AT-CM212x/1 Series Converteon Line Cards
Installation Guide
Overview
The AT-CM212x/1 Series (AT-CM212A/1 or AT-CM212B/1) line cards are 100 Mbps
copper-to-fiber media converter line cards. You can install these line cards in any
Converteon Series chassis. The line card features one fiber optic port and one copper
twisted pair port. Both ports feature half- or full-duplex mode operation. The line cards are
hot-swappable into and out of a Converteon chassis.
Although they look identical, the AT-CM212A/1 or AT-CM212B/1 line cards differ in the
transmit and receive wavelength of their fiber optic port. The AT-CM212A/1 line card has
a transmit wavelength of 1310 nm and a receive wavelength of 1550 nm. The
AT-CM212B/1 line card has a transmit wavelength of 1550 nm and a receive wavelength
of 1310 nm.

AT-CM212x/1 Series Line Card Components
An AT-CM212x/1 Series line card has the components shown below.
Port Descriptions
Fiber Optic Port
The fiber optic port is IEEE 802.3ah-compliant and has a simplex SC connector with a
maximum operating distance of 15 kilometers (9.32 miles). The port has a fixed operating
speed of 100 Mbps.
Twisted Pair Port
The 10/100Base-TX compliant twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum
operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). Category 5 (5E), 100 Ohm shielded or
unshielded twisted pair cabling is required. The pinouts for this port are shown in
“Twisted Pair Port Pinouts.”
LEDs
An AT-CM212x/1 Series line card has four status LEDs, two LEDS for the fiber optic port,
and three LEDs for the twisted pair port, as described in “LED Descriptions.”
DIP Switches
Two sets of DIP switches allow you to set the operating mode and MDI/MDI-X features, as
described in “DIP Switch Settings.”
Installing an AT-CM212x/1 Series Line Card
Note
Before you install an AT-CM212x/1 Series line card, refer to the appropriate
Converteon chassis installation guide for electrical safety and emissions information.
Note
You can install a Converteon line card in any Converteon chassis line card slot.
To install an AT-CM212x/1 Series line card, perform the following procedure:
1.
Remove the AT-CM212x/1 Series line card from its shipping package and store the
package in a safe place. You must use the original package if you need to return the
unit to Allied Telesis.
2.
Configure the line card’s DIP switches as required. Refer to “DIP Switch Settings” for
more information.
3.
Select any line card slot in the chassis where you want to install the AT-CM212x/1
Series line card, and remove the blank slot cover if one is installed.
4.
Align the back edge of the line card with the top and bottom alignment guides located
inside the slot.
5.
Slide the line card into the slot until the front of the card is flush with the front of the
chassis.
Note
Avoid touching the line card components.
6.
Secure the AT-CM212x/1 Series line card to the chassis by using a Phillips
screwdriver to tighten the captive screw on the faceplate.
Note
Always tighten the captive screw to secure the line card to the chassis.
7.
Repeat this procedure to install additional line cards.
