PREFACE

Welcome to the DIGITAL DLE49-MA Inter face Module User’s Guide. This guide describes the DLE49- MA interface module and provides information concerning network requirements, installation, troubleshooting, and the use of Local Management.

Depending on the firmware version used in the device, some features described in this guide may not be supported. Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the DLE49-MA to determine which features are supported.

USING THIS GUIDE

Read through this guide complete ly to understand the DLE49-MA module features, capabi lities, and Local Management functions.

A general working knowledge of IEEE 802.3 type data communications networks and their physi cal layer components is help ful when using these devices.

In this document, the DLE49-MA interface module is referred to as either the “DLE49-MA” or the “module”.

STRUCTURE OF THIS GUIDE

This guide is organi zed as follows:

Chapter 1, Introduction, describes the features of the DLE49-MA. Chapter 2 , Network Requirements, outlines the network requirements

that must be met before installing the DLE49-MA into the MultiSwitch 700 DLM6C-AA chassis.

Chapter 3 , Installation, provides instructions on how to install the

module in the chassis and connect segments to the device.

Chapter 4, Troubleshooting, de ta ils the DLE49-MA diagnostic LEDs

that enable quick diagnosis of network/operational problems.

DLE49-MA User ’s Guide xvii

Preface

Chapter 5, Local Management: Overview, Setup, and Chassis Management, describes how to access Local Management and use the

Local Management screens to manage the DLE49-MA and DLM6C-AA chassis.

Chapter 6 , Local Management: Module Navigation, describes how to

navigate and manage the DLE49-MA in the module selections of the Local Management screens.

Chapter 7 , Network Tools, descr ibes the use of the Network T ools

function for managing the DLE49- MA.

Appendix A, Specifications, contains information on functionality and

operating specifications, connector pinouts, environmental requirements, and physical properties.

Appendix B, Optional Installations and Mode Switch Bank Settings,

describes how to set the Mode Switches, and gives inf ormation on upgrading the DLE49-MA.
