SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
SINGLE MODE NETWORK EXPANSION MODULES USE CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS.
READ THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INFORMATION
BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THESE MODULES.
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. Class 1 Laser transceivers comply with the following safety standards:
•21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).
•IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).
•CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).
When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible emission limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous.
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.
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.

SecureStack A2 Installation Guide 1-1
Overview
Overview
The A2H124 24FX is a stackable Fast Ethernet switch, which can be adapted and scaled to help meet your network needs. This switch provides a management platform and uplinks to a network backbone for a stacked group of up to eight A2 switches. The two built in Small Form Pluggable (SFP) interface slots provide you with the option of installing Mini GBICs. The various versions of hot swappable Mini GBICs provide you with the flexibility to install interfaces that support:
•1000BASE T Ethernet over copper connections for 10/100/1000 Mbps
•1000BASE SX/LX/ELX fiber optic connections for 1 Gbps fiber optic connections
The switch also supports the use of a redundant DC power supply to help prevent downtime due to an internal power supply failure in the switch or AC power source.
You can install the SecureStack A2 on a flat surface or into a standard 19 inch rack with user supplied mounting hardware, and configure the SecureStack A2 functions using the WebView™ application, CLI switching commands, and/or SNMP.
A2H124-24FX
The A2H124 24FX (Figure 1 1) has several types of front panel ports and rear panel connections, which include:
•Twenty Four 100BASE FX multimode MT RJ Ports
•Two SFP slots labeled port 27 and 28 that support
–optional Mini GBIC 1000BASE T Ethernet over copper interface connections for 10/100/1000 Mbps operation
–optional 1000BASE SX/LX/ELX fiber optic connections
•Two 1000BASE T RJ45 Ports which can be used in a stack configuration as well as standard Gigabit Ethernet switch ports when configured as a standalone switch.
•Rear panel Redundant Power Supply connector for a redundant power supply connection. The switch connects to an Enterasys C2RPS SYS using a C2RPS PSM Cable.
Caution: The A2H124-24FX is not a PoE-compliant device. Do not connect a SecureStack C2 PoE Redundant Power System (C2RPS-POE) to the power connector. Otherwise, damage to the device may result.
Precaución: El dispositivo A2H124-24FX no cumple con el estándar PoE. No conecte una fuente de poder redundante (RPS) SecureStack C2 PoE (C2RPS-POE) al cable de corriente directa. De lo contrario, el dispositivo puede dañarse.
Note: The 1000BASE-T built-in RJ45 stacking ports 25 and 26 on the A2H124-24FX can be configured as standard 10/100/1000BASE-T switch ports, using the command “set switch stackport <ethernet | stack>” when the unit is in standalone mode (not stacked).

Stack Connections
The switch has front panel RJ45 ports 25 and 26 for connections in a stack configuration. The stacking cables used for the connections are standard Category 5 or better UTP cable.
Redundant Power Supply Capability
The SecureStack A2 has power supply redundancy capability when connected to an optional external redundant power supply (RPS). If the internal power supply fails, the RPS assumes the entire load of the SecureStack A2 without interrupting network traffic. The internal power supply and RPS each have their own AC power connection, which enables the connection of each power supply to a different AC power circuit for additional AC power source redundancy.
Caution: The A2H124-24FX is not a PoE-compliant device. Do not connect a SecureStack PoE Redundant Power System (C2RPS-POE) to the power connector. Otherwise, damage to the device may result.
Precaución: Los dispositivos A2H124-24FX no cumplen con el estándar PoE (power over ethernet). No conecte una fuente de poder redundante (RPS) SecureStack PoE (C2RPS-POE) al cable de corriente. De lo contrario, el dispositivo puede dañarse.

Management
Management
Management of the module can be either in band or out of band. In band remote management is possible using Telnet, Enterasys Networks’ NetSight® management application, or the WebView application. Out of band management is provided through the DB9 Console port connector on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator.
Switch Configuration Using WebView
Enterasys Networks’ HTTP based Web management application (WebView) is an intuitive web tool for simple management tasks.
Switch Configuration Using CLI Commands
The CLI commands enable you to perform more complete SecureStack A2 configuration management tasks.
For CLI command set information and how to configure the module, refer to the
SecureStack A2 Configuration Guide.
Standards Compatibility
The A2H128 24FX is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 2002, 802.3ae 2002, 802.1D 1998, and 802.1Q 1998 standards. The SecureStack A2 provides IEEE 802.1D 1998 Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop” conditions.
LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs
LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by providing an easy way to observe the status of individual ports and overall network operations.
