Notice Safety Information CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS The FPIM-05 and FPIM-07 are Class 1 Laser Products CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT The FPIM-05 and FPIM-07 use Class 1 Laser transceivers. Read the following safety information before installing or operating these adapters. The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user adjustment.
Notice Safety Information CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS Laser Radiation and Connectors When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10-6 watts. Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm-2 or 8 x 103 W m2 sr-1.

Chapter 1 Introduction The 9F426-03 FDDI SmartSwitch® Module, shown in Figure 1-1, is a four port switch module with three front panel FDDI interfaces and one INB-2 backplane interface. The external FDDI networks are connected to the module using standard Cabletron FPIMs on the front panel. The 9F426-03 module employs SmartSwitch ASIC, a high performance switch design, and an Intel i960 microprocessor. Features Processor The 9F426-03 is equipped with an advanced Intel i960 microprocessor.
Introduction Cabletron enterprise MIBs. In addition, the front panel provides LEDs for FDDI link status per port, as well as transmit and receive activity. Full Duplex The 9F426-03 may be configured to operate in either Simplex or Full Duplex mode. This is selected though local management or via SNMP. Connectivity The 9F426-03 module has one interface to the INB-2 and three front panel FDDI interfaces. The front panel connections are via standard Cabletron FPIMs.

Chapter 2 Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module This module uses FPIMs for the front panel connections. They are not shipped with the module and must be purchased separately. For more information on FPIMs, see Appendix A. Unpacking the Module 1. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.) 2. Remove the module from the plastic bag. Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). 3.

Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module The Reset Switch The Reset switch is located under the top plastic tab as shown in Figure 2-4. Use the reset switch to reset the module’s processor, shutdown (power down) the module, and/or restart the module. • • • To reset the module’s i960 processor, press the reset switch twice within three seconds. To shutdown the module, press and hold the reset switch for three or more seconds. To restart the module, press the reset switch momentarily.

Chapter 3 Operation The 9F426-03 FDDI SmartSwitch Module is a four port switch module with three front panel FDDI interfaces and one INB-2 backplane interface. As shown in Figure 3-1, packets are received at the front panel FDDI ports and the INB-2 bus. These packets are converted into canonical format. The SmartSwitch ASIC circuitry decides from header information where the packets should be sent. They are then converted from canonical format to the proper format for that interface.
Operation SMB-1 Bus The SMB-1 is a 1Mbs management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000. This bus is utilized by all diagnostic controllers in the system including connectivity modules, power supply modules and the environmental module. The SMB-1 transports inter-chassis information between system components, such as power and environmental information, as well as diagnostic messages. Periodic loop-back tests are performed by all modules that share this bus to ensure the validity of SMB-1.
Operation INB Interface Each module that attaches to the INB has an INB Network Interface Block (NIB). The INB NIB converts canonical frames to fixed length data blocks for transmission onto the INB. For data blocks received from the INB, the INB NIB reassembles the data blocks received from the INB back into canonical frames for transmission to the SmartSwitch ASIC then from the SmartSwitch ASIC to the front panel ports.
Operation i960 Core The i960 core provides the SNMP protocol stacks to support industry standard MIBs. Additionally, Cabletron enterprise extension MIBs are supported for each media type. Advanced management services, such as the Distributed LAN Monitor, telnet and network address to MAC address mapping, are also provided by the i960 core. The Host engine sends and receives packets via the CPU SmartSwitch ASIC Interface.
