® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY 2 Module Introduction The Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY is a highly configurable multi-function module that can perform the functions of hundreds of less sophisticated devices. The SW-XY can operate in four modes. Each of these applications is described later in this section. •...
® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY 2.1.1 Loopback Loopback tests and verifies the link integrity. It is available on the fiber optic ports (P2 and P3) only, and it operates in all four operational modes. Loopback directs received data on a port to the transmitter to test the fiber optic link end-to-end from the remote converter.
® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY 2.1.2 Link Integrity Notification (LIN) LIN is not available in switch mode. A single DIP switch (LIN EN) activates LIN for the entire module except in switch mode. If this switch is OFF, then LIN cannot be activated even through software management. In the other operational modes, ports on the EM316SW-XY are paired as converters or repeaters.
® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY 2.2 Modes of Operation The EM316SW-XY supports four different operational modes. 1. Dual Repeater (Fiber and Copper) 2. Dual Converter 3. Redundant Link 4. Switch (4-Port, mixed-media) This section describes these modes and required DIP switch settings. Select the operational mode with the DIP switches labeled MODE1 and MODE0, switches 5 and 6 on switch block 1 nearest the front panel of the module.
® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY 2.2.1 Dual Repeater (Fiber and Copper) MODE1 MODE0 Figure 2 -- Dual Repeater Mode In Dual Repeater mode, the module acts as a pair of repeaters. Fiber Optic repeater between 100Base-FX ports SFP-based interfaces Copper repeater between 10/100 Base-TX ports RJ-45 copper interfaces The copper repeater can be used as a distance extender in a copper infrastructure to extend a link beyond the 300 foot (100m) limit.
® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY 2.2.2 Dual Converter MODE1 MODE0 Figure 3 -- Dual Converter Mode In Dual Converter mode, the module incorporates two independent “copper 10/100 to Fiber Fast Ethernet converters” for the price of a single converter. This combination doubles the density of a central office chassis, allowing up to 30 converters in a managed 16-slot chassis.
® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY 2.2.3 Redundant Link MODE1 MODE0 Figure 4 -- Redundant Link Mode In Redundant Link mode, the module acts as a copper to redundant fiber (100Base-FX) converter. This configuration requires optical SFPs installed in ports P2 and P3 to support a pair of redundant fiber optic paths.
® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY 2.2.4 Mixed-Media Switch (4-Port) MODE1 MODE0 Figure 5 -- Switching Mode In Switch mode, the module acts a mixed-media Ethernet Switch with two 10/100Base-TX copper interfaces and two fiber-optic SFP-based 100 Base-FX interfaces. The mixed-media switch allows copper Ethernet traffic access to a linear fiber-optic Ethernet network.
® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY 3 Preparation and Installation 3.1 Unpacking the Fiber Driver Module Step 1. Open the cardboard box. Step 2. Remove the static bag containing the module. Step 3.

® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY Module Installation Fiber Driver modules are hot-swappable and may be inserted into or removed from a supporting chassis at any time. Install the module into a powered Fiber Driver chassis with a cooling fan. Align the edge of the card with the rail of the chassis, slide it into the chassis until firmly seated against the backplane and hand-tighten the thumb screw.
® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY Step 2. Install the module inside a Fiber Driver chassis by aligning the edge of the card with the rail of the chassis. Tighten the thumbscrew by hand. Figure 11 -- Module installation (not all chassis are shown) Figure 12 -- Correctly inserted Fiber Driver module in a powered chassis Handle the module by the edges to avoid damaging any components.
® Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY Cleaning Fibers Fiber optic components and cables are very sensitive to dirt, dust, and mishandling. Especially in high-speed networks such as gigabit Ethernet and OC48, dirty or mistreated fiber may cause errors and signal degradation. Prior to installation, follow the procedure below to clean fiber optic cable and transceivers. Equipment Requirements •...
