FlexPointTM T1/E1 Copper to Fiber

Converters

User Instructions

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.

Power Adapter Notice

1.When Using in a stand-alone configuration, this product is intended to be and must be used only with a Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked “Class 2” and rated at 9VDC, 1 Amp.

2.This product should always be used only with Omnitron Supplied Power Unit model numbers 9113-PS or 9115-PS.

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.

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.

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

Coax E1 Connector

Attach the BNC to the FlexPoint T1/E1 converter and attach the other end of the BNC to the network equipment.

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

Switch Settings:

UTP DCE/DTE setting

The UTP DCE/DTE switch is used to eliminate the need for crossover and custom cables to connect devices together when using the RJ-45/48 port. Set this switch to DCE to use a straight-through cable and to DTE when a crossover-cable would be required.

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 the local unit is switched to a local loop-back mode. The fiber Tx port will be further encoded to carry a remote loop-back protocol. This remote loop-back will set the far end FlexPoint T1/E1 converter to remote loop-back mode and

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 features dry relay contacts for optionally connecting the it 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.
