Chapter 1 Introduction TotalSwitch 6 10-Mbps Modules™ are IEEE 802.3 multi-port switchs that provide eight 10Base-T (Half- or Full-Duplex), four 10Base-2 (Half-Duplex), four 10Base-FL (Half- or Full-Duplex) or four 10Base-T (Half- or Full-Duplex) and two 10Base-FL (Half- or Full- Duplex) switched segments. TotalSwitch 6 10-Mbps Modules use non-blocking switching architecture, provide wire speed switching (14,880 pps) for each segment and ensure extremely low latency.

PLUS — includes four RJ-45 connectors and two pair ST (LB6016P-TPFO) or SC (LB6016P-TPFOSC) connectors; Half- or Full-Duplex on each port; single- mode fiber; supports longer distances Please contact Black Box Corporation for further details and ordering information on TotalSwitch 6 chassis and Modular Concentrator hubs.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation This chapter provides configuration and installation information for TotalSwitch 6 10-Mbps Modules (referred to as Total Switch Modules throughout the rest of this manual). Jumper Settings TotalSwitch TP/8, TotalSwitch FO/4 and TotalSwitch TP/4+FO/2 have several jumpers that may need to be configured. It is necessary to power down the unit before adjusting the jumper settings.

Figure 2.3 Jumper Locations and Default Settings for TotalSwitch TP/4+FO/2 FiberAlert Jumpers TotalSwitch FO/4 Modules (board revisions -20 and higher) and TotalSwitch TP/4+FO/2 Modules feature FiberAlert. When a fiber optic receive fault is detected, FiberAlert makes the link LED for the opposite end of the fiber conversion pulse, signifying there is a problem and thus eliminating “silent failures.”...
Half-Duplex/Full-Duplex Jumpers Each twisted pair and fiber optic port on a TotalSwitch Module can operate in either Half-Duplex (HDX) or Full-Duplex (FDX) mode. TotalSwitch Modules are shipped from the factory with HDX selected on each port. HDX/FDX is selected on TotalSwitch Modules by repositioning the shunts on the 3-pin, HDX/FDX jumper blocks on the PCB.
To install a TotalSwitch Module, remove the blank bracket covering the slot where the module is to be installed by removing the two screws located closest to the outside edge of the bracket. NOTE: TotalSwitch Modules cannot be installed in Slot 1; this disables SNMP for the Modular Concentrator’s NMS.
ON (enabled) by moving the toggle to the up position. NOTE: When the BNC port is not being used, Black Box recommends the toggle be set to ON and a 50 Ω terminator be connected to the port.
LEDs on Twisted Pair Ports The LED functions for twisted pair ports are as follows: Figure 2.7 LEDs on TotalSwitch TP/8 Module Glows amber when Full-Duplex is selected on the port This LED provides three port status functions: • Glows green constantly in normal operation •...
LEDs on Thin Coaxial Ports The LED functions for thin coaxial ports are as follows: Figure 2.9 LEDs on TotalSwitch BNC/4 Module Flickers green in normal operation indicating activity (traffic) on the BNC segment Flickers red in normal operation indicating normal collisions are being detected on the BNC segment...
Chapter 3 User Guidelines As stated earlier, TotalSwitch Modules are 10 Mbps Ethernet, multi- port switchs that provide eight 10Base-T (Half- or Full-Duplex in any combination), four 10Base-2 (Half-Duplex) or four 10Base-FL (Half- or Full-Duplex in any combination) or four 10Base-T (Half- or Full- Duplex) and two 10Base-FL (Half- or Full-Duplex) switched segments.

can operate in either Half- or Full-Duplex. By placing a TotalSwitch TP/8 Module in each building, selecting FDX on one of the TP ports, and attaching this link segment to a Media Converter TP/FO, you can make long distance (up to 40+ km in the case of TP/FO Single- Mode/PLUS), Full-Duplex, 10 Mbps Ethernet fiber connections between buildings, as illustrated in Figure 3.2.
Chapter 4 Technical Specifications Fiber Optic Power Specifications The maximum distance between any two fiber optic devices is determined by a number of factors, including the TotalSwitch Modules used in the configuration. The following table shows the specifications for each of the available TotalSwitch Modules and will assist in determining which TotalSwitch Module is best for your installation.
any dust or dirt and that the location is as free from dust and dirt as possible. 3) Store spare caps in a dust free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box so that when reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.
