Chapter 1 Introduction The 9E132-15, 9E133-36, 9E138-12, and 9E138-36 MicroLAN™ Switch Modules, shown in Figure 1-1, are four channel Ethernet bridges and routers. Up to three front panel Ethernet networks can be connected to this module and they can be bridged/routed to any other Ethernet segment and to any other SmartSwitch 9000 module via the FNB bus (acting as the fourth port).
Introduction The 9E138-36 provides 12 ST-type multi-mode fiber optic connections for each of the three channels, for a total of 36 connections. All ports function as repeaters for incoming data which retime and retransmit all packets. Bridging/Routing The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules provide Bridging/Routing between the front panel channels and/or to any other module in the chassis via FNB -1 or FNB -2 of the FNB bus. IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol is supported in all bridging functions.

Introduction Related Manuals The manuals listed below should be used to supplement the procedures and technical data contained in this manual.
Chapter 2 Installing the Modules The SmartSwitch 9000 module may be installed into any of the 14 slots that are available. To install, follow the steps below: 1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot that the module is being mounted in. All other slots must be covered, if modules are not being installed, to ensure proper airflow and cooling. 2. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.) 3.
Installing the Modules Plastic Tab Jack for ESD Wrist Strap Metal Back-Panel Module Module Guides Warning: Ensure that the circuit card is between the card guides. Lock down the top and bottom plastic tabs at the same time, applying even pressure. Figure 2-1.
Installing the Modules Installing EPIMs This section contains procedures on how to add/replace an Ethernet Port MicroLAN Module (EPIM). After installing the EPIM, refer to Appendix A to verify proper EPIM operation. Observe all static precautions while handling EPIMs. ! CAUTION EPIM Revisions Revision numbers are located on the EPIM’s Printed Circuit Board directly following the Part Number as shown in Figure 2-2. Table 2-1 lists the required board revision for each EPIM.
Installing the Modules Installing the EPIM To install an EPIM: NOTE When removing an EPIM, make sure to pull the module straight out so as not to damage the connector. 1. Remove the coverplate or the EPIM (whichever applies). 2. Slide your new EPIM into place, making sure the connectors on the rear of the module and inside the HUB attach properly. Refer to Figure 2-3. 3. Install the mounting screw. Mounting Screw EPIM Figure 2-3.
Installing the Modules The Reset Switch The Reset switch is located on the front panel, under the top plastic tab, as shown in Figure 2-4. (Under the right-side tab on the 9E138-36.) It serves two functions: • • Pressing the Reset switch twice within three seconds causes the processor (i960) to reset. Pressing and holding the switch on for three or more seconds causes the module to shutdown. Pressing and holding again for three seconds restarts the module.
Installing the Modules User-Accessible Components Figure 2-5 shows the various components that are accessible to the user. These consist of an eight-position dip switch (explained in the next section), replaceable PROMs and sockets for RAM. These will be used for future upgrades. Instructions for installing the components will be supplied with the upgrade kit. SMB-1 PROM Shared DRAM Socket Local DRAM Socket i960 Processor Boot PROM Flash SIMM Socket DIP Switch Figure 2-5.
Installing the Modules Setting the Module Card DIP Switch An eight-switch DIP switch is located on the module card, as shown in Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6. The functions of the switches are listed in Table 2-2. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Figure 2-6.
Installing the Modules See the Cautions at the end of this table. Table 2-2. Function of DIP Switch Switch Function Description 8 Clear Password 1 When toggled, this switch clears user-entered passwords stored in NVRAM and restores the default passwords. Once reset you can use the defaults or enter new passwords. Clear NVRAM 2 The module uses NVRAM to store userentered parameters such as IP addresses, device name, etc. To reset these parameters to the factory defaults, toggle this switch.
Chapter 3 Operation The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules provide connectivity between four interfaces: the three front panel Ethernet and the FDDI rings on the backplane (FNB-1 or FNB-2). SmartSwitch 9000 modules connect to either the Internal Network Bus (INB) or the Flexible Network Bus (FNB) bus. The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules connect to the FNB bus. Figure 3-1 is a block diagram of the modules.
Operation Flexible Network Bus (FNB) The FNB consists of two dual FDDI networks, the FNB-1 and FNB-2, providing up to 400 Mbps of data bandwidth. These FDDI networks are 100% ANSI FDDIcompliant, supporting SMT (version 7.3), MAC, PHY, and PMD standards. This allows the FNB to traverse multiple SmartSwitch 9000 hubs, or connect to any ANSI FDDI-compliant device, through standard A/B port connections.
Operation System Diagnostic Controller This diagnostic controller is composed of a Z-80 microprocessor and its supporting logic. The diagnostic controller is designed to control the power-up sequencing of modules, monitor the Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules input and output power parameters, keep watch over the main host processor, as well as monitor the temperature and control the SMB LANVIEW diagnostic LED.
Operation i960 Core The i960 core in the FNB module serves two major functions: it provides the packet forwarding logic and performs all network management services. FNB modules can be configured to run as layer 2 bridges, layer 3 routers, or as Fast Packet Switches. It is possible to run the bridging and routing options concurrently, but the SFPS option cannot run with bridging and routing. The i960 core provides the SNMP protocol stacks, as well as support for industry standard MIBs.

Appendix A EPIMs The 9E132-15 MicroLAN Switch Extension Module provides one port per channel for Cabletron Systems EPIMs. EPIMs allow connecting to the 9E132-15 using different media types. Cabletron Systems offers a variety of EPIMs whose specifications are explained in the following sections. NOTE Verify that the EPIM is the proper revision before installing. See Installing the EPIM on page 2-4. for details. EPIM-T The EPIM-T is an RJ-45 connector supporting UTP cabling.

EPIMs RX TX LNK EPIM-F3 Figure A-3. EPIM-F3 NOTE Transmitter Power decreases as temperatures rise and increases as temperatures fall. Use the Output Power Coefficient to calculate increased or decreased power output for your operating environment. For example, the typical power output at 25°C is -16.4 dBm. For a 4°C temperature increase, multiply the typical coefficient (-0.15 dBm) by four and add the result to typical output power (4 x 0.15 dBm + -16.4 = -17.0). Table A-3.
EPIM-C EPIM-C The EPIM-C supports thin-net coaxial cabling and is equipped with an internal Cabletron Systems TMS-3™ Transceiver. You can use the TERM switch on the front of the EPIM-C to set the internal 50-ohm terminator. This eliminates the need to connect the port to a tee-connector and terminator. Figure A-4 shows the setting for the terminator switch. The link distance is up to 185 meters on the thin-net coaxial cables.
EPIMs The AUI Cable must not exceed 50 meters in length. If 28 AWG thin office drop AUI cable is used, then the maximum cable length is limited to 15.24 meters. PWR SQE EPIM-X EPIM-A Figure A-5.
