AT-CM212x/1 Series Converteon Line Cards

Installation Guide

Overview

The AT-CM212x/1 Series (AT-CM212A/1 or AT-CM212B/1) line cards are 100 Mbps

copper-to-fiber media converter line cards. You can install these line cards in any

Converteon Series chassis. The line card features one fiber optic port and one copper

twisted pair port. Both ports feature half- or full-duplex mode operation. The line cards are

hot-swappable into and out of a Converteon chassis.

Although they look identical, the AT-CM212A/1 or AT-CM212B/1 line cards differ in the

transmit and receive wavelength of their fiber optic port. The AT-CM212A/1 line card has

a transmit wavelength of 1310 nm and a receive wavelength of 1550 nm. The

AT-CM212B/1 line card has a transmit wavelength of 1550 nm and a receive wavelength

of 1310 nm.

The fiber optic port is IEEE 802.3ah-compliant and has a simplex SC connector with a

maximum operating distance of 15 kilometers (9.32 miles). The port has a fixed operating

speed of 100 Mbps.

Twisted Pair Port

The 10/100Base-TX compliant twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum

operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). Category 5 (5E), 100 Ohm shielded or

unshielded twisted pair cabling is required. The pinouts for this port are shown in

“Twisted Pair Port Pinouts.”

LEDs

An AT-CM212x/1 Series line card has four status LEDs, two LEDS for the fiber optic port,

and three LEDs for the twisted pair port, as described in “LED Descriptions.”

DIP Switches

Two sets of DIP switches allow you to set the operating mode and MDI/MDI-X features, as

described in “DIP Switch Settings.”

Installing an AT-CM212x/1 Series Line Card

Note

Before you install an AT-CM212x/1 Series line card, refer to the appropriate

Converteon chassis installation guide for electrical safety and emissions information.

Note

You can install a Converteon line card in any Converteon chassis line card slot.

To install an AT-CM212x/1 Series line card, perform the following procedure:

Series line card, and remove the blank slot cover if one is installed.

4. Align the back edge of the line card with the top and bottom alignment guides located

inside the slot.

5. Slide the line card into the slot until the front of the card is flush with the front of the

chassis.

Note

Avoid touching the line card components.

6. Secure the AT-CM212x/1 Series line card to the chassis by using a Phillips

screwdriver to tighten the captive screw on the faceplate.

Note

Always tighten the captive screw to secure the line card to the chassis.

7. Repeat this procedure to install additional line cards.
