GSM1000 Gigabit Converter

1 – General Description
The GSM1000 Media Converter extends the distance of your LAN by converting a gigabit
Multimode (or Single Mode) into a GBE Single Mode signal transmission.
The device provides conversion from a MM (1000Base-SX) or SM (1000Base-LX) into a SM
(1000Base-LX) link allowing distance gain of up to120Km.
The GSM1000 through 1003 are suitable for point-to-point connectivity, whereas the GSM1004
-1009, GSM1016, GSM1018, GSM1020, and GSM1021 models allow extension, including
cascading long haul networks.
The GSM1000/MA&GSM1010/MA are another GSM1000 family products (remotely managed
devices) supporting the FibroLAN management MA™ technology.
Single Fiber Strand GSM1000 (20Km) and GSM1000/MA (20,40Km) are also available
The MA™ (Micro Agent) is an on chip management system enabling the management of remote
access devices,
eliminating
the need of a SNMP agent and IP address.
When the GSM1000/MA is connected through its F/O link to a remote Master Unit
(Access Concentrator normally located on the Access Node or Network Center) which is MA™
enabled and SNMP managed (FibroLAN
Metrostar™
, or S.CON1M/MA), a comprehensive set of
monitoring and control functions can be implemented from any management station (normally
located in the Master Unit) into the attached remote units (GSM1000/MA) or any FibroLAN
device supporting the MA™ technology.
Link Segmentation Test
(LST
) allows easy link test segmentation (inTest mode)
to locate a failed link segment, and in Fault Propagation mode (LST OFF) the disconnect of the
entire link segment ( if one of the F/O link is disrupted) and Network Device notification of the
link failure. A front panel LED will show the LST setting for each F/O port.
The GSM1000 family supports another unique outstanding feature:
SLE
(Subscriber Link Emulation) enabled through system management for GSM
enabled MA devices (GSM1000/MA and GSM1010/MA, refer to section 11 for details)
A Loop-Back mechanism on each F/O port simplifies troubleshooting during link problems.
