Intelligent Media Converter Series -

January 17, 2003

  • 16-slot Intelligent Media Converter Chassis with redundant power supply
  • Smart Gigabit / Fast Ethernet Media Converter

The Intelligent Media Converter Chassis WMC-1600R series provides 16-slots and one management system in a 19¡¨-rack chassis. The management function enables network administrators to monitor media converter connection status and configure the converter via an SNMP agent, Telnet or Web browser remotely, or locally via an RS-232 console port.

The WMC-1600R series media converter chassis allows the connection of up to sixteen PLANET Smart Fast / Gigabit Ethernet Converter in one chassis. With an independent power supply on each slot of the WMC-1600R series, any converter is hot-swappable without causing an interruption to other converters. Each bay of the media converter chassis can be populated with members of PLANET's smart media converter family. A redundant power supply is also provided to enhance the reliability with options of either 100~240V AC power or -48V DC power.

PLANET currently provides the WFT-8 series (10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX) and the WGT-7 series (1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX) Smart Media Converters with various fiber connecters and connection distance. All of the Smart Media Converters follow IEEE 802 standards, and are not only hot-swappable in the Intelligent Media Converter Chassis but can also be used as standalone converters.
Using the Smart Media Converter's Link Pass Through function, Network cable problems are easily and quickly isolated to decrease link downtime. The Link Pass Through function is a combination of two mechanisms: Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) and Link Loss Return (LLR). When LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward) is enabled, the ports do not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port. Link loss is ¡§carried forward¡¨ to the managed switch or hub that is sending the link. LLCF can be used for either copper or fiber ports. When LLR (Link Loss Return) is enabled, the fiber port's transmitter shuts down if its receiver fails to detect a valid receive link. If one of the optical conductors is bad, the converter with LLR enabled will return a no link condition to its link partner. LLR is used to detect link problems only on the fiber port. Both can immediately alert administrators to problems with the link media, and provide an efficient solution for network monitoring.

The WFT-8 series Smart Fast Ethernet Media Converters support Auto MDI/MDIX for the TX port and a store-and-forward mechanism. Using the DIP-switch on the Converter, the speed, FDX/HDX, auto-negotiation/forced, LLR and LLCF mode for copper and fiber may be configured. The WGT-7 series smart Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters also provide a DIP-switch for auto-negotiation/forced and LLR configuration with the LLCF function enabled by default.
