The following chapters present more detailed, board level information about the CP930
5-Channel Fast Ethernet Switch whereby the board components and their basic functionality
are discussed in general.
2.1General Information
The CP930 is comprised basically of the following:
• Signal conditioning: either (depends on the variant)
• Galvanic isolation for CAT5 UTP cabling, or
• Full duplex transceiver for fiber optic links
• Fast Ethernet Switch
• 5- channel controller
• Integrated (on chip):
•MAC
•PHY
• 1 Mbit Frame buffer
• MAC address aging time is about 300 seconds
• System interfaces for:
• Up to five Fast Ethernet channels
• Five RJ45, 8-contact, female connectors for CAT5 UTP cabling
(CON3 and CON4 or CON6)
• One MT-RJ type fiber optic transceiver connector for fiber optic linking with
1300 nm (CON5 if populated)
• Power Supply
• CompactPCI connector (CON1if populated)
• 4-pin Molex Connector (CON2 if populated)
• Monitor and Control
• Up to five sets of two operational status LED's for monitoring of link, activity, and operational mode (link speed).
2.1.1Signal Conditioning
Signal conditioning is a function of the type of network being serviced by the individual CP930
channel. Copper cabling networks are provided with galvanic isolation whereas the fiber optic
link is interfaced using an MT-RJ type fiber optic connector with integrated transceiver for full
duplex operation.
2.1.2Fast Ethernet Switch Controller
The Fast Ethernet Switch controller is responsible for providing up to five channels of Fast
Ethernet MAC and PHY layer functionality , and for providing the power supply via either a CompactPCI bus interface or a 4-pin Molex power connector . The switch also provides Auto-negotiation, MDI / MDI-X auto crossover and non-blocking.
The CP930 provides interfacing capability for the following system elements:
• Up to 5 Fast Ethernet interfaces
• Power supply
Ethernet interfacing is achieved either via the CON3(RJ45), CON4(RJ45), CON5(FX), or
CON6(RJ45) connectors depending on the CP930 variant in use and the type of network link:
copper or fiber optic. One of the features of the Fast Ethernet switch controller is that it can automatically detect signal polarity so there is no need for using crossover cabling for direct copper links to a switch.
2.1.4Monitor and Control
For each RJ45 port there are two LED’s available to indicate status. The yellow LED indicates
if the link is active, and if so whether there is activity on the link or not. If on, the link is active,
if blinking there is activity on the link. The green LED indicates link speed: ON is 100 Mbit, OFF
is 10 Mbit.
The fibre optic port has no indicators and is always 100 Mbit speed.
2.2Board-Level Interfacing Diagram
The following figure demonstrates the interfacing structure between the internal processing
modules of the CP930. Where CP930 system elements have common interfacing they are
grouped into a block. Interfacing common to only one element of a block is indicated with a direct connecting line. The interfacing lines are shown in white where they are on board and in
black for board external interfacing.
The “*” (asterisk) in the figure blocks indicate that the actual implementation depends on the
CP930 variant employed.
Legend for Figure 2-1:
• GALV.ISOL. = galvanic isolation for copper links
• MT-RJ TRCV = MT-RJ-type transceiver for fiber optic links
As the Fast Ethernet controller provides automatic detection of the Ethernet standard in use on
copper links the CP930 may be used with any mix of Ethernet networks with 10Base-T or
100Base-TX.
There are five variants of the CP930 available. Three of the variants
have five Ethernet front panel connectors, the difference between
*
the three being that the first is for standard temperatures and the second
is for extended temperatures, and the last is for FDD-Slot mounting.
The fourth variant has only four Ethernet front panel connectors,
but an additional internal Ethernet connector.
The fifth variant is equipped with four standard Ethernet interfaces
on the front panel, plus an Ethernet Fiber Optic interface, which is
routed via a duplex MT-RJ type connector receptacle on the front panel,
for interfac ing to fiber optic links .
The Ethernet wire cabling interface is implemented using up to five 8-contact, female, RJ45
connectors. CON3 is implemented as channel 1-4, and CON4 is implemented as channel 5
when installed, this numbering being the front panel numbering and not the numbering of the
channels from the chip. As the Fast Ethernet controller is able to automatically detect the cabling configuration and Ethernet standard in use, the pinout of the individual connectors is a
function of the implementation.

Their are three variants of channel 5. One variant employs a st andard Ethernet interface (RJ45)
on the front panel, the second variant has a standard Ethernet RJ45 connector onboard, and
the third variant has a duplex MT-RJ-type connector recept acle for interfacing to fiber optic links
on the front panel. This variant is described below.
2.3.2.1Ethernet Fiber Optic Interface
The Ethernet fiber optic interface is realized using an Agilent HFBR-M Fiber Optic Transceiver.
These transceivers support full duplex 100Base-FX operation and are fitted with a duplex MTRJ-type connector receptacle for interfacing to fiber optic links. CON5 is implemen ted as Channel 1 when installed.
The following figure indicates the positioning of the transmit and receive receptacles and orientation of the connectors and keying of the recept acles. The MT-RJ-type receptacle is designed
to support self-locking duplex MT-RJ-type male connectors. This ensures that the fiber optic
links are securely fastened to the receptacles.

Note...
The maximum length of cabling over which the Ethernet transmission can operate effectively depends upon the transceiver in use.
The CompactPCI interface is based on the specification PICMG 2.0 R 3.0, 10/1/99. The following figure and table indicate the pin layout and pinout of the CompactPCI connector, CON1
(J1).
This connector is used for connecting the ATX power supply.

2.4Monitor and Control (M/C)
Monitor and Control functions are divided essentially into Pre-operation and Operation. Pre-operation M/C deals with board configuration and system requirements. Operation M/C covers direct operator interfaces.
2.4.1Pre-Operation M/C
Pre-operation M/C is a direct function of the application and the system requirements. These
requirements dictate the module configuration as we ll as the overall system integration. Overall
system integration and compliance with its requirements is beyond the scope of this manual.
2.4.2 Operation M/C
Operation M/C is a function of the CP930 driver software and the application. Direct interaction
by the operator is limited to the functionality provided by the LED’s assigned to the respective
Ethernet channels. These LED’s can be used to determine the basic operational status of a
channel and if data is being transferred.
