapters with DC output higher than 9V will seriously damage the converter modules.
