Chapter 1 Introduction The 9F120-08, 9F122-12 and 9F125-08 MicroLAN™ Modules are Dual Attached Concentrator modules for the SmartSwitch 9000 (see Figure 1-1). The 9F120-08 provides eight multi-mode fiber Master ports, the 9F122-12 provides twelve unshielded twisted pair Master ports, and the 9F125-08 provides eight single mode fiber Master ports. All allow connections of Single or Dual Attached Stations. The 9F120-08, 9F122-12 and 9F125-08 are ANSI FDDI-compliant with SMT (version 7.3), MAC, PHY, and PMD.
Introduction Connectivity The front panel Master port connections are via standard fiber FDDI MIC connectors or RJ-45 Unshielded Twisted Pair ports. Multiple modules can combine to provide connections for up to 168 FDDI stations. All FDDI stations connected to the Master ports are directly attached to the FNB backplane. These ports are not bridged or routed to the FNB backplane.

Chapter 2 Installing the MicroLAN Modules SmartSwitch 9000 MicroLAN Modules can be installed in any of the 14 slots that are available. To install, follow the steps below: 1. Remove the blank panel, covering the slot in which the MicroLAN Module will be installed. All other slots must remain covered to ensure proper airflow and cooling. 2. Unpack the MicroLAN Module by carefully removing it from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.) 3.

Installing the MicroLAN Modules The Reset Switch The Reset switch is located on the front panel, under the top plastic tab, as shown in Figure 2-2. 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. SNMP management may be used to disable this switch to enhance module security.
Installing the MicroLAN Modules User-Accessible Components Figure 2-3 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 i960 Processor Local DRAM Socket Flash SIMM Socket DIP Switch Boot PROM Figure 2-3.
Installing the MicroLAN Modules Setting the Module Card DIP Switch An eight-switch DIP switch is located on the module card, as shown in Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4. The functions of the switches are listed in Table 2-1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Figure 2-4.
Installing the MicroLAN Modules See the Cautions at the end of this table. Table 2-1. 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 MicroLAN Modules, as shown in Figure 3-1, provide concentrator ports that connect directly to the FNB bus. Each port can connect to either ring (FNB-1 or FNB-2). This is software configurable via local or remote management. DC/DC Converter Fiber port . . . . . . . SMB-1 System Diagnostic Controller i960 PLUS Core SMB-10 FNB-1 or FNB-2 Fiber port Figure 3-1.
Operation System Management Buses There are two management channels within the SmartSwitch 9000 system: the SMB-1 and the SMB-10. These buses provide out-of-band management and intermodule management communication. SMB-1 Bus The SMB-1 is a 1 Mbps management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000. This bus is utilized by all diagnostic controllers in the system including connectivity modules, power supply modules and the environmental module.
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 concentrator 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.
