General Safety Instructions The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of telecommunications products. Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual. Safety Symbols Warning This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates potential safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to operator or service personnel.
Handling Energized Products General Safety Practices Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.
Connection of Data and Telecommunications Cables Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status. The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port differs from the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual. Ports Safety Status V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530, X.
Caution Attention To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords. Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure. Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In such cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions. Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware.

Appendix B Traffic Separation RIC-155 supports separation between Ethernet management and user traffic. There are two traffic separation modes: port-based and port-based/VLAN-based. The traffic separation mode depends on the forwarding mode of the internal bridge: • Filter – frames are received with VLAN tag or untagged, the bridge learns the source address of the incoming frames, performs the bridging according to the MAC address only. Traffic separation is port-based.
RIC-155 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B Traffic Separation MNG Host Data Uplink Figure B-2. Physical Port Access –MNG Only All When the physical port access is set to All, the internal bridge connections allow both local and remote RIC-155s to be managed via the MNG and DATA ports. MNG Host Data Uplink Figure B-3.
RIC-155 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B Traffic Separation Tagging Modes of the Bridge Ports Each frame is routed according to its VID. If the frame is untagged, it receives tag at egress from the uplink port. Uplink and Host Ports The uplink port operates in the following tagging modes: • Unmodified – frames (tagged and untagged) are left unchanged. • Tag – untagged frames are tagged and tagged frames are left unchanged. • Stack – all frames (tagged and untagged) receive tags.
RIC-155 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B Traffic Separation Internal Operation Modes of the Bridge Ports All VLAN information is kept in the VTU (VLAN Translation Unit) table. The bridge ports operate in the following internal modes: • Secure – only frames with VIDs that are registered in the VTU table are forwarded according to the VTU rules. The management and host ports operate in the secure mode only.
RIC-155 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B Traffic Separation Secure Secure MNG Host Data Uplink Fallback Tag Stripping Enabled Fallback Stack Figure B-5. Port Access Mode – None MNG Only In the MNG Only port access mode, local data frames can reach the uplink port only. Local management frames can reach the host and uplink ports, and the remote management frames can reach the local uplink, host and data ports.
RIC-155 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B Traffic Separation Local MNG Only In the Local MNG Only port access mode, local data frames can reach the uplink port only. Local management frames can reach the host and uplink ports, and the remote management frames can reach the local uplink, host and data ports. In the MNG Only access mode, the host port checks the source port of the incoming frames and drops those that do not originate from the management port.
