Chassis with built-in power are available with single AC (90-240VAC), single DC (18~75VDC), dual AC, dual DC or AC plus DC combo.
2.2 Electrical Installation With a built-in AC power chassis, AC power is supplied to the chassis through a standard IEC C14 3-prong receptacle, located on the rear of the chassis. Any national power cord with IEC C13 line plug may be used to connect AC power to the power module. With a built-in DC power chassis, DC -48V is connected to the terminal block located on the rear of the chassis, observing the proper polarity.

Quality of service is the ability to provide different priority levels to different applications, users, or data, or to guarantee a certain level of performance for data. Real time applications benefit the most when a system of QoS is employed. Examples are for voice and video over IP. In Ethernet, QoS is dependent on VLAN tagged packets. This is because the QoS priority bits (3 bits) are included in the VLAN tag. Without VLAN tags, there are no priority bits, and no way to set QoS Priority.

3.2 Web Login 3.2.1 Introduction In an effort to make Networking devices easier to configure, many devices can now be configured via a Web Page, which should be familiar to all Internet users. The web page is accessed by the Default IP Address of the device from a Web Browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox in the following way: 10.1.1.1/ (Assuming the Default IP Address is 10.1.1.
3.2.
3.2.4 System Information, Network Information The information displayed on this page gives specific device, network information, and port status for the local FRM220-1000MS and for any remote that is accessible via IEEE802.3ah OAM in-band management.
3.2.5 System Information, DD Information The DD or DDOM information is read from the MSA compliant SFP module and can be displayed via the web user interface. 3.2.6 Local Settings If you have reviewed section 3.1 of this chapter, then you will already be familiar with these settings and their actions. We will go through the settings here again, but not with as much detail. For detail, please review section 3.1.
3.2.6.1 IP Configuration Use this screen to set the TCP/IP configuration for the local unit. Note, that if you change the IP address you could lose remote management for this device. Remember to save settings under the “Tools” menu. 3.2.6.2 Password Setting Key in the current password and type in the new password twice, then click the “Apply” button.
3.2.6.3 Converter Configuration All of these special functions are explained in Section 3.1.8 of this chapter. Select the proper radio buttons and the click the “Apply” button. Remember to save settings under the “Tools” menu.
3.2.6.4 Port Configuration This screen is for the configuration of the electrical Ethernet port (TP) and the optical port (FX). The options include enabling or disabling the port, setting auto or forced Ethernet mode, enabling 802.3X (flow control), and setting ingress and egress rate limiting. Note that rate limiting has a granularity of 64K so the rate can be set from 64k to 1000M in 64K steps. 3.2.6.
3.2.6.
3.2.6.7 VLAN Group Configuration FRM220-1000MS supports up to 16 VLAN groups. By using the check boxes for each port, the access to different VIDs can be controlled.
3.2.6.8 VLAN Per Port Configuration In FRM220-1000MS there are actually three different ports, the external copper and fiber ports, plus the internal CPU port. The VLAN Per Port Setting page deals with how frames exit (egress) the copper, fiber and CPU (management). These are the Frame Egress Type. The following operations may be performed to the outgoing frames: <1>: Replace Tag The switch will remove VLAN tags from packets then add new tags to them. The inserted tag is defined in ”VLAN Group Index”.
3.2.7 Remote Settings When 802.3ah is active in both the local and remote unit (with fiber connection), the in-band management provides an embedded channel to control and configure the remote by using OAM (layer 2) Ethernet packets. The same settings available to the local unit are available under the Remote Setting menu, with the exception of password setting and Counters. 3.2.8 802.3ah OAM Functions This converter supports IEEE 802.3ah, an OAM protocol that operates at Ethernet Layer 2 (Data Link layer).
3.2.8.1 802.3ah Configuration To use the OAM functions, the 802.3ah Functions setting must be enabled. It is not enabled by default. The 802.3ah mode is used to configure an OAM pair. In a pair, one unit must be ‘active’, while the other must be ‘passive’. We typically place the remote converter (CPE) in ‘passive’ mode and make the local converter ‘active’. ‘Passive’ is the default setting when 802.3ah function is enabled. In order to do Remote Loop Back test, the option must be enabled in both converters.
3.2.8.2 Loop back Test The loop back test is a non-intrusive test which uses OAM packets and will not affect normal transmissions. The number of OAM frames used (the number of times the loop back is done) is set by the Send Packet Number. The default is 1 packet. The Packet Length (Not including CRC) controls the packet size of the OAM frames used for loop back testing. The default is 60 bytes. The CRC of Ethernet packets uses 4 bytes. Valid Ethernet packets range in size from 64 bytes to 1518 bytes.
3.2.8.3 802.3ah Status The Global Config fields display the state of OAM, if OAM is enabled. We can also see the MAC addresses of the local and remote units in the OAM manageable pair. The Flags Field list the results of individual events based on the results of OAM protocol data units (OAMPDUs). Lastly, when two OAM devices start negotiation, there is Discovery Information passed between them. The results are shown here.
Most information carried by OAMPDU is encoded using type-length-value (TLV) format. The first octet (or byte) of the OAMPDU indicates the type. This type is used to let the OAM client know how to decode the bytes containing the information. The next octet carries the length of the information. This display has TLV information for both the local and remote OAM units.
One of the most critical problems in an access network for carriers is differentiating between a simple power failure at the customer premise and an equipment or facility failure. Dying gasp provides this information by having a station indicate to the network that it is having a power failure. If remote management is lost, we simply need to check the Remote Dying Gasp Count register to see if it has been incremented. 3.2.
3.2.9.1 System Reboot When the converter is rebooted, all counters and registers are cleared and the converter starts fresh. If OAM is enabled, the discovery process will start. After selecting the System Reboot menu item, a confirmation dialogue box will pop up. Click “OK” to reboot the converter or click “Cancel” to leave without rebooting. The converter requires about 20~25 seconds to fully reboot. 3.2.9.2 Save and Restore After performing configuration of the converter, the settings must be saved.
3.2.9.3 Firmware Upgrade If bugs are discovered, if functions are added, or if factory default settings are changed, the firmware in the converter will require upgrading. The only method to do upgrade for this converter is through the local Web (HTTP) user interface. The firmware image is uploaded from the browser (Post), it is checked for integrity, the flash is erased and then the flash is written with the new image. DO NOT LET ANY POWER INTERRUPTION OCCUR DURING THE UPGRADE PROCEDURE.
3.2.10 Logout Logging out will ensure that the management session with FRM220-1000MS is terminated. This is especially important if you are using a public computer to manage the device. Once logged out, a password must be entered to access FRM220-1000MS again. Click the “OK” button to completely log out. Click the “Cancel” button to return to configuration of FRM220-1000MS. 3.3 Troubleshooting 3.3.1 Factory Default. Apply power to FRM220-1000MS and allow 25-30 seconds to fully boot.
3.3.2 LED Observations 3.3.2.1 Power On At initial power on, PWR LED will be lit. Error conditions : If all LEDs immediately light and never turn off, or if no LED ever lights, then the card is possibly defective. Be sure to double check power source and try either another FRM220-1000MS in the same chassis or try the card in a different chassis. 3.3.2.2 UTP Link Test.
3.3.3.2 Console Check Connect a dumb terminal (or PC running terminal emulation) to the CONSOLE port of the CH01M one-slot chassis. Set the terminal configuration for 38.4K, 8bit, no parity, 1 stop and now flow control. When FRM220-1000MS is running normally, there should be a terminal display with either the main page or a password login prompt. If no terminal display, it indicates some internal problem with the unit. 3.3.3.
