Notice Safety Information CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS The 9F120-08, 9F122-12 and 9F125-08 are Class 1 Laser Products The 9F120-08, 9F122-12 and 9F125-08 use Class 1 Laser transceivers. Read the following safety information before installing or operating these The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits.
Introduction The 9F120-08, 9F122-12 and 9F125-08 MicroLAN™ Modules are Dual Attached Concentrator modules for the SmartSwitch 9000 (see Figure 1-1). The 9F120-08 provides eight multi-mode fiber Master ports, the 9F122-12 provides twelve unshielded twisted pair Master ports, and the 9F125-08 provides eight single mode fiber Master ports.
Page 10
Introduction Connectivity The front panel Master port connections are via standard fiber FDDI MIC connectors or RJ-45 Unshielded Twisted Pair ports. Multiple modules can combine to provide connections for up to 168 FDDI stations. All FDDI stations connected to the Master ports are directly attached to the FNB backplane. These ports are not bridged or routed to the FNB backplane.

Operation The MicroLAN Modules, as shown in Figure 3-1, provide concentrator ports that connect directly to the FNB bus. Each port can connect to either ring (FNB-1 or FNB-2). This is software configurable via local or remote management. DC/DC Converter Fiber port Fiber...
Operation System Management Buses There are two management channels within the SmartSwitch 9000 system: the SMB-1 and the SMB-10. These buses provide out-of-band management and inter- module management communication. SMB-1 Bus The SMB-1 is a 1 Mbps management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000. This bus is utilized by all diagnostic controllers in the system including connectivity modules, power supply modules and the environmental module.
System Diagnostic Controller This diagnostic controller is composed of a Z-80 microprocessor and its supporting logic. The diagnostic controller is designed to control the power-up sequencing of modules, monitor the concentrator modules input and output power parameters, keep watch over the main host processor, as well as monitor the temperature and control the SMB LANVIEW diagnostic LED.
The front panel LANVIEW LEDs indicate the status of the module and may be used as an aid in troubleshooting. Shown in Figure 4-1 is the LANVIEW LEDs of the concentrator modules.
