Rack & Cabling

Allied Telesis Converteon™ is an end- to-end managed media conversion system. The cornerstone of the system is the 2U high, 18-slot chassis. Converteon is capable of meeting the most demanding needs, with blades available in Fast Ethernet and Gigabit converting rate and media from Fiber to Copper. A one-slot and two-slot chassis is also available for remote locations where an 18-slot chassis is not needed. Support for IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) makes Converteon ideal for both service providers and the Enterprise.

Power Options and Redundancy
All the sold-separately Converteon power supplies are hot swappable and modular. Installing two into a chassis provides redundancy should a single power supply fail. In an unmanaged chassis, the status of each power supply is displayed via an LED indicator on the front panel. A fully-loaded chassis can run continuously with only one power module fitted into the chassis. Built-in intelligent fan speed auto adjustment algorithm is based on the chassis temperature monitoring.Software generates SNMP trap when chassis temperature exceeds 65o C. Software also generates SNMP trap when FAN speed is below 2647 RPM and temperature exceeds 65oC.

The Allied Telesis MCF3300 is a 1RU three-blade chassis able to support up to 24 media conversions, dependent on connector type. The MCF3300 is powered by hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies, which allows for flexibility amongst connection types and speeds. At 1RU high, it is the industry's smallest form factor model for up to 24 media conversions.

Overview

The Allied Telesis MCF3300 has different blade options enabling customers to mix environments.

MCF3000/8SP

8 x 100/1000Mb SFP to 10/100/1000T

MCF3000/8LC

8 x 1000SX/LC to 10/100/1000T

MCF3010T/4SP

4 x SFP+ to 10/100/1G/2.5G/5G/10GT

The MCF3000/8SP accepts 100Mb or 1G SFPs allowing backwards compatibility for older networks. With 10G blades, capable of accepting 1G or 10G SFPs coming shortly after release, the MCF3300 will be able to handle the most robust conversion needs.

Managed Media Conversion

The management function allows network administrators to monitor Media Converter status and configure the MCF3300 remotely via Web Browser, Telnet, SSH or Console Port. This product is ideal for telecommunications and corporate applications, where a number of fiber links need to be managed and controlled from a central location.

Security Features

Robust security features allow you to control user access to the chassis, to ensure that only authorized personnel can view and change the settings of the slide-in modules.

• Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be configured to allow access to authorized users and deny access to all others.
• Management VLAN: the chassis uses system-assigned VLANs on the blades. No blade traffic is routed to the management card. This keeps management traffic separate from data traffic. DHCP is supported to obtain an IP address on the management card.
• Secure Shell (SSH) authentication supports both Rivest-ShamirAdleman (RSA) and Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) for public key cryptography, for both connection and authentication.

SNMPv3

SNMPv3 is derived from and builds upon SNMPv1 & SNMPv2c. This technology provides commercial-grade security and ease of administration, which includes authentication, authorization, access control, and privacy. The secure management of SNMPv3 provides security with authentication and privacy. Its administration offers logical contexts, view-based access control, and remote configuration.

SNMPv3 supports authentication and encryption. SNMPv3 uses UserBased Security Model (USM) for authentication and message security, and View-Based Access Control Model (VACM) for access control rules.

Power distribution chassis for up to 18 independently operating, unmanaged, bridging media converters.
