Introduction

The FRM220-40G-2Q is a 40G QSFP+ transponder that aggregates

10Gbps services up to 40Gbps and extends transmission distance. To meet

the growing needs for more bandwidth for data centers and enterprises,

FRM220-40G-2Q can also transport various wavelengths in the optical

network and can receive, amplify and re-transmit the signal for continuous

transmission. The emergence of high-end servers and Ethernet Switches

with 40G Ethernet interfaces also increases the need for media conversion

(multi-mode to single-mode) and link range extension.

The FRM220-40G-2Q is hot-swappable card with two QSFP+ slots for

40G QSFP+ transceivers. All slots support plug-and-play. When the

FRM220-40G-2Q card is placed in the Chassis rack with SNMP

management, the network personnel can view the converter card's status,

type, version, fiber link status. The card can be configured to enable or

disable the port, reset the port, provide diagnostic loopback and activate link

fault pass-through function.

Management Features

When FRM220-40G-2Q is placed in a stand-alone chassis with serial

management port, these devices also support a text-based serial terminal

with an easy to use menu system for configuration. When placed in a

managed chassis, the card is configured and monitored through the chassis

NMC (network management controller) via console, Telnet, Web HTTP or

SNMP.

Chassis Installation

Due to higher power requirements and greater heat dissipation, this

transponder card can only be placed in the CH-02M, CH02-NMC, CH04A,

CH08 or the full CH-20 chassis. When used in CH20, a maximum of 10

cards can be installed.

QSFP+ Units

The FRM220-40G-2Q accepts any QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-Factor

Pluggable) optical modules that comply with MSA (Multi-Source Agreement)

standard. Follow all ESD precautions when handling the card and pluggable

modules. Fiber optic components and cables are very sensitive to dirt, dust

and mishandling, especially in high-speed networks. Dirty or mistreated

fiber may cause errors and an unwanted degradation of signal quality.

Remove the dust caps on QSFP+ slots only when ready to plug in optical

cables.

When selecting QSFP+ optical modules, make sure the modules are able

to support the required data rates. Currently, this device only supports

10GE or 10.3125Gbps data rate.

Console Management

When placed in the managed chassis such as 2-slot CH02M chassis, this

card can be locally managed by connecting a simple serial terminal such as

a notebook computer that has an RS232 port or via a commonly available

USB to RS232 adapter. In Windows XP, HyperTerminal™ is an application

available for emulating a serial terminal. You can also search for TeraTerm

or PuTTY which are free alternatives, especially if the operating system is

Vista or Win7.

Settings

Baud Rate: 38,400 / Data bits: 8 / Parity bits: none / Stop bits: 1

Handshaking: none / Emulation: VT-100

Default Username: admin / Default Password: admin

Connect the serial cable to the CH02M's DB9. Run the terminal emulation

program. With power on, press [ESC] or [Enter] to display the "Main Menu"

screen. The following is an example.

The upper side of the console screen displays QSFP+ transceiver status

and the current state of each QSFP+ including DDM, TX Fault status, LOS,

CDR Lock. The bottom side of the console screen provides options to set

up the device such as LFP, loopback test. See below for detailed

explanations of provided options:

Operation

Select any of the menu items by keying in the menu item number or letter.

Use the [ESC] to return to a previous menu. Any setting is immediately

applied to the transponder's circuitry. After all of the parameter settings

have been selected, press "s" from the main menu to save the parameters

in non-volatile RAM (NVR). To revert to previous settings before saving,

press "r" to reset (reload previously saved parameters).

Explanation of Settings:

<1> Port Active: This will enable or disable the card. When inactive, no

transmissions will be able to occur.

2> Data Rate: This is the data rate of QSFP+ module. Currently, it is fixed

at 10GE or 10.3125Gbps.

<3> Fiber Configuration: This will enable users to enable or disable Link

Fault Pass-Through function and read the serial data stored in QSFP+

modules when QSFP+ transceivers are inserted.

<4> Loopback Test Function: Select QSFP+ loopback function.

<R> Device Reset: This will cause the parameters settings in NVR to be

reloaded.

<D> Set to Default: Restore all saved settings to factory default settings.

<S> Store Parameters: Saves the setting parameters into non-volatile

RAM (NVR)

Update with X-Modem: Update firmware via X-Modem.

Password Setup: Enter this menu to change the login password. The

old password must be keyed in followed by the new password twice. If the

password is ever forgotten, please contact customer support for details on

resetting the password.

Fiber Configuration

<1> Link Fault Pass-Through: Use this menu item to enable or disable the

"QSFP" LFP function.

Link Fault Pass-through or LFP is a method of forwarding a link loss from

one media to the other over the transponder. LFP function of FRM220-40G-

2Q supports 4 links (λ) of QSFP1+ and QSFP2+ fiber link fault application

for troubleshooting purposes.

For example:

As shown in the figure above, when "QSFP1+ Link 1" LFP is enabled

(QSFP1+1 LFP Enabled) and a fault occurs on the QSFP1+ fiber link 1, the

transponder would pass that fault to the QSFP2+ link 1 port. This would

force the link down on the QSFP2+ link 1. A check of the FRM220-40G-2Q

transponder would reveal the fiber link loss and corrective action could be

performed.

<2> DD Information: Modern optical SFP transceivers support digital

diagnostics monitoring (DDM) functions according to the industry-standard

SFF-8472. This feature is also known as digital optical monitoring (DOM)

and gives the end user the ability to monitor real-time parameters of the

SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, etc.

Loopback Testing (LBT) Function

The loopback capability of FRM220-40G-2Q is useful for debugging a

dysfunctional link, or when commissioning a site. In loopback mode, the

signal is routed into the Cross Switch circuitry and then routed back to the

signal source. Loopback may be enabled via management terminal console.

FRM220-40G-2Q can enable loopback (LB) for both QSFP+ fibers. When

"Loopback QSFP1+ and QSFP2+" option is enabled, all data received on

the local receiver connection (RX) will be loop-backed to the transmitter (TX)

connection.

On the other hand, when enabling "Loopback QSFP1+" or "Loopback

QSFP2+", all data received on the local QSFP1+ or QSFP2+ receiver

connection (RX) will be loop-backed to the transmitter (TX) connection and

at the same time will also send loopback signals to QSFP+.

Firmware Upgrading via NMC Card

The FRM220-40G-2Q card may be firmware upgraded when it is placed

in the FRM220 with NMC management card. The user may use a local

console connection to the NMC, a remote Telnet (IP) connection, or a Web

based (HTTP) connection with any available browser. The NMC

communicates to all cards through a serial TTL control bus. The upgrade

code is transferred to the NMC by way of TFTP server.

Quick Procedure

Place the line card's upgrade code on the TFTP server. Make sure you

know the case sensitive file name. Connect to the FRM220-NMC by local

console or by remote Telnet connection. From the main menu choose:

<L> SNMP System Configuration Setup

Then:

Upgrade Line Card Menu

Select the line card type (FRM220-40G-2Q) and local unit. Enter filename.

The upgrade should complete in only a couple of minutes. DO NOT

disconnect or pullout/insert any other cards during the upgrade process.
