L2 switch and interface cards are hot swappable allowing online field replacement. An additional feature allows FRM220A to detect the working or failing status either of power module or any fan assembly in the unit and activate relays that can be used to control external alarm devices.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.2 Chassis Front Description The front of FRM220A 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 GSW/SNMP (Network Management Controller) card in rear slot and in-band manageable line cards in any front slot numbered 1 through 20.
1.6 GSW/SNMP (Aggregate Switch) FRM220A must be ordered with an aggregate Card. The card is placed in the rear of the chassis and provides backplane connection to each card slot. Management is accomplished either via Ethernet and any standard SNMP network management software that supports MIB-II.
10/100/1000Base-TX and 1000Base-SX/LX with SFP-LC connector. With SNMP agent and GUI Web- based management in FRM220A, 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.
16E1/ET100 features diagnostic capabilities for performing remote loopback. The operator at either end of the line may test both the FRM220A-16E1/ET100 and the line in the digital loopback mode. The Ethernet copper interface supports auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX, allowing plug-and-play Ethernet connection without any additional configuration.
LANs over single E1 transports. The FRM220A-EoE1 transmits up to a 1.8Mbps Ethernet bridge channel (HDLC encapsulated) over 1 E1 link. The FRM220A-EoE1 supports an E1 attenuation of up to 43 dB on twisted pair or coax cable. This provides an approximate operating range up to 2km (using 22AWG). The FRM220A-EoE1 fully meets E1 specifications including ITU-T G.703 and G.823.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.10 FRM220A-E1/Data Fractional E1 DSU/CSU Card The FRM220A-E1/DATA slide in card DSU/CSU is a digital access unit for Unframed or Fractional E1 services. The FRM220A-E1/DATA data channel supports user-selectable transmission rates via randomly selected E1 timeslots, which provides integral multiples of 64kbps or 56kbps, up to a maximum 2.048Mbps (unframed), for a line attenuation of up to 43 dB on twisted pair or coax cable.
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 FRM220A for the Fiber and other copper cables.
FRM220A Media Converter Line Card may be mounted in FRM220A-CH20 chassis or serve as a stand-alone units. When installing in 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 FRM220A-CH20 chassis. FRM220-CH01-AC(DC), single...
2.4 Electrical Installation With an AC power module, AC power is supplied to FRM220A 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 Power Modules Removal/Replacement The Power Supply Modules in FRM220A are available in three versions, one AC and two DC types. The universal AC version supports input voltages of 100 to 240 volts at frequencies of 47 to 63 Hertz. The DC version supports either a standard 36 to 75VDC or an optional 18 to 36VDC input voltage.
Cards designed specifically for FRM220A also connect to the L2 Gigabit Switch backplane. All converter cards are designed to be "hot" swappable, meaning FRM220A chassis need not be powered off in order to remove or replace a card. Removal and installation of converter cards with the rack chassis under power will not effect the operation of other converter cards.
