Description
The OM1004 Ethernet switch has three 1000BASE-X optical ports and one 10/100/1000BASE-T electrical port. Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) allows redundant connections between nodes. A dip switch allows plug and play RSTP, while the serial console port allows for an RSTP configuration tailored to specific needs. Optics for multimode, singlemode, and single fiber applications are available. A universal AC power supply is built in, while an auxiliary 5V DC input from an external power cube (not supplied) allows for power source redundancy. The OM1004 is enclosed in a rugged metal case for low radiated and conducted emissions. It does not support jumbo packets.

Note that only one end of a blocked link shows the blocking state; however the remote link indicator will not flash which indicates it is not passing data, and is therefore a backup link.
Green/Yellow when the port is in the transitory learning state. Off when the port is not in RSTP mode.

SPD Speed Green when electrical port is 1000BASE-T.
ALARM The switches on the back of the OM1004 control this indicator. It is
on when the link for a required port is off, or no link is present on any port. When a port is required for proper network operation, the corresponding switch should be up. The front panel Alarm indicator will then come on (red) when a required link fails. This gives a visual indication of link failure. This is especially important in a redundant fiber configuration where the failure would not cause a data transfer failure, and would hence go unnoticed. If the electrical port is connected to a computer which is turned off at the end of the day, switch five which controls that port should be down (off) to avoid unnecessary alarms.

When a connection between Ethernet switches exists, making a second connection directly or indirectly (through a third switch) will disrupt the Ethernet network unless the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is active. The RSTP will disable all redundant paths, and transmit data only over the preferred path; if the preferred path fails, the next port on the priority list will become enabled. When the OM1004 is in RSTP mode, and Hardware (default) mode, and has redundant paths, the data path with the lowest cost (highest throughput) becomes active, and the other path(s) are blocked. When alternate paths have the same cost, the lowest number port (including the RJ45 port) is the preferred path.
Alternately the serial Configuration Port on the OM1004 can be used to set the priority of the ports (SW2 up), however this is best avoided unless the user is familiar with RSTP.
The following figure shows an an example of an acceptable OM1004 spanning tree configuration when in the default plug-and-play mode. Note that each port connects to one other spanning tree port.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
The following figure shows an unacceptable spanning tree configuration when in the default plug-and-play mode. Note that port 2 of switch A connects to switch B and C.
If it is desired to use the above topology, the OM1004 should be set for software configuration, and configuration menu item e Set port admin p2p MAC should be set to NO (the default of AUTO usually becomes YES). This will allow the above topology at the expense of a longer recovery time when the topology changes.

Importance of the Root Node
In RSTP, the root node is fundamental in determining the final topology of a network - i.e. which redundant paths become blocked. RSTP first determines the root node, then the other nodes determine the shortest and fastest path to that root node. Ideally the root node connects directly to equipment (such as a server) which experiences the highest traffic volume. The root node location cannot be controlled when all nodes are in the hardware default settings; however in software configuration mode, the menu item 4 Set bridge priority may be set to a low number (such as 0) which forces that node to be the root node. The other nodes may be left in the hardware default mode.
Configuration Interface
This serial RS232 interface allows the user to configure the RSTP and monitor the Ethernet statistics; its use is optional. The supplied cable must be connected between the serial port of a PC and ths interface. A terminal emulation program must be used on the PC. HyperTerminalTM which comes with the WindowsTM XP operating system is one option.
To start HyperTerminalTM do the following: Click on the START icon Select Programs Select Accessories Select Communication Select HyperTerminal

Bridge RSTP Menu
This menu shows the status and configuration options for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. It is recommended that these parameters only be changed by someone with an understanding of IEEE
802.1D-2004. In most cases the default settings are adequate. The RSTP options are shown below. The hardware /software default settings are shown in brackets to the right of each item.
1 Show bridge status Shows status which applies to all ports on the OM1004.
2 Show port status Shows status which applies to individual ports on the OM1004.
3 Set default configuration Restores the saved RSTP configuration to its default settings. Reboot
required.
4 Set bridge priority [32768] The number must be a multiple of 4096 between 0 and 61440.
A low number makes it more likely to be the RSTP root node.
5 Set bridge hello time [2] The interval in seconds when the root bridge broadcasts a packet with
topology information.
6 Set bridge max age [20] If another bridge in the RSTP does not send out a hello packet in this
time (in seconds), it is assumed to be dead.
7 Set bridge forward delay [1] The time in seconds for the bridge to be in the Learning state before
the Forwarding state is entered. This delay causes a new bridge on a network to look at some traffic before participating.
8 Set bridge protocol version [2] 1 = old Spanning Tree Protocol, 2 = new Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol.
9
Set bridge transmit hold count
[6] The transmit hold count.
a Set port priority [128] This number must be a multiple of 16 between 0 and 240. A low
number makes it more likely to be a forwarding port (as opposed to a blocking port).
6
Page 10
Bridge RSTP Menu
b Set port path cost [0] Zero causes the path cost to be based on the link speed (automatic
mode). This number is 2x1013/data rate in bps. A low number means the port is more likely to be chosen. The maximum number is 200 000 000.
c Set port admin edge [n] No causes the bridge detection state machine to initially assume
operEdge is false. Yes causes it to initially assume operEdge is true.
d Set port auto edge [n] No disables auto edge detection. Yes enables auto edge detection.
e Set port admin p2p MAC [auto] Yes causes the port to be treated as if it is connected to a “point-to
point” LAN. This allows the port to move into the forwarding state faster, but there must be only one Ethernet RSTP bridge directly connected to that port (e.g., the port cannot connect to an Ethernet switch with two or more additional RSTP bridges connected). Auto causes operPointToPointMAC to be set based on the duplex mode of the MAC which is normally full duplex.
f Port mode check Causes the bridge to transmit RSTP BPDUs in order to test the
hypothesis that non RSTP bridges have been removed from the LAN connected to the port, and if that is the case, the remaining bridges will switch back to RSTP mode.
Software Menu
The software menu is shown below:
OM1004 Software Menu 1 Show stored files 2 Upload new BACKUP 3 Swap BACKUP and PRIMARY 4 Reset/Reprogram with new PRIMARY Esc Back :>
This menu allows new software files for the OM1004 to be uploaded with the Xmodem protocol and installed. There are two stored files: PRIMARY and BACKUP. A new upload replaces the previous BACKUP. The PRIMARY file is used for reprogramming the OM1004. BACKUP and PRIMARY can be swapped with the `3' command.

After the OM1004 requests the user to start the Xmodem transfer, the user must select the Xmodem protocol and the upload file (e.g., using HyperTerminal's Transfer/Send File menu option). The OM1004 send C's for thirty seconds. This is an indication to the terminal program to use the Xmodem CRC protocol. After thirty seconds, the OM1004 switches to sending NAK characters every ten seconds for another 100 seconds. This is an indication to the terminal program to use Xmodem checksum mode. Thus, a user has approximately 130 seconds to select the upload file. Usually, it doesn't matter whether the transfer occurs in CRC or checksum mode, however, some terminal programs don't switch automatically from CRC to checksum mode. In that case, it may be necessary to select the upload file in the first thirty seconds, or defer selecting the upload file until the OM1004 has switched to checksum mode.
