The iConverter T1/E1 managed media converters are members of the modular iConverter product family. They provide T1/E1 copper to fiber conversion.

iConverter T1/E1 models are available with multimode, single-mode and single-fiber options. The Small Form Pluggable (SFP) model supports a wide variety of SFP transceivers. The copper interface features an RJ48 connector for balanced T1/E1 applications, and models featuring coaxial BNC connectors are available for unbalanced E1 applications.

The iConverter T1/E1 features user-selectable Local Loopback, Force 1's to Copper, Force 1's to Fiber, and Fiber Optic Test modes to facilitate quick fault detection, isolation and reporting.

iConverter T1/E1 modules are hot-swappable and can be mounted in a 19-Module (2U high) or 5-Module (1U high) rack-mountable chassis (19-inch or 23-inch) with any combination of redundant AC, 24VDC or 48VDC power supplies. It can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or 18 to 60VDC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module AC/DC powered chassis.

The iConverter family of managed fiber access media converters are used in Service Provider access networks and Enterprise LANs. iConverter media converters provide fiber connectivity with copper to fiber, multimode fiber to single-mode fiber, or dual fiber to single-fiber conversions.

Management

Management is accomplished by using a Network Management Module (NMM) or a media converter with integrated management (such as an iConverter 10/100M2) that provides monitoring, remote configuration and trap notification. The management module can be accessed via SNMP, Telnet and via a serial port. The SNMP-based management is accomplished via Omnitron's intuitive, graphic-oriented NetOutlook management software or third party SNMP management software, while the Telnet and the serial interfaces have an easy-to-use, menu-driven interface.

Some of the real-time T1/E1 parameters that can be monitored include power, link and data receive status. Other parameters include module type and model, hardware and software revisions, serial numbers and a user-defined identifier.

The user can override the T1/E1 module's physical DIP-switch settings by using SNMP or Telnet to remotely configure DIP-switch-selectable parameters such as line settings and loopback control.

In addition to all standard iConverter SNMP traps such as module insertion and removal, the T1/E1 modules can generate traps on port state changes including link-up and link-down. Trap monitoring of specific events can be selectively enabled or disabled by the network administrator.

For wide temperature (-40 to 60º C), add a "W" to the end of the model number.
Consult factory for extended temperature (-40 to +75º C) models.
When using single-fiber (SF) media converter models, the Tx wavelength on one end has to match the Rx wavelength on the other.
*A minimum of 3dB of attenuation is required for these models.
**See SFP data sheet under Fast Ethernet for supported transceiver models.
