Refer to the Radiance Command Line Interface Reference Guide , NetBeacon Element Management Software Installation &... - Page 8 R711-11: The DIP switches for this card can be set for the following operational functions: Switch Name Position* Operation Transmits data on both the PRIMARY and SECONDARY ports simultaneously. The LINK switch must be enabled on both ports. DOWN Transmits data on the active port only.
- Page 9 Switch Name Position Operation Operates in Dynamic Recovery Mode (DRM). (default) If the primary link fails, the SECONDARY port becomes active. Refer to the description for the AUTO switch. DOWN Operates in Network Select Mode (NSM). Use the RESET push button to toggle between PRIMARY and SECONDARY.
- Page 10 R712-11: The table below describes the operational functions of the DIP switches on the R712-11 line card with SONAR. Switch Name Position* Operation SONR SONAR is enabled. To properly activate SONAR, the RED and LINK switches also must be enabled. DOWN SONAR is disabled.
- Page 11 Switch Name Position Operation LINK Link signals are sent out on both the PRI- MARY and SECONDARY ports (i.e. link is sent out both ports). DOWN Link signals are sent out on the active port (default) only. Note: The TX switch is ignored in this setting.

Set the MDI-II/MDI-X Switch For each twisted-pair port, a switch is used to implement the transmit and receive crossover functionality. The switch is positioned just behind its associated RJ-45 connector. See the illustration below for the location of the MDI-II/MDI-X slide switches. MDI-X Position DIP Switches 6 5 4 3 2 1... -
Page 13: Install The Line Card
Install the Line Card The Radiance 10Mbps redundant interface line card offers the ease of plug-and-play installation and is hot-swappable. All cards must be firmly secured to the chassis before network connections are made. Follow the simple steps outlined below to install the line card. NOTE: Proper grounding is recommended (i.e., wrist strap). -
Page 14: Connect To The Network
Connect to the PRIMARY port. • Connect to the SECONDARY port. The R711-11 and R712-11 provide two additional RJ-45 jacks for 10BASE-T connections and support a maximum segment length of 100 meters over Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted-pair cable. - Page 15 Use the link (LK) LEDs on the front panel of the card to verify correct segment connectivity. As you insert the cable into each port, the LK LED illuminates provided there is power being applied to the chassis and there is an active device connected to the other end of the cable sending idle link signals.

Page 16: User Guide
User Guide This section contains information regarding the operating features of your Radiance 10Mbps redundant interface line card. LED Operation Several LEDs are visible from the front panel. These include the switchover (SW), power (PWR), secondary (SEC), link (LK) and activity (AT) LEDs. There are separate link and activity LEDs for each of the three ports (MAIN, PRIMARY and SECONDARY). -
Page 17: Reset Push Button
Reset Push Button A small RESET push button is located on the front panel of the Radiance redundant interface line card. When used in conjunction with the card’s SW and SECONDARY LEDs and the AUTO DIP switch setting, this push button allows you to effectively maintain or troubleshoot a PRIMARY link connection. -
Page 18: Link Loss Carry Forward (Llcf)
Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) The Radiance 10Mbps redundant interface line card has been designed with Link Loss Carry Forward ability for troubleshooting a remote connection. The card is shipped with LLCF disabled. When LLCF is enabled, the ports on the card do not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port. -
Page 19: Switch On No Activity Received (Sonar)
Switch On No Activity Received (SONAR) The R712-11 is designed to protect a network from failure that would prevent data from reaching its destination. With SONAR enabled, the card monitors the active port for loss of data activity, as well as loss of a valid link. SONAR enables the redundant line card to automatically change its active port to its backup when the following two conditions occur: •... -
