Introduction
1.1 Briefing
The Intelligent Media Converter Chassis WMC-1600R series provides 16-slot and one
management system in the 19”-rack chassis. The management function enable network
administrator to monitor the media converter connection status and configure the
converter via SNMP agent, Telnet and Web remotely or via RS-232 console port, yet eases
the maintenance of media conversion.
The WMC-1600R series media converter chassis allows the connectivity of up to sixteen
PLANET Smart Fast / Gigabit Ethernet Converter in one chassis. With the independent
power supply on each slot of the WMC-1600R series, you can freely install or remove the
converters without interrupting the rest of the networks. Moreover, it’s very flexible that
each bay of the media converter chassis can be deployed with PLANET’s smart media
converter family. Redundant power supply is also provided to enhance the reliability with
option of either 100~240V AC power or -48V DC power.
1.2 Features
• High quality 19” Rack-Mountable Chassis installation
• Supports up to sixteen slide-in modular media converters hot-swappable
• Two power slots for redundant power support with options of 100~240V AC or -48V DC
• Reduce the effort of converter maintenance and management, diagnose the status at one
time
• Two fans brings the air-flow for system cooling, and LED indicators for system and fan
status
• Bay power isolation ensure each bay is electrically isolated from each other
• Support PLANET smart series Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter
• One 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet port and one RS-232 port for management
• Configurable through console, Telnet and Web and SNMP
• Provide the status of power, fan and converters with SNMP trap function for any chassis and
connectivity events.

This User’s Manual
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.
2.2 Installation
The site where you place the chassis system may greatly affect its performance. When
installing, take the following into your consideration:
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected
to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site
you select should meet the following requirements:
- The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40
degrees Celsius).
- The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non?condensing.
- Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC)
standards for IEC 801?3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
- Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation at the rear. Do not block the
fan exhaust holes on the rear of the chassis.
- The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the chassis.
2.3 Deciding How to Install the System
We strongly suggest that you install the chassis first, as this is more convenient for you
to install media converters into the chassis with ease. The accessories supplied in the
product package include: rack-mount screws (8 pcs) and rack-mount brackets (2 pcs).
This well-built chassis can be installed in the following ways:
3
2.3.1 Mounted to 19-inch standard rack
Use the rack-mount brackets and screws to install the chassis into any EIA 19" standard
rack.
Step 1: Attach the brackets to each side of the chassis. Apply four screws to each side
and secure them tightly.
Step 2:
Carefully position the chassis into the rack. Align the brackets to the side
holes on the rack and use rack screws to secure the chassis with the rack.
Step 3:
Proceed to the “Connecting to Power” section.
2.3.2 Installing Media Converter
The chassis is equipped with sixteen media converter carriers, each of which is fitted into
bays of the chassis.
Step 1:
To install a media converter module onto the chassis, you have to unscrew the
bay cover from the desired bay first.
Step 2:
Unscrew the hand screw counter clockwise by using hand or screwdriver and
pull out the media converter out the carrier as shown below.
Unscrew the hand screw counter clockwise by
using hand or screwdriver and pull the media
converter module out on the carrier
4
Step 3:
Carefully slide in the module and fasten the hand screw
clockwise by
using hand or screwdriver until it is fully and firmly fitted into the slot of the
chassis.
Insert the media converter module
into an available slot and fasten the
hand screw clockwise by using hand or
screwdriver.
2.3.3 Connecting to Power (Power Supply)
The chassis ships with only one power supply, and a second power supply option is at
your discretion. When the chassis is equipped with two power supplies, you can have the
following advanced performance.
Hot Swappable –
The design of the power system is based on an idea of providing maximum flexibility and
redundancy. In this way, you may remove any of the two power supplies without turning
off the system.
Redundancy –
During operation, both power supplies are switched on and share the current load. In case
that one of them should fail, the other will instantaneously take 100% of the load without
any loss. Similarly, if one power supply is removed from servicing, it can be switched off
and removed while the chassis continues functioning.
Protection System –
The power of each converter bay comes from the two shared power supplies. Each bay is
isolated from each other under a certain protection mechanism, so that it is free from any
problem that might occur to the power supplies or faulty converter bay. This is the best
solution to protect your investment in media converters.
Note : There is an optional solution for the backup power, -48 volt DC to DC
Power Supply.
The chassis system is equipped with one power supply and allows one additional power
supply for redundancy. For reliable operation, we suggest that you run the chassis system
with two power supplies are in place.
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the back of the chassis.
Step 2: Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100~240
VAC.
Step 3: Turn on the chassis system by flipping the switch beside the receptacle to ON
position. The LED on the front panel of power supply will come on then.
5
2.3.4 Installing and Removing the Power Supply
To remove a power supply out the chassis, you have to loose the hand screw counter clockwise and
pull out the power supply from the chassis.
To install a power supply to the chassis, you have to fasten the hand screw clockwise and slide in the
power supply to the chassis.
You can slide in and out the power supply from the bay,
fasten or loose the hand screw clockwise or counter clockwise
by using hand or screwdriver.
Note: If the Chassis System needs to work alone, you can stick up four Rub-
ber foot below the chassis!
2.3.5 Power Notice:
1.The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If
your networks should active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted
Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network
downtime.
2.In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your switch
from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the media converter.
