The Ethernet over E1 converter offers a channelized E1 and 10/100Base-T interface conversion. It can
provide the user with Ethernet over E1 conversion enabling the user to transport Ethernet data over an E1
link.
It converts the Ethernet data into E1 frame format for transmission over the existing TDM (E1) links and then
re-converts the E1 back into Ethernet data the far-end terminal. The device can effectively utilize the
redundant bandwidth of telecom operators existing TDM network to transport Ethernet data with low
investment. It can enable you to do as:
(1) Bridging Ethernet LANs over existing TDM (E1) telecom network
(2) Extending Ethernet networks utilizing TDM (E1) landline based telecom infrastructure
Using telecom network of E1s/PDH/SDH microwave etc. carrying E1s to transport Ethernet data

The Ethernet over Serial converters connect serial based equipment across an Ethernet network.
Serial data sent and received on serial ports on the serial to Ethernet adapter are encapsulated in
Ethernet packets in a manner that can best fit the type of data being transported. It can enable you to do as:
(1) Serial cable replacement using Ethernet
(2) Bridging Ethernet LANs over existing Serial network
(3) A pair of this device can offer a cost effective solution for using existing V.35 leased lines for the
transparent Ethernet service.

The reset button can be used only in one of two ways.
(1) Press the Reset Button for one second will cause system reboot.
(2) Pressing the Reset Button for four seconds will cause the product loading the factory default setting
and losing all of yours configuration. When you want to change its configuration but forget the user name
or password, or if the product is having problems connecting to the Internet and you want to configure it
again clearing all configurations, press the Reset Button for four seconds with a paper clip or sharp
pencil.

The marked lug or terminal should be connected to the building protective earth bus.
The function of protective earth does not serve the purpose of providing protection against electrical shock,
but instead enhances surge suppression on the DSL lines for installations where suitable bonding facilities
exist.
The connector type is M3 machine screw.

Proscend Media Converter 500 presents a configuration system for users to modify their own media
converters. There are two methods to configure Proscend Media Converter 500:
1. By key pad
Users will be able to set a media converter up by the key pad on the right-hand side of a media
converter’s front panel. The following figure shows how the key pad looks like.
Key Pad
Description
Exit/-
Return to previous configuration menu.
Enter/+
Skip to next configuration menu or configure this item.
L
Select other parameter in the same level menu.
R Select other parameter in the same level menu.
2. By console
The other way to control the media converter is by a console port in the back of the converter. (Please
check the figure below to see the console port’s location.)
Once a user connects the converter to his or her computer, he or she can browse the configuration
system by a terminal emulation program, such as, Hyper Terminal.(In this user manual, Tera term is the
main application used.)
The following instructions guide users to access Proscend Media Converter 500 configuration system
through a terminal.

500 Media Converter User Manual Version 1.00

Step 1. Open a terminal and change its baud rate to 115200.
Step 2. Press space to allow the terminal to show login messages.
Step 3. The default user name is “admin” and its corresponding password is “admin”.
Step 4. Once a user logs in, he or she will see the main menu as the following figure. Then, the user
can change the converter’s setting with this configuration system.
In Proscend Media Converter 500 configuration system, there are seven major options: setup, status, show,
reboot, diagnosis, upgrade and exit. With these options, users are able to manage their converters, check
their status and upgrade their firmware versions. The following sections demonstrate users how to control
their converters by key pad and by console.

Users are able to change the interface of media converters by “Interface” function. There are two interface
options available for the converter: “ETH over E1” and “Serial over E1”.
Note: Choose “ETH over E1” to enable Ethernet parameter setups. Choose “Serial over E1” to enable Serial
parameter setups.
