Features

Connectivity

The ESX-1320 switch connects to the external Ethernet networks or
workstations through the 12 standard RJ45 connectors on its front panel.
The RJ45 connectors (interface ports) support Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cabling at lengths up to 100
meters. The ports are IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T compliant.

The ESX-1380 switch connects to the external Ethernet networks or
workstations through the 12 Fiber Optic ST connectors on its front panel.
The ports are Fiber Optic Inter-Repeater Link (FOIRL) compliant.

The ESX provides a port located on the front panel that supports one
Cabletron Systems Bridge/Router Interface Module (BRIM). BRIMs are
an optional feature for the ESX that provide flexible, integrated switching
functions to the workgroup and enterprise network hub. Refer to the

Release Notes

Memory

for a list of BRIMs currently supported by the ESX.

The ESX has 4 Megabytes (MB) of Shared Dynamic Random Access
Memory (SDRAM), 4 MB of Local Dynamic Random Access Memory
(LDRAM), and 2 MB of FLASH Electrically Erasable Programmable
Read Only Memory (FLASH EEPROM). A new firmware image can also
be loaded while the system is operating through a Runtime Download.
This option allows the loading of a new firmware image from a network
interface into FLASH memory while the ESX is operating with the “old”
image. In addition, the ESX motherboard provides the option of
upgrading memory capacity by using Single In-line Memory Modules
(SIMMs). Cabletron Systems currently offers an 8 MB upgrade for
LDRAM and SDRAM (Part Number 8MB-SCM-UGK-60). Note that the
SDRAM is used for packet processing; the LDRAM is used for statistical
information and RMON support.

Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSE)

Each switched Ethernet port supports full wire-speed Ethernet
communications and can be configured to operate in FDSE mode. FDSE
allows each port to provide a dedicated 20 Mbps bandwidth for file server
or high-end workstation connections.

ESX-1320/ESX-1380 Installation Guide 1-3

Chapter 1:

Management

Introduction

The ESX can be managed using Local Management (LM) tools or remote
SNMP management stations. Out-of-band Local Management is provided
through RS232 COM ports on the front panel using a standard VT220 or
VT320 terminal or emulator. In-band remote management is possible
through any SNMP compliant Network Management System (NMS).

Traditional Switching

The ESX provides Traditional Switching or future S

ECUREFAST

Switching Virtual Network Services between all of the front panel
interfaces as well as the high-speed uplink BRIM interface. This allows
for future migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the
replacement of existing infrastructure purchases.

IEEE 802.3 Compatibility

The ESX provides IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support
to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop”
conditions. The ESX supports a wide variety of industry standard MIBs
including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1757 (RMON), and RFC 1493
(Bridge MIB). A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs pro vide
a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting.

LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs

The LANVIEW diagnostic and status monitoring LEDs serve as an
important troubleshooting aid by providing an easy way to observe the
status of individual ports and overall network operations. Chapter 4
provides details about the ESX LANVIEW LEDs.

LCD Display

The front panel LCD Display provides information on power-up
diagnostics, hardware and firmware revision levels, IP address, serial
number, and alarms. This allows non-technical personnel to provide
network technicians with basic information critical to the troubleshooting
process through simple push-button operation. Chapter 4 provides details
about the LCD Display.

Setting Mode Switches

Switch definitions are as follows:

• Switch 1 - Cabletron Systems use only.

• Switch 2 - Cabletron Systems use only.

• Switch 3 - Cabletron Systems use only.

• Switch 4 - Cabletron Systems use only.

• Switch 5 - Cabletron Systems use only.

• Switch 6 - Forced Download. Changing the state of this switch (i.e.,

moving the switch from one position to the other) clears download
information from NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory)
and forces a BOOTP/TFTP download.

After changing the switch 6 position and restarting the ESX, the ESX
requests a new image download until it either receives a new image
from the BOOTP server or the RESET button on the front panel is
pressed. When the RESET button is pressed, the ESX continues trying
to contact a BOOTP server, but will timeout in approximately one
minute. If the ESX times out, the image is loaded from its FLASH
memory.

• Switch 7 - Cabletron Systems use only.

• Switch 8 - Password Defaults. Changing the state of this switch clears

user-entered community names stored in NVRAM, and restores the
default settings. Once the ESX is reset, the community names can
either be reentered or the default settings (“public” or <Return>) may
be used.

NOTE

ESX-1320/ESX-1380 Installation Guide 3-7

Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to
reset the ESX community names to their factory default
settings.

Chapter 3: Installation

3.4 NVRAM RESET SWITCH

The ESX uses Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) to store
user-entered parameters such as IP addresses and Community Names.
The NVRAM reset switch (location shown in Figure 3-5), prepares the
ESX electronics to reset NVRAM on either the next power up or the next
operation of the front panel RESET button.

Rear of Chassis

NVRAM Switch located behind grating

Figure 3-5 NVRAM Reset Switch

1574-09

Changing the NVRAM reset switch position has no effect on operation
until the RESET button is pressed or the power to the ESX is cycled. This
will initiate the ESX processor and clear the NVRAM of user-entered
parameters such as IP addresses and community names.

Use only a non-metallic tool to set the NVRAM reset switch.
Otherwise, injury or damage to the ESX may occur.

To change the NVRAM reset switch position, use a non-metallic tool to
reach in through the chassis grillwork and move the switch. There is no
need to remove the chassis cover to set the NVRAM reset switch.

3-8 ESX-1320/ESX-1380 Installation Guide

SIMM Upgrades

3.5 SIMM UPGRADES

The ESX allows memory upgrades for Shared DRAM, Local DRAM, and
FLASH EEPROM. This section explains how to locate and add/replace a
Single In-line Memory Module (SIMM) for any of these memory types.
Cabletron Systems currently offers an 8 MB upgrade for Local and
Shared DRAM (Part Number 8MB-SCM-UGK-60).

3.5.1 Locating SIMMs

Each memory type has a specific SIMM slot location on the ESX
motherboard. When installing SIMM boards, make sure that you place
them in their proper slots. Figure 3-4 shows the location of the ESX
SIMM slots.

3.5.2 Installing SIMMs

The ESX has two SIMM slot types. FLASH SIMMs use an angle-down
slot (where the SIMM rotates down to a horizontal locked position).
SDRAM and LDRAM SIMMs use an angle-up slot (where the SIMM
rotates up to a vertical locked position).

Installing a SIMM in either slot is a simple two-step process. After finding
the proper SIMM slot location (Figure 3-4), refer to the proper illustration
and procedures for each SIMM slot type.

3.9.2 Connecting a 10BASE-F Segment to the ESX-1380

Each fiber optic link consists of two strands of fiber optic cabling: the
transmit (TX) and the receive (RX). The transmit strand from a module
port connects to the receive port of a fiber optic Ethernet device at the
other end of the segment. The receive strand of the applicable port on the
module connects to the transmit port of the fiber optic Ethernet device.

Cabletron Systems recommends labeling fiber optic cables to indicate
receive and transmit ends. Many cables are prelabeled, providing
matching labels or tapes at both ends of each strand of cable.

Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let

transmissions. If necessary, clean contaminated cable ends
using alcohol and a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.

1. Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic ports on the

applicable port on the module, and from the ends of the connectors on
each fiber strand.

ESX-1320/ESX-1380 Installation Guide 3-21

Chapter 3: Installation

2. Attach one fiber to the applicable receive port on the module. Insert
the ST connector into the port with the alignment slot on the connector
inserted over the locking key on the port. Turn the connector
clockwise to lock it down as shown as Figure 3-16.

1098-13

Figure 3-16 ST Connector Insertion

3. Attach the other fiber of the pair to the applicable transmit port on the
module. Use the same procedure for insertion of the ST connector.

4. Attach the other end of the fibers to the appropriate transmit and
receive ports of the other device being connected.

If link indicators are present for the fiber optic connection, check that they
are ON. If an indicator is present but not ON, that port does not have a
valid link. Perform each of the following steps until you reach a resolution
of the problem and achieve a link.

• Check that the device at the other end of the link is ON.

• Verify proper crossover of the fiber strands. Try sw apping the transmit
and receive connections at only one end of the link.

• Verify that the fiber connection meets the dB loss specifications
outlined in Appendix B.

If you are still unable to establish a link, attempt to make the connection
between the devices with another fiber optic cable. If this is unsuccessful,
contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support.

APPENDIX B

ETHERNET CABLING REQUIREMENTS

This chapter contains general networking guidelines. Before attempting
to install the ESX, review the requirements and specifications outlined in
this chapter.

NOTE

Your network installation must meet the conditions, guidelines,
specifications, and requirements included in this chapter to
ensure satisfactory performance of this equipment. Failure to
follow these guidelines may result in poor network
performance.

B.1 NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

Take care in planning and preparing the cabling and connections for your
network. The quality of the connections, the length of cables, and other
conditions of the installation play critical roles in determining the
reliability of your network.

Refer to the sections which follow that apply to your specific network
configuration.

B.2 10BASE-T TWISTED PAIR NETWORK

When connecting a 10BASE-T segment to the ESX-1320, ensure the
network meets the following requirements:

• Length: The IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard requires that

10BASE-T devices transmit over a 100 meter (328 foot) link using
22-24 AWG unshielded twisted pair wire. This is supported by
Cabletron Systems. However, cable quality largely determines
maximum link length. If you use high quality, low attenuation cable,
you can achieve link lengths of up to 200 meters. Cable delay limits
the maximum link length to 200 meters.

NOTE

ESX-1320/ESX-1380 Installation Guide B-1

Losses introduced by connections at punch-down blocks and
other equipment reduce total segment length. For each
connector or patch panel in the link, subtract 12 meters from
the total length of your cable.

Appendix B: Ethernet Cabling Requirements

• Insertion Loss: Between frequencies of 5.0 and 10.0 MHz, the

maximum insertion loss must not exceed 11.5 dB. This includes the
attenuation of the cables, connectors, patch panels, and reflection
losses due to impedance mismatches in the link segment.

• Impedance: Cabletron Systems 10BASE-T products work on twisted

pair cable with 75 to 165 ohms impedance. Unshielded twisted pair
cables typically have an impedance of between 85 and 110 ohms. You
can also use Shielded Twisted Pair cables, such as IBM Type 1 cable,
but keep in mind that this cable has an impedance of 150 ohms. The
high impedance of the IBM Type 1 cable increases signal reflection.
However, due to cable shielding and the subsequent lack of crosstalk
between shielded pairs, signal reflection has little effect on the quality
of the received signal.

• Jitter: Intersymbol interference and reflections can cause jitter in the

bit cell timing, resulting in data errors. 10BASE-T links must not
generate more than 5.0 ns of jitter. Make sure your cable meets
10BASE-T link impedance requirements to rule out jitter as a concern.

• Delay: The maximum propagation delay of a 10BASE-T link se gment

must not exceed 1000 ns. This 1000 ns maximum delay limits the
maximum link segment length to no greater than 200 meters.

• Crosstalk: Signal coupling between different cable pairs within a

multi-pair cable bundle causes crosstalk. 10BASE-T transceiver
design alleviates concerns about crosstalk, provided the cable meets
all other requirements.

• Noise: Crosstalk, or externally induced impulses, can cause noise.

Impulse noise may cause data errors if the impulses occur at very
specific times during data transmission. Generally, noise is not a
concern. If you suspect noise-related data errors, you may need to
reroute the cable or eliminate the source of the impulse noise.

• Temperature: Multi-pair PVC 24 AWG telephone cables typically

have an attenuation of approximately 8–10 dB/100 m at 20°C (68°F).
The attenuation of PVC insulated cable varies significantly with
temperature. At temperatures greater than 40°C (104°F), we strongly
recommend using plenum-rated cable to ensure that attenuation
remains within specification.

B-2 ESX-1320/ESX-1380 Installation Guide

Multimode Fiber Optic Network

B.3 MULTIMODE FIBER OPTIC NETWORK

When connecting a multimode fiber optic link segment to the ESX-1380,
ensure the network meets the following requirements:

• Cable T ype: Use the following multimode fiber optic media:

- 50/125 µm fiber optic cabling

- 62.5/125 µm fiber optic cabling

- 100/140 µm fiber optic cabling

• Attenuation: You must test the fiber optic cable with a fiber optic

attenuation test set adjusted for an 850 nm wavelength. This test
verifies that the signal loss in a cable falls within the following
acceptable levels:

- 13.0 dB or less for a 50/125 µm fiber cable segment

- 16.0 dB or less for a 62.5/125 µm fiber cable segment

- 19.0 dB or less for a 100/140 µm fiber cable segment

• Budget and Propagation Delay: When you determine the maximum

fiber optic cable length to incorporate fiber runs into your network, you
must calculate and consider the fiber optic budget (a total loss of

10.0 dB or less is permissible between stations) and total network
propagation delay.

To determine the fiber optic budget, combine the optical loss due to
the fiber optic cable, in-line splices, and fiber optic connectors.
Typical loss for a splice and connector (together) equals 1 dB or less.

Network propagation delay is the amount of time it takes a packet to
travel from the sending device to the receiving device. Total
propagation delay allowed for the entire network must not exceed

25.6 µs in one direction (51.2 µs round trip). If the total propagation
delay between any two nodes on the network exceeds 25.6 µs, you
must use bridges or switches.

• Length: The maximum possible multimode fiber optic cable length is

2 km (1.24 miles). Howev er, IEEE 802.3 FOIRL specifications specify
a maximum of 1 km (0.62 miles).
