1.2 TRFOT-2 OVERVIEW

The TRFOT-2, Token Ring Multimode Fiber Optic Transceiver is a
fiber optic lobe cable converter that allows station devices to be
attached to a Medium Attachment Unit (MAU) or concentrator. This
device converts copper lobes to fiber and/or fiber lobes back to copper.
You can use the TRFOT-2 with Cabletron Systems’ TRFMIM-22/26/28
Multimode Fiber Media Interface Modules or configure the TRFOT-2
for Ring In/Ring Out (RI/RO) applications. An external plug-in power
supply provides power for the TRFOT-2. The TRFOT-2 complies with

802.5J Fiber Optic Token Ring standard (draft 23) over multimode
fiber cable and meets FCC Class A, UL and VDE requirements for
emissions.

LANVIEW LEDs

Cabletron Systems’ LANVIEW Status Monitoring and Diagnostics
System is a convenient troubleshooting tool that helps you diagnose
physical layer problems. The front panel LANVIEW LEDs alert you to
power failures, cable faults, and link problems.

Connectivity

The TRFOT-2 is equipped with multimode ST connectors for fiber
links and a DB9 connector for copper links. The TRFOT-2 supports
cable distances of up to 2 km over multimode fiber optic cable. You can
attach the TRFOT-2 at either end of a fiber link.

Ring Speed Compatibility

The TRFOT-2 supports both 4 and 16 mb/sec ring speeds and senses
the ring speed automatically.

CHAPTER 2

INSTALLATION

REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS

This chapter describes cabling requirements, network guidelines, and
operating specifications for the TRFOT-2. Ensure that you read this
chapter before you install the TRFOT-2. Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in unsatisfactory network performance.

2.1 FIBER OPTIC CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

Multimode fiber optic link segments must meet the following
requirements:

Cable Type

The TRFOT-2 requires the following multimode fiber optic media:

• 50/125 µm fiber optic cabling.

• 62.5/125 µm fiber optic cabling.

• 100/140

Attenuation

The fiber optic cable must be tested with a fiber optic attenuation test
set that is adjusted for an 850 nm wave-length. This test verifies that
the signal loss in a cable is within an acceptable level:

• 13.0 dB or less for 50/125 µm fiber cable segment.

• 16.0 dB or less for 62.5/125 µm fiber cable segment.

• 19.0 dB or less for 100/140 µm fiber cable segment.

Fiber Optic Budget

Fiber optic budget is the combination of the optical loss due to the
fiber optic cable, in-line splices, and fiber optic connectors. When
determining the maximum fiber optic cable length, the fiber optic
budget should be calculated and considered before fiber optic cable
runs are incorporated in any network design.

m fiber optic cabling.

µ

Fiber Length

The maximum allowable fiber optic cable length is 2 km.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS

2.2 COPPER CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

Cabletron includes a DB9 to DB9 Shielded Twisted P air cable with the
TRFOT-2. Use this cable to connect the TRFOT-2 to the token ring
station adapter card or concentrator. To attach the TRFOT-2 to a token
ring device that does not have a DB9 connector, you need an adapter
cable. Cabletron offers adapter cables for RJ45 or MIC style
connectors. Copper cable must meet the following requirements:

Maximum Cable Length

The maximum allowable length for copper cable is 10 feet.

Connector Pinouts

Media Filters

To connect an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) segment from a token
ring concentrator to the TRFOT-2, you need to install a Type 3 media
filter such as the Cabletron Systems TRMF-2. Use the TRMF-2 at the
concentrator end of the connection as shown in Figure 2-1.

CHAPTER 3

INST ALLING THE TRFOT-2

This chapter outlines how to install the TRFOT-2 in your network.
Ensure that your network meets all the requirements listed in
Chapter 2,
installing and operating the TRFOT-2.

3.1 UNPACKING THE TRFOT-2

Unpack the TRFOT-2 as follows:

1. Carefully remove the TRFOT-2 from the shipping box.

Installation Requirements/Specifications

, before

2. Remove the TRFOT-2 from its protective plastic bag.

3. Visually inspect the TRFOT-2. If there are any signs of damage,
contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support immediately.

3.2 SETTING THE CONFIGURATION SWITCHES

Figure 3-1 shows the location of the TRFOT-2’s four configuration
switches. Cabletron sets the switches for Station applications. If you
need to change the switches for other applications, follow steps 1-3.

Figure 3-1. TRFOT-2 Configuration Switches

1. Disconnect the TRFOT-2 from the network and remove the power.

2. Set the switches for the desired application (refer to Table 3-1).

3. Reconnect the TRFOT-2 to the network, then re-apply the power.

Page 3-1

INSTALLING THE TRFOT-2

T able 3-1 provides a quick reference for the switch settings for Station,
Lobe Concentrator/Trunk Coupling Unit (TCU), Ring In (RI), and
Ring Out (RO) applications. A description of each switch is also listed
below.

Switch A

This switch selects Station/RI or Lobe/RO applications for the
TRFOT-2’s copper connector. Select ON to attach the TRFOT-2’s
copper connector to a Station adapter or Ring In port. Select OFF to
connect the copper connector to a Concentrator Lobe port or Ring Out
port.

Switch B

This switch selects RI/RO or Station/Lobe applications for the
TRFOT-2. Select ON for RI/RO applications. Select OFF for
Station/Lobe applications.

Switch C

This switch enables/disables the phantom drive for RI/RO applications
with other Cabletron products. Select ON to disable the phantom
drive. Select OFF to enable the phantom drive.

Switch D

This switch selects modes on the TRFOT-2’s fiber optic connector.
Select ON to attach the TRFOT-2’s fiber optic connector to a Cabletron

port.

3.3 ATTACHING THE TOKEN RING CABLE TO A

CONCENTRATOR

To attach the TRFOT-2 to a token ring concentrator that supports
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP), use the DB9 to DB9 cable supplied with
the unit. If you want to attach the TRFOT-2 to a concentrator that
does not have a DB9 connector, you need an adapter cable. Cabletron
offers cables that adapt to RJ45 and MIC style connectors. The
maximum supported length for the copper cable is 10 feet.

To attach the TRFOT-2 to a token ring concentrator that supports
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable, you need to install a Type 3
media filter such as the Cabletron Systems TRMF-2. Figure 3-2 shows
how to attach a UTP segment to the TRFOT-2 using the TRMF-2.

segments to the TRFOT-2 (i.e. TX on one end to RX on the other end). To
facilitate hookup, label the fiber optic strands 1 and 2.

To connect a fiber optic link segment to a TRFOT-2:

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.

5. Attach the fiber optic cable labeled 2 to the receive port of the
device.

6. Check that the

FO

Link LED is on. If the LED is not on, perform

each of the following steps until it is:

Note

: Perform the following steps only if the device attached to the
TRFOT-2 is a Cabletron device, for example the TRFMIM-22/26/28. If
you attach a non-Cabletron device to the TRFOT-2, the

FO

Link LED

may not light, even though a good link may exist.

a. Check that the power is turned on for the device at the other

end of the link.

b. Verify that the fiber strands are properly “crossed-over”

between the applicable port on the module and the fiber optic
device at the other end of the fiber optic link segment.

Page 3-4

INSTALLING THE TRFOT-2

c. Reset the TRFOT-2 by cycling the power.
d. Verify that the fiber connection meets the dB loss specifications

outlined in Fiber Optic Network Requirements.

Note

: If after proper insertion to the ring, one of the fiber cables is
disconnected, the other fiber cable should also be disconnected before
reconnecting. The TX cable must be reconnected first on the station
TRFOT-2, then the RX cable.

3.5 CONNECTING POWER

The TRFOT-2 is equipped with an external power supply. To connect
the power supply to the TRFOT-2, refer to Figure 3-4 and perform the
following steps:

1. Plug the power supply connector into the

Power Input

port on the

TRFOT-2.

2. Plug the power supply into a standard wall outlet.

3. Check that the
