6 Configuration
The preferred way to configure ETH1000-SW-COM is by using Multicon GYDA. It is possible to
configure using only DIP switches as well, but this will limit the flexibility.
6.1 DIP switches
The DIP switches are located on the upper left corner of the board, see Figure 6.1. Table 6.1 shows
an overview of them.

Note: Switch 3 to 7 are only used when switch 1 is ON. Switch 2 and 8

Configuration 13
6.2 Multicon GYDA override
Switch 1 is used to control if Multicon GYDA is used for configuration or if it is done using DIP
switches only. When activated (ON) switch 3 to 7 will be used. These switches will be ignored
when configured with GYDA.
It is possible to have up to eight cards on the same LAN in this mode. Each card will get a fixed
IP address, see Table 6.2. Two and two cards will be paired making a “link” between the ports on
the back, P1 to P1, P2 to P2 and so on. Card 1 and card 2 will be paired, card 3 and card 4 will be
paired, and so on.
The serial ports will be configured as RS422, 115200 baud rate, 8 bits of data, no parity bit and one
stop bit.

6.4 Group of cards
For ETH1000-SW-COM to create IP connections it must know the IP address of the other cards.
A list of up to eight cards can be configured, including its own local IP address. These cards will
form a group of cards. It is recommended that this group has the same order on all cards. This
will make it easier when using the different matrices.

Figure 6.2 In-band management example
As illustrated in Figure 6.2, ETH1000-SW-COM can be used for in-band management overTCP/IP.
In the example we have one location with two frames containing multiple ETH1000-SW-COM and
one Multicon GYDA, and two other locations with ETH1000-SW-COM, but no Multicon GYDA.
The internal control bus in the frame can only have one master. In location 1 Multicon GYDA must
be the master, and all ETH1000-SW-COM cards must be configured as slaves using DIP switch 8.
The frames in location 2 and 3 doesn’t have a Multicon GYDA and will instead be controlled by
Multicon GYDA in location 1. For this to happen, one ETH1000-SW-COM on each location must
be configured as master using DIP switch 8. In addition one of the ETH1000-SW-COM cards in
location 1 must be configured to connect to location 2 and 3. This is done on the Multicon GYDA
web interface.
Warning: ETH1000-SW-COM doesn’t do any address translation. All
sub-racks must be configured with a unique frame address!
In-band management is sending data using TCP/IP. For this to work each ETH1000-SW-COM card
must be configured with proper IP settings. For cards on the same location as Multicon GYDA, IP
configuration is easily done using Multicon GYDA web interface.
ETH1000-SW-COM Manual Rev. B

Configuration 15
6.5.1 Setting local IP configuration on remote card.
When setting local IP configuration for cards on remote locations, we have different possibilities.
These are described in the sub-chapters below.
6.5.1.1 Temporary move card to local frame.
Set the card in the same frame as Multicon GYDA and update local IP configuration. Then move
it to the remote location.
6.5.1.2 Have card in remote frame.
Set the card in remote location and do the following steps:
1. Set IP address of ETH1000-SW-COM in local frame so it can reach the remote card.
2. Add current IP address of remote card to “card group” on local card.
3. Configure in-band management on local card to connect to remote card.
4. Wait until Multicon GYDA has detected the remote card.
5. Update local IP configuration on the remote card. This will break in-band management
and the frame will then be lost in Multicon GYDA.
6. Reset IP address of local card back original settings.
7. Update “card group” with the new IP address of the remote card.
Remote frame will now be detected again.
6.5.2 Multicon GYDA hot-swap procedure
Multicon GYDA will remember the settings on all cards it is controlling. If a card fails, it can be
replaced and Multicon GYDA will automatically configure it with the same settings as the old card
had.
When replacing ETH1000-SW-COM in a remote location, and new card has a different IP address
then the old, the local card will not be able to reach it for in-band management. The IP configuration must be fixed manually as described in Section 6.5.1. If you choose to use the method
described in Section 6.5.1.2 please note that step 5 will be done by the hot-swap functionality in
Multicon GYDA. You just have to wait for at least two minutes before continuing on step 6.

Configuration 16
6.6 UART matrix
The data between two UART ports is bi-directional, but when establishing a connection between
two cards, one of them has to listen for connections and the other must connect to it.
Each card has its own UART matrix. To create a link between two cards, the UART on one card
must be connected to the “Listen”-input while the matrix on the other card must be configured to
connect.
Many cards will give many matrices, but if configured smart by making the group of cards in the
same order on all cards, it is possible to create a single virtual routing table to control them all. For
more information on virtual routing tables, see Multicon User Manual and Nevion Configurator.
6.7 Network configurations
If you want communication between ETH1000-SW-COM cards on different LANs, the firewall
needs to be configured. Table 6.3 shows an overview of the IP ports used by ETH1000-SW-COM.
You only needs to open the ports for the services in use.
Table 6.3 IP ports in use

5010 TCP From slave on control bus to master In-band management

5013 TCP Depends on UART matrix UART3
5014 TCP Depends on UART matrix UART4
6.8 Restore to factory default image
If firmware upgrade fails, it is possible to go back to a factory default image. For this, do the
following steps:
1. Pull out the card and activate image recovery DIP.
2. Insert the card.
3. Wait until lower LED (D4, see Figure 7.1) is yellow and the other leds are off.
4. Pull out the card and disable image recovery DIP.
5. Insert the card.

7.2 Firmware upgrade
ETH1000-SW-COM can be upgraded as any other Flashlink card using Multicon GYDA. It will
send the data over the management bus and will take aproximately one hour. During this time, the
card will function as normal. When the upgrade is completed, the card will reboot automatically.
ETH1000-SW-COM contains a web server that also can be used for firmware upgrade. If you have
a PC with a web browser on the same network as ETH1000-SW-COM, this is a good alternative.

The card will work as normal during firmware upgrade and when done, the user must manually
ask the card to reboot. This alternative methode is much faster then upgrading using Multicon
GYDA.
If firmware upgrade failes, it is possible to go back to factory default image. This is described in
Section 6.8.
It is also possible to upgrade firmware by writing a new image on the microSD card. More about
this in Appendix A.

Prepare a microSD card to be used on ETH1000-SW-COM 21
Appendix A Prepare a microSD card to
be used on ETH1000-SW-COM
Firmware upgrade is normally done live without having to pull out the card and take out the
microSD card. In some situation, like when a microSD card fails, creating a new microSD card for
ETH1000-SW-COM is needed.
Most microSD cards are supported. It must be at least 4GB.
After the microSD card is prepared for ETH1000-SW-COM, all configuration settings will be set
to its default values. The new active image on the microSD card will be the new “factory default”
image, see Section 6.8 for more info.
Warning: All data on the microSD card will be deleted!
An image file is needed. It is compressed with zip and will have a .zip extension on the filename.
A.1 Prepare microSD card in Linux
Download the image file and insert the microSD card.
Some Linux distributions have tools to auto-mount detected disks. Make sure the microSD card
is not mounted before continuing.
Run the following command:
unzip -p <filename> | dd bs=64K of=<microsd device file>
A.2 Prepare microSD card in Windows
Many programs exists that are capable of writing a raw disk image to a microSD card. We recommend “Win32 Disk Imager” that can be downloaded from http://win32diskimager.sourceforge
.net.
First step is to unzip the downloaded file. This will give you a new file with .img extension. Use
this file and follow the instructions of your selected program.
