T1/E1 User Manual T1 Fiber Media Converter

DESCRIPTION

The FlexPoint T1/E1 media converter provides standard T1 (1.544Mbps) or E1 (2.048Mbps) copper to fiber conversion. T1/E1 media converters operate in pairs, providing distance extension over fiber.
Designed as a transparent repeater, the FlexPoint T1/E1 supports standard T1, E1 and Primary Rate Interface (PRI), voice or data. The converter also supports AMI, B8ZS and HDB3 line codes.
See data sheet for supported models.

POWER ADAPTER NOTICE

When used in a stand-alone configuration, this product should always be used with its enclosed Power Adapter.
WARNING
Before plugging the Power Adapter to any wall outlet or AC power source, verify that the power on the unit is appropriate for your AC line voltage source.

SWITCH SETTINGS

T1/E1 Copper Line Configuration DIP-switches The T1/E1 copper line codes and line lengths are configured using dip switches located on the side of the FlexPoint T1/E1 media converter.

DCE/DTE Slide Switch
When connecting the RJ-45/48 port to a demarcation or headend equipment, set the switch DCE (straight through).
When connecting the port to far end equipment, set the switch to DCE (crossover). Use a straight through cable at both ends of the connection.
Front Panel DIP-switches 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. 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 transmit a remote loop-back signal to the far end converter. This remote loop-back signal will set the far end converter to remote loop-back mode and return a signal to the sending unit. An LED on the local and remote 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 return to normal operation. 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 (FO/1s)
This switch is used to insert an “all ones” pattern into the data stream being transmitted out of the fiber port. 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 (UTP/1s)
This switch is used to insert an “all ones” pattern into the data stream being transmitted out of the coax or twisted pair port. 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.

MOUNTING

The FlexPoint T1/E1 can be DIN-rail mounted using the DIN-rail mounting bracket (8250), wall-mounted using a wall mounting kit (4380), rack-mounted using a 5-Module shelf (4392) or inserted in a 14-Module FlexPoint Powered Chassis.
To power the module using the AC power adapter, connect the barrel connector at the end of the wire on the power adapter to the barrel connector on the module. Connect the power adapter to the AC outlet. Confirm that the module has powered up properly by checking the Power LED.
Attach the fiber cables to the FlexPoint T1/E1 ST or SC connectors. The FlexPoint transmit (Tx) must attach to the receive side on the device at the far end of the fiber and the receive (Rx) must attach to the transmit side.
RJ-45/RJ-48 T1/E1 connector
Connect to the RJ-45/48 connector on the module via a Category 3 or better cable (Category 5 is recommended), and attach the other end to the network equipment. (Active Pairs are Pins 1, 2 and 4, 5).

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

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.
To utilize the alarm relay contacts, connect a two conductor insulated wire (not supplied) to pins 3 and 6 on the RJ-48 connector. Connect the other ends of the cable to the alarm detection device. See specification below for the maximum voltage ratings supported by the alarm relay.
