User Guide iConverter® TM3 Transport Module
Quick Start

DESCRIPTION

This document describes the basic installation and configuration of the TM3 Transport module. The iConverter Modular T1/E1 Multiplexer transports up to sixteen T1/E1 circuits and 10/100/1000 Ethernet over a fiber transport link or CWDM channel. This flexible and scalable system is comprised of an iConverter TM3 transport module, and one or more iConverter 4xT1/E1 MUX modules installed in a 2, 5 or 19-module chassis. The TM3 supports IPv4 addressing, IP-Less protocol using the 802.3ah OAM channel, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, Telnet and serial console port.
See data sheet for available models.
DIP-Switches
DIP-Switch Bank 1  The functions of DIP-switch Bank 1 are outlined in below.

DIP-switch BANK 1 Definitions
SW1 – P1 Negotiation “AN/Man”
When this DIP-switch is in the Down “AN” position (factory default), the fiber optic port automatically determines the pause modes of the connecting fiber optic device. If the connecting fiber optic device cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own mode of operation, the DIP-switch should be set to the Up “Man” position. When Port 1 is set to the “Man” position, no capabilities are advertised.
Gigabit fiber always operate in Full-Duplex mode.
SW2, SW3, SW4 and SW5 – P2 Mode of Operation
DIP-switches SW2, SW3, SW4 and SW5 control the setting for P2

modes advertised: 1000F, 1000H, 100F, 100H, 10F,10H
AN| 1000| 100 or 10| HDX| Port is set to auto-negotiation with the following modes advertised: 1000H, 100F, 100H, 10F, 10H
AN| 100-10| 100| FDX| Port is set to auto-negotiation with the following modes advertised: 100F, 100H, 10F, 10H
AN| 100-10| 100| HDX| Port is set to auto-negotiation with the following modes advertised: 100H, 10F, 10H
AN| 100-10| 10| FDX| Port is set to auto-negotiation with the following modes advertised: 10F, 10H
AN| 100-10| 10| HDX| Port is set to auto-negotiation with the following modes advertised: 10H
Man| 100-10| 100| FDX| Port is set to manual negotiation and is forced to: 100F
Man| 100-10| 100| HDX| Port is set to manual negotiation and is forced to: 100H
Man| 100-10| 10| FDX| Port is set to manual negotiation and is forced to: 10F
Man| 100-10| 10| HDX| Port is set to manual negotiation and is forced to: 10H

RJ-45 Port – Mode of Operation
When SW2 is set to MAN and SW3 is set to 1000, the module is operating per the IEEE specification in Auto- Negotiation mode.
SW6, SW7, SW8 – Link Modes
These three DIP-switches configure the link mode settings. It is recommended to have link modes Down (default) during the initial installation. After the circuit has been tested and operational, configure the module for the desire mode.
For detailed information on the operation of the different Link Modes, download the application note “iConverter Link Modes”.

Detect (ALP P1 P2 + P1 RFD)

Link Modes
DIP-Switch Bank 2
The functions of DIP-switch Bank 2 are outlined below

DIP-switch Bank 2 Definitions
SW1, SW2 – Backplane Enable
When the DIP-switch is in the Down “DS” position (factory default), the Backplane Port of the module is isolated from the chassis’ Ethernet Backplane. When the DIP- switch is in the Up “EN” position, the Backplane Port is enabled. This allows Ethernet Backplane connectivity to an adjacent module via the chassis Backplane Link “A” or “B” depending on the switch setting.
SW3 – Master/Slave
When the module is installed in a chassis with an Network Management Module (NMM2), set the DIP-switch to the Down “M/SL” position (factory default). The assignment of mastership is automatically negotiated by the installed management modules. To designate the TM3 module as the master of the chassis, set the DIP-switch on the module to the Down “M/SL” position, and set the other installed management modules’ DIP-switches to the “SL” position to enable Slave-Only mode.
SW4 – Reserved
This DIP-switch is for factory use only and must always remain in the Down position (factory default).
Software Controlled Switch Settings
Additional settings are available via software control.
The following software settings can be controlled via Serial Console/Telnet Console, NetOutlook Management Software or other third-party SNMP-based clients:

• DIP-switch Configuration
• Port 1 and Port 2 Configuration
• Configurable Link Fault Propagation modes

The module can be configured by attaching the serial port to a DB-9 serial (RS-232) equipped computer with terminal emulation software such as ProComm or Putty. The Serial Console Port (DCE) is a mini DIN-6 female connector which can be changed to a DB-9 connector with the included adapter. Attach the ends of a serial cable to the serial port of the PC and the Serial Console Port of the module. The port is a standard RS-232 asynchronous serial interface with the following settings.

Bits Per Second ……………………….57,600
Stop Bits ………………………………1
Data Bits …………………………. 8
Parity …………………………   NONE
Hardware Flow Control ……………..NONE

Mounting and Cable Attachment

iConverter modules are hot-swappable and can be installed into any chassis in the iConverter family.
Caution: Use proper ESD protection to reduce the risk of damage to your equipment.
a. Carefully slide the module into an open slot in the Align the module with the installation guides and ensure that the module is firmly seated against the backplane. Secure the module by fastening the front panel thumbscrew (push in and turn clockwise to tighten) to the chassis front. Verify the “Pwr” LED is ON (indicating the chassis is powered).
b . The 4xT1/E1 MUX modules must be installed in adjacent slots to the TM3 Transport module. The slot numbers must be greater then the slot number of the TM3 Transport Up to four 4xT1/E1 MUX modules can be installed in adjacent slots.
c. When using a TM3 model with SFP ports, insert the SFP fiber transceivers into the SFP receptacles on the module.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP fiber transceiver must be in the closed (up) position before insertion.
d. Connect the appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the fiber port of the installed 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. When using single-fiber (SF) TM3 models, 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.
e. Connect the RJ-45 port via a Category 5 or better cable to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet device (depending on the configuration of the port).
