User’s safety
The TM-170 converter has been designed and tested for the operation and safety
in accordance with PN-EN-60950 standard. It complies with Class 1 safety requirements.
!Grounding terminal located on the rear panel of the device should be connected to
grounding.
!The device does not have a disconnecting system installed. The said system should be on
the outside of the device.
The Manufacturer is not responsible for the use of the device in a manner non-compliant
with the operating manual.
This Operating Manual is an integral part of the device delivered to the Users.

General Properties
1.1. Description and requirements
EtherCon TM-170.1 is a converter enabling the connection of independent Ethernet
10/100BASE – TX local network segments using the SDH or PDH telecom network based on an
E3 frameless signal at a transmission speed of 34368 kbit/s and with a ITU – T G.703
recommendation. The Ethernet interface data transmission speed may be limited to
• n x 64 kbit/s , n = 1 to 32.
• n x 1024 kbit/s, n = 3 to 32
Isolation network segment and increasing its output is possible thanks to an address filter.
Flow control pursuant to IEEE802.3x defines the method of transmitting frames in full duplex
manner in order to avoid overloading the converter.
The converter also transparently transmits longer than 1522 bite Ethernet frames which are
a part of the virtual networks in compliance with the IEEE 802.1Q standard or with the setting of
priorities IEEE 802.1p standard.
The converter is equipped with an SNMP agent. It is implemented with a version 1
(SNMPv1) SNMP and a TCP/IP set of protocols – TCP (Transmission Control Protocol, (UDP
(User Datagram Protocol), IP (Internet Protocol), ICMP (Internet Control message Protocol). The
converter also has TELNET service for remote configuration and monitoring.
With the aid of the built-in SNMP agent identification of the device on the SNMP
managed equipment networks with standard management platforms i.e. HP OpenView and it is
also possible to view the device’s MIB bases elements.
The unit’s MIB base is compliant with RFC 1213 requirements.
The converter also supports a proprietary LANWIN – LNMP as application management
protocol.

1. Power status signaling diode
2. RS-232 monitoring and control connector
3. Group of panel light indicators signaling statuses detected by the E3 interface:
• LOS – Loss Of Signal
• LOL – Loss Of Lock – loss of the recovered clock’s frequency ability
• ERR – Error – higher bit error rate than 10-6 and 10-3
• TXD – Transmission of Data to WAN
• RXD – Receiving of Data from WAN
4. Group of panel light indicators signaling statuses detected by the Ethernet interfaces:
• LNK/ACT – loss of received signal/link activity; the indicator light on when there is no
loss of Ethernet signal, blinks when data is being transmitted
• 10/100 – 10BaseT/100BaseTX; diode lights for 100Base-TX
• FD/COL – full duplex/half duplex (collision signal); the indicator light on for full duplex
and blinks when a collision occurs
