Overview
The AT-PB300 Series Media Converters are hot swappable modules for the
PowerBlade Chassis. The AT-PB300 Series Media Converters are designed to
extend the distance of your network by allowing you to interconnect twisted
pair cabling and fiber optic cabling. Each unit features an 100Base-TX twisted
pair port and an 100Base-FX fiber optic port. The twisted pair port has an
RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
The fiber optic port has an VF-45, MT-RJ, LC, or FJ connector, depending on
the model, and a maximum operating range of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles). The
AT-PB300 Series Media Converters operate at 100 Mbps and feature half- and
full-duplex operation.

Installing a Media Converter
1. Remove a blank faceplate from an empty expansion slot on the front of the
chassis. The module can be installed in any slot.
2. Remove the module from the shipping package and store the packaging
material in a safe place. Be sure to observe standard ESD precautions.
3. Set the Auto-negotiation switch on the board to enable or disable auto-
negotiation of the duplex mode on the module. Refer to the PowerBlade
Chassis Installation Guide for the location of the Auto-negotiation switch.
4. Slide the module into the expansion slot, aligning it with the guiderails
until it firmly connects to the chassis’ backplane.
5. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the thumbscrew.
. Verify that the PR LED on the front of the module is green. If the LED is
OFF, refer to the PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for
troubleshooting instructions.
7. Set the ML/LT button to the Link Test (OUT) position. This enables the
link test feature.
8. Remove the dust cover from the fiber optic port and connect the fiber optic
cable to the 100Base-FX port.
9. Connect the twisted pair cable to the 100Base-TX twisted pair port.
10. Set the MDI/MDI-X button to the appropriate setting.
11. The module is now ready for use. Repeat this procedure to install
additional AT-PB300 Series modules.
Refer to the PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for additional
information.
