Overview
Introduction
The CSM-400 Series is an Ethernet to optical-fiber media converter and
is part of the NRack System. It provides Ethernet media conversion
from 10/100 BaseT(X)-to-100 BaseFX (SC or ST connectors), and it can
be installed in every chassis of the NRack System.
The CSM-400 Series includes the following models:
•CSM-400-1213: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in
management module converter, multimode ST connector
•CSM-400-1214: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in
management module converter, multimode SC connector
•CSM-400-1218: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in
management module converter, single-mode SC connector
•CSM-400-1224: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in
management module converter, WDM-A single-mode SC connector
•CSM-400-1225: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in
management module converter, WDM-B single-mode SC connector
Installation
The CSM-400 media converter slide-in module can be hot-swapped,
which means the chassis does not need to be powered off or removed
during installation. Align the slide-in module with the chassis
installation slot so that the panel fastener screw is at the top of the
module and carefully slide the slide-in module into the slot while
aligning the module’s circuit board with the installation guide.
Ensure that the slide-in module is firmly seated inside the chassis. Push
in and rotate the attached panel fastener screw clockwise to secure the
module to the chassis.
Why Convert Ethernet to Fiber?
Fiber communication not only extends the communication distance, but
also provides many advantageous features.
•IMMUNITY FROM ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE:
Fiber is not affected by electromagnetic interference or radio
frequency interference. It provides a clean communication path and
is immune to cross-talk.
•INSULATION:
Optical fiber is an insulator; the glass fiber eliminates the need for
using electric currents as the communication medium.
•SECURITY:
Fiber cannot be tapped by conventional electric means and is very
difficult to tap into optically. Furthermore, radio and satellite
communication signals can be captured easily for decoding.
•RELIABILITY & MAINTENANCE:
Fiber is immune to adverse temperature and moisture conditions,
does not corrode or lose its signal, and is not affected by short
circuits, power surges, or static electricity.

Electrostatic Discharge Warning!
To protect the product from damage due to electrostatic
discharge, we recommend wearing a grounding device when
handling your CSM-400 slide-in modules.
Communication Connections
The CSM-400 Series has one 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet port, and one
100BaseFX (SC or ST type connector) fiber port.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports located on CSM-400 are used to
connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.
Below, we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X
(HUB/Switch-type) ports, and also show cable-wiring diagrams for
straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables.

100BaseFX Fiber Port Connection
The concept behind the fiber port and cable is quite straightforward.
Suppose you are connecting devices I and II. Contrary to electrical
signals, optical signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data.
Consequently, one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from
device I to device II, and the other optical line is used transmit data
from device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.
All you need to remember is to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device
I to the Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of
device I to the Tx (transmit) port of device II.
If you are making your own cable, we suggest labeling the two sides of
the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown below,
or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the Moxa CSM-
400’s 10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without
needing to determine the type of Ethernet cable being used for the
connection.
This means that you can use either a straight-through cable or
crossover cable to connect the CSM-400 Series to Ethernet devices.
Dual Speed Functionality and Switching
The Moxa CSM-400’s 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port auto negotiates
with the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate
supported by both devices. All models of the CSM-400 Series are plug-
and-play devices, so that software configuration is not required at
installation, or during maintenance. The half/full duplex mode for the
RJ45 Ethernet ports is user dependent and changes (by auto-
negotiation) to full or half duplex, depending on which transmission
speed is supported by the attached device.
Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing
All of the CSM-400’s RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support auto-
negotiation for 10BaseT and 100BaseTX transmission speeds, with
operation according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.
This means that some nodes could be operating at 10 Mbps, while at
the same time other nodes are operating at 100 Mbps.
Auto-negotiation takes place when an RJ45 cable connection is made,
and then each time a LINK is enabled. Moxa’s CSM-400 advertises its
capability for using either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps transmission speeds,
with the device at the other end of the cable expected to advertise
similarly. Depending on what type of device is connected, this will
result in agreement to operate at a speed of either 10 Mbps or 100
Mbps.
If a Moxa CSM-400 RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a non-
negotiating device, it will default to 10 Mbps speed and half-duplex
mode, as required by the IEEE 802.3u standard.
