MOUNTING AND CABLE ATTACHMENT:

iConverter modules are hot-swappable and can be installed into any chassis in the iConverter family.

1.Carefully slide the iConverter module into the installation slot, aligning the module with installation guides, and secure using the front panel fastener screw. NOTE: Ensure that module is firmly seated against the backplane.

2.Secure module by securing panel fastener screw (attached to module) to chassis front.

3.Attach the iConverter 10T/2 RJ45 connector via a category 5 cable to a 10Base-T Ethernet device.

4.Attach the iConverter 10T/2, via a coax cable to a 10BASE-2 Ethernet device.

5.If using the iConverter 10T/2 at the end of a coaxial network, set Coax Termination “T-IN” DIP-Switch to the “ON” position.

OVERVIEW:

The iConverter 10T/2 converter supports the IEEE

802.3standard and converts 10BASE-T cabling (UTP) to 10BASE-2 coax cabling. The iConverter supports Half-Duplex 10Mbps Ethernet and provides a crossover UTP switch for easy attachment to hubs, switches and workstations. It also features a termination switch for easy coax termination.

The 10T/2 can be used as a standard two-port UTP to fiber converter. It can also use its two additional 10/100 backplane Ethernet ports to connect to adjacent modules and accommodate flexible network configurations like In-Band management and multi- module configurations. The iConverter 19-Module, 5-Module or 2-Module Chassis have backplanes that facilitate connectivity between adjacent modules.

The 10T/2 can be used in an unmanaged or managed fashion. When unmanaged, it can be installed in a chassis without a Network Management Module (NMM). To be managed, a NMM module must be installed in the same chassis.

Due to the Ethernet 5-4-3 rule, no more than

4 iConverter 10T/2 modules can be

linked together via the backplane buses.

PORT STRUCTURE:

Fig. 1 depicts a chassis with three modules plugged into three of its adjacent backplane slots. The adjacent slots are connected to the “A” and “B” backplane links via the module’s “A” and “B” backplane Ethernet ports. In this example, the 10T/2 in the center slot connects

to the slot on its left using the “A” link and to the slot on its right using the “B” link.

In this example, the module on the left is an NMM and it connects via its “A” link to the 10T/2 facilitating In-Band management. The module on the right is an iConverter 10/100 module and it connects via its “B” link to the 10T/2 facilitating a 2-port 10/100 Ethernet hub/switch with a 10BASE-2 port and a fiber uplink. This 3-module configuration provides an effective 10BASE-2 to 10/100 managed switch with a fiber uplink.

Fig. 1 10T/2 Application Example

This example shows how the 10T/2 can be used either as a traditional managed or unmanaged media converter or to create flexible and effective network hub/switch configurations.

Coax Termination “T-IN” DIP-Switch:

When the Coax Termination “T-IN” DIP-Switch is in the “ON” position, the coax port is terminated. Use this DIP-Switch setting when this coax port is at the end of the network.

Backplane A Enable “A-EN” DIP-Switch:

When the Backplane A Enable “A-EN” DIP-Switch is in the “ON” position, the iConverter 10T/2 module’s “A” backplane Ethernet port is enabled. This port allows connectivity to adjacent modules and facilitates In-Band management of the Network Management Module (NMM). When the Backplane A Enable “A-EN”
