Overview

data link redundancy to ensure network integrity with no down time. This link duplication provides the nonstop networking capability essential for high priority traffic and mission-critical applications. The Radiance 10Mbps redun­dant interface line card provides full redundant data paths for Ethernet devices. The card actively monitors the primary link and, if it fails, automatically activates the secondary link without interruption to network operation.
The R712-11 also features a function called Switch On No Activity Received (SONAR ). With SONAR enabled, the line card provides protection against loss of data activity as well as link integrity.
Management control over the Radiance redundant interface line card allows the network administrator to monitor and configure the card via a PC using console commands, our NetBeacon™ or WebBeacon™ management software, or any SNMP application.
The Radiance 10Mbps redundant interface line card contains a MAIN port, a PRIMARY port and a SECONDARY port. Redundancy is provided between the PRIMARY and SECONDARY ports.

User Guide

This section contains information regarding the operating features of your Radiance 10Mbps redundant interface line card.

LED Operation

Several LEDs are visible from the front panel. These include the switchover (SW), power (PWR), secondary (SEC), link (LK) and activity (AT) LEDs. There are separate link and activity LEDs for each of the three ports (MAIN, PRIMARY and SECONDARY). Refer to the table below for a description of each.
The indication of each LED is as follows:
LED Label Color (Status) Indication
SW Amber (steady) SECONDARY port was the active
port at some point. This LED functions in Dynamic Recovery Mode (DRM) only.
PWR Green (steady) Power ON
SEC Green (steady) SECONDARY port is active
OFF PRIMARY port is active
(MAIN) LK Green (steady) Receive link present
(MAIN) A T Green (blinking) Receiving data
(PRIMARY) LK Green (steady) Receive link present
(PRIMARY) AT Green (blinking) Receiving data
(SECONDARY) LK Green (steady) Receive link present
(SECONDARY) AT Green (blinking) Receiving data

Reset Push Button

A small RESET push button is located on the front panel of the Radiance redundant interface line card. When used in conjunction with the card’s SW and SECONDARY LEDs and the AUTO DIP switch setting, this push button allows you to effectively maintain or troubleshoot a PRIMARY link connection.
Because of its small size and recessed placement within the front panel, press the RESET push button with the tip of a pointed object. Pushing and holding the RESET push button has no effect. It is the act of pressing the push button that causes a reset.
In the event of a PRIMARY link failure, pressing the RESET push button has the following effects:
If the AUTO switch is UP The active port automatically reverts to PRI­and RED switch is UP MARY when primary link is reestablished and
pressing the RESET switch clears the SW LED.
If the AUTO switch is The active port does not automatically revert to DOWN and the RED switch PRIMARY when a primary link is reestablished. is UP Pressing the RESET switch clears the SW LED
and the SECONDARY LED and forces the PRIMARY port to be the active port. If the SECONDARY link is disabled, it reverts to the PRIMARY if the PRIMARY has a good link.
If there is only a SECONDARY link, then the SW and SECONDARY LEDs remain lit and pressing the RESET switch has no effect.
If the RED switch is DOWN The card operates in Network Select Mode
(NSM). The RESET push button toggles the active link between the PRIMARY and SECOND­ARY ports. Note that the SW LED remains off during Network Select Mode (NSM) operation.
Radiance 10Mbps Redundant Interface Line Card 17

Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF)

The Radiance 10Mbps redundant interface line card has been designed with Link Loss Carry Forward ability for troubleshooting a remote connection. The card is shipped with LLCF disabled.
When LLCF is enabled, the ports on the card do not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port. For example, if LLCF is enabled and two redundant interface line cards are connected with nothing else connected to them, the Link LED is not lit. When a valid link is established, a complete connec­tion is accomplished.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration using Radiance redundant interface line cards for remote connectivity:

If the connection breaks, or the remote device fails, the card carries that link loss all the way to the switch/hub which generates a trap to the management station. The administrator can then look at the card to determine the source of the loss.

Switch On No Activity Received (SONAR)

The R712-11 is designed to protect a network from failure that would prevent data from reaching its destination. With SONAR enabled, the card monitors the active port for loss of data activity, as well as loss of a valid link. SONAR enables the redundant line card to automatically change its active port to its backup when the following two conditions occur:
No data activity is detected on the active port for two (2) seconds.
Data activity is detected on the backup port.
To switch active ports, the backup port must have data activity within the two­second time-out period when the active port lost activity. If both ports have no activity, the port that receives data activity first becomes the active port.
The active port is switched immediately if it loses its link and the backup port has a link.
To properly activate SONAR, make sure that the following switches are en­abled:
1. RED switch. This sets the redundant interface line card to operate in Dynamic Recovery Mode.
2. LINK switch. This allows link signals to be sent out both ports.
3. SONAR switch.
The settings of the other DIP switches do not affect SONAR operation. How­ever, SONAR will override the Auto Restore Primary Circuit (AUTO) switch. If both SONAR and AUTO are enabled, the active port will not automatically revert to the primary port (after switching to the secondary port) if the primary port has link but no activity. Data activity on the primary port must also be detected during the two-second time-out period before the active port reverts back to the primary port.
NOTE: The R712-11 is shipped with SONAR disabled. In addition to the hardware switch setting, SONAR can be enabled via console commands or through WebBeacon or NetBeacon management software (version 2.0 or later). Refer to the Radiance Command Line Interface Reference Guide,
NetBeacon Element Management Software Installation & User Guide or WebBeacon Software Installation & User Guide for software instructions.
