Hardware Description

Physical Dimensions 

Figure 2.1, below, shows the physical dimensions of Antaira Technologies IMC-C1000-SFP series:
10/100/1000Tx to 100/1000Fx compact industrial gigabit Ethernet media converter.

Front Panel

The front panel of the IMC-C1000-SFP series: 10/100/1000Tx to 100/1000Fx industrial compact gigabit Ethernet media converter (Figure 2.2).

Top View

Figure 2.3, below, shows the top panel of the IMC-C1000-SFP series media converter that is equipped with one 4-pin removal terminal block connector for dual DC power inputs (12~48VDC).

LED Indicators 

There are LED light indicators located on the front panel of the industrial Ethernet media converter that displays the power status and network status. Each LED indicator has a  different color and has its own specific meaning, see below in Table 2.1.

Table 2.1

LED Indicators for IMC-C1000-SFP Series

DIP-Switch Setting

There are 2‐set DIP‐switch in the front panel that can be set for SFP (Link Fault Pass) function and SFP transmission rate, see below in Table 2.2

Table 2.2

The DIP‐switch setting for IMC-C1000-SFP Series
Note: After any DIP switch changes have been made, it is required to power cycle the unit for the changes to take effect.

Ethernet Ports

RJ-45 Ports

RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): The RJ-45 port is auto-sensing for 10/100Base-Tx or 1000BaseTx device connections.
Auto MDI/MDIX means that the media converter can connect to another switch or workstation without changing the straight-through or crossover cabling. See the figures shown below for the straight-through and crossover cabling schematics.

RJ-45 Pin Assignments (Table 2.3)

Table 2.3
RJ45 Pin Assignments

Note: The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair.

The RJ45 port on this industrial Ethernet media converter supports automatic MDI operations. Users can use straight-through cables (Figure 2.4 & Figure 2.5) for all network connections to PCs, servers, and other switches or hubs. With a straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable. The table below (Table 2.3) shows the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T MDI port pinouts.

Table 2.4
Ethernet Signal Pin Outs

The following figures show the cabling schematics for straight-through and crossover cables.

Cabling

• Twisted-pair segments can be connected with an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. The cable between the equipment and the link partner  (media converter, switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
• The small form‐factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in optical communications for both telecommunication and data communication applications.
• To connect the transceiver and LC cable, please follow below steps:
  o Step 1 – Insert the SFP transceiver module into the SFP slot as shown below in Figure 2.6. Notice that the triangle mark is at the bottom of the SFP slot. Figure 2.7 shows the SFP transceiver module was inserted.
  o Step 2 – Insert the fiber cable of the LC connector into the transceiver as shown below in Figure 2.8.
  
• To remove the LC connector from the transceiver, please follow the steps shown below:
  o Step 1 – Press the upper side of the LC connector from the transceiver and pull it out to release as shown below in Figure 2.9.
  o Step 2 – Push down the metal clasp and pull the transceiver out by the plastic part as shown below in Figure 2.10.
  

Wiring the Power Inputs

Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire.

1. Insert the positive and negative wires into the PWR1 (V1+, V1-) and PWR2 (V2+, V2-) contacts on the terminal block connector as shown below in Figure 2.11.
   
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from loosening, as shown below in Figure 2.12.
   

**Note:

• Only use copper conductors, 60/75°C, tighten to 5 lbs.
• The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between 18~20 AWG.

Mounting Installation

DIN-Rail Mounting 

The DIN-Rail is pre-installed on the industrial Ethernet media converter from the factory. If the DIN-Rail is not on the industrial Ethernet media converter, please refer to  Figure 3.1 to learn how to install the DIN-Rail on the media converter.

8. When all connections are set and the LED lights all show normal, the installation is completed.

Network Application

This segment provides an example of an industrial Ethernet media converter application (Figure 5.1).

Trouble Shooting

• Always verify the right power cord or adapter is being used. Never use a power supply or adapter with a non-compliant DC output voltage or it will burn the equipment.
• Select the proper UTP or STP cable in order to construct the network. Use an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections:  100Ω Category 5e for 10/100/1000Mbps. Also, be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
• Diagnosing LED Indicators: To assist in identifying problems, the media converter can be easily monitored with the LED indicators which help to identify if any problems exist.
  o Please refer to the LED Indicators section for LED light indication.
• If the power indicator LED does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, the user may have a problem with the power cord. Check for loose power connections, power losses, or surges at the power outlet.
  o Please contact Antaira for technical support service, if the problem still cannot be resolved.
• If the industrial media converter LED indicators are normal and the connected cables are correct but the packets still cannot transmit, please check the system’s Ethernet devices’ configuration or status.
