Introduction
The 16 Slots intelligent converter chassis is a combination of 16-slot host
cabinet and several of optional media converter bracket modules. A maximum
16-bracket module can be installed in the cabinet with two redundant power
supplies. The Power supply supports AC input type with load sharing
redundant feature. The converter supports TS-1000 standard that provides
loop back test to ensure the converter failure and remote configuration that
allows remote set-up for the module of the converter or the converter.
With build-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring the 16 Slots
intelligent converter chassis becomes easier. Users can visually configure and
manage their network via the Web browser. Besides, the 16 Slots intelligent
converter chassis can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or third-party
SNMP Management.

Management Methods
The 16 Slots intelligent converter chassis supports 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 that requires a
direct connection between PC and the Device. Once the Device is on the
network, you can use Telnet program to Log in and modify the configuration.
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 16 Slots intelligent converter chassis provides an embedded HTML web
program in flash memory. It offers advanced management features and allows
users to manage the 16 Slots intelligent converter chassis from anywhere on
the network through any HTTP browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
For more information, please see the section of Web-Based Management.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a way to monitor and
control network device, such as configurations, statistic collection, performance,
and security.
Data is collected by SNMP agents, which are hardware & software processes
reporting activity in each network device. The agent reports information
contained in a MIB format (Management Information Base), which is a data
structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be
controlled.

Connecting to the Network
This chapter provides the installation procedure.
Pre-Installation Requirements
Before to start hardware installation, make sure the installation environment
has following items:
PCs with 10/100Base-TX Ethernet cards: The PC must have a standard
Ethernet interface to connect with the Device.
UTP/STP cable with RJ-45 connector: Check the cable and connectors
work properly.
Fiber cable with SC/ST/MT-RJ/VF-45 connector: Check the cable and
connector types are correct.
A power outlet: 100 to 240V AC at 50 to 60 Hz. Make sure that the
Device power is accessible and cables 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 amount of electromagnetic interference
around.
Mounting tools: If user intends to mount the device on a rack, make sure
have all the tools, such as mounting brackets and screws.
Mounting the Device
The 16 Slots intelligent converter chassis is suitable for an office environment
where it can be rack-mounted in standard EIA 19-inch racks or standalone.

11
Desktop Installation
Set the device on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. And,
the surface where user put the device should be clean, smooth, level, and
sturdy. Please make sure there is enough spacing around the device to allow
attaching of cables, power cord and air circulation.
Attaching Rubber Pads
1. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the device is grease and dust
free
2. Remove adhesive backing from Rubber Pads
3. Apply the Rubber Pads to each corner on the bottom of the device. (These
footpads can prevent the device from shock/vibration.)
Attaching Rubber Pads to each corner of the Device’s bottom
Rack Mounting
The 16 Slots intelligent converter chassis come with a rack-mounted kit and
can be mounted in an EIA standard size/19-inch Rack. Perform the following
steps for rack mounting the device:
1. Position one bracket to align with the holes on the side of the device and
secure it with the bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the
other side of the Device.

12
Attach mounting brackets with screws
2. After attached both mounting brackets, position the device in the rack by
lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack.
Securing the device to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting
screws.
Mount the converter chassis 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 Device. This is especially
important for enclosed rack installations.
Power On
After all network cables are connected, plug the power cord into the power
socket on the back panel and the other end into a power outlet, and then turn

13
the power switch on.
Check the front panel Power indicator to see if power is properly supplied. The
device with the universal power supply, so there is no more adjustment
needed.
Diagnostic Test
After the installation is completed and AC power is applied to the device
properly, the system will automatically perform a diagnostic testing. When the
Power LED is on within 4 seconds, the CPU Ready LED will become “Blink”
and then the system is ready. On the other hand, if the CPU LED always light
on, it means system crash.
Connecting the Device via Local console or Telnet
The serial console port is a male DB-9 connector that enables the connection
from PC or terminal for monitoring and configuring the Device.
Use the supplied RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector to link the
terminal or PC to the console port.(The terminal or PC must support the
terminal emulation program)
For the telnet management, user has to set the device IP address that the
same network class with PC’s. (For example; it factory default IP address is
192.168.1.77, then the PC IP address should be 192.168.1.156)
Default login user name: root
Default login password: root

14
Connecting the Device to a terminal via RS-232 cable
After connected to the Console port, turn the PC or terminal on and configure
its communications parameters 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
The setting of communication parameters
Run Hyper Terminal or a terminal emulation program using the above settings
for Console Management. After user has finished parameter settings, press
Enter and key the login username and password. The default login username
and password both is “root”. After authentication, enter “m” to enter main
menu.
