Should you have a question pertaining to the installation or operation of your card, please contact us at the numbers listed on the back cover of this manual.

  • Page 12: Overview

    Overview The Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceivers are configured in various modes depending on the number of small form-factor pluggable fiber transceivers (SFPs) installed and the rear module used. There are up to six user ports (a combination of fiber optic and RJ45 connectors) plus one GigE (SERDES) port connected to the OG3-FR series frame midplane that communicates with the switch on the Network Controller Cards.

  • Page 13: Features

    Features The following features are common for the Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceivers: • Compliant with IEEE 802.3 (10/100/1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-X) • Supports 10/100/1000 Base T Ethernet on RJ45 connectors • Auto negotiation for 10/100/1000 speeds, half/full duplex modes, MDI/MDIX auto-crossover • Supports two trunk groups between two devices with each trunk group having up to four ports •...

  • Page 19: Physical Installation

    Physical Installation This section outlines how to install a rear module and a card in an openGear frame. However, the specific rear module you need to install depends on your application. You must install the Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceiver in an OG3-FR series frame to take advantage of the internal GigE interface.

    Screw Hole Module Seating Slots Figure 2.2 Rear Module Installation in an OG3-FR Series Frame (Cards not shown) 7. Align the top hole of the rear module with the screw on the top-edge of the frame back plane. 8. Using a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied screw, fasten the rear module to the back plane of the frame.
  • Page 21 7. When are you ready to cable your rear module: Caution — Every time you are required to insert a connector into a device, or mating sleeve, you must clean the connector. All exposed surfaces of the ceramic ferrule must be clean. Follow your facility practices of cleaning fiber optic connectors. Connectors must always be inserted into a device or have a dust cap on.

  • Page 22: Ethernet Communications

    You will require a standard network CAT-5e cable to connect the card to your facility network. (Figure 2.3) There is no need for a crossover cable as the rear modules include an Auto-MDIX ethernet PHY that will switch from straight to crossover automatically as needed. Ross Video does not supply these cables.

    Configuring a VLAN A virtual local area network (VLAN) is a logical grouping of workstations, servers, and network devices so that they appear to be on the same LAN whether they are part of a larger local LAN or geographically dispersed. A VLAN allows a network of computers and users to communicate in a simulated environment as if they exist in a single LAN and are sharing a single broadcast and multicast domain.

    Enabling Trunking Trunking, also known as link aggregation, is the use of two or more links between nodes (switches and/or servers) in parallel to increase the bandwidth. A side benefit is that a failure of a link will cause the traffic to be redistributed among the remaining links, though at reduced overall capacity.

    Troubleshooting a Loop When a loop is created, the Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceiver may automatically detect the loop and disable the appropriate ports. When this occurs, the LEDs on the rear module and the card-edge flash in unison for the affected ports. Note that the network may be able to avoid the loop if it has spanning tree capability.
