  • Page 17: Introduction

    Copper to Fibre ( + Copper ) Fibre to Copper ( + Copper ) The FCM9002 uses a flow based architecture with flows being supported with either single tag push/pop operation for either tagged (QinQ) or untagged user traffic streams. Both IEEE 802.1q VLAN C-Tags and IEEE 802.1ad Service Tags are supported with a fully programmable S-Tag for maximum compatibility.

    FCM9002 USER MANUAL 1.1 FCM9002 EDD The FCM9002 is a compact unit as shown occupying half a shelf in a traditional 19inch rack. All connectors and LED status indicators are accessible from the rear of the unit. 1.2 Safety The FCM9002 must not be connected to cabling which would be required by BS6701 to equipped with over voltage protection.

  • Page 19: En55022 Statement

    FCM9002 USER MANUAL 1.3.1 EN55022 Statement The FCM9002 is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user will be required to take adequate measures. 1.3.2 FCC Declaration This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of the Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.

  • Page 20: Installation

    The FCM9002 is available with either AC Mains or DC power options. 2.1.1 Mains Power The FCM9002 has an internal power supply and is supplied via an IEC mains power socket. The FCM9002 operates over the wide range 100 to 250V AC and draws less than 6 watts.

  • Page 21: Base Label And Bit Switches

    FCM9002 USER MANUAL 2.2 Base Label and Bit Switches On the underside of the FCM9002 there are bit switches which may be used to configure certain functions within the unit. The bit switches are ONLY used to configure the default settings following a cold start.

    19 inch rack using the rack mounting kit, part number 80-05-256. To mount the FCM9002 in the 19 inch rack mount adaptor first remove the two M3x12 screws and washers from the rear panel of the unit. Then align the FCM9002 rear panel with the mounting bracket, and secure the unit to the adaptor using the previously removed screws.

  • Page 28: Operating Modes

    Data Port Setup Menu, see section 4.5.1 3.1 C-Tag Mode In C-Tag mode, the FCM9002 will either push an IEEE 802.1q VLAN Tag onto a previously tagged or untagged frame, or will pass unchanged already tagged frames. The FCM9002 capabilities in C-Tag mode are shown below: In C-Tag mode, flows are defined as groups of C-Tag VLAN ID’s.
  • Page 29 FCM9002 USER MANUAL Ports may also be configured to act as trunk ports where they will pass frames that ingress already containing VLAN Tags, and will discard any untagged frames. Ports may also be configured for mixed mode operation where they will pass tagged frames and push a tag onto untagged frames.

  • Page 30: S-Tag Mode

    DSCP priorities the tag priority may be based on the packet DSCP value. 3.2 S-Tag Mode In the FCM9002 Service Tags are used when an extra tag is to be pushed onto an already tagged frame. The Service Tag has a configurable Ethertype which by default is set to 9100.

  • Page 31: Pushing S-Tag Onto Untagged Frame

  • Page 34: System Configuration

    4.1.1 Setting the Time and Date The FCM9002 does not have a non volatile real time clock, instead it uses NTP to set the date and time following power up. In applications where NTP is not available, the FCM9002 defaults to providing a simple uptime display.

  • Page 35: Time Zone

    4.1.2 Setting the Node Name To enable identification of the FCM9002 it is useful to enter a meaningful name for the unit. The node name is entered as a string of upto 32 alpha numeric characters including spaces.

  • Page 36: Provider Id

    If the provider ID is left blank, the FCM9002 will listen for any beacon whatever the provider ID, whilst if a value is entered, only beacons with a matching ID will be used.
