MOXA CSM-400 Series 100BaseFX Slide-In Management Module Converter
Overview
Introduction
The CSM-400 Series is an Ethernet to optical-fiber media converter and is part
of the NRack System. It provides Ethernet media conversion from 10/100
BaseT(X)-to-100 BaseFX (SC or ST connectors), and it can be installed in every
chassis of the NRack System.
The CSM-400 Series includes the following models:
- CSM-400-1213: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in management module converter, multimode ST connector
- CSM-400-1214: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in management module converter, multimode SC connector
- CSM-400-1218: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in management module converter, single-mode SC connector
- CSM-400-1224: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in management module converter, WDM-A single-mode SC connector
- CSM-400-1225: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in management module converter, WDM-B single-mode SC connector
Installation
The CSM-400 media converter slide-in module can be hot-swapped, which means the chassis does not need to be powered off or removed during installation. Align the slide-in module with the chassis installation slot so that the panel fastener screw is at the top of the module and carefully slide the slide-in module into the slot while aligning the module’s circuit board with the installation guide.
Ensure that the slide-in module is firmly seated inside the chassis. Push in and rotate the attached panel fastener screw clockwise to secure the module to the chassis.
Why Convert Ethernet to Fiber?
Fiber communication not only extends the communication distance, but also provides many advantageous features.
-
IMMUNITY FROM ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE:
Fiber is not affected by electromagnetic interference or radio frequency interference. It provides a clean communication path and is immune to cross- talk. -
INSULATION:
Optical fiber is an insulator; the glass fiber eliminates the need for using electric currents as the communication medium. -
SECURITY:
Fiber cannot be tapped by conventional electric means and is very difficult to tap into optically. Furthermore, radio and satellite communication signals can be captured easily for decoding. -
RELIABILITY & MAINTENANCE:
Fiber is immune to adverse temperature and moisture conditions, does not corrode or lose its signal, and is not affected by short circuits, power surges, or static electricity.
Features
- LFP(Link Fault Pass-through)
- Supports store-and-forward and pass-through modes
- Auto negotiation for copper port
- Supports IEEE 802.3AH OAM protocol

NOTE
When you enable the LFP function of the CSM-400 series of media converters to
use on the TRC-2190, you must choose the CSM-200/400 product for use at a
remote site to make sure the LFP function can successfully use this function.

Communication Connections
The CSM-400 Series has one 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet port, and one 100BaseFX (SC or ST type connector) fiber port.
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports located on CSM-400 are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.
Below, we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X (HUB/Switch- type) ports, and also show cable-wiring diagrams for straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables.
10/100BaseT(X) RJ45 Pinouts
6 TxRJ45 (8-pin) to RJ45 (8-pin) Straight-Through Cable Wiring
RJ45 (8-pin) to RJ45 (8-pin) Crossover Cable Wiring
100BaseFX Fiber Port Connection
The concept behind the fiber port and cable is quite straightforward.
Suppose you are connecting devices I and II. Contrary to electrical signals,
optical signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data.
Consequently, one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I
to device II, and the other optical line is used transmit data from device II
to device I, for full-duplex transmission.
All you need to remember is to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit) port of device II.
If you are making your own cable, we suggest labeling the two sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown below, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

LED Indicators
There are two LEDs on the front bracket of the CSM-400 slide-in modules.
| LED | Color | State | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| PWR | Green | On | Power is being supplied to power input. |
| Off | Power is not being supplied to power |
input.
Fault| Red| On| LED is on and the CSM-400 is booting up, or a power error
condition exists
Blinking| Indicates and IP conflict, or the DHCP
server did not respond properly
Off| LED is off and the CSM-400 is functioning normally; a power error
condition does not exist
Fiber Link| Green| On| FX port’s 100 Mbps is active.
Blinking| Data is being transmitted at 100 Mbps.
Off| 100BaseFX port is inactive.
10M (TP)| Yellow| On| TP port’s 10 Mbps is active.
Blinking| Data is being transmitted at 10 Mbps.
Off| TP port’s 10 Mbps link is inactive.
100M (TP)| Green| On| TP port’s 100 Mbps is active.
Blinking| Data is being transmitted at 100 Mbps.
Off| TP Port’s 100 Mbps is inactive.
Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the Moxa CSM400’s 10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without needing to determine the type of Ethernet cable being used for the connection.
This means that you can use either a straight-through cable or crossover cable to connect the CSM-400 Series to Ethernet devices.
Dual Speed Functionality and Switching
The Moxa CSM-400’s 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port auto negotiates with the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate supported by both devices. All models of the CSM-400 Series are plugand-play devices, so that software configuration is not required at installation, or during maintenance. The half/full duplex mode for the RJ45 Ethernet ports is user dependent and changes (by autonegotiation) to full or half duplex, depending on which transmission speed is supported by the attached device.
Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing
All of the CSM-400’s RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support autonegotiation for 10BaseT and 100BaseTX transmission speeds, with operation according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.
This means that some nodes could be operating at 10 Mbps, while at the same time other nodes are operating at 100 Mbps.
Auto-negotiation takes place when an RJ45 cable connection is made, and then each time a LINK is enabled. Moxa’s CSM-400 advertises its capability for using either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps transmission speeds, with the device at the other end of the cable expected to advertise similarly. Depending on what type of device is connected, this will result in agreement to operate at a speed of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
If a Moxa CSM-400 RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a nonnegotiating device, it will default to 10 Mbps speed and half-duplex mode, as required by the IEEE 802.3u standard.
