SAFETY INFORMATION

CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS

THE GPIM-01 AND GPIM-09 GIGABIT ETHERNET 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 Electrotechni cal 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.

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

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

Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser ou tput increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.

1-2 Introduction

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Overview

1.1.1 Connectivity

The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch connects to Ethernet networks or workstations through the four RJ21 connectors on the front panel. These ports support Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms at lengths up to 100 meters. These ports are IEEE 802.3u 10BASE-TX compliant.

The 6E233-49 has a slot for an optional HSIM to provide additional connectivity to various networking technologies.

1.1.2 Auto-Negotiation

The front panel ports on the 6E233-49 SmartSwitch module have the ability to auto-negotiate the type of connection required to provide a link to another device. During Auto-Negotiation, two

devices automatically exchange information “telling” each other what their operating capabilities are. The Auto-Negotiation featu re targets the maximum capabilities that can be reached betwe en the two devices.

When Auto-Negotiation is supported at both ends of a link, the two devices dynamically adjust to full or half duplex operation based on the maximum capability that can be reached between the two devices. If the device connected to the 6E233-49 SmartSwitch cannot auto-negotiate, the 6E233-49 SmartSwitch interface operates according to the capabilities of the other device.

1.1.3 Runtime IP Address Discovery

This feature enables the module to automatically accept an IP address from a Boot Strap Protocol (BootP) server on the network into NVRAM without requiring a user to enter an IP address through Local Management.

When the module is connected to the network and powered up, Runtime IP Address Discovery (RAD) checks the module for an IP address. If one has not yet been assigned (module and 6C105 chassis IP addre ss set t o 0.0.0.0), RAD checks to see if any of the module interf aces have a link. If so, RAD sends out Rev er se Addr es s Resolution Protocol (RARP) and BootP requests to obtain an IP address from a RARP or BootP server on the network.

The RAD requests start out at an interval of one second. The interval then doubles after every transmission until an interval of 300 seconds is reached. At this point, the interval remains at 300 seconds. The RAD requests contin ue u ntil an IP a ddress is re cei ved from a RARP or BootP serv er, or an IP address is entered using Local Management.

NOTENOTENOTENOTE

The module will reboot after RAD is successful.

Overview

1.1.4 Full Duplex Switched Ethernet

Each switched Ethernet port on the 6E233-49 SmartSwitch can be configured to operate in Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSE) mode. FDSE allows each port to provide up to 20 Mbps of bandwidth.

1.1.5 SmartTrunk

SmartTrunk, also referred to as SmartTrunking, is Cabletron Systems’ terminology for load balancing or load sharing. SmartTrunk technology provides an easy-to-implement mechanism to group, or aggregate, multiple links of any technology together to scale the backbone bandwidth beyond the limitations of a single link. All links are user-configurable so administrators can scale the backbone bandwidth by adding SmartTrunk links. The benefits of SmartTrunking include the following:

• All purchased bandwidth is used.

• Distributed, resilient links increase reliability and performance.

• Multiple technologies are supported within a single trunk for maximum flexibility.

NOTE

For information on SmartTrunk configuration, refer to the Cabletron Systems

SmartTrunk User’s Guide

.

1.1.6 Remote Monitoring (RMON)

The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch supports all nine Ethernet RMON groups, which include Statistics, Alarms, Events and History. These groups are enabled on all ports by default.

Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor-specific extension of RMON and provides the

ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can be triggered by any RMON Event and/or Alarm. An example of an Action would be to turn off a MIB-2 interface if a broadcast threshold is crossed.

1.1.7 Broadcast Suppression

Broadcast Suppressi on enables a user to s et a desire d limit of re cei ve br oadcas t frames per port/per second to be forwarded out the other ports on t he module up to the set li mit. An y broadc ast fr ames above this specified limit are dropped. In the event that broadcast frames are being suppressed, multicast and unicast frames continue to be switched.

1-4 Introduction

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Overview

1.1.8 Port/VLAN Redirect Functions

The port redirect function, also referred to as “Port Mirroring,” is a troubleshooting tool used to map traffic from a single source port to a single destination port within the device. This feature allows frames, including those with errors to be copied and sent to an analyzer or RMON probe. The analyzer or RMON p robe will see the data as if it were dir ectly conn ected to the LAN se gment of the source port.

The VLAN redirect func ti on i s similar to the port red ir ect f unction except that t he fr ames received by the device are redirected to a designated destination port according to the VLAN classification of the frames received. The VLAN redirect function does not support redirecting errors, and is only supported whe n the de vi ce is o perating as an 8 02.1Q switch . Multiple VLANs can be directed to the same ports.

1.1.9 Rate Limiting

The Rate Limiting feature enables the SmartSwitch device to have con trol of traffic rates on a per-port, per - prior ity basis. The netw ork admi nistr ator can co nf igur e a ra te li mit ( from 100 kbps t o 1 Gbps) for a given port with an associated list of IEEE 802.1p priorities (which can include one, some, or all of the eight priority levels defined in 802.1p). Each rate limit is specified as an inbound or an outbound limit. The combined rate of all traffic on the port that matches the listed priorities cannot exceed the programmed limit. If the rate exceeds the defined limit, frames are dropped until the rate falls below the limit.

Administrators can configure up to four rate limit rules per port; however, each rule must not include conflicting 802.1p priority values. In order to control traffic inbound and outbound on the same port, two rate limit rul es must be configured (one inbound and one outbou nd). Since the rate limiting operation occurs after the processing of the multi-layer classification rules, the two features can be combined to provide application-aware rate limiting.

NOTENOTENOTENOTE

This traffic rate function is not supported on ports configured as SmartTrunk ports.

For more information about the application of the Rate Limiting function, refer to the Local

Management User’s Guide.

Overview

1.1.10 GARP Switch Operation

Some or all ports on the switch may be activated to operate under the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) applications, GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) and/or GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP).

GARP is a protocol, or set of ru les, th at outl ines a mechanis m for propa gati ng the por t sta te and/ or user information throughout a bridged LAN to keep track of users and VLANs on the network fabric. MAC bridges and end users alike can take part in the registration and de-registration of GARP attributes su ch as VLAN an d multic ast gr oup membersh ip. F or more detail s on how GVRP and GMRP handle frames under GARP, and ho w to conf igure t he switch p orts to t ake adv ant age of this operation, refer to the SmartSwitch Series 6H202, 6H203, 6H252, 6H253, 6H258, 6H259, 6H262, 6E233, and 6E253 Local Management User’s Guide.

1.1.11 802.1 Port Priority

IEEE 802.1 port priority is incor porat ed in the IEEE 802.1D stan dard. It is used to assign a def aul t priority to the frames received without priority information in their tag header, to map prioritized frames to the appropriate transmit queues, and to prioritize frames according to protocol type.

1.1.12 Management

Management of the 6E233-49 SmartSwitch module and 6C105 chassis is accomplished using Local Management application or remote SNMP management stations. Local Management is accessible through the RS232 COM port on the front panel using a local VT100 terminal, or a remote VT100 terminal via a modem connection, and in-band via a Telnet connection. In-band remote management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network Management Software.

Local Management, as de scrib ed in th is us er’s guide, provides the abil ity t o ma nage t he 6E23 3-49. Local Management information for non-Ethernet HSIMs or VHSIMs is included in their respective user’s guide. For details on how to get manuals, refer to the Related Manuals section in the About This Guide section.

1.1.13 Switching Options

The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch provides 802.1Q switching or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services between all of the front panel interfaces including any optional HSIMs. In the 802.1Q mode (the default mode of operation), the switch functions as an 802.1D switch until VLANs are configured. SecureFast switching and IEEE 80 2.1Q switching allow migrati on t o Virtual Network technologies without requiring the replacement of existing equipment.
