Chapter 1:

Introduction

1.2.2 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch, the 7C04 Workgroup
SmartSwitch and the 7C04-R Workgroup
SmartSwitch

The 7F06-02 Module is designed to be installed in the 7C03 MMAC
SmartSwitch, the 7C04 Workgroup SmartSwitch or the 7C04-R
Workgroup SmartSwitch.

The modular design of the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch allows other
modules that support Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, ATM, FDDI, or T ok en Ring
to be used with the 7F06-02 Module. These modules provide the
capability to share data without the use of external bridges or routers.

The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is a unique module that can be installed
in an MMAC Series chassis. The 7C04 Workgroup SmartSwitch and the
7C04-R Workgroup SmartSwitch are stand-alone chassis that provide the
same functions.

1.3 FEATURES

The 7F06-02 Module provides two FDDI ports via front panel FPIMs.
The 7F06-02 Module includes the following features:

1.3.1 FPIMs

The front panel connections are standard Cabletron FPIMs. These
FPIMs allow the use of single mode or multimode fiber cable with
MIC or SC type connectors.

1.3.2 LANVIEW LEDs

The 7F06-02 uses LANVIEW, Cabletron Systems built-in visual
diagnostic and status monitoring system. W ith LANVIEW LEDs, you can
quickly identify, at a glance, the status of the device connected to a port
on the 7F06-02 Module.

7F06-02 FDDI SmartSwitch Interface Module User’s Guide 1-3

Chapter 1:

Introduction

1.3.3 Connectivity

The 7F06-02 Module has one backplane connection and two sets of A/B
front panel FPIM connections. The backplane connection provides po wer
to the 7F06-02 Module and a channel for communication with the 7X00
SmartSwitch Control Module. The two front panel FPIMs provide FDDI
connections, allowing the use of single mode or multimode fiber cable
with MIC or SC type connectors.

3.3 INSTALLING/REMOVING THE 7F06-02 MODULE

The following procedure details the installation and removal procedure
for the 7F06-02 module.

3.3.1 Installing in the 7C03 SmartSwitch

The 7F06-02 Module is installed in the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch
using the following steps and referring to Figure 3-2.

Note:

The left-most slot in the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is reserved for
the 7X00 SmartSwitch Module.

Note:

Before installing the 7F06-02 module, attach the antistatic wrist
strap included with the SmartSwitch or SmartSwitch module by
following the instructions printed on the package.

1. As a precaution, power down the MMAC 8 before beginning the

2. Use a slotted screwdriver to loosen the two screws that secure the

module to the chassis.

3. Locate the two ejector tabs on the module (below the screws on the left

and right end of the module).

4. Simultaneously press left on the left ejector tab and right on the right

ejector tab until the module ejects from the backplane.

5. Grasp both ejector tabs and carefully slide the module out of the

chassis.

TROUBLESHOOTING

4.1 DIAGNOSTIC AND MONITORING SYSTEM

The 7F06-02 Module uses LANVIEW, Cabletron Systems’ b uilt-in visual
diagnostic and status monitoring system.

With LANVIEW LEDs the status of each transmit and recei v e port on the
7F06-02 Module can be determined, at a glance. This section discusses
the function and purpose of the LEDs on the 7F06-02 Module.

Figure 4-1 shows the LANVIEW LEDs of the 7F06-02 Module.
