Transceivers/Media Converters

Powering remote devices

Allied Telesis 200/2000 Series Industrial Media Converters (IMCs) are ideal for powering remote devices, such as IP phones, video cameras and wireless Access Points (APs), which are more than 100m from a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch. Each IMC can provide up to 60W of PoE.

The 2000T/SP and the 2000TP/SP each feature a 10/100/1000T twisted-pair port, and an SFP port which
supports and auto detects 100X and 1000X optics. No switch configuration is needed. Allied Telesis offers a wide variety of SFPs featuring multimode, single mode and BiDi optics.

Models with a fixed fiber-optic port are available with SC or LC connectors. With these, you can achieve distances up to 2 km (100Mps) or 550 m (1000Mps). With the SFP model, you can achieve greater distances using a long-range SFP.

In addition to transmitting data, the twisted-pair port also injects power down the cable, allowing a remote PoE powered device to operate without any additional power source. All PoE+ devices (IEEE802.3at compliant) are supported. All PoE+ devices support 802.3at, PoE+, LTPoE++ and 4-pair. The PC200x PoE+ Series can deliver up to 70W of power to the remote device.

Remote Power Cycle

The 200/2000 Series supports the Remote Power Cycle feature. When the fiber port is dropped, the TX PoE+ port cycles power. This allows a remote administrator to log in to a switch and disable the switch port to which the IMC is attached, which causes the PoE+ device to lose power. This allows administrators to reset remote devices without physically going to the location.

Jumbo frame support

Many backbone switch products support the industry-standard IEEE 802.1Q specification for Virtual LANs (VLANs) which sends extra-long data packets on the network. The 200/2000 Series are fully compatible with these long packets, enabling them to be used in modern networks.

Smart MissingLink™ (SML)

The SML feature monitors network connections and provides a notification when a link fails, allowing administrators to quickly identify the source and location of failed links, and thus minimize downtime.

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-Shamir Adleman (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.

Mini media converters offer a smaller size and smaller carbon footprint to help the environment and save space in the office.

Overview
The Allied Telesis MMC Series of mini media converters leverages its smaller size to not only help the environment with a small carbon footprint, but also to save space in its working environment. Despite its compact size, the MMC Series delivers all the power and functionality of standard size media converters.

Extend Networks
The MMC Series are available in 100Mbps or 1000Mbps models. Depending on the model chosen, the fiber-optic port has options for fixed SC, ST, LC or SFP connectors capable of multi-mode or single-mode fiber connectivity. The twisted-pair copper port has an RJ-45 connector supporting either 100Mbps or 1000Mbps, with a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).

VLAN Support
Many new backbone switch products now support the industry-standard IEEE 802.1Q specification for Virtual LANs (VLANs) that send extra-long data packets on the network. The MMC Series are fully compatible with these long packets, enabling them to be used in modern networks. Media converters not supporting this feature discard these extra long packets, making them unsuitable for modern networks.

Small and Flexible
The smaller size and external power supply of the MMC Series allows them to be used almost anywhere.

Smart MissingLink (SML)
The Smart MissingLink™ (SML) feature monitors network connections and provides notification when network segments fail, allowing network managers to quickly identify the source and location of failed segments and minimize downtime.

Smart Link Restoration
Smart Link restoration allows the devices, in cases of power failure, link loss or other interrupted service, to automatically restore the link without the need to restart/reset them.

Power Saving
The MMC Series continues the Allied Telesis commitment to the environment with over 50% power savings.2 With just 1.7W of power usage, the MMC Series media converters are some of the most efficient in the market today.

Link Test
The link test is a fast and easy way for you to test the connections between the media converter ports and the connected end nodes. If a network problem occurs, you can perform a link test to determine which port is experiencing a problem, and focus your troubleshooting efforts on the right cable or end node.
