3.7.2. Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations

The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet communications over distances of up to 100 meters using 4 pairs of CAT-5 (or higher) balanced, unshielded twisted-pair cabling. For wiring guidelines, system designers and integrators should refer to the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standard for minimum cabling performance specifications required for proper Gigabit Ethernet operation. To ensure reliable, error-free data communications, new and pre-existing communication paths should be verified for TIA/EIA-568-A compliance. The table: Cabling Categories and 1000Base-

TX Compliance summarizes the relevant cabling standards as they apply to 100Base-TX

connections.

Table 3.4. Cabling Categories and 1000Base-TX Compliance

1000Base-

TX Compliant

Follow these recommendations for copper data cabling in high electrical noise environments:

• Data cable lengths should be as short as possible, ideally limited to 10' (3m) in length. Copper data cables should not be used for inter-building communications.

• Power and data cables should not be run in parallel for long distances, and should be installed in separate conduits. Power and data cables should intersect at 90° angles when necessary to reduce inductive coupling.

• Optionally, shielded/screened cabling can be used. The cable shield should be grounded at one single point to avoid the generation of ground loops.

3.7.3. Transient Suppression

All copper Ethernet ports on RuggedCom products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against damage from electrical transients and to ensure conformance to IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1. This means that during a transient electrical event, it is possible for communications errors or interruptions to occur, but recovery is automatic.

Required Action

RuggedCom does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, real-time, substation automation applications.

RuggedCom also recommends against the use of copper Ethernet connections to interface to devices in the field across distances which could produce high levels of ground potential rise (that is, greater than 2500V), during line-to-ground fault conditions.

RuggedCom® RuggedBackbone™ 24 RX1512 Installation Guide Rev 105

3.11. SFP Optics – Installation, removal, and precautions

The RX1512 can be ordered with SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) pluggable optics modules. SFP modules can be safely inserted and removed while the chassis is powered and operating. When inserting or removing optics, observe the following precautions:

• Ensure that dust caps are mounted on SFP cages at all times, unless you are in the process of inserting or removing an SFP module. The dust caps prevent the accumulation of residue or particles that might inhibit proper operation.

• Ensure that you have properly discharged any possible electrostatic build-up to prevent electrostatic discharges (ESD). This can be accomplished by proper grounding through an ESD wrist strap, or by touching earth or chassis ground before installing or removing optical modules. ESD can damage or shorten the life of optical modules when they are not plugged into a chassis.

• Ensure that SFP optical modules are always stored in an ESD-safe bag or other suitable ESD-safe environment. Keep SFP modules free from moisture and store them at the proper temperature (-40°C to +85°C).

• Disconnect all cables from the SFP module before inserting or removing the module.

• Use only components certified by RuggedCom Inc. with RuggedCom products. Damage can occur to optics and product if compatibility and reliability have not been properly assessed.

RuggedCom® RuggedBackbone™ 26 RX1512 Installation Guide Rev 105

3. Installation

3.11.1. Module Insertion – SFP

Special attention must be paid to the orientation of SFP modules upon installation in the RX1512 chassis. The figure below shows the proper orientation of SFP modules installed in both upper and lower line modules. SFP modules on the upper row must be inserted top-side up. SFP modules on the lower row must be inserted top-side down. SFP modules should be inserted with the baillatch in the locked position.

Figure 3.18. SFP module orientation

Figure 3.19. SFP module insertion

SFP modules should slide gently into their ports and should lock in place when fully inserted. Dust covers should be in place when installing the modules, and should always be in place when cables are not connected.

3.11.2. SFP Module Removal

To remove the SFP module, disconnect any cables and replace the dust cover to protect the optics. Extend the bail latch found on the top of the module. Grasp the bail latch and gently pull outwards to unlock and remove the module.

Immediately after removal, store the SFP module in an ESD-safe environment.

3.14.3. Secondary Network Interface

In addition to the gigabit Ethernet interface on the faceplate, the APE features a gigabit Ethernet interface connecting to a port on the RX1512 chassis. The interface can be used by the operating system running on the APE as a normal network interface. The port can be configured from ROX™. Typical port parameters, such as speed, duplex, vlans, and more, can be configured. From the perspective of the RX1512, the port is just switch port where a device is connected.

Figure 3.30, “APE Chassis Network Connection” shows how the APE and the RX1512 are

connected. The APE module can have connectivity to devices or networks connected to regular ports on the RX1500.

Figure 3.30. APE Chassis Network Connection

3.14.3.1. Placing the APE in a VLAN

The port connecting the APE to the RX1512 is a normal switch port. The port PVID can be changed through ROX™ as can be done with any other switch port. For example, if the APE is Line Module 2 (LM2), then setting the lm2/1 pvid parameter to 10 places the APE secondary network interface connection on VLAN 10.

3.14.4. Installing an Operating System

We recommend that the operating system be installed and configured by users with experience in installing and administering the chosen operating system.

To install an operating system on the APE, you need the following items:

• DVI-D monitor.

• Keyboard with USB connector.

• Bootable USB flash drive or USB external CD/DVD drive with your operating system installation

package.

When using an external drive that is powered through the USB port, ensure that the total power consumption through both USB ports does not exceed 250 mA at 5V.

To connect additional USB devices, such as a mouse, you can attach a USB hub to the APE. Again, ensure that the total power consumption through both USB ports does not exceed 250 mA at 5V.

Procedure 3.1. To install an operating system:

1. Ensure that the APE module is inserted properly into the line module slot and that the RX1512

is powered up. The APE module power LED should be ON and orange.

2. Connect your monitor to the DVI-D connector, connect your keyboard to a USB port, and

connect your bootable USB device to a USB port. If your operating system installation package requires a network connection, connect a

network cable to the Ethernet port. Connect the other end of the cable to a functioning network port.

3. With a pin or small screwdriver, press and release the APE reset button.

4. After the APE boots, press the F2 key. The BIOS screen appears.

5. Navigate to the Boot menu. Move the USB device to the first boot priority.

Your bootable USB device must be connected to the APE for you to be able to set the device’s boot priority.

6. Navigate to the Exit menu and select Exit Saving Changes. The APE restarts and boots

from the connected USB device.

7. Follow the prompts and instructions from your operating system installation package. Detailed

installation instructions are beyond the scope of this guide. For detailed instructions on installing your operating system, refer to the operating system documentation.

8. After installing the operating system, you may need to change the boot priority back to the

APE’s internal drive. Reboot the APE and press F2 as the module reboots. Navigate to the Boot menu and move the internal drive to the first boot priority. Navigate to the Exit menu and select Exit Saving Changes. The APE restarts and boots from the internal drive.

It is also possible to run a live operating system from the USB device itself. However, this may result in slower overall performance of the operating system.

RuggedCom® RuggedBackbone™ 34 RX1512 Installation Guide Rev 105

3.14.8. FAQs

Q: How do I use a CD or DVD to install an operating system on the APE module? A: Connect an external CD/DVD drive to one of the APE USB ports. If the external drive is

powered through the USB port, ensure that it does not exceed the USB port power limitations (250 mA at 5 V), or use a drive that has an external power supply.

Q: How do I install Windows from a USB flash drive? A: There are many articles on the Internet explaining how to do this. We recommended

selecting a method that uses the least amount of third-party software to create the bootable USB drive.

Q: Can I shutdown or power-up the APE module from ROX™? A: Not currently. In ROX™ version 2.2, the APE is isolated from ROX™ control. ROX™

can identify the type of module present in the RX1512 line module slot, and can monitor temperature information for the APE module.

Q: Can I connect to the operating system running on the APE from one of the ports on the

other slots?

A: Yes. In ROX™, assign lm{APE_slot}/1, where {APE_slot} is the line module slot where

the APE is installed, to the VLAN on which connectivity is expected. The APE should be reachable from any device belonging to the same VLAN.

If you want the APE be routable, log in to the operating system on the APE and set the secondary interface gateway to the IP address of the ROX™ VLAN.

Q: Can I use the APE module as a DHCP server or a DNS server? A: Yes. The APE module supports any x86-compatible operating system and the services

offered by the system.
