Product outlook

Overview

Left View
The Front Panel of the Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter consists of one 1000Base-SX / 1000Base-LX / mini-GBIC SFP / 1000Base-LX WDM ports and one Auto-Sensing 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 Port, one DIP switch for LFP ON/OFF. Figure 4 & 5 & 6 shows a front panel of Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter.

Rear View
The rear panel of the Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter indicates one DC jack, which accepts input power with 5V DC 2A.

Note
The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should be active all the time, please consider using a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime.
In some areas, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the converter or the power adapter.

link Fault Pass through (lFP)

The LFP function includes the Link Fault Pass Through function (LLCF/LLR) and the DIP Switch design. LLCF/LLR can immediately alert administrators about problems with the link media and provide an efficient solution to monitor the net. The
DIP Switch can disable or enable the LFP function.
With LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward), when a device connected to the converter loses the TP line link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmit. With LLR (Link Loss Return), when a device connected to the converter and loses the fiber line link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmit.
Both can immediately alert administrators about link media problems and provide an efficient solution to monitor the net.

Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF)
The FCU-280x incorporates an LLCF function for troubleshooting a remote connection. When LFP function is enabled, the FL/TP ports do not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with a good link status using the FCU-280x for remote connectivity.

If the connection breaks, the FCU-280x link loss forwards to the switch/hub that generates a trap to the management station. The administrator can then determine the source of the issue.

*Units are shipped with the LFP function enabled (ON).

Link Loss Return (LLR)
The fiber ports of the FCU-280x have been designed with an LLR function for troubleshooting a remote connection. LLR works in conjunction with LLCF.
When LFP function is enabled *(by default), the port’s transmitter shuts down when its receiver fails to detect a valid receive link. LLR should only be enabled on one end of the link and is typically enabled on either the unmanaged or remote device.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with a good link status using the FCU-280x for remote connectivity. Note that LLR and LLCF are enabled as indicated in the diagram.

If one of the optical conductors is bad (as shown in the diagram box below), the converter with LLR function will return a no-link condition to its link partner. With LLCF function also enabled, the no-link condition is carried forward to the switch/hub where a trap is generated to the management station, and the administrator can then determine the source of the loss.

Note
LFP function is turned on by default. This feature can also be turned off via the side DIP-switch. If you are familiar with the network installation, for diagnostic purpose (i.e. check which end is broken), you can turn it off and reset the converter to make it take effect. Otherwise, please leave it at the default position.

installing the converter

Stand-alone Installation

To install a FCU-280x stand-alone, on a desktop or shelf, simply follow the steps below:

• Step 1: Turn off the power of the device/station on the network to which the FCU-280x will be attached.
• Step 2: Ensure that there is no activity in the network.
• Step 3: Attach fiber cable from the FCU-280x to the fiber network. TX, RX must be paired at both ends.
• Step 4: Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the FCU-280x and verify that the Power LED is lit.
• Step 5: Turn on the power of the device/station; the PWR LEDs should light when all cables are attached.
  

Note
To prevent from optic acceptor malfunction, check both wires / transmitter before powering on the converter.

SFP Model Installation

• Step 1: Connect the fiber cable. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable into the SFP transceiver.
• Step 2: Attach fiber cable from the media converter to the fiber network. TX, RX must be paired at both ends.
• Step 3: Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the media converter and verify that the Power LED is lit.
• Step 4: Turn on the power of the device/station; the PWR LEDs should light when all cables are attached.
  

Note
It’s recommended that Antaira SFP Modules be used in the Antaira converters. If you insert a SFP transceiver that is not supported, the converter will not recognize it.

duplex mode support

The FCU-280x is one-channel media conversion between 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX/LX. The 10/100/1000Base-T port can work under Auto-negotiation mode.
However, the 1000Base-SX/LX fiber port only works under forced 1000Mbps full duplex mode.

Led indication

port is successfully established. Blink: Indicates that the fiber port is actively sending or receiving data.
