The Converteon Product Line
The Converteon product line consists of modular fiber optic media
converters that connect Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet networks across
distances of up to forty kilometers. The major components of the product
line are:
ˆ AT-CM Media Converter Line Card Series and the AT-S73
Management Software
ˆ AT-CV Media Converter Line Card Series
ˆ AT-CV5M01 Management Card and the AT-S70 Management
Software
ˆ AT-CV5M02 Management Card and the AT-S99 Management
Software
ˆ AT-CV1000, AT-CV1200, AT-CV1203, and AT-CV5000 Chassis
Most of the line cards in the AT-CM Series and the AT-CV Series are two
port media converters that transfer Ethernet network traffic between a
twisted pair port and a fiber optic port or two fiber optic ports. Most of the
line cards have fiber optic ports that have fixed operating distances.
However, several of the cards can be customized for specific transmission
media or distance requirements because they feature one or two slots for
SFP fiber optic transceivers.
The AT-CM and AT-CV Line Cards can be used as unmanaged devices.
They are fully operational as soon as they are installed in a Converteon
chassis and cabled to your network. They feature low latency to minimize
the impact on network performance, and cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
detection to prevent the propagation of incomplete or fragmented packets
on your network.
For network environments where management oversight is necessary, the
Converteon product line includes the AT-CV5M01 and AT-CV5M02
Management Cards. These cards let you view the status of the links of the
ports on the media converter line cards, display port statistics, and
configure the operating modes of the line cards. These cards also let you
configure the additional features on the AT-CM Media Converter Line
Cards, such as port filters and OAM-based features.
The AT-CV5M01 and AT-CV5M02 Management Cards have simple-to-
use menus and support both local (out-of-band) management through a
serial RS-232 Console port and remote (in-band) management from a
Telnet client. The AT-CV5M02 Card also supports remote web browser
management.
