1.2 Chassis Front Description The front of the FRM220 contains the line card slots. They are numbered 1 through 20, from left to right as viewed from the front. The typical configuration is with one NMC (Network Management Controller) card in slot number 1 and in-band manageable line cards in any other slot numbered 2 through 20.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.3 Chassis Rear Description The rear panel holds the chassis interface, the hot-swappable cooling fan modules, and the hot-swappable power modules. The pluggable modules do not require any tools for removal and replacement. Alarm Relay Cooling Fan IEC AC Mains Input Chassis Cascade Cooling Fan...
1.6 NMC (SNMP) The FRM220 must be ordered with an NMC Card. The card is placed in the far left, number one card slot. Management is accomplished either via local control on the asynchronous RS-232 port with an ASCII terminal or via Ethernet and any standard SNMP network management software that supports MIB-II.
See below for a brief of the linecards at the time of this printing. Please refer to the latest version of FRM220 NMC User Manual for details of all the line card options for the FRM220.
The 10/100iS-2 card is managed by an on-card CPU when installed in the FRM220 CH20 chassis. There are no DIP switches or manual settings. If the MC is placed stand-alone, without local or remote connection to FRM220 NMC management, the two separate MC run with default parameters. The default parameters are: switch mode, auto-negotiation, LFP disabled, ALS (Auto Laser Shutdown) disabled, and no bandwidth limit.
10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX with SC or ST connector. With SNMP agent and GUI Web-based management in the FRM220, the Network administrator can monitor, configure and control the activity of each 802.3ah series line card. This 802.3ah OAM Compliant media converter, with its Q-in-Q and maximum interoperability will enable carriers and service provides to have a clear vision of their network and conveniently manage their demarcation point.
10/100/1000Base-TX and 1000Base-SX/LX with SFP-LC connector. With SNMP agent and GUI Web- based management in the FRM220, the Network administrator can monitor, configure and control the activity of each 802.3ah series line card. This 802.3ah OAM Compliant media converter, with its Q-in-Q and maximum interoperability will enable carriers and service provider to have a clear vision of their network and conveniently manage their demarcation point.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.7.5 FRM220-1000EDS Managed Gigabit Fiber Media Converter The FRM220-1000EDS is a dual channel (two in one) copper to fiber Gigabit Ethernet solution designed to make conversion between 10/100/1000Base-TX and 1000Base-SX/LX with SFP connector. With SNMP and Web- based management in the FRM220, the Network administrator can monitor, configure and control the activity of each card in the chassis.
1.7.6 FRM220-E1/T1 In-band managed G.703 E1/T1(DS1) Fiber Modem The FRM220-E1/T1 is a fiber modem transport for G.703 E1 or T1(DS1) transmission. The BNC model (E1 only) provides unbalanced 75 Ohm coaxial connections while the RJ-45 model provides balanced 100/120 Ohm connections over twisted pair wiring.
Both card and remote can be configured to enable or disable the port, reset the port, set the data rate, modify the clock mode, and initiate local or far end loop back tests. The FRM220-Data Fiber Modem may also be paired with the FRM220-E1/T1 for Nx64K transmissions.
RS-232 or RS-485/422 (2 or 4 wire, full or half duplex). The FRM220-Serial/485 secures data transmission over EMI resistant fiber at speeds up to 460kbps for RS-232 or up to 1024kbps for RS-485/422. When the FRM220-Serial/485 card modem is placed in the FRM220 rack with SNMP management, in-band management allows viewing the card and remote modem's status, type, version, fiber link status, data link status and alarms.
Old Telephone (POTS) devices. FRM220-FXO/FXS provides a fiber media transport for POTS transmission and features an RJ-11C for copper connection. A pair of FRM220-FXO/FXS is required to implement an end to end system. FXO mode connects to a telephone line or PBX and has ability to detect ringing voltages and to act as a telephone.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.7.10 FRM220-155MS SM/MM, MM/SM converter / repeater The FRM220-155MS is a fiber to fiber optical media converter and repeater that allows data rates up to 155Mbps. FRM220-155MS supports 2R regeneration, which consists of re-amplification and reshaping. This converter is compatible with fiber interfaces such as 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, 155Mbps STM1 and OC3.
The transponder card converts a data signal to the correct wavelength for transmission on a specific channel by supporting SFP optics on both line side and client side interfaces. When the FRM220-2.7G-2S 3R card is placed in the FRM220 rack with SNMP management, the management can view the converter card's status, type, version, fiber link status and alarms.
SFP optics on line side to Primary or Secondary interfaces. When the FRM220-2.7G-3S 3R card is placed in the FRM220 rack with SNMP management, the management can view the converter card's status, type, version, fiber link status and alarms. The card can be configured to enable or disable the port, reset the port and set the desired data rate.
1.7.13 FRM220-10G-xx 10Gbps 3R Fiber Transponder The FRM220-10G-xx is a series of managed 10G fiber to fiber 3R repeater/transponders. Based on a number of 10 Gigabit Fiber standards, these transponders support XFP to XFP (XX), SFP+ to XFP (SX), or SFP+ to SFP+ (SS) fiber connections.
Earth Ground) central office power. The AC outlet should be capable of furnishing 90 to 250 VAC. Refer to 2.4 Electrical Installation. Allow at least 10cm (4 inch) clearance at the front of the FRM220 for the Fiber and other copper cables.
The FRM220 Media Converter Line Card may be mounted in the FRM220-CH20 chassis or serve as a stand- alone unit. When installing in the FRM220-CH01 single slot chassis, the outer cover holds the line card. The unit then serves as a stand-alone media converter that can be linked to a line card in the FRM220 chassis.
2.4 Electrical Installation With an AC power module, AC power is supplied to the FRM220 through a standard IEC C14 3-prong receptacle, located on the rear of the module. Any national power cord with IEC C13 line plug may be used to connect AC power to the power module.
2.6 Chassis Cascade The FRM220 chassis may be cascaded in such a manner that only one single IP address is required to manage up to 10 chassis in a single location. The connection diagram is shown below. Each chassis is assigned a unique ID starting at zero for the master chassis and incrementing for each cascaded chassis, up to an ID of nine.
2.7 Power Modules Removal/Replacement The Power Supply Modules in the FRM220 are available in three versions, one AC and two DC types. The universal AC version supports input voltages of 90 to 264 volts at frequencies of 47 to 63 Hertz. The DC version supports either a standard 36 to 72VDC or an optional 18 to 36VDC input voltage.
Figure 2-8 NMC removal/replacement in slot number 1 IMPORTANT: In the FRM220 In-Band Managed Rack, slot number1 must contain an NMC card. In a chassis where non- managed line cards are employed (cards that use DIP switch settings), slot number 1 may then be used for a non-managed...
The DB9F port on the NMC is a DCE (Data Communications Equipment) wired device that allows for direct 1:1 cable connection to the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) of PC's COM port. The FRM220 includes the 1:1 DB9F to DB9M serial cable for connection to PC's COM port or laptop's USB to RS-232 adapter. Any VT100 terminal emulation program for Windows may be used, including HyperTerminal™, TeraTerm, or PuTTY.
TCP/IP setting change, the NMC must be rebooted. So, ESC back to the main menu and key-in 'R' to reboot and confirm with 'Y' (yes). 3.3.4 Test TCP/IP Connection Open a command window and ping the FRM220. Make sure the network settings are correct.
3.5 Web Based Manager The FRM220 NMC supports web based management. Use your favorite browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox) and connect to the FRM220 NMC by using the NMC's IP address. Refer to the FRM220 NMC User Manual for details.
