2.2.1 DFG48000 and DFG48000R chassis The DFG48000 is a 19” rack-mountable Ethernet Switch with three eight port slots (A, B, and C) and one Gb-only slot (D) for configuration flexibility. Slots A, B and C may be configured with any of a large selection of fiber and copper port types and combinations of types, typically eight ports per module, but sometimes 6 or 4 ports or even one Gb port.
The DFG480XX Combo six-port modules are also available with 4@ MTRJ 100Mb mm SFF fiber and 2@10Mb fiber mm ST ports, and with 4@ RJ45 10/100 copper and 2@10Mb fiber mm ST ports. The 4@ RJ-45 + 2@ 10 Mb ST operation of the SFF fiber and the RJ-45 half of the module is as described for those port types above.
2.2.8 Gigabit (1000Mbps) port modules The DFG48000 offered a wide option Gigabit speed with multiple choices for the modular slot. While up to two Gigabit modules (maxm.) can be configured in the modular slot. The Gigabit port option for the modular slot comes in couple of different configuration. The Giga port has been offered as single Gigabit module comes in flavor of G+4(10/100 RJ-45 ports) or G+2 (100Mb fiber ports) as shown below.
The DFG480XX Modules provide a GBIC opening for insertion of industry-standard GBICs to provide Gigabit (Gb) media flexibility. GBIC models are available for both multi-mode (550m) and single- mode 20 and 40 km fiber options, and for Gigabit copper as well, with new models appearing often. The 1000Mb Gigabit fiber-port modules on the DFG48000s are normally set (factory default) to operate at AUTO mode for best fiber distance and performance.
Standard AC power input is IEC plug, 100-240VAC auto-ranging for worldwide use. Heavy-duty design for Industrial Ethernet and extended temperature operation Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Dante Security DFG48000 design provides for this with heavy-duty components. The ambient temperature can be up to 55°C.
2.4 Applications DFG48000 Fiber Switches offer high performance and modularity. They provide the flexibility of 100Mbps fiber and copper ports as well as Gigabit ports, with industry-standard LAN management software. DFG48000 Switches are easily used in a variety of applications including MANs (metropolitan area networks) client/server computing, secure VLAN- performance upgrades to departmental networks, and LAN traffic centers require Gb backbone services.
Ethernet media types. 3.1 Locating DFG48000 Switches The location of a Dante Security DFG480XX Switch is dependent on the physical layout of the network. Typically the Switch is placed in a central wiring location where groups of network devices need to be connected in order to communicate with each other. These Switches are typically rack mounted in a wiring closet see Section 3.3.2 below), but because they have rubber feet they can also...
3.2 Connecting Ethernet Media The DFG48000 Switches are specifically designed to support all standard Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit. This is accomplished by using a family of different port Modules which can be individually selected and configured per-port. See Section 2.4 for a description of the PMs.
Media IEEE Standard Connector Twisted Pair (CAT 5E) 1000BASE-T RJ-45 NOTE: It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5E cables (which work for both 100 Mb and 1000Mb) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a mixed-speed network.

3.3.2 Rack-mounting, Reverse version of the DFG48000s The optional Reverse DFG48000 Model has all of the cabling (Ethernet cabling, power cabling and console port cabling) connectors in the rear, and the status LEDs in the front. The status LEDs that are co-incident with the ports are still present there and a second or dual set of LEDs are used for status visibility in the front of the unit, showing the same data.
3.4 Powering the DFG48000 Managed Fiber Switch The DFG48000 Switches incorporate an internal universal power supply and have a recessed male IEC connector for the AC power cord at the left-rear. A manual power ON-OFF switch is adjacent. A six-foot 115 VAC 60 Hz standard power cord is supplied with each unit shipped within the United States and Canada.
3.5.1 Preparation for Installing and Removing DFG48000 STOP!!! Be sure the power cord and connections for all powers single or dual, is unplugged from the chassis before attempting to remove and/or replace any PM cards. Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit and will void the warranty.

3.5.2 Installing DFG480XX Cards in the DFG48000 Up to four front-mounted DFG480XX cards may be installed in one DFG48000 Managed Fiber Switch unit. Follow these steps to install a DFG480XX. Step1. Remove top chassis cover. See procedure in Section 3.5.1 above. Step2.

Step4. Hold the daughter board with both hands at the end and align the two cream color latching connectors (male) placed at the bottom of the daughter board with the other female connector placed on the Granddaughter and main board. As shown below in Fig. 3.5.2e Step5.
Step7. Once the installation of granddaughter and daughter modules is done, the front panel screen plates need to be placed on the front of the chassis cover to complete the installation process for that port module. The front panel screen plate comes along with the package of port module separately along with brackets and 6 #256 flat head screws.
Note: For detail description of Managed Network Software and DFG48000 Switch configuration for Network Management, please refer to DFG48000 Software Manual available on www.dantesecurity.net. Detail info about the MNS is available on 2.2.9 of this manual. 3.6.1 RS-232 (DB-9) Console Com port (Serial port) pin assignments The above provided information enables a managed station (a PC or Console terminal) to connect directly to the switch using a straight through cable.
4.0 OPERATION This chapter describes the functions and operation of the DFG48000. 4.1 Switching Functionality A DFG48000 provides switched connectivity at Ethernet wire-speed among all of its ports. The DFG48000 supports10/100Mbs for copper media and 10 or 100Mb separate traffic domains for fiber ports to maximize bandwidth utilization and network performance.
One frequently-used application for the Managed DFG48000 Switch copper ports is to connect one of them using a fiber media converter to another Switch in the network backbone, or to some other remote 100Mb device. In this case, it is desirable to operate the fiber link at 100Mb speed, and at either half- or full duplex mode depending on the capabilities of the remote device.
4.6 Power Budget Calculations for DFG48000 PM’s with Fiber Media Receiver Sensitivity and Transmitter Power are the parameters necessary to compute the power budget. To calculate the power budget of different fiber media installations using DFG48000 products, the following equations should be used: OPB (Optical Power Budget) = PT (min) - PR (min) where PT = Transmitter Output Power, and PR = Receiver Sensitivity Worst case OPB = OPB - 1dB (for LED aging) - 1dB (for insertion loss)

5.2.1a DFG380XX, 4@10/100Mbps RJ-45 and 2@10Mb multi-mode FX-ST “twist lock” Combo Module The DFG380XX is a six port combo module that looks similar to the 100Mb combo module with the exception of 10Mb speed at the ST fiber module. The ST-connector functions as a fiber optic transceiver to support 10BASE-FX network segments.
5.2.2. DFG380XX 4@10/100Mbps RJ-45 and 2@100Mb multi-mode FX-SC “snap-in” Fiber connector The DFG480XX is also a Combo 6 Port module equipped with 4 10/100Mb RJ-45 ports along with 2 multimode 100Mbps fiber Optic transceivers all in one module. It has LEDs indicating port activity (ACT), Link (LK), and FDX / HDX and 10/100 operation, and the same face-plate lettering.
5.2.5 DFG48G024EYRL 2@ 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 and 2@100Mb single-mode FX, LC Small-Form-Factor The DFG48G024EYRL 6 port Module is a combo module with copper and fiber (Small Form Factor) LC type fiber ports. The small size of LC connectors give an advantage of placing more ports on one module.
