Overview
The Metrobility Radiance 10/100Mbps Access Optical Network Unit (ONU)
offers the benefits of remote management while eliminating the expenses
associated an additional chassis and management card at the remote site. The
compact Access ONU is a complete standalone device designed for installation
at the customer premise, with no additional equipment. It supports 10Mbps and
100Mbps circuits, as well as auto-negotiation, ensuring compatibility with any
customer equipment. The Access ONU provides real time monitoring of line
quality, remote loopback and other WAN management features that allow a
network administrator in the central office to conduct preemptive trend analysis
and to isolate faults. Because problems are addressed locally without having to
send a technician to the customer site, the results are reduced maintenance costs,
greater efficiency, and faster response to customer requests.
Designed to operate with the ONU, a Radiance Access Line Card installed in the
central office is used to communicate, test and reconfigure the remote Access
ONU, without reducing the available bandwidth to the customer. This is
accomplished through Metrobility’s innovative Radiance technology, which
enables the Access Line Card and ONU to receive and transmit special management packets in an embedded side channel.
The Access Line Card and ONU continually exchange information in a master/
slave relationship through their fiber link. The Access Line Card serves as the
master, and the ONU as the slave. The master must reside in a chassis containing a Metrobility management card. The management card is accessible through
local software control via an SNMP agent such as Metrobility’s NetBeacon™,
via HTTP with WebBeacon™, or via a serial port or telnet connection using the
command line interface. The ONU can be located up to 100km away and be
remotely controlled and accessed from the managed chassis.
Through NetBeacon, a network administrator in a central office can open a
dialog with the Access ONU and reset its hardware switch settings, monitor its
environmental parameters, or view port details and statistics. NetBeacon
provides extensive real-time and historical graphs to display information such as
the packet error rate and packet details. The administrator can also perform tests
on the remote link, without any bandwidth reduction, and isolate problems to
prevent downtime. This end-to-end visibility and testing of the network simplifies network management and increases reliability.
The Access ONU performs various operations set through hardware switches or
remote management instructions. Among these functions are loopback and Far
End Fault (FEF). Loopback enables a port to return its incoming data back to
4 Overview
the sender. FEF enables the Access Line Card in the central office to detect a
break in the Access ONU’s fiber port receiver. The combination of these
operations, along with the unit’s remote management feature, enable easy
deployment of Ethernet services to customers.
The Radiance Access ONU provides the following key features:
• Compatibility with any 10Mbps or 100Mbps copper Ethernet device at the
customer premise.
• Remote management through Metrobility’s innovative Radiance technology
which enables communication between the central office and customer site.
• Complete Remote Monitoring (RMON) Group 1 Ethernet Statistics support.
• Remote link testing that does not affect the customer’s available bandwidth.
• Individual port enable/disable.
• Far End Fault to notify the central office of a link loss on the Access ONU’s
fiber port receiver.
• Auto-negotiation on the copper port.
• Half and full duplex support on the copper port.
• 10Mbps or 100Mbps support on the copper port.
• Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) and Link Loss Return (LLR) functionality
to aid in troubleshooting.
• Integral singlemode fiber optic power monitors to measure the receive and
transmit levels of the optical transceivers. (Models RA21-14, -16, -17 and -1J)
• Full signal restoration that allows for maximum segment length.
• Push-button MDI-II/MDI-X switch on the front panel to eliminate the need
for crossover cables on the copper port.
• Optional wall mounting bracket.
• Full compliance with applicable portions of IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3x.
•Maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of 1535 bytes, which accommodates
Q-over-Q (IEEE 802.1ad) VLAN tagging and MPLS labels.

Radiance 10/100Mbps Access Optical Network Unit 7
Duplex
The DUPLEX switch sets the duplex mode on the copper port when
auto-negotiation is disabled. The copper port operates at full duplex
when DUPLEX is ON. It operates at half duplex when DUPLEX is
OFF.
When auto-negotiation is enabled, the DUPLEX switch setting is
ignored.
Auto-Negotiation
Auto-negotiation is supported only on the copper port. When switch
AUTONEG is ON, the copper port advertises 100Mbps full-duplex
capabilities to its link partner.
When auto-negotiation is disabled, the copper port’s duplex is set
through the DUPLEX switch, and its speed is set by the 100M switch.
Speed
Switch 100M determines the speed setting for the copper port when
auto-negotiation is disabled. The copper port speed is set to 100Mbps
when the 100M switch is ON, and 10Mbps when it is OFF.
The 100M switch setting is ignored when auto-negotiation is ON.
Far End Fault
Far End Fault (FEF) only applies to the fiber optic port. FEF enables a
managed Radiance Access Line Card in a central office to detect a
break in the Access ONU’s fiber port receiver. If FEF is enabled on the
Access ONU and its fiber port stops receiving link signals, an unsolicited alarm will be sent to its Access Line Card partner. No alarms will
be issued if FEF is disabled.
Link Loss Return
Link Loss Return (LLR) is only applicable to the fiber port. When LLR
is enabled, loss of the receive signal at the port disables its own
transmitter from emitting link pulses. When LLR is disabled, the fiber
port continually transmits an idle signal.
Refer to Link Loss Return for additional information.
8 Installation Guide
Link Loss Carry Forward
Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) is provided as an aid in troubleshooting a remote connection. When LLCF is enabled, loss of the receive
signal at the copper port prevents the fiber port from transmitting an
idle signal onto the cable. Conversely, if the fiber port does not detect a
receive signal, the copper port will not transmit an idle signal.
When LLCF is disabled, the unit continually transmits idle signals on
both ports.
Warning: If LLCF is enabled on the Access ONU and there is no link
on the unit’s copper port, you will NOT be able to manage the ONU.
Refer to Link Loss Carry Forward for further details.
Connect to the Network
The Radiance Access Optical Network Unit offers the ease of plug-and-
3
play installation. To connect to the network, simply insert the cables
into the appropriate connectors. Once power is applied to the unit,
correct connectivity can be verified via the link (LK) LEDs.

*
Software Settings
Two operational functions on the Radiance Access Optical Network Unit can be
modified only through remote software commands.* Remote management
communications occur on the fiber optic segment.
Loopback Mode
Loopback is only applicable to the Access ONU’s fiber port. Loopback allows
the fiber port to return its incoming data back to the sender, while continuing to
receive and transmit management packets. The management packets are not
looped back to the sender—only the data packets are returned.
When loopback is enabled on the fiber port, its incoming data is transmitted
through most of the unit’s circuitry, not just the fiber port. This allows most of
the circuit to be tested. RMON statistics are incremented on both ports—even
though the physical interface on the copper port is neither transmitting nor
receiving traffic. During loopback, the LBK LED is lit.
When loopback is enabled, the opposite port is automatically disabled (no link).
Loopback is not supported on the Access ONU’s copper port, because the fiber
port would become disabled, resulting in a loss of control over the unit.
A full power cycle of the Access ONU takes it out of loopback.
Typically, the Access ONU’s fiber port is placed in loopback mode to test the
segment by using any standard packet-generating test equipment.
Port Enable/Disable
Either port on the Access ONU can be enabled or disabled independently. When
a port is disabled, its DIS LED is lit.
* Refer to the
User Guide

Command Line Interface Reference Guide, NetBeacon Element Management Software Installation &
or
WebBeacon Management Software Installation & User Guide
for software management information.
Disabling a port stops the data flow to and from that port. Although data is
neither sent nor received, the disabled port continues to accept, process and
transmit management packets. However, if LLCF is enabled and the opposite
port has no link, management packets will not be transmitted.
Remote Management Statistics
Through SNMP management, NetBeacon or WebBeacon, you can view Remote
Monitoring (RMON) and Ethernet statistics for the Access ONU.
RMON Statistics
Each port on the Access ONU supports the complete RMON Group 1 statistics

Radiance 10/100Mbps Access Optical Network Unit 15
Singlemode Fiber Optic Power Monitors
Through software*, you can read the input and output power levels of the
singlemode fiber optic port on the Access ONU.
Input Power Level
The accuracy of the input power monitor is ±1dBm from -28dBm to -12dBm.
The accuracy is ±2dBm from -31dBm to -29dBm. The monitor is unresponsive
below -31dBm. If there are no cables connected to the fiber port, the software
may display a reading of -40dBm. The Access ONU peaks at -12dBm and
reaches saturation at -7dBm.
The singlemode long haul (RA21-17) and extended long haul (RA21-1J) ports
are operational down to -34dBm, which is too low for the monitor to measure. If
the input power level is between -34dBm and -29dBm, a valid link will be
established, however, the light level displayed by the software will show a
reading of -40dBm. This reading is not a failure indication; it simply means the
level is beyond the range of the power monitor.

Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF)
*
The Access Optical Network Unit incorporates Link Loss Carry Forward as an
aid in troubleshooting a remote connection. When LLCF is enabled, the ports do
not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port.
Warning: If LLCF is enabled on the Access ONU and its copper port loses link,
you will be unable to manage the ONU. Only enable LLCF when notification of
a link loss is more important than remote management functionality.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with a good link
status using a Radiance Access Line Card and an Access ONU for remote
connectivity. Note that LLCF is enabled as indicated in the diagram.

Link Loss Return (LLR)
The fiber optic port of the Access ONU has been designed with Link Loss
Return functionality* for troubleshooting a remote connection.
When LLR is enabled, the fiber port’s transmitter shuts down if its receiver fails
to detect a valid receive link. LLR should only be enabled on one end of the link
and is typically enabled on either the unmanaged or remote device.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with a good link
