SAFETY OVERVIEW Any warning or caution that appears in this manual is defined as follows: ! WARNING Warns against an action that could result in equipment damage, personal injury, or death. VORSICHT Enthält Informationen, die beachtet werden müssen um den Benutzer vor Schaden zu bewahren. DANGER Signale les informations destinées à prévenir les accidents corporels. AVISO Contiene información para evitar daños personales. CAUTION Contains information essential to avoid damage to the equipment.
PAGE 20
Safety SAFETY REQUIREMENTS The warnings or cautions that must be observed for the hardware described in this manual are listed below in English, German, French, and Spanish. WARNING Only qualified personnel should install this unit. VORSICHT Diese Einheit darf nur von qualifizierten Fachleuten installiert oder gewartet werden. DANGER L'installation et la maintenance de cet appareil sont réservées à un personnel qualifié.
PAGE 21
Safety Requirements DANGER DELF3-UI utilise les lasers de la Classe 1. N'utilisez pas d'instruments d'optique pour voir la sortie du laser. Leur usage augmente les risques de lésions oculaires. Lorsque vous voyez le port optique de la sortie, vous devez couper l'alimentation de l'adaptateur de réseau. AVISO DELF3-UI utiliza lásers Clase 1. No utilice instrumentos ópticos para ver la salida de láser. El uso de instrumentos ópticos para ver una salida de láser incrementa los daños en los ojos.
PAGE 22
Safety ! CAUTION Failure to observe static safety precautions could cause damage to the DLE22-MA and DLE23-MA and DLE32-MA and DLE33-MA. Follow static safety handling rules and properly wear the antistatic wrist strap provided with the DLM6C-AA chassis. Do not cut the non-conductive bag to remove the module. Damage could result from sharp objects contacting the board or components.
PAGE 23
Safety Requirements PRECAUCIÓN Si no se observan las precauciones de seguridad estática, se pueden dañar DLE22-MA y DLE23-MA y DLE 32-MA y DLE33-MA. Siga las reglas de transporte de seguridad estática y utilice de manera adecuada la banda antiestática para la muñeca que se proporciona con el chasis DLM6C-AA. No corte la bolsa no conductora para retirar el módulo. La placa o los componentes podrían dañarse si hay un contacto con objetos agudos.
PAGE 24
Safety CAUTION An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be maintained between devices so that the transmit port of one device is connected to the receive port of the other device and vice versa. If the fiber optic cable being used has SC style connectors that do not resemble MIC style connectors, or has SC connectors on one end and a different type on the other, such as ST connectors, ensure that the proper crossing over occurs.
PAGE 25
Safety Requirements PRECAUCIÓN Un número impar de diagonales (de preferencia uno) se debe mantener entre los dispositivos para que el puerto de transmisión de un dispositivo esté conectado al puerto de recepción del otro dispositivo y viceversa. Si el cable de fibra óptica que se está utilizando tiene conectores de tipo SC que no se parezcan a conectores de estilo MIC, o tenga conectores SC en un extremo y un tipo diferente en el otro, como conectores ST, asegúrese de que se realice el cruce adecuado.
PAGE 26
Safety PRECAUCIÓN No toque los extremos de las bandas de fibra óptica y, no permita que los contactos estén en contacto con polvo, suciedad u otros contaminantes. La contaminación de los extremos causa problemas en la transmisión de datos. Si los extremos se contaminan, limpie las superficies con un limpiador adecuado. Para limpiar el puerto, también se puede utilizar una esponja saturada de alcohol isopropílico de grado óptico para limpiar los extremos.
PAGE 27
Safety Requirements ACHTUNG Bevor Sie die Einstellungen des COM-Ports ändern, stellen Sie sicher, daß für das Modul oder das Gehäuse eine gültige IP-Adresse eingestellt ist. Lesen Sie den gesamten Abschnitt zur COM-Port-Konfiguration, bevor Sie die Einstellungen des COM-Ports ändern. ATTENTION Avant de modifier les paramètres du port COM, assurez-vous qu'une adresse IP valable a été attribuée au module ou au châssis.
PAGE 28
Safety PRECAUCIÓN NO desactive ni cambie los parámetros del puerto COM mientras esté operando la conexión actual de gestión local Local Management (LM) a través de un terminal. Si lo hace, se desconectará el terminal LM del puerto, y se terminará la sesión de LM. CAUTION If the COM port is reconfigured without a valid IP address set on the module or chassis, the message shown in Figure 5-20 displays. Do not continue unless the outcome of the action is fully understood.
PAGE 29
Safety Requirements ATTENTION Si vous sortez sans enregistrer, le message "NOT SAVED - PRESS SAVE TO KEEP CHANGES" (Non enregistré - Appuyez sur SAVE pour conserver les modifications) s'affiche. Toutes vos modifications seront perdues. PRECAUCIÓN Si sale sin guardar, aparecerá el mensaje "NOT SAVED -- PRESS SAVE TO KEEP CHANGES" (NO SE HA GUARDADO PULSE GUARDAR PARA CONSERVAR LOS CAMBIOS). Si sale sin guardar se perderán todos los cambios.
PAGE 30
Safety ATTENTION Lorsque le port COM est configuré pour une application UPS, toute future connexion Local Management doit se faire en établissant une connexion Telnet au module. Assurez-vous que celui-ci possède une adresse IP valable avant d'enregistrer les modifications apportées au port COM. Si le module n'est pas doté d'une adresse IP valable et que les modifications sont enregistrées, reportez-vous à l'Annexe C pour apprendre comment initialiser la NVRAM avant de rétablir des communications COM.
PAGE 31
Safety Requirements CAUTION If the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA are being bridged to an FDDI ring (for example, via an DELHF-UA installed in the DLE3X-MA) IP Fragmentation should be enabled. If IP Fragmentation is disabled, all FDDI frames that exceed the maximum Ethernet frame size will be discarded. ACHTUNG Wenn DLE2X-MA und DLE3X-MA per Bridge an einen FDDI-Ring angeschlossen werden (Beispiel: über einen DELHF-UA, der im DLE3X-MA installiert ist), sollte IP-Fragmentierung aktiviert werden.
PAGE 32
Safety CAUTION The Fast Ethernet Interface Module and the host module are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could damage the Fast Ethernet Interface Module or the host module. ACHTUNG Das schnelle Ethernet-Schnittstellenmodul und das Hostsystemmodul sind für statische Entladungen empfindlich.
PAGE 33
Safety Requirements PRECAUCIÓN Al instalar un módulo DELFX-UI o DELF3-UI en el módulo de host, retire el enchufe de caucho del conector SC antes de continuar. CAUTION When inserting the Fast Ethernet Interface Module into the motherboard connector ensure that the pins do not bend, as this can damage both the Fast Ethernet Interface Module and the motherboard connector.

DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA Overview 1.1.1 Connectivity The DLE22-MA and DLE32-MA connect to Ethernet networks or workstations through 24 RJ45 ports on the front panel. These ports support UTP connections up to 100 meters. The ports are IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T compliant. The DLE23-MA and DLE33-MA connect to Ethernet networks or workstations through two RJ21 connectors on the front panel. These connectors support 25 pair cable at lengths up to 100 meters. The ports are IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T compliant.
PAGE 38
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1.4 Management Management of the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA is accomplished using Local Management tools or remote SNMP management stations. Local Management is accessible through the RS232 COM port on the front panel using a local VT100 terminal, or a remote VT100 terminal via a modem connection, and in-band via a Telnet connection. In-band remote management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network Management Software. 1.1.

CHAPTER 5 LOCAL MANAGEMENT This chapter explains how to set up a management terminal to access DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA Local Management. It also explains how to use the Local Management screens and commands. The Local Management screens shown in this chapter are for the DLE22-MA. The DLE32-MA, DLE33-MA and DLE23-MA share most of the following Local Management screens. All Local Management functions specific to any of the interface modules are preceded by a Note to alert the reader. 5.
PAGE 66
Chapter 5: Local Management • Configure the Fast Ethernet Interface Modules of the DLE2X-MA and the HSIM of the DLE3X-MA. There are three ways to access Local Management: • Locally using a VT type terminal connected to the COM port of the DLE3X-MA or DLE2X-MA. • Remotely using a VT type terminal connected through a modem. • In-band through a Telnet connection. 5.2 LOCAL MANAGEMENT KEYBOARD CONVENTIONS All key names appear as capital letters in this manual.
