Introduction
The Raven Series Modular Media Converter System is a combination of
16-slot host cabinet and various optional media converter modules. A
maximum of sixteen modules can be installed in the cabinet. The power
supply will support AC or DC, with an optional matching power supply for
load sharing and redundancy.
Figure 1-1. The Raven Series Media Converter System
With built-in web-based Management, managing and configuring the
conversion system is simplified. The web browser may be used to
configure and manage the network, from cabinet level management to port
level control and monitoring. Use of a mouse replaces typing of command
strings. The switch can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or SNMP
Management.

Management Methods
The Raven Series Modular Media Converter System supports the following
management methods:
 Console and Telnet Management
 Web-based Management
 SNMP Network Management
Console and Telnet Management
Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port.
Managing the conversion system in this method requires a direct
connection between a PC and the built-in management module. Telnet
management requires a network connection. The default IP address is
192.168.1.77 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This default address
can be used to login and change the configuration using Telnet.
Web-based Management
The conversion system provides an embedded HTML web server residing
in flash memory. It offers advanced management features and allows
users to manage the conversion system from anywhere on the network
through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Netscape.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to
monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations,
statistic collection, performance, and security.
Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware & software
processes reporting activity in each network device, to the workstation
console used to oversee the network. The SNMP agents return information
contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data
structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be
controlled.

Rear Panel
The 3-pronged power plug and power on/off switch are located at the Rear
Panel of the Raven Series chassis, as shown in Figure 2-6. The equipment
will work with AC in the range 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz (AC type power
supply) or DC power in the range 40.5 ~57.0 @ 20A (DC type power
supply).
The conversion system ships standard with one power module and one fan
module. An additional power module unit is optional for load sharing and
redundancy.

LED Indicators
All LED status indicators are located on the front panel of the conversion
system. There are eight LED-indicators on the CPU Module and six
LED-indicators on each of the Fast Ethernet to Fiber converter modules.
The following tables provide descriptions of the LED statuses and meaning.
They provide a real-time indication of systematic operation status.

Connecting to the Network
Pre-Installation Requirements
You will need the following prior to installing the hardware:
• PC or Workstation with 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet card or RS-232
serial port: Your PC must have a standard Ethernet interface or Serial
port to connect to the Device.
• Ethernet UTP cable with RJ-45 connector or DB-9 RS-232 Serial
cable: Check if the cable and connectors work properly.
• A power outlet: 100 to 240V AC at 50 to 60 Hz or DC power.
Make sure that the Device power is accessible and power cords can be
connected easily.
• Dedicated power supply: Use dedicated power circuits or power
conditioners to supply reliable electrical power to the network devices.
• A dry cool place: Keep the Device away from moisture. Avoid direct
sunlight, heat source, and high amounts of electromagnetic
interference, all of which will adversely affect the performance of the
Device.
• Mounting tools: If you intend to mount the device on a rack, make sure
you have all the tools, mounting brackets, screws.
Mounting the Device
The Raven Series Modular Media Converter System is suitable for use in
an office environment where it can be rack-mounted in standard EIA
19-inch racks or used in a standalone configuration.

11
Desktop Installation
Set the conversion system on a sufficiently large flat space with a power
outlet nearby. The surface where you put your conversion system should
be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy. Provide enough clearance around the
conversion system to allow attachment of cables, power cord and air
circulation.
Attaching Rubber Feet
A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the conversion system is
grease and dust free.
B. Remove adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
C. Apply the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the conversion
system. These footpads can prevent the conversion system from
shock/vibration.
Figure 3-1. Attaching rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the conversion
system

12
Rack-mounted Installation
The Raven Series Media Converter System includes a rack-mount kit that
allows it to be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack.
Perform the following steps to rack mount the conversion system:
A. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the
conversion system and secure it with the bracket screws. Then attach
the remaining bracket to the other side of the conversion system.
Figure 3-2. Attach mounting brackets with screws

13
B. After attaching both mounting brackets, position the conversion
system in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the
appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the conversion system to the
rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws.
Figure 3-3. Mounting the Raven Series Media Converter System in an EIA
standard 19-inch Rack
Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance
on the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the conversion system.
This is especially important for enclosed rack installations.

14
Power On
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the
conversion system. Connect the other end of the cord to an appropriate
power outlet.
Press the power On/Off switch to the On position and check the power
indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.
Diagnostic Test
The system will automatically perform a diagnostic test once the
installation is completed and power is applied to the device.
When the Power LED is on for 4 seconds, the CPU Ready LED will begin
flashing, indicating the system is ready. If the CPU LED is a steady light,
the diagnostic test has failed. Contact MiLAN Technical Support for
assistance.

Network Configuration
Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port
The serial console port is a male DB-9 connector that enables a
connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuring the
conversion system.
Figure 4-1. Connecting the Raven Series Media Converter System to a terminal
via RS-232 cable
Use the supplied RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector to connect a
terminal or PC to the console port. The terminal or PC to be connected
must support a terminal emulation program.

16
After the connection between the conversion system and PC is finished,
turn on the PC or terminal and run a terminal emulation program or
Hyper Terminal to match the following default characteristics of the
console port:
Baud Rate: 9600 bps
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bit: 1
Parity: none
Flow control: None
Figure 4-2. The setting of communication parameters
In order to telnet from a directly connected PC to the Device, the IP
address of the PC must be in the same class as the Device. The default
IP address of the Device is 192.168.1.77, with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. A recommendation is to set the PC IP address to
192.168.1.156 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0. Then using a telnet
program on your PC telnet to address 192.168.1.77. The default user
name is root with the default password of root.
After you have entered the parameter settings, press the “ Enter “ Key and
the Main Menu of console management appears.
