OVERVIEW:
The
iConverter
fiber-to-fiber chassis plug-in media
converters provide single-mode (SM) to multimode (MM),
dual fiber to single-fiber, wavelength conversion and fiber
extension. Fixed-fiber models are available for Ethernet,
Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and SONET/SDH
applications. The Small Form Pluggable (SFP) model
is protocol transparent and also supports Fibre Channel.
The
iConverter
FF media converters can be used in a
managed or unmanaged configuration. Management
of the FF is accomplished by installing a Management
Module
1
(such as an
iConverter
NMM2 or 10/100M2) in
the same chassis. Management provides monitoring,
configuration and trap notification. When unmanaged,
it can be installed in a chassis without a Management
Module.
1
For complete management support, use a M2 series module
(NMM2, GX/TM2, 2GXM2, 10/100M2, 2FXM2) or higher. The xFF
(8699-0) module must be at rev xx/09 or greater. All revisions of
FF modules are supported.

LINK MODES:
The
iConverter
fiber-to-fiber media converters support two
different linking modes.
Fig. 1 Link Modes
In Link Propagate (LP) mode (sometimes referred to as
Link Loss Carry Forward), a port transmits a Link signal
only when receiving a Link on the other front-plane port,
and a loss of a received Link at one port causes the other
front-plane port to stop transmitting its link signal. For
example, P1 transmits a Link only when receiving a Link
at P2 [Fig 1(a)].
In Remote Fault Detection (RFD) mode, a port transmits
a Link signal only when both itself and the other port are
receiving Link signals. A loss of a received Link signal at
a port is Looped-back and the port stops transmitting a
Link signal. The same loss of Link is propagated to the
other port which also stops transmitting the Link signal.
For example, the loss of Link into P2 causes both P1 and
P2 ports to stop transmission of the Link signal [Fig 1(b)].
Note: Connecting two adjacent converters which
are both set to RFD is not permitted and will cause a
“deadly embrace” lockup.

Link Segment/Link Propagation “LS/LP” Dip-Switch:
This DIP-Switch has no effect. The LS function of this DIP-
Switch has been disabled to enhance compatibility with
third-party fiber optic devices.
iConverter
fiber-to-fiber media
converters normally operate in LP mode.
Remote Fault Detection Switch “RFD” Dip-Switch:
When in the Remote Fault Detection “RFD” position, the
Remote Fault Detection mode is enabled and LP mode
is disabled. When in the Normal “Norm” position (fac-
tory setting), Remote Fault Detection is disabled and LP
mode is enabled.

MOUNTING AND CABLE ATTACHMENT:
iConverter
modules are hot-swappable and can be
installed into any chassis in the
iConverter
family.
1. Carefully slide the
iConverter
module into installation
slot, aligning the module with the installation guides.
NOTE: Ensure that the module is firmly seated against
backplane.
2. Secure the module by securing the panel fastener
screw (attached to module) to chassis front.
3. When using an SFP model (8699-0), insert the SFP
Fiber transceivers into the SFP receptacles on the
module.
Note: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver
must be in the closed position before insertion. The
transceivers installed must have matching speeds
to operate.
4. Attach an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber
cable to each fiber connector. The transmit cable (Tx)
must attach to the receive side on the other device; the
receive cable (Rx) must attach to the transmit.
5. When using single-fiber (SF) models, the Tx wavelength
on one end must match the Rx wavelength on the other
and the converters must be used in matched pairs
(example: model 8670-1 must be matched with model
8671-1).
