Chapter 1 Router Overview
1.1 Introduction
Quidway AR 46 Series Routers are next generation high-performance edge routers
that are developed by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as Huawei
Technologies). Compared with the traditional Low-and-Mid-Range Routers of Huawei
Technologies, they allow of higher forwarding performance and a broader service
range. Quidway AR 46 Series Routers offer a more perfect hardware design,
supporting Flexible Interface Cards (FICs), hot swappable Power Supply Unit (PSU),
and 1+1 power backup. Along with NE Series Routers, AR 46 Series can provide a
complete solution for service providers and enterprise networking.
Following are the main features of AR 46 Series Routers.
I. Abundant FIC options
Tens of FICs are available for Quidway AR 46 Series Routers. Therefore, the user is
allowed of great flexibility in card selection and can save the network investment by
selecting the needed FICs in a proper quantity.
II. Provision of Ethernet access solution
The electrical and fiber (multi-mode and single-mode) FE FICs available for the Router
support PPPoE and PPPoEoA that can offer the Authentication, Authorization, and
Accounting (AAA) services for Ethernet access, hence satisfying the requirements of
government offices and enterprises in broadband access.
III. Provision of ATM and DSL solution
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is a simple but highly efficient broadband technology that
achieves great data transmission capacity over the existing copper wiring by using the
digital code modulation technology. The ADSL and G.HSDSL cards available for AR 46
Series Routers allow the medium-to-small-sized enterprises to access the Digital
Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) equipment via Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN) and then the Internet.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) transmits, multiplexes, and switches information
in cells. AR 46 Series Routers provide 25Mbps, 155Mbps, E3, and T3 ATM cards,
supporting ATM Adaption Layer Type 5 (AAL5) and offering the traffic services like
Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR).

Installation Manual
Quidway AR 46 Series Routers Chapter 1 Router Overview
1-2
Hence, such routers are well-suited to the high-speed data service and the
transmission of large packets, hence implementing the interconnection between the
medium-and-small-sized enterprise networks and the ATM networks.
IV. Provision of MPLS solution
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), a combination of IP and ATM technologies,
replaces the IP header with a short and length-fixed label as traffic identifier, based on
which each router makes the forwarding decision. Thus, it provides faster forwarding
speed, gets support from IP routed protocols and control protocols, and hence meet the
requirements that various new applications put on the network. MPLS VPN is a VPN
technology that implements the interconnection of private networks via Label Switched
Paths (LSPs). As LSP is a tunnel across the public network on its own, MPLS has an
intrinsic advantage in terms of VPN implementation. AR 46 Series Routers usually act
as Label Edge Routers (LERs) to connect an MPLS domain with non-MPLS domain or
connect MPLS domains of different service providers, implementing service
classification, label distribution, encapsulation, and multi-label peel-off.
V. Data security and reliability
z Support NAT. Besides some basic functions, the NAT available for AR 46 can limit
concurrent connections to a single user, and thus alleviate the negative impact
caused by malicious resources occupation without compromising the normal
network applications. NAT of AR 46 also provides the ALG (Application Layer
Gateway) function to FTP and ICMP.
z Support the authentication protocols such as PAP, CHAP, data RADIUS, and
VoIP RADIUS.
z Implement packet filter and firewall for preventing the intrusion from an external
networks.
z Support VPN (including GRE, L2TP, and MPLS) and provide IPSec, and IKE,
hence ensuring the security of the private networks in an Internet environment.
z Support the Backup Center and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
technologies, enhancing the robustness and reliability of the network by providing
a backup scheme in case of communication line or device failures. So far, backup
center supports backup load sharing.
z Support hot swap of fans, interface cards, and power module to ensure high
reliability.
VI. Online software upgrading
You are allowed to upgrade the application programs and Boot ROM programs, and
add new features and functions on line as needed.

VII. Abundant fault isolation methods
z You are available with the means to monitor the states of system configurations,
system service channels, and system resources, as well as fault indication via
console and network management host. In addition, logging function is provided
for recording and outputting the abnormal information.
z You are allowed to monitor the FIC running state and make the judgment by
observing the LEDs on FIC panels.
z You are also provided with the functions of in-service system test, out-of-service
system test. In addition, loopback test and hardware key module self-test are
allowed.
VIII. Regulatory compliance
AR 46 Series Routers are designed taking into full consideration the regulations and
standards of China, North America, Europe, Europe, Australia, and Japan in EMC,
safety, network access, and some other aspects.

1.4.2 PWR
I. Functions
The power supply system of Quidway AR 46 Series Routers can work in either
single-power or dual-power mode. In dual-power mode, the two PWRs (either
supplying DC or AC power) function in a redundant way (that is, loading sharing mode).
The input interruption or failure of a PWR will not affect the operation of another PWR,
and this operating PWR will provide all the power required by the system.
Quidway AR 46 Series Routers provide two types of PWRs, i.e., AC PWR and DC
PWR, both providing the output power of 350W. PWR has the functions of overcurrent
protection and overvoltage protection.
You can connect the PWR to the backplane by inserting it from the rear of router
chassis. It is hot swappable and its switchover will not affect the ongoing system
operation.
Note:
If you want to install an AR 46 Series Router in a communication equipment room, you should make sure
that the power distribution cabinet can provide the lightning protection box or arrester against the current of
20KA and above.

1.4.3 FAN
I. Functions
AR 46-20 and AR 46-40 are configured with six fans that are separated into three
groups, and AR 46-80 is configured with eight fans that are separated into four groups.
The two fans in a group are working in a redundant way. When all these fans are
working normally, the operating temperature of the system can be maintained in the
range of 0 to 55oC. As the failure of a fan will not affect the operation of other fans, the
system will still be able to operate in the normal temperature. The rotating speed of the
fans is controlled by the RPU and is in the range of 50% to 100%. The FAN controller
uses two parameters, i.e., low-temperature threshold and high-temperature threshold
to control the rotation speed of the fans, with the former corresponding to 100% rotating
speed and the latter corresponding to 50% rotating speed. The system will send out
rotation stop alarm signals in case any fan fails. The alarm and state LEDs of FAN are
located on the RPU front panel.

Chapter 2 Installation Preparation
2.1 General Site Requirements
AR 46 Series Routers are intended for indoor use. To ensure the proper working of the
routers and prolong their service life, the installation site should meet the requirements
described in the following subsections.
2.1.1 Temperature/Humidity Requirements
To ensure normal operation and prolong the service life of the Router, the equipment
room must maintain adequate temperature and humidity. Long-lasting high moisture is
prone to degrade the performance of the insulating material, which may result in
electric leakage, leading to metal erosion. If the equipment room is very dry, however,
the insulating shim will contract, leading to loosening of the fastening screws. Apart
from that, static electricity will be produced, which damages the Complementary
Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) circuit on the Router. If the equipment is always
very hot, the aging process of insulating materials will be accelerated, which will affect
the reliability of the Router and even the operational lifetime.
The following table lists the requirements of AR 46 Series Routers in temperature and
humidity.
Table 2-1 Temperature/Humidity requirements in the equipment room
Temperature Relative humidity
0oC to 40oC
10% to 90%
Note:
The values of the operating temperature and humidity in a router equipment refers to the values measured
at the position 1.5m above the floor and 0.4m ahead of the router rack, given there are no protective
boards in front or at the back of the router rack.
2.1.2 Cleanliness Requirements
Dust is harmful to the safe operation of the Router. Dust on the chassis may result in
static absorption, thus causing poor contact of the metal connection components or
Page 34
Installation Manual
Quidway AR 46 Series Routers Chapter 2 Installation Preparation
2-2
points. Especially under the condition of low indoor humidity, the dust is easier to be
absorbed, which not only shortens the operational lifetime of the equipment, but also
results in communication failure.
There should not be explosive, conductive, magnetic and corrosive dust in the
equipment room where Quidway AR 46 Series Routers are located, and the dust
concentration should meet the following requirements:
Table 2-2 Limitation on dust content in equipment room
Mechanical active material Unit Content
Dust particle particle/m³
≤3 x 104
(No visible dust on desk in three
days)
Note: Dust particle Diameter ≥ 5µm
Besides the dust specifications, the equipment room of the Router should also meet the
rigorous requirements for the content of salt, acid and sulfide. These harmful gases
could accelerate the metal erosion and the aging process of some parts. The specific
limits of these harmful gases are given in the following table.

2.1.3 ESD Preventive Requirements
Despite careful considerations have been taken in preventing ESD in the design of the
Router, excessive static electricity may bring enormous damage to the card circuits and
even the entire Router.
On the communication network connected to the Router, the static electricity is
primarily introduced from the outside electrical fields, such as the outdoor high-voltage
power cable and lightning, and from the inside system, such as indoor environment,
floor material and the equipment frame. To avoid the damage caused by the static
electricity, you should ensure that:
z The equipment is well connected to earth.
z The equipment room is dust-proof.
z Keep adequate temperature and humidity.
z Wear the ESD-preventive wrist strap and clothes when contacting the circuit
board.
Page 35
Installation Manual
Quidway AR 46 Series Routers Chapter 2 Installation Preparation
2-3
z Place the removed circuit board upward on the ESD-preventive workbench, or into
a static shielded bag.
z Hold the circuit board by the outer edge when observing or moving it, so as to
avoid direct contact with the elements on it.
2.1.4 Electromagnetic Environment Requirements
All interference sources, no matter from the outside of the Router or the application
system, or from the inside, will influence the Router negatively in the conduction
patterns of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation,
and common impedance (including grounding system) coupling. To prevent the
interference, you should:
z Take effective measures against electricity net interference with the power supply
system.
z Do not use the working ground of the Router together with the grounding or
lightning protection grounding device of the power equipment. Separate them as
far as possible.
z Keep the Router far away from strong power wireless launchers, radar launchers
and high frequency and high-current equipment.
z Use electromagnetic shielding if necessary.
2.1.5 Lightning Protection Requirements
Despite careful considerations have been taken in lightning protection in the design of
the Routers and measures have been adopted, excessive-degree of lightning may still
damage the Routers. To achieve the best lightning protection effect, you are
recommended to:
z Keep the grounding wire of the PGND of the chassis in good contact with the earth
ground.
z Keep the grounding terminal of the AC power socket in good contact with the earth
ground.
z Add a lightning arrester for power supply onto the front end of the power input in
order to protect the power supply from lightning strikes in a more effective way.
z Add a special lightning protection facility at the input end of the signal cables in
order to protect the signal cables led to the outdoors, such as ISDN cable,
telephone cable, and E1/T1 cable, from lightning strikes in a more effective way.
2.1.6 Check Workbench
Following are the rules that you should observe when installing the Router:
z Leave enough clearance at the air intake vents and air exhausting vents to ensure
adequate ventilation of the router chassis.
Page 36
Installation Manual
Quidway AR 46 Series Routers Chapter 2 Installation Preparation
2-4
z Make sure that the workbench has a good ventilation system.
z Make sure that the workbench is stable enough and can support the weight of the
Router and the installation accessories.
z Make sure that the workbench has been well-grounded.
2.2 Safety Recommendations
When reading this manual, you should pay adequate attention to the following symbol
and the contents beneath it.
Caution
appears throughout this manual in procedures that, if performed incorrectly, might harm you or damage
the Router.
When installing or working on a Router, you are recommended to:
z Keep the Router far away from the heat sources and water/liquid.
z Make sure that the Router has been correctly grounded.
z Wear ESD-preventive wrist strap in the installation and maintenance, making sure
that the strap have good skin-contact.
z Do not hot swap the main control unit of the Router.
z Connect the cables to the ports appropriate to them. Above all, do not insert the
telephone cable (including the ISDN cable) into a serial port.
z Use laser cautions. Do not directly stare into the radiation aperture of the laser or
the fiber connector connected to it.
z Adopt Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS).

Page 42
Installation Manual
Quidway AR 46 Series Routers Chapter 3 Router Installation
3-4
AR 46 Series Routers provide a separate PGND screw. You must securely connect the
PGND to the ground, ensuring the faradism and leakage power to be channeled into
the earth ground. Thus, the anti-EMI capability of the entire Router can be significantly
improved. The PGND also provides protection against the high voltage of lightning
shocks caused by external network lines like E1/T1 line and ISDN/PSTN line.
The PGND screw is located at top right-rear of the chassis and identified by a
grounding mark, as shown in the following figure:
(1)
1) Grounding screw
Figure 3-3 PGND grounding screw of Router
Connect the ground screw to the earth ground using a PGND cable, requiring a
grounding resistance less than 5-ohm. If you install the Router in a 19-inch standard
rack, you must also ground the rack.
Warning:
You must well ground the operating router (that is, securely connect the PGND in case the unreliable
grounding results in damages on the Router and even the peer equipment in the lightning activity period.

3.8 Connect Router to LAN
I. Introduction to Ethernet interface
AR 46 Series Routers provide the fixed 100BASE-TX FE interface. For details of its
attributes, refer to the section “1.5.1 RPU".
II. Ethernet cable
100BASE-TX Ethernet interface usually adopts the category 5 twisted-pair for
connection, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 3-8 Ethernet cable
Ethernet cables fit into two categories, i.e., straight-through cables and crossover
cables.
z Straight-through cable: The wire sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the
RJ45 connectors at both ends are the same. It is used for connecting a terminal
device (e.g., PC and router) to a HUB or LAN Switch. The cables delivered with
the router are straight-through cables.
z Crossover cable: The wire sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the RJ45
connectors at both ends are different. It is used for connecting two terminal
devices (e.g., PC and router). Users can make it as needed.
Note:
When preparing network cables, please use shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables so long they are available
for the sake of electromagnetic compatibility.

Caution:
1) You must connect a cable to the interface with the appropriate mark. Misplugging is prone to impair the
interface card and even damage the router mainframe.
2) When connecting to a LAN Switch, insert the cable to the 10/100BASE-T port identified by MDIX.
Follow these steps to connect an Ethernet cable, to the 10/100BASE-TX port on the
RPU for example.
Step 1: Use a crossover cable to connect the Router to a PC or another Router by
connecting one end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the Router and the other end to
the PC or the peer router. Use a straight-through cable to connect the Router to a HUB
or LAN Switch by connecting one end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the Router
and the other end to the HUB or the LAN Switch.
Step 2: View the LED of 10/100BASE-TX port. If the link has been connected, the green
LED will light.
3.9 Connect Router to WAN
AR 46 Series Routers provide various WAN interfaces and the one provided by the
RPU is AUX interface, the connection of which will be described in details in the coming
subsections. For the connection of the WAN interface on an FIC, refer to the relevant
contents in “Chapter 8 FIC”.
3.9.1 Connect the AUX Port to Modem
I. Introduction to AUX interface
AUX is an RS232-compliant asynchronous serial interface that can provide backup for
a WAN interface. Usually, it functions to provide dial connection. In case of console
failure, AUX can function as a console interface. For the AUX interface attributes, refer
to the section “1.5.1 RPU”.
II. AUX cable
AUX cable is an 8-core shielded cable. At one end of the cable is an RJ45 connector
that can be plugged into the console port of the Router. At the other end are DB9 (male)
connector and DB25 (male) connector. You can plug either of them into the serial port
of modem as needed. The following figure illustrates the AUX cable.

4.2 Router Configuration Fundamentals
4.2.1 Basic Configuration Procedure
In general, the configuration steps are as follows:
Step 1: Before configuring a Router, the networking requirements have to be made
specific and detail. They include networking purpose, the role of the Router in the
network, the division of subnets, the type of the WAN and transmission medium, the
network security policy and reliability.
Step 2: Based on the above requirements, draw a clear and detail networking diagram.
Step 3: Configure the WAN interface of the Router. Firstly, configure the physical
operating parameters (such as synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, baud rate
and synchronous clock) of the interface according to the transmission medium of the
WAN. For the dial-up interface, you need to configure DCC parameters for it. Secondly,
configure the link layer protocol encapsulated on the interface and the related operating
parameters according to the type of the WAN.
Step 4: Configure the IP addresses or IPX network number of all the interfaces of the
Router according to the division of the subnets.
Step 5: Configure the routes. If it is necessary to enable the dynamic routing protocol,
configure the related operating parameters of the protocol.
Step 6: If there is any special security requirement, perform the security configuration
for the Router.
Step 7: If there is any special reliability requirement, perform the reliability configuration
for the Router.
Refer to VRP3 Operation Manual for detailed introduction of the protocols or function
configuration the Router.

4.2.2 Command Line Interface
I. Characteristics of the command line interface
The command line interfaces provided by Quidway AR 46 Series Routers include a
series of configuration commands, through which a user can configure and manage the
router. The command line interface has the following features:
z Performs the local configuration through CON port.
z Performs the local or remote configuration through the Telnet command, which
can be used to directly log on and manage other Routers.
z Users can enter <?> at any time to get online help.
z Provide prompt and help information for user’s convenience.
z Provide network diagnostic tools, such as Tracet and Ping, to quickly diagnose the
availability of the network.
z Provide all kinds of detailed debugging information to diagnose network faults.
z The command line interpreter adopts fuzzy search for the keywords of the
command. Any conflict-free keyword will be interpreted. For example, for the
display command, you can just enter <dis>.
II. Command line interface
Quidway AR 46 Series Router command line interface provides a rich set of
configuration commands, which are grouped in system view. A group corresponds a
view (see VRP3 Operation Manual for details). You can switch between different views
through commands. Normally, only some specific commands can be executed in a
certain view, although some common commands (such as ping, display
current-configuration, and interface) can be used in every view.
4.2.3 Slot Arrangement and Interface Numbering Rules
Quidway AR 46 Router supports various interfaces, such as CON port, AUX port,
Ethernet port, (synchronous/asynchronous) Serial port, Asynchronous port, and voice
port (FXO/FXS). The interfaces are configured in the order of sequence number.
1) Slot arrangement
Figure 4-6 AR 46-20 Router slot arrangement
Page 58
Installation Manual
Quidway AR 46 Series Routers Chapter 4 Booting and Configuration
4-10
Figure 4-7 AR 46-40 Router slot arrangement
Figure 4-8 AR 46-80 Router slot arrangement
2) Interface numbering rule
AR 46 interfaces are numbered in three dimensions. The rules are as follows:
z The interfaces are numbered in the interface-type X/Y/Z format, in which, interface
specifies the interface type (as serial, asynchronous, ethernet or ATM, etc.), X
specifies the slot number, Y specifies the pinch board number (or is fixed as 0
when there is no pinch board), and Z specifies the interface sequence number.
z As shown in the above figure, different interfaces of an interface module share the
same slot number X.
z For every interface, Y starts from 0 and Z indicates the interface sequence (from
left to right) on the interface module.
z For example, 1FE and 2FE modules are installed in SLOT1 and SLOT2 of AR
46-20 Router respectively. The Ethernet ports are arranged as follows:
z Fixed Ethernet ports are Ethernet 0/0/0 and Ethernet 0/0/1;
z Ethernet port of 1FE module is Ethernet 1/0/0;
z Ethernet ports of 2FE module are Ethernet 2/0/0 and Ethernet 2/0/1.

SDRAM is a component of Router’s mainboard, which can be upgraded and replaced
as needed. In general, it needs to be upgraded in the following situations:
z The SDRAM capacity needs to be increased when the user upgrades the
application program.
z The SDRAM capacity needs to be increased because the route table is too large
to be maintained by the Router or other applications consume large memory.
z The existing SDRAM is damaged.
Caution:
1) Do not touch the component on the surface of the SDRAM with bare hand. You can only take it at the
non-conductive edge. You can only hold it by the non-conductive edge of the SDRAM, because the
SDRAM is prone to the electrostatic damage due to improper operations.
2) It feels hard while removing the SDRAM, but do not overexert during the operation.

8.2 Remove and Install FIC
Caution:
1) The shielding fingers on the front panel of FIC achieve special electromagnetic shielding effect for the
whole Router. Please ensure their integrity when uninstalling or replacing an FIC and never damage them.
2) If you do not want to install a new FIC after removing the old one, install a blank filter panel to keep off
the dust and ensure the adequate ventilation of the Router.
3) Quidway AR 46 Series Routers support on-line removal. Thus, you can remove or install FICs when the
router is running without shutting down the power supply and removing the power cable. But you must first
execute the remove slot command before removing FICs, otherwise, some unknown errors might occur.
However, you do not need to execute the undo remove slot command when you reinstall the removed
FICs.
4) If you unintentionally execute the remove slot command, you can cancel that operation by using the
undo remove slot command.
Before installing the FICs, please read Chapter 2 Installation Preparations carefully.

8.3 Troubleshooting
The FICs available for AR 46 provide the LEDs on their panels so that the users can
determine whether the installation of an FIC is correct by viewing the LED state.
1) Generally, you can locate the problem by performing the following operations if an
FIC is not working normally.
Check the interface cables, making sure that you have used the correct cables.
View the LEDs on the FIC panel, ensuring that the FIC is working normally.
Executing the configured display command, ensuring that the interface has
accepted the configuration and is working normally.
2) If anomalies occur due to the OIR of FIC without executing the remove slot
command, you can perform the following operation.
Restart the router (sometimes the router automatically restarts), and check if the
problem has been solved.
8.4 RT-FIC-1FE/RT-FIC-2FE
8.4.1 Introduction
The FE interface cards, RT-FIC-1FE and RT-FIC-2FE, available for AR 46 are primarily
used for the communications between the Router and LAN(s).
Following are the differences between RT-FIC-1FE and RT-FIC-2FE.
RT-FIC-1FE provides one 10/100Mbps RJ45 Ethernet interface.
RT-FIC-2FE provides two 10/100Mbps RJ45 Ethernet interfaces.
The RT-FIC-FE cards support:
The transmission distance of 100 meters if the category-5 twisted pairs are used.
The operation at the speeds of 100Mbps and 10Mbps, and autosensing.
Full duplex and half-duplex, with the former one in common use.

8.4.4 Interface Cable
I. Ethernet cable
As shown in the following figure, Ethernet cable of RT-FIC-FE cards is a category-5
twisted pair with RJ45 connectors. Pins 1 and 2 of the interface are at the transmitting
terminal, and Pins 3 and 6 are at the receiving terminal.
Page 89
Installation Manual
Quidway AR 46 Series Routers Chapter 8 FIC
8-6
Figure 8-3 Ethernet cable
II. Make Ethernet cable
Ethernet cable uses the category-5 twisted pair composed of eight cores that are
identified and grouped by their insulation layer colors. Usually a unicolor wire and the
white/unicolor wire for it are in pairs. But sometimes, color dots are used to indicate
which wires belong in pairs.
Ethernet cables fit into two categories, i.e., straight-through cables and crossover
cables.
Straight-through cable: The sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the RJ45
connectors at both ends are the same. It is used for connecting a terminal device
(e.g., PC and router) to a HUB or LAN Switch. The cables delivered with the router
are straight-through cables.
Crossover cable: The wire sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the RJ45
connectors at both ends are different. It is used for connecting two terminal
devices (e.g., PC and router).Users can make it as needed.
Note:
1) When preparing network cables, please use shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables so long they are
available for the sake of electromagnetic compatibility.
2) The interface cables in the standard configuration of RT-FIC-FE cards are straight-through cables.
8.4.5 Connect Interface Cable
Step 1: If the Ethernet cable is a straight-through cable, plug one end of the cable into
an Ethernet port on the RT-FIC-FE card, and another end to a HUB or LAN Switch.
Step 2: Power on the Router and check the status of the LINK LED on the RT-FIC-FE
panel. ON means that the link has been connected and OFF means that the link is not
connected. In the latter case, check the line.

Caution:
You must connect a cable to the interface with the appropriate mark. Misplugging is prone to impair the
interface card and even damage the router mainframe.
8.5 RT-FIC-1MFX/RT-FIC-1SFX
8.5.1 Introduction
RT-FIC-1MFX provides one 100Mbps Ethernet multi-mode fiber interface.
RT-FIC-1SFX provides one 100Mbps Ethernet single mode fiber interface.
The high reliability and sound transmission quality intrinsic to optical fibers enable
RT-FIC-1MFX and RT-FIC-1SFX to easily accomplish the communications between
the Router and a LAN. The interface can work in megabit full-duplex mode.
Note:
In terms of transmission mode, optical fibers fall into multi-mode optical fiber and single-mode optical fiber.
1) Single-mode optical fiber has very thin core, and transmits only in single mode on a given wavelength. It
features wide band and large transmission capacity.
2) Multi-mode optical fiber can make the transmission in multiple modes on a given wavelength. In
multi-mode, lights of different modes are transmitted at different speeds, resulting in phase distortion and
hence limiting the transmission band. In terms of fiber core size, there are two types of multi-mode optical
fibers, i.e., 62.5µm and 50µm, which are acceptable transmission media in ISO/IEC 11801 standard.

Note:
Optical fiber connector is defined by ITU recommendations as the passive component used to stably but
not permanently connect two or more optical fibers. Optical fiber connectors are the passive components
indispensable to the optical fiber communications system in the sense that they make it possible to
perform the pluggable connections between optical channels.
There are many types of optical fiber connectors, such as:
1) FC: Round-shape threaded optical fiber connector
2) ST: Round-shape plug-in optical fiber connector
3) SC: Square optical fiber connector
4) MT-RJ: Square transceiving optical fiber connector
Note:
The two types of optical fibers are optional, and you need to select the desired fibers when purchasing
RT-FIC-1MFX and RT-FIC-1SFX, otherwise, they are not provided.
8.5.5 Connect Interface Optical Fiber
Caution:
When connecting optical fiber, please note:
1) Do not bend optical fiber with excessive stress. The bend radius should be no less than 10 cm.
2) Ensure that the Tx terminal and the Rx terminal of the interface are connected correctly.
3) Keep the sectional surface of optical fiber clean and free from dust.

laser radiation harms your eyes.
Step 1: Find the Rx optical port and Tx optical ports on RT-FIC-1MFX/RT-FIC-1SFX.
Insert one end of an optical fiber into the Rx optical port of RT-FIC-1MFX/RT-FIC-1SFX,
and the other end into the Tx optical port of the peer device; insert one end of another
optical fiber into the Tx optical port of RT-FIC-1MFX/RT-FIC-1SFX, and the other end
into the Rx optical port of the peer device.
Step 2: Power on the Router and check the status of the LINK LED on the
RT-FIC-1MFX/RT-FIC-1SFX panel. ON means the Rx link has been connected and
OFF means the Rx link is not connected. In the latter case, check the line.

8.7 RT-FIC-2SAE/ RT-FIC-4SAE/ RT-FIC-8SAE
8.7.1 Introduction
RT-FIC-2SAE/ RT-FIC-4SAE/ RT-FIC-8SAE stands for 2-/4-/8-port enhanced
high-speed sync/async serial interface card. The cards functions mainly to transmit,
receive, and process the data on the synchronous/asynchronous serial interface. They
support both synchronous and asynchronous modes. In the former case, they support
the DTE/DCE mode.
I. Introduction to DTE and DCE
An RT-FIC-SA card is usually connected to an external modem for the dialing purpose.
In this case, an appropriate baud rate must be set.
The synchronous serial interface can work in either DTE or DCE mode. Two devices
directly connected should work as DTE and DCE respectively. The DCE device
provides the synchronization clock and specifies communication rate, and the DTE
device accepts the synchronization clock and communicates at the specified rate.
The Router normally works as a DTE. To know whether the specific equipment
connected with the Router is DTE or DCE, please refer to the manual shipped with the
equipment.
II. Speed and transmission distance of synchronous/asynchronous serial
interface
In different operating modes, the synchronous/asynchronous serial interface supports
different electric signal specifications and baud rates. In addition, the maximum signal
transmission distance not only depends on the specified baud rate but also the
selected cable. The following table shows how the cable type, baud rate, and the
maximum signal transmission distance related to each other.
