c.Connect to the RJ-45/48 connector on the iConverter T1/E1 converter via a Category 3 or better cable (Category 5 is recommended), and attach the other end to the network equipment.

d.Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the fiber port of the installed module. It is important to ensure that the transmit (TX) is attached to the receive side of the device at the other end and the receive (RX) is attached to the transmit side. Single-fiber (SF) media converter models operate in pairs. The TX wavelength must match the RX wavelength at the other end and the RX wavelength must match the TX wavelength at the other end.

CABLE SPECIFICATIONS:

	UTP Cable for T1 and E1
Gauge		22 to 24 AWG
Impedance		100 ohms +/- 10%
Impedance Characteristic		2.6dB/100M @ 1Mhz
Maximum Distance		T1 6,000 ft E1 8,000 ft

3) VERIFY OPERATION

Once the module has been installed and configured per steps 1 and 2, verify the module is operational by viewing the LED indicators.

The Power LED indicates the module is receiving power.

The Fiber Optic link LED indicates the fiber optic connection has been established. The UTP LED indicates a T1/E1 signal has been detected.

If the Fiber Optic LED is blinking, the port is receiving an all 1s signal. This will occur if the UTP port is not connected.

iConverter® T1/E1 Standalone Module USER MANUAL

The iConverter T1/E1 media converter provides standard T1 (1.544Mbps) or E1 (2.048Mbps) copper to fiber conversion and can be used to extend the demarcation point between service provider and networking equipment. T1/E1 media converters operate in pairs, extending distances over fiber, which improves noise immunity, quality of service, intrusion protection and

network security.

The T1/E1 supports Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, enabling adaptability to different fiber types, distances and wavelengths, providing maximum flexibility across a variety of network architectures and topologies.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1)Configure DIP-Switches

2)Install Standalone Module and Connect Cables

3)Verify Operation

1)CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES FRONT PANEL DIP-SWITCHES

SW1 - LOCAL DUAL LOOP-BACK “LOOP”

When this DIP-switch is set to the “Loop” position, it sets the iConverter T1/E1 converter to a dual loop-back mode (see Figure

B)on both the fiber and copper connections. By returning the DIP- switch to the “Norm” position, the unit resumes normal operation.

SW2 - FIBER OPTIC TEST “FOT”

This DIP-switch will allow the entire fiber segment to be tested at either of the iConverter T1/E1 converters without having to set DIP-switches on both units. When this DIP-switch is set to “FOT”, the local unit (the unit with the DIP-switch in the “FOT” position) is switched into local loop-

back mode. In addition to the local loop-back mode of operation, the fiber TX port is further encoded to carry a remote loop-back protocol. This remote loop-back protocol sets the remote unit at the other end of the fiber link to a remote loop-back mode of operation and returns a signal to the local unit (see Figure C). A fast blinking “Tst” LED on the local unit and a slow blinking “Tst” LED on the remote unit shows confirmation that the fiber segment is communicating properly between devices. By returning the DIP-switch to the “Norm” position, the units resumes normal operation.
