Introduction
Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) has always been an attractive option for Internet
access. It has all the benefits of optical fiber. It provides a future-proof network, in
that you do not have to go through the hassles of upgrading from ADSL to xDSL, or
digital co-ax to digital wireless. It does not have to struggle with electromagnetic
interference problems, and with no active “outside-plant” components, it offers the
highest reliability. Moreover, it does not require electric power and is immune to
lightning and other transients. These properties of fiber lead to the lowest possible
power and operational costs, such as maintenance, provisioning and facilities
planning.
The EC3002 Media Converter is an ideal Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) for
an FTTH system. The CPE is a single-channel fiber-to-copper media converter
housed in a compact unit. It allows a service provider to extend an Ethernet
connection over optical fiber directly to a subscriber. The CPE has an embedded (no
external plug/socket) 100BASE-FX full-duplex single-fiber single-mode cable
connection that runs from the service provider’s central office (CO). The
single-mode fiber connection can be run up to distances of 15 km from the CO. The
CPE also provides one standard 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 Ethernet port for
connecting to a customer’s PC, switch, or other network device using twisted-pair
cable.

Description of Hardware
The EC3002 is an FTTH CPE product for high-speed Internet access applications.
The CPE includes an embedded fiber cable connection, an RJ-45 Ethernet port, a
DIP-switch for the RJ-45 port settings, an internal DIP switch for Auto MDI-X, flow
control, MAC learning and Link Pass Through, LED status indicators, and an AC
power adapter connection.
The following figure shows the components of the CPE.
Fiber Cable Connection
The single-mode fiber cable connection from the service provider’s CO is embedded
(connected internally) within the CPE. There is no external plug and socket
connection, which prevents theCPE from being disconnected accidently. Also, there
are no configuration settings or maintenance necessary for the fiber cable link.
The single-fiber connection supports a 100BASE-FX full-duplex link to the CO. The
CPE’s fiber transceiver uses Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology to
achieve bi-directional operation (1550 nm transmit, 1310 nm receive) over a single
optical fiber. The WDM single-mode fiber link can run up to 15 km from the CO.
UTP Port
The RJ-45 Ethernet port labeled “UTP” operates at 10 or 100 Mbps, and supports
auto-negotiation of speed, duplex mode (i.e., half or full duplex), and flow control.
The UTP port can also be forced to a specific speed and duplex mode via a
DIP-switch setting. Using the DIP switch you can also set the port for MDI or MDI-X
operation, so you can use straight-through cable for all connections.

Connecting to the CPE
Caution: The CPE fiber line should be connected to the unit by a qualified technician
only. Do not attempt to remove the fiber cable from the CPE. If there are any
problems with the fiber cable connection, contact your service provider.
You can connect any computer with an Ethernet network interface card, a LAN
switch, hub, or other network device to the CPE’s UTP port.
Making a Connection to the UTP Port
The UTP port on the CPE supports both MDI and MDI-X operation via DIP-switch
selection. This allows you to use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to
connect to any other network device (computers, switches, routers, or hubs).
See “Port and Cable Assignments” on page 16 for more information on connecting
straight-through or crossover UTP cables to MDI or MDI-X ports.
Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the
CPE. Instead, use only twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors that conform
with FCC standards.
To connect the CPE’s UTP port directly to a computer, carry out the following steps:
1. Prepare the computer you wish to connect. Make sure you have installed a
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network interface card for connecting to the CPE’s
UTP port.
2. Check that the CPE’s UTP port has auto-negotiation enabled by setting the
“Auto” DIP-switch to ON. If you manually set the speed and duplex mode, be
sure that the CPE and computer’s network interface card settings match.
3. Check that the CPE’s UTP port has MDI-X enabled by setting the “MDI-X”
DIP-switch to ON. Prepare straight-through shielded or unshielded twisted-pair
cable with RJ-45 plugs at both ends (not included in the CPE package). Use
100-ohm Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10 Mbps Ethernet connections, or
100-ohm Category 5 cable for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet connections.

Configuring the TCP/IP Protocol
To connect to the Internet through the CPE’s Ethernet port, a computer must have
an Ethernet network interface card installed, and be configured for the TCP/IP
protocol. Many service providers will configure TCP/IP for client computers
automatically using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). Other serviceproviders may specify an IP configuration(known as
a static IP address), which must be entered manually.
Carry out the following steps to check that the computer’s Ethernet port is correctly
configured for DHCP.
Windows 95/98/NT
1. Select Start/Settings/Control Panel.
2. Click on the Network icon.
3. For Windows NT, click the Protocols tab.
