About the PSE-McBasic

The PSE-McBasic functions as a fiber-to-twisted pair media converter, as well as a

802.3af-compliant, Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), delivering power to a Powered

Device (PD) through the UTP data cable. Deploying a PSE-McBasic media converter supporting the Power over Ethernet standard is the solution for both extending the access point from the network core as well as powering the end-device at the access point.

The PSE-McBasic is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet and

IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standards, performing a single conversion between

100Base-TX twisted pair and 100Base-FX multi-mode or single-mode fiber. Singlestrand fiber versions are also available. Each PSE-McBasic includes one RJ-45 connector for the twisted pair port and ST or SC connectors for the fiber port. The

PSE-McBasic is 1U high and includes diagnostic LEDs as well as a universal (100/240

V AC) power supply.

About Power over Ethernet and PSE

Power over Ethernet technology allows the PSE-McBasic to function as Power

Source Equipment (PSE) by distributing an electrical current across existing copper data cabling. If the connected unit requires power and is 802.3af compliant, the

PSE detects it and supplies power. LEDs on the PSE-McBasic indicate the amount of power being supplied to the Powered Device (PD) as well as if the PSE-McBasic is over temperature or over current or has an open circuit. PSE functionality is enabled by default.

NOTE

Although the PSE-McBasic automatically detects Powered Devices (PDs), and only supplies power when connected to an 802.3af-compliant PD, set the PSE switch to OFF when connecting to a non-802.3af-compliant device.

Installing the PSE-McBasic

While the PSE-McBasic comes ready to install, all configuration changes should be made after installation. To install the PSE-McBasic first make sure that it is placed on a suitably flat surface. Attach the cables between the PSE-McBasic and each device that will be interconnected. Then, plug it into a reliable, filtered power source.

INSTALLATION TIP

Several versions of the PSE-McBasic support single-strand fiber operation. Since

1

single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different wavelengths, deploy single-strand fiber products in pairs, or connect two compatible IMC Networks single-strand fiber products. For example, connect a

PSE-McBasic, TX/SSFX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to a product which has 1550 xmt and 1310 rcv, e.g. an iMcV-LIM, TX/SSFX-SM1550-

SC. The two connected products must also have the same speed and distance capabilities (i.e. both are single-mode [20km] or both are single/PLUS [40km]).

Configuring the PSE-McBasic

The PSE-McBasic features an 8-position DIP Switches, set after installation. Access these through a cut-out in the bottom of the unit. After configuring the DIP Switches, power cycle the PSE-McBasic for the changes to take effect. Default settings for the following features are shown to the right.

• Pulse (Pulsing FiberAlert)

• PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment)

• TX LL (TX LinkLoss)

• FX LL (FX LinkLoss)

• Auto Negotiation

• FA (FiberAlert)

Some switches are reserved for future development.

LinkLoss and FiberAlert

PSE-McBasic includes the troubleshooting features FiberAlert, TXLL and FXLL that help locate silent failures on a network. Before attempting to install the module(s), understand how these features work and react to specific network configurations.

** WARNING **

Installing modules without understanding the effects of LinkLoss and FiberAlert can cause functioning units to appear flawed or even non functional.

2

Link Integrity

During normal operation, link integrity pulses are transmitted by all point-to-point

Ethernet devices. When an IMC Networks media converter receives valid link pulses, it knows that the device to which it is connected is up and sending pulses, and that the copper or fiber cable coming from that device is intact. The appropriate “LNK”

(link) LED is lit to indicate this.

The IMC Networks media converter also sends out link pulses from its copper and fiber transmitters, but normally has no way of knowing whether the cable to the other device is intact and the link pulses are reaching the other end. The combination of

FiberAlert and LinkLoss allows this information to be obtained, even when physical access to a remote device (and its link integrity LED) is not available.

FX LinkLoss (FXLL)

FX LinkLoss is a troubleshooting feature. When a fault occurs on the fiber segment of a conversation, FX LinkLoss detects the fault and passes this information to the twisted pair segment. If a media converter is not receiving a fiber link, FX LinkLoss disables the transmitter on the media converter’s twisted pair port. This results in a loss of link on the device connected to the twisted pair port.

TX LinkLoss (TXLL)

TX LinkLoss is a troubleshooting feature. When a fault occurs on the twisted pair segment of a conversion, TX LinkLoss detects the fault and passes this information to the fiber segment. If a media converter is not receiving a twisted pair link, TX

LinkLoss disables the transmitter on the media converter's fiber port. The result is in a loss of the link on the device connected to the fiber port.

FiberAlert (FA)

FiberAlert minimizes the problems associated with the loss of one strand of fiber. If a strand is unavailable, the

IMC Networks device at the receiver end notes the loss of link. The device will then stop transmitting data and the link signal until a signal or link pulse is received. The result is that the link LED on BOTH sides of the fiber connection will go out indicating a fault somewhere in the fiber loop. Using FiberAlert, a local site administrator is notified of a fault and can quickly determine where a cable fault is located.

3

**WARNING**

Enable FiberAlert on one side of a media conversion only. Enabling it on both sides would keep both transmitters off indefinitely.

Using FiberAlert and LinkLoss

Modules ship from the factory with troubleshooting features disabled. Refer to the help file to enable/disable this feature.

Pulsing FiberAlert

Pulsing FiberAlert minimizes the problems associated with the loss of one strand of fiber. If a strand is unavailable, the IMC Networks device at the receiver end notes the loss of link. The device will stop transmitting data and start sending link pulses. Until a valid link is received, the fiber link LED will be OFF on the device on the receiver side of the fiber strand with the fault while the fiber Link LED on the other unit will blink. Pulsing FiberAlert notifies a local site administrator of a fault, allowing quick determination of where a cable fault resides.

NOTE

Pulsing FiberAlert can be enabled on BOTH sides of a conversion.

Auto Negotiation on PSE-McBasic

PSE-McBasic modules include the feature Auto Negotiation. When Auto Negotiation is enabled, the module negotiates as a 100 Mbps full-duplex device. If the connected device can operate at 100 Mbps full-duplex, a link is established. Auto

Negotiation (DIP Switch #1) is enabled by default.

If the twisted pair port on the other device does not have the ability to Auto

Negotiate or if the 100 Mbps half-duplex connection is desired, then Auto

Negotiation must be disabled. Half- and full-duplex settings must be set manually and match on does devices.

Installation Troubleshooting

To test the PSE-McBasic during installation, first test the fiber and twisted pair connections with all troubleshooting features disabled, then enable these features, if desired, just before final installation. This will reduce the features’ interference with testing.

When working with units whose features cannot be disabled, both twisted pair and fiber cables must be connected before the link LEDs will light.

To test a PSE-McBasic by itself, first verify that an appropriate fiber patch cable is being used. Then, follow these steps:

Step 1: Connect the PSE-McBasic to the twisted pair device with a twisted pair cable.

Step 2: Loop a single strand of fiber from the transmit port to the receive port of the PSE-McBasic.

Step 3: Verify that the twisted pair port and fiber port link.

Use the appropriate twisted pair cable, and have the crossover/pass-through switch set correctly.

If using a high powered device designed for long distance installations in a short distance installation, an optical attenuator may be needed to prevent data loss on a connection.

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines

Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.

1. Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems in an installation.

2. Dust caps are installed at IMC Networks to ensure factory-clean optical devices.

These protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable to the device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective dust caps.

3. Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box so that when reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.

4. If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between blasting with clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.

10

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to any product, add-in modules or stand alone units, containing electronic components. Always observe the following precautions when installing or handling these kinds of products

1. Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until ready to install.

2. Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component.

If the wrist strap is not available, maintain grounded contact with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.

3. Hold the units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold connectors.

4. After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, ESD pad or in a proper ESD bag. Do not slide the modules or stand alone units over any surface.

WARNING! Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are extremely susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage. Do not handle these components directly unless you are a qualified service technician and use tools and techniques that conform to accepted industry practices.
