Module (GPIM) ports that provide Gigabit Ethernet connections. The GPIMs are hot swappable, allowing the user to reconfigure the DELVM-UA when it is installed and the host device has power applied to it. One port is active and the other is redundant. Redundancy is triggered based on link activity.
1000Base-CX is supported with the DELG4-UA providing a connection to style-2 shielded twisted pair copper cable. For more specifications on GPIMs, see Appendix The DELVM-UA operates in full duplex mode, and follows the 802.3x specifications for auto-negotiation. 1.1.2 LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs Cabletron Systems provides a visual diagnostic and monitoring system called LANVIEW.
Overview 1.1.3 Options The options for the DELVM-UA are GPIMs, as listed in Table 1-1. The GPIMs support high speed connections at full duplex Gigabit speeds. Table 1-1 GPIM Options Part Number Description Application SC fiber Supports 50 or 62.5 micron...
The DELVM-UA and the host module or device (platform) are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could result in damage to the DELVM-UA or host platform. Unpack the DELVM-UA as follows: Remove the DELVM-UA from the shipping box.
VHSIM slot and connector locations. 2.2.1 Installing the DELVM-UA in an Interface Module To install a DELVM-UA in an interface module that supports VHSIM technology, perform the following steps: Note the ports of the interface module that have cables attached to them.

This can damage both the DELVM-UA and the module. Press down firmly on the DELVM-UA until the connectors slide all the way onto the pins. Ensure that the standoffs on the interface module align with the standoff screw holes on the DELVM-UA.
Reinstall the interface module in the chassis. Reattach the network cabling to the interface module. INSTALLING GPIMs The DELVM-UA has three different GPIMs that can be installed into the DELVM-UA. All GPIMs are installed into the DELVM-UA in the same manner, as listed in this procedure.

DELG1-UA and DELG9-UA Network Connections To remove a GPIM from the DELVM-UA, squeeze both locking tabs in towards the center of the GPIM, and pull it out of the port. DELG1-UA AND DELG9-UA NETWORK CONNECTIONS The DELG1-UA and the DELG9-UA each have an SC style connector for the network port that is used to connect to the Gigabit Ethernet network.
To connect the DELG9-UA to the network using multimode fiber, perform the following steps: Connect Launch Mode Conditioning cable to the multimode fiber on both ends of the multimode cable, before connecting the DELVM-UA with a DELG9-UA to the multimode fiber cabling. See Figure 2-6.
DELG9-UA device. 2.4.2 DELVM-UA Network Connection To connect the DELVM-UA using fiber cable to the network, perform the following steps: If connecting the DELVM-UA with a DELG9-UA to the network using multimode fiber cable, refer to Section 2.4.1...

LANVIEW LEDs This chapter describes how to use the LANVIEW LEDs to monitor the DELVM-UA status and diagnose DELVM-UA problems. Figure 3-1 shows the location of the DELVM-UA LEDs. Refer to Table 3-1 for a description of the LEDs. Section 3.2 describes redundancy.
Diagnostic failure. REDUNDANCY The DELVM-UA supports redundancy. Only one of the two ports on the DELVM-UA is active at one time. The port with link status showing (either a green LED, solid or blinking, or an amber LED) is the active port.
This chapter provides information about using Local Management with the DELVM-UA. Local Management of the DELVM-UA is done through the host platform. Since the DELVM-UA is a Gigabit Ethernet device, the Local Management screens used for configuration and statistics are the regular Ethernet screens, seen on the host platform Local Management.
Figure 4-1. NAVIGATING LOCAL MANAGEMENT SCREENS In order to view the DELVM-UA Local Management screens, you must navigate through a series of Local Management screens on the host platform. Figure 4-1 shows a typical hierarchy of screens to navigate through in order to reach the DELVM-UA statistics screens.
