iConverter T1/E1
User Manual
Product Overview
The iConverter T1/E1 media converter provides standard T1 (1.544Mbps) or E1
(2.048Mbps) copper to ber conversion and can be used to extend the demarcation
point between service provider and networking equipment. T1/E1 media converters
operate in pairs, extending distances over ber, which improves noise immunity, quality
of service, intrusion protection and network security.
The T1/E1 supports Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, enabling adaptability to
different ber types, distances and wavelengths, providing maximum exibility across
a variety of network architectures and topologies.
Management of the plug-in module is accomplished by using a M2/M3/M4 series
Management Module, such as an iConverter NMM2, GXTM2, GM3 or GM4. Management
provides monitoring, conguration and trap notication.
Installation Procedure
1) Congure DIP-Switches
2) Install Module in the Chassis and Connect Cables
3) Verify Operation
1) CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES
Front Panel DIP-Switches
Front Panel DIP-Switch Location
SW1 - LOCAL DUAL LOOPBACK “LOOP”
When this DIP-switch is set to the “Loop” position, it sets the module to a dual loopback
mode on both the ber and copper connections. By returning the DIP-switch to the
“Norm” position, the module resumes normal operation.

SW2 - FIBER OPTIC TEST “FOT”
This DIP-switch will allow the entire ber segment to be tested at either of the modules
without having to set DIP-switches on both modules. When this DIP-switch is set to
“FOT”, the local module (the module with the DIP-switch in the “FOT” position) is switched
into local loopback mode. In addition to the local loopback mode of operation, the ber
TX port is encoded to carry a remote loopback protocol. This remote loopback protocol
sets the remote module at the other end of the ber link to a remote loopback mode
of operation and returns a signal to the local module. A slow blinking “Tst” LED on the
local module and a fast blinking “Tst” LED on the remote module shows conrmation
that the ber segment is communicating properly between devices. By returning the
DIP-switch to the “Norm” position, the module resumes normal operation.

SW3 - FORCE 1S TO FIBER “FO1”
When this DIP-switch is set to the “FO1” position, an “all ones” pattern is inserted
into the data stream being transmitted out of the ber port on the module. Data being
received on the coax or twisted pair is disabled and data being received on the ber
is passed through to the coax or twisted pair side. By returning the DIP-switch to the
“Norm” position, the module resumes normal operation.
SW4 - FORCE 1S TO COAX OR UTP “Cu1”
When this DIP-switch is set to the “Cu1” position, an “all ones” pattern is inserted
into the data stream being transmitted out of the coax or twisted pair port on the
module. Data being received on the ber will be disabled and data being received on
the coax or twisted pair is passed through to the ber side. By returning the DIP-switch
to the “Norm” position, the module resumes normal operation.
SW1 AND SW2 - AMI/B8ZS/HDB3 MODE
B8ZS (T1) or HDB3 (E1) is the default line encoding mode of operation. To select
AMI mode, enable both the Local Dual Loopback “Loop” and Fiber Optic Test “FOT”
DIP-switches on the front of the module.
PUSH BUTTON - MANUAL CROSSOVER “= / X”
The Manual Crossover “= / X” button located on the front panel is used to eliminate the
need for crossover and custom cables when connecting devices to the RJ-45/48 port.
When the button is in the out “=” position, the port is congured for a straight-through
cable. When the button is in the in “X” position, the port is congured for a crossover
cable. The twisted pair connection requires two active pairs in a T1/E1 environment.
The active pairs are pins 1 & 2 and pins 4 & 5. Only dedicated wire pairs should be
used for the active pins.
On Board DIP-Switches
Board Mounted DIP-Switches
ON and OFF refer to the direction for the settings. Setting the switch to ON would set
the switch towards the edge of the board. Setting the switch to OFF would set the
switch towards the center of board.
T1/E1 Copper Line Conguration Settings
The T1/E1 copper line codes and line lengths are congured using board mounted
DIP-switches. The default setting is all OFF.

2) INSTALL MODULE IN CHASSIS AND CONNECT CABLES
a. Carefully slide the module into an open slot in the chassis. Align the module with
the installation guides and ensure that the module is rmly seated against the
backplane. Secure the module by fastening the front panel thumbscrew (push in and
turn clockwise to tighten) to the chassis front. Verify the “Pwr” LED is ON (indicating
the chassis/module is powered).
b. When using the SFP model (8719-0 or 8739-0), insert the SFP ber transceiver into
the SFP receptacle on the T1/E1 converter (see the SFP Data Sheet 091-17000-001
for supported 100M transceivers).
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed
(up) position before insertion.
c. Connect to the RJ-45/48 connector on the module via a Category 3 or better cable
(Category 5 is recommended), and attach the other end to the network equipment.
d. Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode ber cable to the ber port of the
installed module. It is important to ensure that the transmit (TX) is attached to the
receive side of the device at the other end and the receive (RX) is attached to the
transmit side. Single-ber (SF) media converter models operate in pairs. The TX
wavelength must match the RX wavelength at the other end and the RX wavelength
must match the TX wavelength at the other end.

3) VERIFY OPERATION
Once the module has been installed and congured per steps 1 and 2, verify the module
is operational by viewing the LED indicators.
The Power LED indicates the module is receiving power.
The Fiber Optic link LED indicates the ber optic connection has been established.
The UTP LED indicates a T1/E1 signal has been detected.
If the Fiber Optic LED is blinking, the port is receiving an all 1s signal. This will occur
if the UTP port is not connected.
