Installing the Intelligent Media Converter Modules
• The LE7501A Management Module can only be installed in the far right-hand slot. See diagram.
• Intelligent “redundant twister” ™ modules have DIP switches that must be set prior to installation. Refer to the Intelligent Media Converter
“redundant twister” Module Installation & User Guide for more details.
• Intelligent “redundant twister” F/O modules require two slots.
• Modules must be firmly secured to the chassis before network connections are made.
Follow the simple steps outlined below:
1. Grasp a module by the front panel as shown and insert into a slot making sure that both the top and bottom of the card edges are lined up with the top and bottom card guides.
2. Slide the module in until the top and bottom edges of the front panel are flush and even with the top and bottom edges of the chassis and secure to the chassis by turning the thumb screw clockwise until snug.

These modules incorporate three ports: a MAIN, a PRIMARY and a
SECONDARY port. Full redundant data paths are provided between the
PRIMARY and the SECONDARY ports.
LED Operation:
• PWR: normal operation
• SW: SECONDARY port active at some point; functions in
Dynamic Recovery Mode only
• SECONDARY: port is active (PRIMARY is inactive)
• (MAIN) LK: valid link indication
• (MAIN) AT: receiving data
• (PRIMARY) LK: valid link indication
• (PRIMARY) AT: receiving data
• (SECONDARY) LK: valid link indication
• (SECONDARY) AT: receiving data
MDI-II to MDI-X Switch: MDI-II (default)
DIP Switch Settings:
• TX Switch UP: data from the MAIN port is transmitted simultaneously on the PRIMARY and SECONDARY ports; data from the active port
(PRIMARY or SECONDARY) is transmitted on the MAIN port. NOTE: the Link Switch must also be UP in order to send data out the inactive port.
• TX Switch DOWN (default): data from MAIN port is transmitted on active port only.
• AUTO Switch UP: module automatically reverts back to the PRIMARY port when the primary link is re-established.
• AUTO Switch DOWN (default): once the SECONDARY port has become active, the module will not revert back to the PRIMARY port when the primary link is re-established, unless the SECONDARY link is absent.
• LINK Switch UP: module sends link on both the PRIMARY and SECOND-
ARY ports; the end station connected to the module sees a valid link state.
• LINK Switch DOWN (default): module sends link on the active port only; the end station connected to the module sees a valid link state only if the port on the module is active.
• LLCF Switch UP: Link Loss Carry Forward is enabled.
• LLCF Switch DOWN (default): Link Loss Carry Forward is disabled.
• RED Switch UP (default): redundancy is enabled; Operates in Dynamic
Recovery Mode (DRM).
• RED Switch DOWN: redundancy is disabled; Network Select Mode (NSM) is enabled. NOTE: In this mode the reset push button toggles the active port between A and B for each switch closure. The AUTO switch sets the initial active port on power up: UP for SECONDARY; DOWN for
PRIMARY. The SW LED remains OFF in NSM.
DIP switches can be managed with console commands or with NetBeacon ™
Management Software. Refer to the Intelligent Media Converter ™ Command
Line Interface Guide, or the NetBeacon ™ Management Software
Installation & User Guide for software management information. For more information on the Intelligent “redundant twister” modules, refer to the
Intelligent Media Converter “redundant twister” ™ Installation & User
Guide.
IMPORTANT: When setting DIP Switches: UP is furthest from the circuit board.
DOWN is closest to the circuit board.
