1.0 Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 8-slot FRM220 Platform Fiber Media Converter Rack. If you would like to skip right
to the installation of the Converter Chassis, proceed to Chapter 2.
This manual is used to explain the hardware installation procedures for the 8-slot Converter Rack and present
its capabilities and specifications. This manual is divided into 3 Sections, the Introduction, the Installation, plus a
Management Quick Start. The Management Quick Start includes further information on options for placing the
device in service.
Installers should carefully read Chapter 2, Installation. Network Administrators should read Chapter 3,
Management Quick Start.
The companion document, the FRM220 NMC User Manual , is available in electronic format only. The divisions
in that manual are intended for use by personnel to answer questions in general areas. Planners and potential
purchasers may read the Introduction to determine the suitability of the product to its intended use; Operating
Personnel would use the Operations and Web Based Management Chapters and Appendices to become familiar
with the many different line cards and settings. Network Administrators should read the chapters on Operation,
Web Based Management and Trouble Shooting to become familiar with the diagnostic capabilities, network
settings and management strategies for the SNMP managed chassis.
1.1 Functional Description
The FRM220-CH08 is a 1U high 19" Rack, 8 slot modular media converter center. The Modular Media
Chassis provides an economic solution for high density Fiber Converter installations in enterprises or central
offices. All critical components, Power, fans, management module and interface cards are hot swappable allowing
online field replacement. An additional feature allows the
Media Chassis 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.
There are 8 slots available for installation of FRM220 Cards in the Media Chassis compact rack. An SNMP
Card is installed in the far-left hand, upper slot, for local and remote management purposes. Each FRM220 Card is
an independent media converter. When linked to a compatible FRM220 Series stand-alone or "I" series FMC
(Fiber Media Converter) stand-alone converter, complete in-band management is supported. All settings of the line
card and remote connected stand-alone device may be managed through any of the available management
interfaces.
The Media Chassis optionally incorporates redundant power modules. The supply, depending on the model,
derives its power from an AC power source (100 ~ 240VAC) and/or DC power source (36-60VDC). When two
modules are installed, they provide for power redundancy and are hot swappable even during the Line Cards'
transmissions. The Line Cards provide all copper and fiber interface connections on the face of each Line Card,
along with status indicator LEDs. The status LED indicators provide for quick indications of both copper and fiber
link statuses and fault detection.
1.2 Chassis Front Description
The front of the 8-Slot Chassis contains the line card slots. They are numbered 1 through 8. The typical
configuration is with one NMC ( Network Management Controller ) card in slot number 1 and in-band manageable
line cards in any other slot numbered 2 through 8.
