S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter
1 ─ Overview The SCON family products are 10/100Base-TX –FX buffered Media Converters. They provide network extension over MM fiber (up to 2Km) and up to 150Km over SM fiber in any network architecture (even with repeaters). SFS (Single-Fiber-Strand) versions of the S.CON make it a superb choice for suitable installations saving 50% of the entire cable plant Managed SNMP models are also available: SCON1M models. A media-converter may be defined as a device connecting two active network components point-to-point over a media that is different from the ports of at least one of these devices. While Media Converters are considered part of the cable plant, in many cases they must be remotely managed as any other network device. In particular this is true in mission-critical, fully managed networks as well as in networks dispersed over large areas to allow efficient control and maintenance. While vendors offer such feature for large chassis based systems only, the need for management is more intense in single channel devices, being deployed away from the main wiring closets. Out-of-band management assures independence of the control channel for enhanced system reliability. An ideal media-converter should be a transparent element in the network, and its ports may be considered as integral parts of the devices interconnected by it. The IEE802.3u standard defines network span in terms of distances and bit times. Conventional 100Base-TX/100Base-FX media-converters are based on repeater technology, and they form a part of the collision domain created by the interconnected devices. Therefore, the delay they introduce in the network severely affects the allowed distances. Furthermore, if two class II repeaters (i.e., 2 hubs) are already present in the same collision domain, then the use of a conventional converter is not allowed as the repeater count may - in such case - exceed the limits. In all other cases, meticulous PDV (Path Delay Value) must be performed prior to establishing the possible distances for both the fiber optic (F/O) and copper segments. The S.CON family series implement a non-repeater, full re-timing design. It creates a Buffered Media Domain (BMD) over the F/O link, thereby eliminating all the abovementioned limitations. The BMD created by two S.CON devices always operates at maximum performance - 100Mbps/Full Duplex - while interconnected devices may operate at different rates and modes. The S.CON1 supports the Far End Fault (FEF) feature. Far End Fault occurs when the signal detection is logically false from the receive (incoming path) fiber port. When the S.CON1 detects a F/O Link Loss condition, the unit will automatically send a Far End Fault signal to the remote device (on it outgoing path). The remote device should support the same FEF feature and it will indicate a Link Loss as well. (Refer to section 8 for more details). The S.CON1 supports bi-directional Fault Propagation mechanism (FO>TP and TP>FO). When the S.CON1 senses a loss of F/O Link, it will automatically cut its TP port link. If the S.CON1 unit is connected to a Master Unit, which does support Fault Propagation, the latter will sense the loss of the F/O link and it will deliberately cut its TP port. If the S.CON1 TP port link fails, the FP will cut the F/O link port (Refer to section 12 for a detailed description).

2 ─ Planning your network with S.CON1 This chapter will guide you through network planning in order to obtain maximum benefit - in terms of performance and functionality - from the S.CON converter and other network devices. For specific instructions regarding the S.CON setup, consult section 11 – "DIP Switches setting”. Any networking device may connect to the copper port of the S.CON converters: switches (of any type), hubs of any type (including 10Base-T!) or workstations (10 or 100Mbps). While copper segments distances (between the device and the S.CON and between such device and another device) reach their maximum at 100m/330ft, the F/O segment (multi-mode fiber) may be extended to 2000m (6500ft) and much more over single-mode fiber. (Up to150Km). Single Fiber Strand (15-20 Km) models can be deployed saving 50 % of the cabling plant. As an S.CON1 device is only slightly more expensive (if at all) than a plain 100BaseFX transceiver (and certainly less expensive than an integrated 100Base-FX up-link module in any of the interconnected devices), it is highly recommended to use the typical configuration below: extra benefits are obtained at little or no additional cost! Additional benefits are obtained due to the implementation of the BMD (Buffered Media Domain). When the F/O link connects two hubs, S.CON1 not only converts media but also splits the network into two segments, which reduces loads and collisions! Furthermore, hubs operating at two different speeds (10Base-T and 100Base-TX) may be interconnected, in which case the S.CON1 now acts as a rate converter as well. By using the SNMP managed version, S.CON1M devices, the entire network (see the drawing in the next page: “Typical Network Configuration”) can be monitored by means of the SNMP manager station located in the Headquarters building.

General Description All S.CON models have identical functionality and performance. Therefore, any description or feature of one model refers to all other types. The RJ-45 port operates in Auto-Negotiation mode: It may operate in 100Base-TX or 10Base-T and in both FDX and HDX modes, depending on the type of device to which it is connected. The TP port is a shielded RJ-45 port, cat.5, and 100m. The port can operate as an MDI-II or MDI-X port depending on the MDI-II /MDI-X selector The S.CON1 is equipped with an MDI-II/MDI-X selector on the front panel to allow connection of either a switch/hub or a station, allowing the use of either a straight or cross-twisted pair cable. The F/O port supports 100Base-FX transmission in both FDX and HDX modes. The conversion process creates a BMD, allowing unprecedented functionality and performance. The F/O port is setup by default to operate at 100Mbps FDX. For optimized set-up, each S.CON unit is equipped with an array of 7 positions DIP switches accessible from the front panel. (MODE SETUP). The device provides extensive diagnostics and a status display with 7 high visibility LEDs for each S.CON device. SCON.1 models Power Supply (including –48 models) The system is equipped with a powerful power supply (100 - 240V universal input or –48VDC). A front panel LED indicates the power status.

6 ─ Installation procedures S.CON1 all models (including –48 VDC models). This device is intended for use with indoors power lines only. For Desktop use: Affix the supplied plastic “feet” (after peeling off the adhesive protecting sheet) to the bottom of the devices, with each “foot” approximately 1 cm from each edge. Place the device horizontally on a hard, clean surface (desk, shelf, etc.), leaving free space around it for natural ventilation. Avoid placing the device on other active, heat generating equipment and avoid placing such devices on other S.CON1 unit. For wall mount installation Attach the single channel wall mount kit (SCH – WM part # B161) with two (supplied) screws to the base of the S.CON1 unit (select any 2 adjacent nuts: 1+2 or 3+4 or1+3 or 2+4) to achieve the desired mode of mounting. The screws to be fixed on the wall should not protrude more than 8mm. Append the S.CON1 unit on the wall.
For Shelf installation: Use the 19” Rack shelf (CTF-RM P/N B012) for installation of up to 3 S.CON1 units. During the installation of several 19” Rack shelves, it is recommended to leave at least 1cm ventilation space between two adjacent racks.

7 ─ Power Connection CAUTION: When connecting a device to an AC(DC) power outlet, always first connect the cord to the device, and ensure that it is securely fastened. Only afterward connect the cord to the wall outlet. Make sure to use grounded (3 way) outlets (in case of AC models). For each country FibroLAN (or FibroLAN’s distributor) provide with the product an appropriate power supply cord which is safety approved in accordance with related country’s National Electric Code S.CON1 all AC models Rear Panel Connect to AC line socket at the rear of the converter, using the included power cord. The S.CON1 will accept and automatically switch between any line voltage from 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. There is no ON/OFF switch on the device. When the power is connected to the device, the device is ON. The POWER LED on the front panel being illuminated will indicate this.
S.CON1 with 48 VDC Power Supply (PS48)
Proceed as above using a suitable DC supply cable. Verify that the DC-Mains provide a 10Amp DC circuit breaker. Ensure that the polarity of the cable complies with the polarity of the DC receptacle on the device as depicted above. If you use the FibroLAN CBPS-48V cable (B151), insert all-way-in the D-type DC connector and secure the D-Shell to the DC Inlet of the S.CON1 device using the two captive screws. Connect the cable 3 leads to the DC Power Outlet, ensuring that the -48V blue lead is connected to the -48V of the DC Power Outlet, the red/brown OV lead to the OV of the DC Power Outlet, and the ground lead (yellow/green) to the ground of the DC Power Outlet. There is no ON/OFF switch on the device. When the power is connected to the device, the device is ON. The POWER LED being illuminated will indicate this. NEVER OPEN THE DEVICE WHEN IT IS CONNECTED TO POWER LINES! 12
S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter
8 ─ 100Base-FX Far End Fault (FEF feature) Usually a “LINK” indication is related to the incoming fiber only: F/O Link ON shows that the path created by the remote transmitter, local receiver and the fiber connecting them is operational. However if there is a fault in the other – outgoing path (created by the local transmitter, remote receiver and the fiber connecting them) – the indication for such fault can be seen on the remote device only. The FEF implemented in the S.CON1 closes this gap: if there is a fault in the outgoing path and the remote device is FEF compliant, then the F/O LINK LED will go OFF on both the local and remote devices. In this way we avoid the possibility of having a FX Link ON indication at one end while, in reality one of the data path is disrupted. The drawing below depicts the FEF functionality. The SD (Signal Detect indicated by the SD LED) will further enhance the FEF feature.
If any of Receive path elements becomes faulty, Converter B will show a Link Down condition and will send a FEF signal to Converter A which in turn will indicate a F/O Link down as well.
13
S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter
Far End Fault (FEF) and the SD (Signal Detect) The combination of the FEF feature and the SD LED ( SD =Signal Detect which implies data signal present during receive mode ) provides a powerful and efficient troubleshooting tool to easily identify a failed fiber connection within a F/O link. The below drawing depicts the Signal Detect (SD LED) functionality. When Fiber 1 is disrupted, this event will cause the SD LED to be OFF at Converter B, a clear indication that Fiber 1 path is faulty. On the other hand, SD LED at Converter A is lit which indicates that Fiber 2 is intact and operational.
Converter B shows both F/O Link/Act and SD LEDs in OFF condition due to Fiber 1 line disrupted. Converter A has its SD LED lit since the converter has received the FEF signal, thus Fiber 2 is actually intact. By means of the FEF and SD LED, we can identify the failing fiber line.
14
S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter
9 ─ F/O Cabling Connection The S.CON1 is equipped with 1 pair of SC-type connector or single SC connector for SFS (Single –Fiber – Strand) models. Do not remove the protective covers on the fiber connectors until you are ready to connect the fiber optic cables. Power should be connected before attaching the fiber optic cables. When dealing with fiber optic cables, it is essential to ensure that the Tx at one end of the link is connected to the Rx at the other end of the link. Some duplex fiber optic cables are color coded to help monitor the direction of data transmission. If the fibers are not coded, special attention must be paid to ensure a proper connection. When deploying a single-fiber-strand link make sure that wavelength of Rx of your device complies with the wavelength of the Tx of the remote device. In case of deploying a link comprising of 2 such S.CON1 units it means that one should be S.CON1/SMRF13 and the other S.CON1/SMRF15. (or SMXF13/SMXF15 for SFS 80Km link)
CAUTION Radiation emitted from a fiber optic connector may be hazardous to human vision. Therefore, the following rules must be strictly observed All Single-mode (SM) models are CLASS I LASER PRODUCT that may endanger your eyes and must be handled with special care hen not in use, keep the fiber optic connector closed using s protective cover Never stare directly into the fiber optic connector of a powered device or into the end of a fiber connected to it. Do not look directly into the fiber optic cables or transmitter Laser Safety The emissions produced by the end products described in this guide are under Class 1 emission level according to IEC 60825-1 and the FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.1. These products shall not be installed in an optical network handling above Class 1 level.

10 ─ Twisted Pair cabling connection The S.CON1 provides one shielded RJ-45 connector to interface to the twisted pair link. The port operates in Auto –negotiation mode and according to the position of the MDI-II / MDI-X selector switch located on the front panel. Use a shielded Cable Type 5 or higher grade, up to 100m (330ft) long. STP cable carries a higher quality of signal and is less sensitive to environmental noise. The 10/100BaseTX port (configured as MDI-X) is normally designed to be connected directly to a workstation, using a standard straight through patch cable. In order to connect a Hub or a switch, a crossover cable is normally used. Rules: With the same type of TP ports (MDI-X < > MDI-X, or MDI > < MDI) use a crossover cable. With different ports (MDI-X < > MDI) use a straight cable Set up the selector (MDI-II/MDX) located on the front panel according to the available TP type cable and the setup of the remote connected TP port. Check if the remote TP port does support Auto-Negotiation and act accordingly.
16
S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter
11 ─ DIP switches setting Each S.CON1 unit is equipped with an array of 7 DIP switches that facilitate the proper setting of the TP and F/O ports for optimal operation. Each port may have different settings. A wrong setting will not necessarily result in a channel malfunction, but rather in nonoptimal operation (for instance - HDX operation instead of FDX). The switches are recessed in the front panel to avoid incidental change of position. Use a flat-head miniature screwdriver (or a similar tool), insert it through the slot, hold it vertically to the panel against the switch to be set, and change its position up or down according to the following table.
Note: the S7 switch is effective only in the S.CON1M series. After each configuration change, move the S6 DIP switch to down position. When S6 is down (reset operation) the unit will not operate. After a few seconds, flip the S6 back to UP position.
17
S.CON1 Single Channel TX/FX Converter
12 ─ Fault Propagation mechanism. The main purpose of fault propagation mechanism implemented in media converters is to allow real-time notification of any link failure to upper hierarchy devices (e.g. switches/routers with redundant links), consequently activating an alternate path to communicate with a mission critical site. However, such mechanisms implemented in other vendors’ products, may suffer from an inherent drawback. These are typical bidirectional mechanisms: fault propagates both from fiber to TP port and from TP to the fiber port. When such devices are connected to modern devices implementing FEF (Far End Fault) it may become a lethal combination: while propagating the fault as intended, when fault (original link break) is repaired (i.e. original link is restored), such systems will hang and can be restored only by manual intervention. The powerful fault-propagation mechanism implemented in the S.CON1 prevents such deadlock. The fault propagation is bi-directional FO >TP and TP>FO (enabled/disabled by means of DIP switch 5). When S.CON1 senses loss of its F/O link, it deliberately cuts its TPO link (FO>TP). If the TP port link fails, the FP will disable the FO port Link (TP>FO). DIP Switch S5 enable/disable bi-directional Fault Propagation (FO>TP and TP>FO). The FP implemented in S.CON1 allows free operation with all types of FP or FEF enabled devices. The mostly common use is (at the central site) FO>>TP propagation: failure of the fiber link will cut the TP link connected to the router/switch, which in turn will activate an alternate path to the remote site (in our case: S.CON1) and/or alert the network manager. The FP mechanism should be disabled while installing or maintaining the network. Normally while installing a F/O network, it is common to establish first a F/O link and only afterwards to connect the network devices to the converters. The Link Test mode is for diagnostic purposes. The Link Test in the S.CON1 unit is enabled through the DIP switch S5 (UP position) disabling the FP mechanism. In this mode each of the link segments (typically 3: TP, F/O, TP) provides separate and true indication of its integrity therefore the defective link can be identified and consequently repaired. (following the FP activity due a link failure). After repairing (or completing installation), set the DIP switch S5 to down position to resume the Fault Propagation mechanism. While in TEST mode, the S.CON1 provides full functionality and run normal data traffic, except the fault propagation is disabled. In other words, if one or both converters forming the link are – by mistake or negligence left in this mode, it will not obstruct the normal data traffic. When interconnecting some legacy devices, you may experience linking-up problems. In such case, it is recommended to disable momentarily the Fault Propagation feature (remain in Test Mode). If however, the FP is needed, make sure that all the links (F/O and UTP) are operative in the network, and only afterwards reenable the FP mechanism.

13 ─ FP and FEF in action
1. When the Converter B senses a F/O Link failure on its Rx line, it transmits a FEF signal to Converter A and since the FO>TP Fault Propagation is enabled via DIP switch S5, it will also cut its TP port link. Both F/O and TP Link/Act LEDs are off at Converter B. 2. The Converter A will receive the FEF signal and cause its FO link indication to be dropped (F/O Link/Act = off). 3. The Converter A has the FO>TP Fault Propagation enabled and senses that its F.O port Link is dropped and therefore it will cut its TP port Link. Converter A will show its TP Link/Act LED off.

Move the S6 to the DOWN support Autoposition and move it back to the UP position after Negotiation mode one second (reset operation). Fiber link not Link\Act LED not Check that the receive fiber is properly connected to the transmit port of the remote fiber device Lit working AND the transmit port to the receive port of the remote device. Check the position of the “MODE SETUP “ S4 Check that the fiber optic power is the required receive power on the receive fiber connector at the S.CON1 end. Check if the SD (Signal Detect) LED is lit and according to drawing (page 16) you may determine which fiber line is faulty (if this is the case). and late On the front panel switches, move S6 to DOWN Improper network Runt collision position and move it back to the UP position after traffic one second. (Reset operation). Check ports configurations on the DIP switches. Verify that both ends of F/O links are set to the same mode (Half Duplex OR Full Duplex). Check that both sides of UTP connection are in same mode (10Mbps Half duplex OR 10Mbps full duplex, 100Mbps Half duplex OR 100Mbps full duplex). If the problem persists after carrying out the above procedure, do the following: replace the suspected S.CON with another similar working unit, perform the requested setup. If that has solved the problem, send your S.CON for repair. 20
