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 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.
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. A variety of cards are available that
support multi-mode or single-mode fiber types and connections to SC, ST, FC or even the latest bi-
directional single fiber WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing) in ranges from 2Km to 120Km. Converter
cards include Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Serial (RS-485, RS-232 and RS-422), ITU-T G.703 E1
and T1, Synchronous and Asynchronous Datacom (V.35, RS-530, X.21, RS-449, and RS-232),
155.52M STM-1 repeater, transponders for 2.7G, 4G and 10G, FXO/FXS over fiber and more as the
product matures.
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) and/or DC power source (18-36VDC). 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.
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.
