Notice Safety Information CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS The FPIM-05 and FPIM-07 are Class 1 Laser Products CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT The FPIM-05 and FPIM-07 use Class 1 Laser transceivers. Read the following safety information before installing or operating these adapters. The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user adjustment.
Notice Safety Information CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS Laser Radiation and Connectors When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10-6 watts. Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm-2 or 8 x 103 W m2 sr-1.

Chapter 1 Introduction The 9F426-02 FDDI SmartSwitch® Module shown in Figure 1-1, is a three port switch module with two front panel FDDI interfaces and one INB-2 backplane interface. The external FDDI networks are connected to the module using standard Cabletron FPIMs on the front panel. The 9F426-02 module employs SmartSwitch ASIC, a high performance switch design, and an Intel i960 microprocessor.
Introduction Management The 9F426-02 module has two full implementations of SMT (Version 7.3), one per interface, and SNMP for local and remote management. Local management is provided through the RS-232 COM ports on the SmartSwitch 9000 Environmental Module using a standard VT-220 terminal or emulator. Remote management is possible through Cabletron’s SPECTRUM or any SNMP compliant management tool as well as telneting to the module.

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 SmartSwitch 9000 Module This module uses FPIMs for the front panel connections. They are not shipped with the module and must be purchased separately. For more information on FPIMs see Appendix A. Unpacking the Module 1. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.) 2. Remove the module from the plastic bag. Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). 3.
Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module Figure 2-1. Installing an FPIM User-Accessible Components Figure 2-2 shows the various components that are accessible to the user. These consist of an eight-position DIP switch (explained below), 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.

User Accessible Components An eight-position DIP switch is located on the module card as shown in Figure 2-2. The function of the switches are listed in Table 2-1.
Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module 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 user entered parameters such as IP addresses, device name, etc.
Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module Installing the Module into the SmartSwitch 9000 Chassis To install the SmartSwitch 9000 module, follow the steps below: NOTE The INB Terminator Modules must be installed on the rear of the chassis before powering up this module. Refer to the INB Terminator Modules Installation Guide for information and installation procedure. 1. Switch off the power supplies and remove all power from the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis. 2.

Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module The Reset Switch The Reset switch is located under the top plastic tab as shown in Figure 2-4. 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. • Momentarily pressing the switch restarts the module. SNMP management may be used to disable this switch to enhance module security.

Chapter 3 Operation The 9F426-02 module is capable of switching any three, of five possible interfaces, depending on how it is configured. The INB-2 connection is always fixed. When configuring the module, the decision is made to connect both front panel ports, both FNB ports, or one front panel and one FNB port to the traditional switch.
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 1Mbs 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 DC/DC Converter The DC/DC converter converts the 48 VDC on the system power bus to the necessary operating voltages for its host network services module. The diagnostic controller monitors and controls the operation of the DC/DC converter. INB Interface Each module that attaches to the INB has an INB Network Interface Block (NIB). The INB NIB converts canonical frames to fixed length data blocks for transmission onto the INB.
Operation i960 Core The i960 core provides the SNMP protocol stacks, to support industry-standard MIBs. Additionally, Cabletron enterprise extension MIBs are supported for each media type. Advanced management services, such as the Distributed LAN Monitor, telnet and network address to MAC address mapping, are also provided by the i960 core. The Host engine sends and receives packets via the CPU SmartSwitch ASIC Interface.
