AT-MCF2000
Multi-channel 2 slot modular chassis
AT-MCF2300
Multi-channel 4 slot modular chassis
Overview
The AT-MCF2x00 multi-channel modular media
chassis is a high performance, highly available,
high channel density media device. Designed for
maximum reliability, the fan modules, power
supplies and the management module can all be
hot removed and inserted without any
interruption to traffic flow on any of the blades.
Up to two media blades can be inserted into
the AT-MCF2000 chassis and up to four media
blades into the AT-MCF2300 chassis, providing a
scalable ‘pay-as-you-grow’ architecture.This is
further extended by stacking multiple chassis,
with one management module controlling a
complete stack, or with two management
modules, with the second providing redundant
management*.

Extend the Distance of Ethernet
The primary function of the AT-MCF2x00 multi-
channel modular media chassis is to extend the
distance of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet*
networks. Standard Twisted Pair Cat 5/6 copper
cabled Ethernet networks have a maximum
operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
Depending on the media blade model, the
blades operate over both multi-mode or single-
mode fiber at distances up to 15km in either
half or full-duplex operation.

Flexible Management
Cost conscious and security conscious network
administrators may choose to implement an
unmanaged network using the AT-MCF2x00.
With no management module installed in the
chassis, each port on a blade can be locally
configured using a ‘jog’ button located on the
front panel of the blade.This allows each port
to be independently configured to operate in
Link, MissingLink

modes.
Installing a management module into the chassis
allows the chassis to be configured and
monitored via a local RS232 port, or through
the 10/100/1000T interface for Telnet or SNMP.
For security reasons, each management mode
can be individually disabled. In Telnet mode, up
to 10 user password protected accounts can be
configured, each with multiple management
privileges ranging from read only to supervisor
access.
