Overview The Radiance 10/100Mbps interface line card provides seamless migration between Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks, in addition to built-in media conversion allowing high-speed integration of fiber optic and twisted-pair segments. A complete set of LEDs allows for quick status verification, and a bank of DIP switches provides added versatility on each port.

For updating or expanding an existing network, Metrobility offers line cards that support a wide range of configuration needs. The Radiance 10/100Mbps interface line cards support the following conversion combinations: 10/100Base-TX to 10/100 Base TX 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX multimode SC 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX singlemode SC 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX multimode ST 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX multimode MT-RJ...
Installation Guide Follow the simple steps outlined in this section to install and start using your Radiance 10/100Mbps interface line card. NOTE: Electrostatic discharge precautions should be taken when handling any line card. Proper grounding is recommended (i.e., wear a wrist strap). Unpack the Line Card Your order has been provided with the safest possible packaging, but shipping damage does occasionally occur.
DIP Switches A set of six DIP switches, located on the back of the line card, allows you to select from several modes of operation. These switches are clearly marked on the printed circuit board. switches 10/100 Port 1 MDI-II to MDI-X Switch Port 2 Power Connector When setting DIP switches,...

Auto-Negotiation Switch (AN) Switches AN1 and AN2 control the use of auto-negotiation on their respective copper ports. To enable auto-negotiation, push the lever UP. To disable this function, push the lever DOWN. The default setting is auto-negotiation enabled. When a port has auto-negotiation enabled, it advertises 10/100Mbps and full/half duplex capabilities when both its speed (100M) and duplex (FD) switches are also enabled.

Link Loss Return Switch (LLR) The 10/100Mbps interface line card incorporates Link Loss Return (LLR) functionality as an aid in troubleshooting remote connections on its fiber optic ports. When LLR is enabled, the loss of inbound link pulses on a port stops the transmission of outbound link pulses on the same port.

Use the following tables to help you set the DIP switches to obtain specific modes of operation on the four board types. The configuration column lists the speed and duplex options for Port 1 on the left and Port 2 on the right. “Auto” denotes that auto-negotiation is enabled. The default settings are highlighted.

User Guide This section contains information regarding the operating features of the Radiance 10/100Mbps interface line card. LED Indicators The Radiance 10/100Mbps interface line card provides several LEDs for the visible verification of unit status and proper functionality. These LEDs can assist with troubleshooting and overall network diagnosis and management.
Factory Settings Two functional settings on the Radiance 10/100Mbps interface line card are preset and cannot be changed. Another setting, which controls the backpressure function, can be modified via management software after the card is installed and connected to the network. Refer to the Command Line Interface Reference Guide, NetBeacon Element Management Software Installation and User’s Guide or WebBeacon Management Software Installation and User’s Guide for detailed software instructions.
Link Loss Return (LLR) The fiber optic ports of the Radiance line cards have been designed with LLR for troubleshooting a remote connection. When LLR is enabled, the fiber port’s transmitter shuts down if its receiver fails to detect a valid receive link. LLR should only be enabled on one end of the link and is typically enabled on either the unmanaged or remote device.
Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) The R642-xx and R612-51 line cards incorporate LLCF for troubleshooting a remote connection. When LLCF is enabled, the ports do not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port. The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with a good link status using Radiance line cards for remote connectivity.
