Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.0 Introduction
Thank you for choosing PHB-200 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Media Converter Concentrator Rack. If you would like
to skip right to the installation of the Converter Chassis, proceed to Chapters 2.
This manual is used to explain the hardware installation and provisioning procedures for PHB-200, and present
its capabilities and specifications. This manual is divided into 5 Sections, the Introduction, Installation, Provisioning,
SNMP and Troubleshooting chapters.
Installers should carefully read the Chapters 2&3, Installation and Provisioning. The divisions in that manual
are intended for use by personnel to answer questions in general areas. Planners and potential purchasers may
read Chapter 1 Introduction to determine the suitability of the product to its intended use; Operating personnel
would use the Provisioning (Chapter 3) to become familiar with the unit settings. Network Administrators should
read the chapters on Provisioning, SNMP and Troubleshooting (Chapter 3, 4 & 5) to become familiar with the
diagnostic capabilities, network settings and management strategies for the SNMP managed chassis.
1.1 Functional Description
PHB-200 is a 1U high 19" rack mountable device that features 20 completely independent and isolated Gigabit
Ethernet fiber media converters concentrated into a single unit. PHB-200 provides a fixed, high density solution by
placing 20 media converters in one manageable platform. A feature of PHB-200 allows it to detect the working or
failing status either of two power supplies or any fan in the unit and activate relays that can be used to control
external alarm devices.
All settings of the media converters may be managed through any of the available management interfaces. A
local serial COM port allows management from terminal emulation and an easy to use menu system. When the
optional SNMP network management feature is installed, the PHB-200 may be managed via Telnet (menu system),
HTTP GUI or SNMP.
The optical ports of PHB-200 support industry standard SFP modules. Both fast Ethernet and gigabit Ethernet
data rates are supported (100/1000 dual rate). SFP may be typical duplex fiber modules, WDM (BiDi) single fiber
types or CWDM/DWDM types. The PHB-200 supports reading the DOM of any inserted SFP. There is no lock-out
feature, so any third party SFP module may be freely used.
PHB-200 copper twisted pair ports utilized shielded RJ-45 connectors. These Ethernet ports support
10/100/1000M auto negotiation per IEEE802.3u.
PHB-200 may incorporate redundant power supplies. When the unit is ordered with two supplies, they provide
for power redundancy. The supplies, depending on the model, derive power from either an AC power source (100 ~
240VAC) and/or DC power source. Two available DC power options provide either 18-36VDC or 36-60VDC range.
The copper Ethernet and fiber SFP cages are also located on the face, along with status indicator LEDs. The status
LED indicators provide for quick indications of both copper and fiber link statuses and fault detection.

1.2 Chassis Front Description
The front of PHB-200 has the SFP cages and RJ-45 pairs for each of the independent fiber media converters.
Status LEDs provide real time state of fiber and UTP links. The DB9 female console port is RS-232 DCE for direct
connection to PC COM port with 1:1 cable. This provides an easy to use 'menu system' for local configuring,
operating and monitoring of the PHB-200. No complex CLI (command line interface) must be learned.

1.2.1 LED Indicators
1.2.1.1 RJ-45 LAN Port
The electrical LAN port of each converter channel has two LED indicators. The left hand side LED is a dual
color LED that indicates the LAN speed on the UTP port. When the LED is off, the speed indicated is 10M
(10Base-T). When the LED is green, the speed indicated is 100M (100Base-TX). When the LED is amber colored,
the speed indicated is 1000M (1000Base-T). The right hand LED is also a dual color LED. When green the LED
indicates a Full Duplex connection and when off, indicates a Half Duplex connection. When this LED is amber, it
indicates the converter is forwarding a link loss (LFP is active).

1.2.1.2 SFP Cage Fiber LAN Port
The optical LAN port of each converter channel uses an SFP cage. Located directly above each SFP cage are
two LED indicators. The left hand side LED is a dual color LED that indicates the Fiber speed on that port. When
the LED is off, it indicates the port is disabled. When the LED is green, the Fiber speed indicated is 100M
(100Base-FX). When the LED is amber colored, the Fiber speed indicated is 1000M (1000Base-X). The right hand
LED is a green LED that when lit indicates Fiber link state. When off, there is no Fiber link.

1.2.1.4 SNMP Port
This RJ-45 port supports a 10/100M Ethernet connection for management when the optional SNMP module is
installed in the PHB-200. Without the SNMP module, this connector is of no use and connects to nothing internally.
There are two LEDs associated with this RJ-45 connector, a GREEN link indicator for presence or absence of LAN
link and a GREEN activity indicator which will flash whenever there is LAN traffic on this port.
