1. DIP Switch Local Coax Mode Operation Coax Loopback This DIP switch facilitates the testing of the coax cables When the CLB dip switch is in the right position it sets the coax port to a Local Coax Loopback Mode Figure 4 and the CLB LED is turned ON When in this mode data received at the BNC In is forwarded to the BNC Out and the Fiber Out If no data is received at BNC In an AIS pattern is transmitted out both BNC Out and Fiber Out By returning the DIP switch to the left position the unit resumes normal operation Remote Unit Fiber Out Fiber In BNC Out Fiber In Fiber Out Fig 4 Coax Loopback and DIP Switch Settings Remote Loopback Mode When both the FLB and CLB DIP switches are in the right position they force a remote unit to loop back its fiber and coax ports Figure 5 This facilitates test of the fiber cables and the remote unit without having to physically set DIP switches on the remote unit While in this mode the local unit s BNC is set to a local loopback and its FLB and CLB LEDs are turned ON While in the Remote Loopback Mode the local unit sends a test pattern to the remote unit This pattern forces the remote unit into the loopback mode and is also returned back to the local unit When forced into the Remote Loopback Mode the remote unit s FLB and CLB blink slowly 1Hz When the test pattern is received successfully at the local units Fiber In the2. osr Omnitron Systems Technology Inc iConverter T3 E3 User Manual OVERVIEW The iConverter T3 E3 managed media converter is a member of the modular iConverter product family The T3 E3 provides standard T3 B3ZS line protocol 44 763Mbps or E3 HDB3 line protocol 34 368Mbps coax to fiber conversion and can be used by telco service providers and enterprise users to connect devices such as PBXs multiplexers routers and video servers via multimode MM single mode SM or single mode single fiber SF fiber Designed to extend the standard T3 E3 Coax network distances over fiber this converter provides protection from environmental noise and effectively increases high speed network reliability The T3 E3 module can be used in any of the iConverter chassis such as the 1 Module 2 Module 5 Module and 19 Module chassis The T3 E3 can be used in a managed or unmanaged fashion When unmanaged it can be installed in an iConverter chassis without a Network Management Module NMM To be managed a NUM module must be installed in the same chassis as the T3 E3 module To read about specific management functionality refer to the NetOutlook user manual T3 E3 section This User Manual covers the models listed in the following table Page 1 The On Board DIP switches facilitate the selection between T3 E3 STS 1 protocols the coax distance fiber and coax port control and the injection of pseudo random data patterns into the
