ii •••• Contents Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceivers Product Manual (V1.0)
The Fiber Ethernet Swit ch Transceivers are confi gured in various modes depending on t h e
number of small f orm-f act or pluggable fiber transceivers (SF Ps) installed and the rear module
used. There are up to six user ports (a combination of fiber optic and RJ45 connectors) plus on e
GigE (SERDES) port connected to the OG3-FR series frame midplane that communicates with
the switch on the MFC-8322-N Network Controller cards.
The switching function operates transparently for DHCP, ARP, Multicast and Broadcast, and
VLAN services (except where restricted by configuration). Note that the Fiber Ethernet Switch
Transceivers do not provide POE (Power Over Ethernet) but will work with switches that follow
802.3eaf/at.
The Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceivers are f u lly hot-swappable with all active components
the
front removable module. No active com ponents are installed on the rear m odule. This design
greatly reduces down tim e elim inating any need for users to access the back of the openGear
frame.
CWDM Series
Some Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceivers are equipped w ith Coarse Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (CWDM) lasers. This enables you to expand your current fiber infrastructure from
one wavelength to up to 16 wavelengths on a fi ber.
High Sensitivity Series
Some Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceivers are equipped with high sensitivity SFPs for increased
link budgets. These cards are compatible with standard 1310nm receivers, and the CWDM
receivers from 1270nm to 1610nm (at tenua tion m ay be required to reduce optical pow er below

The following interfaces are available for your Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceiver.
DashBoard Control
The DashBoard Control System enables you to monitor and control openGear frames and cards
from a computer. DashBoard communicates with the Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceiver and other
cards in the openGear frame through the Network Controller Card.
For More Information on...
•installing and using DashBoard, refer to the DashBoard Product Manual.
•menus available in DashBoard for the Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceiver, ref er to thechapter “DashBoard Menus”.
•using the Network Controller Card, refer to the MFC-8300 Series Product Manual.
Card-edge Controls
The front-edge of the Fiber Ethernet Switch Tran sceiver cards have an LED indicator for power
status. LEDs on the rear modules indicate communication an d traffic activity.
For More Information on...
•the card-edge LED, refer to the section “Card-edge LEDs”.
•the rear module LEDs, refer to the section “Rear Module LEDs”.

The Network Controller Card in the openGear frame provides optional support f or remote
monitoring of your frame and using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), wh ich is
compatible with many third-party monitoring and control tools.
