Local loop-back and Remote loop-back

When both Local and Remote Loop-back are set to the Normal position, the FlexPoint T1/E1 uses the default B8ZS data format. When both switches are turned to their On position, it uses the AMI data format.

Transmit/force 1’s to fiber

This switch is used to insert an “all ones” pattern into the data stream being transmitted out of the fiber port on the FlexPoint T1/E1 converter. Data being received on the coax

or twisted pair will be disabled and data being received on the fiber is passed through to the coax or twisted pair side. By returning the switch to the normal position the unit will resume to normal operation.

Transmit/force 1’s to Coax or UTP

This switch is used to insert an “all ones” pattern into the data stream being transmitted out of the coax or twisted pair on the FlexPoint T1/E1 converter. Data being received on the fiber will be disabled and data being received on the coax or twisted pair is passed through to the fiber side. By returning the switch to the normal position the unit will resume to normal operation.

Alarm Relay Contacts

The FlexPoint T1/E1 converter also features dry relay contacts for optionally connecting the media converter into a separate T1/E1 alarm circuit. The relay closes when a loss of power or when signal detect is lost to the copper or fiber connection.

Description:

The FlexPoint T1/E1 connects T1 and E1 devices, such as PBXs, CSUs and routers, via multimode (MM) or single-mode (SM) fiber. Designed to extend the standard T1/E1 twisted pair or Coax network distances over fiber, this converter provides protection from environmental noise and effectively increases high-speed network reliability. The following models are described here.

WARNING!

Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify that the power on the unit is appropriate for your AC line voltage source.

Mounting instructions:

The FlexPoint Fiber Converter can be solo-mounted using

awall-mounting kit, or rack-mounted using a 5-unit shelf, or a high-density FlexPoint 14-Unit Power-Redundant Chassis.

Fiber Optic Cable Attachment:

Connect the fiber cables between the FlexPoint T1/E1 converters. The transmit (Tx) must attach to the receive side and the receive (Rx) must attach to the transmit side.

Note: Use fiber cables that are compliant with the specifications that are outlined in fiber cable specifications.

Copper Cable Attachment:

RJ-45/RJ-48 T1/E1 connector

Connect to the RJ-45/48 connector on the FlexPoint T1/ E1 converter via a category 3 or better cable (Category 5 is recomended) and attach the other end to the network equipment. (The twisted pair connection requires two active pairs in a T1/E1 environment. The active pairs are pins 1&2 and pins 4&5. Only dedicated wire pairs should be used for the active pins.) Set the UTP DCE / DTE switch for the RJ-45/48 port to the appropriate setting.

Local loop-back (L/LB)

This switch will set the FlexPoint T1/E1 converter in a loop-back mode on both the fiber and copper connections. By returning the switch to the normal position the unit will resume to normal operation.

Loopback Enabled

Remote loop-back (R+L/LB)

This switch will allow the entire fiber segment to be tested at either of the FlexPoint T1/E1 converters without having to set switches on both units. When set in this mode of operation the local unit is switched in a local loop-back mode. And in addition to the local loop-back mode of operation the fiber Tx port will be further encoded to carry

aremote loop-back protocol. This remote loop-back protocol will set the far end FlexPoint T1/E1 converter to remote loop-back mode of operation and return a signal to the sending unit. An LED on the local and remote FlexPoint T1/E1 converters will show a confirmation that the fiber segment is communicating properly between devices. By returning the switch to the normal position it will resume to normal operation.
