  • Page 9: Product Overview

    CITYLIGHT 10/100 ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER CARD 2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW The CityLIGHT 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver is part of the CityLIGHT system and is designed to provide both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX LAN interfaces. It retransmits data between the connected devices over distances of up to 35 km on single-mode fiber using standard optics or up to 50 km using high-power optics.
  • Page 10 CITYLIGHT 10/100 ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER CARD NOTE: The CityLIGHT 10/100 is a transceiver. The devices attached to the CityLIGHT 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver at either end MUST have the same highest common capability and operate in the same mode and speed, e.g. all elements of the link must be operating at say 10 Mbps Full-Duplex or all at 100 Mbps Full-Duplex.

  • Page 12: Data Rate

    CITYLIGHT 10/100 ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER CARD Auto-negotiation is enabled by setting switch 2 to ON; see Section 5, Switch Positions. Setting switch 2 OFF allows the data rate to be controlled by the speed select switch (Switch 1); see Section 5, Switch Positions. 2.2 Data Rate The CityLIGHT Fiber Extender Modules can operate at either 10 or 100 Mbps.

  • Page 13: Ergonomics

    CITYLIGHT 10/100 ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER CARD For these applications, an external 10dB attenuator is available to ensure that the optical receive power falls within the operating limits of the receiver. The fixed value 10dB attenuator, LCL505A, is of a doped-fiber design which eliminates the troublesome reflections which an air-gap attenuator may introduce.

  • Page 14: Management

    CITYLIGHT 10/100 ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER CARD 2.9 Management The CityLIGHT 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver is managed via the CityLIGHT SNMP Module which supports both In-Band and Out-of-Band management of the unit. Once installed in a chassis with an SNMP card or connected via the fiber to a card in an SNMP-managed chassis, the SNMP agent automatically detects the card and displays the following information.

  • Page 15: Laser Bias Current

    CITYLIGHT 10/100 ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER CARD 2.9.2 Laser Bias Current The laser bias current gives an indication of the drive current required to maintain the correct output power of the laser on the CityLIGHT Fiber Extender Module. The value of the laser bias is used to generate a trap if a threshold value is exceeded.

Link UP (this CityLIGHT 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver is receiving link pulses on the copper interface but the copper port at the far end is reporting a fault). vi. Link DOWN (this CityLIGHT 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver is not receiving link pulses on the copper interface and is therefore not correctly attached).

INSTALLATION NOTE: The CityLIGHT 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver is hot-swappable; the power to the CityLIGHT 1U or 3U Chassis and the CityLIGHT 2-Card Chassis does not need to be turned off during installation or removal. 3.1 Tools Required To install the CityLIGHT Fiber Extender Module, the following items are required: Flat-bladed Screwdriver...
  • Page 18 CITYLIGHT 10/100 ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER CARD Configure the attached switches to fixed-rate full-duplex for the required speed. If the attached switches/ports only support “auto” mode, the CityLIGHT 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver can auto-negotiate with these ports to allow full-duplex operation. Setting switch 2 ON enables auto- negotiation.
  • Page 19 CITYLIGHT 10/100 ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER CARD Using the loss set, and ideally a technician at the CityLIGHT remote chassis, check that the link budget is less than 18 dB for the standard- power unit or 25 dB for the high-power unit. Ensure connector ends are clean.
  • Page 20 CITYLIGHT 10/100 ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER CARD The hardware installation is now complete. To enable management, refer to the Management Serial Interface section of the CityLIGHT SNMP Module user manual.

DIAGNOSTIC LEDs COLOR CONDITION GREEN/YELLOW THIS INDICATES THAT POWER IS SUPPLIED TO THE DEVICE AND ADDITIONALLY THE OPERATING DATA RATE; YELLOW FOR 10 Mbps OR GREEN FOR 100 Mbps. WHEN AUTO-NEGOTIATION IS ENABLED, CHECK THAT THE LEDS AT BOTH ENDS OF THE LINK INDICATE THAT THE CARDS ARE OPERATING AT THE SAME SPEED.
  • Page 22 CITYLIGHT 10/100 ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER CARD ALARM THIS INDICATES THERE IS A LOSS OF RECEIVE POWER ON THE FIBER PORT, I.E. THE RECEIVE POWER HAS DROPPED BELOW -28 dBm. CHECK THAT THE FIBERS ARE CORRECTLY INSERTED TX TO RX AND VICE VERSA. CHECK THAT THE LINK LOSS IS LESS THAN 18 dB FOR STANDARD-POWER OPTICS AND LESS THAN 25 dB FOR HIGH-POWER OPTICS.
