Overview

Introduction

The CSM-400 Series is an Ethernet to optical-fiber media converter and

is part of the NRack System. It provides Ethernet media conversion

from 10/100 BaseT(X)-to-100 BaseFX (SC or ST connectors), and it can

be installed in every chassis of the NRack System.

The CSM-400 Series includes the following models:

•CSM-400-1213: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in

management module converter, multimode ST connector

•CSM-400-1214: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in

management module converter, multimode SC connector

•CSM-400-1218: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in

management module converter, single-mode SC connector

•CSM-400-1224: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in

management module converter, WDM-A single-mode SC connector

•CSM-400-1225: 10/100BaseT(X)-to-100BaseFX slide-in

management module converter, WDM-B single-mode SC connector

Installation

The CSM-400 media converter slide-in module can be hot-swapped,

which means the chassis does not need to be powered off or removed

during installation. Align the slide-in module with the chassis

installation slot so that the panel fastener screw is at the top of the

module and carefully slide the slide-in module into the slot while

aligning the module’s circuit board with the installation guide.

Ensure that the slide-in module is firmly seated inside the chassis. Push

in and rotate the attached panel fastener screw clockwise to secure the

module to the chassis.

Why Convert Ethernet to Fiber?

Fiber communication not only extends the communication distance, but

also provides many advantageous features.

•IMMUNITY FROM ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE:

Fiber is not affected by electromagnetic interference or radio

frequency interference. It provides a clean communication path and

is immune to cross-talk.

•INSULATION:

Optical fiber is an insulator; the glass fiber eliminates the need for

using electric currents as the communication medium.

•SECURITY:

Fiber cannot be tapped by conventional electric means and is very

difficult to tap into optically. Furthermore, radio and satellite

communication signals can be captured easily for decoding.

•RELIABILITY & MAINTENANCE:

Fiber is immune to adverse temperature and moisture conditions,

does not corrode or lose its signal, and is not affected by short

circuits, power surges, or static electricity.

Electrostatic Discharge Warning!

To protect the product from damage due to electrostatic

discharge, we recommend wearing a grounding device when

handling your CSM-400 slide-in modules.

Communication Connections

The CSM-400 Series has one 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet port, and one

100BaseFX (SC or ST type connector) fiber port.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports located on CSM-400 are used to

connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.

Below, we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X

(HUB/Switch-type) ports, and also show cable-wiring diagrams for

straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables.

100BaseFX Fiber Port Connection

The concept behind the fiber port and cable is quite straightforward.

Suppose you are connecting devices I and II. Contrary to electrical

signals, optical signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data.

Consequently, one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from

device I to device II, and the other optical line is used transmit data

from device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.

All you need to remember is to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device

I to the Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of

device I to the Tx (transmit) port of device II.

If you are making your own cable, we suggest labeling the two sides of

the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown below,

or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection

The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the Moxa CSM-

400’s 10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without

needing to determine the type of Ethernet cable being used for the

connection.

This means that you can use either a straight-through cable or

crossover cable to connect the CSM-400 Series to Ethernet devices.

Dual Speed Functionality and Switching

The Moxa CSM-400’s 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port auto negotiates

with the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate

supported by both devices. All models of the CSM-400 Series are plug-

and-play devices, so that software configuration is not required at

installation, or during maintenance. The half/full duplex mode for the

RJ45 Ethernet ports is user dependent and changes (by auto-

negotiation) to full or half duplex, depending on which transmission

speed is supported by the attached device.

Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing

All of the CSM-400’s RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support auto-

negotiation for 10BaseT and 100BaseTX transmission speeds, with

operation according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.

This means that some nodes could be operating at 10 Mbps, while at

the same time other nodes are operating at 100 Mbps.

Auto-negotiation takes place when an RJ45 cable connection is made,

and then each time a LINK is enabled. Moxa’s CSM-400 advertises its

capability for using either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps transmission speeds,

with the device at the other end of the cable expected to advertise

similarly. Depending on what type of device is connected, this will

result in agreement to operate at a speed of either 10 Mbps or 100

Mbps.

If a Moxa CSM-400 RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a non-

negotiating device, it will default to 10 Mbps speed and half-duplex

mode, as required by the IEEE 802.3u standard.
