Overview

The Radiance 10/100Mbps interface line card provides seamless migration

between Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks, in addition to built-in media conversion allowing high-speed integration of fiber optic and twisted-pair segments. A complete set of LEDs allows for quick status verification, and a bank of DIP switches provides added versatility on each port. To optimize your Ethernet network, each port operates independently in either half or full duplex.

The management functionality allows communication between the chassis and a management station. This ability provides remote software control over the Radiance line card configuration and notification of a failure to the management station.

The Radiance 10/100Mbps interface line cards offer the following key features:

• Auto-negotiation switches on all twisted-pair interfaces.

• Link Loss Return (LLR) functionality to aid in troubleshooting a remote network connection on all fiber optic ports.

• Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) functionality to aid in troubleshooting a remote network connection. (R642-xx and R612-51 only)

• An MDI-II to MDI-X switch that eliminates the need for crossover cables on twisted-pair ports.

• Store-and-forward switching to improve overall network performance by buffering packets during times of heavy congestion and to prevent the forwarding of corrupted packets.

• A high-performance switching engine that performs forwarding and filtering at full wire speed (148,800 packets per second).

• The ability to learn up to 8,000 MAC addresses.

• 320 buffers per port with 1,536 bytes each.

• Low last-bit-in to first-bit-out delay.

6 Installation Guide

Installation Guide

Follow the simple steps outlined in this section to install and start using your Radiance 10/100Mbps interface line card.

NOTE: Electrostatic discharge precautions should be taken when handling any line card. Proper grounding is recommended (i.e., wear a wrist strap).

Unpack the Line Card

Your order has been provided with the safest possible packaging, but shipping damage does occasionally occur. Inspect your line card carefully. If you discover any shipping damage, notify your carrier and follow their instructions for damage and claims. Save the original shipping carton if return or storage of the unit is necessary.

Set the Switches

MDI-II to MDI-X Switch (twisted-pair ports only)

To eliminate the need for crossover cables, the Radiance 10/100Mbps interface line card includes an MDI-II to MDI-X switch on each twisted-pair port. This push-in switch is located in the center of the front panel and allows setup in either straight-through or crossover configurations. The default setting is parallel (II).

When setting the switch, observe the positioning of the following symbols:

• The parallel symbol (II) indicates a straight-through or parallel

connection. The switch is up. (default)

• The cross symbol (X) indicates a crossover connection. The

switch is down.

Use the tables below as a guide.

DIP Switches

A set of six DIP switches, located on the back of the line card, allows you to select from several modes of operation. These switches are clearly marked on the printed circuit board.

*DIP switches also can be managed via console commands or with Metrobility’s NetBeacon® or WebBeacon management software. Refer to the

Command Line Interface Reference Guide, NetBeacon Element Management

When setting DIP switches,* the UP position is when the lever of the DIP switch is pushed away from the circuit board. The DOWN position is when the lever is pushed toward the circuit board.

NOTE: Not all switches are available on every model. Unmarked switches are reserved and should be left in the DOWN position. See the table below for switch locations on the four board types.

8 Installation Guide

Auto-Negotiation Switch (AN)

Switches AN1 and AN2 control the use of auto-negotiation on their respective copper ports. To enable auto-negotiation, push the lever UP. To disable this function, push the lever DOWN. The default setting is auto-negotiation enabled.

When a port has auto-negotiation enabled, it advertises 10/100Mbps and full/half duplex capabilities when both its speed (100M) and duplex (FD) switches are also enabled. These are the default settings on a copper port. If the 100M switch is disabled, the port advertises only 10Mbps capability. If the FD switch is disabled, the port advertises only half duplex.

When auto-negotiation is disabled, the port’s duplex is determined by its FD switch setting and its speed is set by its 100M switch.

10/100Mbps Switch (100M)

Switches 100M1 and 100M2 control the speed setting for their respective copper ports. The speed setting determines which speed is advertised when auto-negotiation is enabled. If auto-negotiation is disabled, the port speed is the same as the switch setting, where UP is 100Mbps and DOWN is 10Mbps.

When the 100M switch is UP, the port advertises 10/100Mbps capability if auto-negotiation is enabled. This is the default setting. If autonegotiation is disabled, the port’s speed is set to 100Mbps.

When the 100M switch is DOWN, the port advertises only 10Mbps capability if auto-negotiation is enabled. If auto-negotiation is disabled, the port’s speed is set to 10Mbps.

Half/Full Duplex Switch (FD)

For copper ports with auto-negotiation disabled and all fiber optic ports, switches FD1 and FD2 determine the duplex mode of their respective ports. A port operates at full duplex when its FD switch is UP. It operates at half duplex when its FD switch is DOWN. The default is full duplex enabled (UP).

With auto-negotiation enabled on a copper port, the port advertises full/ half duplex capability when its FD switch is UP. The port advertises only half duplex when its FD switch is DOWN.

Changes to the AN, 100M and FD switch settings only come into effect after the power-cycle

initialization.
