Safety Guidelines

Note Port adapters used with the 7200 VXR routers require the correct base hardware revision in order to function. The following error message will occur on bootup if the incorrect hardware revision is used:

> PA-3-REVNOTSUPPORTED:PA in slot 1 (Ethernet) requires base h/w revision of (1.5)

for this chassis

Use the sh diag command to display the hardware revision. (See the “Using show Commands to

Display Interface Information” section on page 34).

Note The minimum recommended VIP2 model is a VIP2-15.

Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.

Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.

Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist and never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.

Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe. Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Safety Guidelines

Telephone Wiring Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling:

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.

Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.

When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.

When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.

Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors.

Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.

Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms.

Ethernet and Ethernet 10BASE-FL Overview

The term Ethernet is commonly used for all carrier sense multiple access/collision detection (CSMA/CD) local-area networks (LANs) that generally conform to Ethernet specifications, including IEEE 802.3. Ethernet Version 2 and IEEE 802.3 were based on, and developed shortly after, Ethernet Version 1. The slight differences between Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 are implemented in hardware, and both are supported automatically by the 5EFL without any hardware configuration

6 PA-5EFL Ethernet 10BASE-FL Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL Specifications

changes. Together, Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 are the most widely used LAN protocols. They are well suited to applications where a local communication medium must carry sporadic, occasionally heavy traffic at high peak data rates.

The term 10BASE-FL is an abbreviation for 10 Mbps transmission, Baseband medium, F for fiber, and L for link, as defined in the 10BASE-FL specification. The Ethernet specifications call the 5EFL device a transceiver, and it is connected to the station with a transceiver cable. The 5EFL port adapter is not an end station. The IEEE 802.3 specifications refer to the same type of device as a media attachment unit (MAU). Stations on a CSMA/CD LAN can access the network at any time. Before sending data, the station listens to the network to see of it is already in use. If it is, the station waits until the network is not in use, then transmits. A collision occurs when two stations listen for network traffic, hear none, and transmit simultaneously. When this happens, both transmissions are damaged, and the stations must retransmit. The stations detect the collision and use backoff algorithms to determine when they should retransmit.

Both Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 are broadcast networks, which means that all stations see all transmissions. Each station must examine received frames to determine whether it is the intended destination and, if it is, pass the frame to a higher protocol layer for processing. IEEE 802.3 specifies several different physical layers, and Ethernet defines only one. Each IEEE 802.3 physical layer protocol has a name that summarizes its characteristics in the format speed/signaling method/segment length where speed is the LAN speed in Mbps, signaling method is the signaling method used (either Baseband or Broadband), and segment length is the maximum length between stations in hundreds of meters. The maximum distances for Ethernet network segments and connections depend on the type of transmission cable used; for example, fiber-optic cable (10BASE-FL).

What Is the 5EFL Port Adapter?

The 5EFL port adapter provides up to five IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10BASE-FL interfaces. (See Figure 1.) Each Ethernet 10BASE-FL interface allows a maximum bandwidth of 10 Mbps, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 50 Mbps, half-duplex. Each 10BASE-FL interface uses two multimode (ST) receptacles for receive (RX) and transmit (TX). All five ports run at wire speed.

5EFL Port Adapter LEDs

The 5EFL port adapter contains the enabled LED, standard on all port adapters, and one status LED for each port, called the link LED. After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the 5EFL port adapter has been enabled for operation. (The LEDs are shown in Figure 5.)

The following conditions must be met before the enabled LED goes on:

The 5EFL interface is correctly connected and receiving power

The 5EFL-equipped card or chassis contains a valid microcode version that has been downloaded successfully

The bus recognizes the 5EFL port adapter or 5EFL-equipped VIP2

If any of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the enabled LED does not go on. When a 10BASE-FL port is active, its link LED is on when the 5EFL port adapter is receiving a carrier signal from the network.

5EFL Port Adapter Multimode Fiber-Optic Cable and Receptacles

The interface connectors on the 5EFL port adapter are five pairs of (ST) receptacles, designated as RX and TX. You can use all five connection pairs simultaneously or any combination of each pair individually. Each connection pair supports IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet 10BASE-FL interfaces compliant with appropriate standards. Figure 6 shows the ST fiber-optic cable plug used for RX and TX connections.

Note The 5EFL interfaces on a VIP2 are configured for 10 Mbps, half duplex, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 50 Mbps for half-duplex. Cisco Systems does not supply ST-type optical-fiber cables; these cables are available commercially. For ST-type, multimode optical-fiber cable specifications and transmission distance limitations and requirements, refer to the section “IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL Specifications” on page 7.
