    100M 2.2.6 Frame Buffering and Latency The RFL 3000 4K24F or 4K24C are store-and-forward switches. Each frame (or packet) is loaded into the Switch’s memory and inspected before forwarding can occur. This technique ensures that all forwarded frames are of a valid length and have the correct CRC, i.e., are good packets.

  • Page 13: Features And Benefits

    To minimize the possibility of dropping frames on congested ports, each RFL 3000 4K24 Switch dynamically allocates buffer space from a 1MB memory pool, ensuring that heavily used ports receive very large buffer space for packet storage. (Many other switches have their packet buffer storage space divided evenly across all ports, resulting in a small, fixed number of packets to be stored per port.

    The RFL 3000 4K24 Switch fits nicely in this environment, and offers future backbone expansion. The 24 switched copper ports are provfided by a RFL 3000 4K24. Should the number of servers expand, more than one server can be accessed at full speed from any switched 4K24 port by any of the users simultaneously.

  • Page 17: Connecting Ethernet Media

    The location of a RFL 3000 4K-Series Switch is dependent on the physical layout of the network. Typically the Switch is placed in a central wiring location where groups of network devices need to be connected in order to communicate with each other. These Switches are typically rack mounted in a wiring closet (see Section 3.3.2 below), but they have rubber feet and can also be installed on a shelf or table top.

    1. Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from the tips of the connectors on the FKM. Save these dust caps for future use. 2. Wipe clean the ends of the dual connectors with a soft cloth or lint-free lens tissue dampened in alcohol.

    3.2.4 Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45,CAT3, CAT5, Unshielded or Shielded) The RJ-45 ports of the RFL 3000 4K-Series can be connected to the following two media types: 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T. CAT 5 cables should be used when making 100BASE-TX connections. When the ports are used as 10BASE-T ports, CAT 3 may be used.

    The 23” brackets and ETSI brackets are also available (optional) for Rack-mounting of RFL 3000 4K Series Switches. The 23” brackets are popular in the Telco industry where they are a standard for Central Office rack-mounting purposes. The 23” brackets are mainly used for larger equipment assemblies in rack-mounting frames, and are frequently accessed in operation from both sides.

  • Page 21: Preparation For Changing Fkm Fiber Port Modules

    Changing FKM modules in a RFL 3000 4K24F Switch is a complex procedure that requires great care. Please read the Port Module Insertion Guide and this 4K24 Manual thoroughly before doing any field changes of FKM modules. If you are installing an FKM, make sure the FKM Module package has all necessary accessories to install it properly.

    Use port #1 (or ports 2 thru 24) for straight-through twisted pair cabling from the 4K24 switched port to a user device, or the “1X” port for cross-over or up-link segment connections from the first 4K24 port to a repeater or hub or switch. Verify proper port connection by noting the port’s LINK/ACT status, which is illuminated when a proper link is made, and is blinking when there is activity.

  • Page 28: Auto-Negotiation, Full-Duplex Mode

    Auto-negotiation, full-duplex mode Full-duplex Ethernet provides separate Transmit and Receive data paths, enabling simultaneous bi-directional collision-free data movements on a port. The network topology must be a “star” type, not a “bus” type. With full-duplex mode, the cable distance is only limited by the physical layer line driver and cable attenuation. There are no collision-domain restrictions or limitations.

    Power Budget Calculations for 4K-Series with Fiber Media Receiver Sensitivity and Transmitter Power are the parameters necessary to compute the power budget. To calculate the power budget of different fiber media installations using RFL 3000 products, the following equations should be used: OPB (Optical Power Budget) = P (min) - P (min)
