FCC Notice

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment uses, generates, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed in accordance with the operator’s manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

WARNING: Changes or modiﬁcations made to this device which are not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

DOC Notice

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la class A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

Safety Information

CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS

The 9F315-02 is a Class 1 Laser Product

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

The 9F315-02 uses Class 1 Laser transceivers. Read the following safety

information before installing or operating these adapters.

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.

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 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

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.

Introduction

The 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 are three port switch modules with two front panel FDDI interfaces and one INB-1 backplane interface. The external FDDI networks are connected to the modules using standard FDDI A/B ports on the front panel. The 9F310-02 uses multi mode ﬁber, and the 9F315-02 uses single mode ﬁber optic cables for this connection. The 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 modules employs the Fast Packet Switch (FPS), a high performance switch design, and the Intel i960 microprocessor. The modules can redirect one or both of its front panel FDDI Interfaces to the FNB backplane, creating an INB-1 to FNB bridge/switch product that allows a migration from FNB modules to INB-1 modules.

Features

Processor

The 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 are equipped with an advanced Intel i960 microprocessor. This microprocessor provides a platform for all management functions within a scalable RISC-based architecture.

Packet Switch Engine

The 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 module incorporates the Fast Packet Switch (FPS), a collection of custom ASlCs designed speciﬁcally for high speed switching. The FPS bus is 64 bits wide with a bandwidth of 320 Mbps. Since all frame translation, address lookups, and forwarding decisions are performed in hardware, the 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 can obtain a throughput performance of greater than 150K pps.

Management

The 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 modules have two full implementations of SMT (Version 7.3), one per interface, and SNMP for local and remote management. Local management is provided through the RS-232 Com ports on the MMAC-Plus Environmental Module using a standard VT-220 terminal or emulator. Remote management is possible through Cabletron’s SPECTRUM or any SNMP compliant management tool as well as telneting to the module. Management features including module insert/bypass control, MAC placement, front panel/FNB conﬁguration, and SMT statistics. Bridging statistics on both FDDI
