Introduction
The FRM220 Family are slide-in-line cards for placement in the FRM220 Platform
Media Converter Chassis and available in a number of different models that also act
as a stand-alone converters when placed in a one-slot chassis. The 10/100i(S)-2E is a
two UTP plus Fiber media converter/switch for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX data
transmission over 100Base-FX optical fiber media. Depending on your specific network
needs, these converters are available with either multi-mode or single-mode fixed
optical transceivers with connectors for SC, ST or FC. In single mode, WDM (Wave
Division Multiplexing with SC connector) is also available in 20, 40, 60, or 80Km reach,
which will provide the ability to transmit and receive data using only a single optical
fiber. The 10/100iS-2E model sports an SFP cage to accept industry standard SFP
optical modules.
When the 10/100i(S)-2E card is placed in the FRM220 rack with NMC, the in-band
management, can monitor, configure and control the activity of each port for both local
and remote sides. For the UTP side, auto-negotiation is default. You may set data rate
to 10Mbps or 100Mbps and duplex mode to full or half duplex through forced mode
setting on either UTP port. Added features such as stand-alone console management
(when installed in CH01M chassis) all advanced features such as ingress/egress
bandwidth control, 802.3X flow control and 802.1Q VLAN. Six LED indicators signal
the power status of the converter, UTP port speed, duplex status and Link/Act and FX
port Link/Act and FEF (Far End Fault).

ManagementFeatures
The 10/100i(S)-2E is designed to be placed either in a stand-alone chassis with
serial console management port or in the FRM220 managed chassis. As a remote unit,
it may be placed in any single-slot chassis. When placed in a stand-alone chassis with
DB9 console port, these devices support a text based serial terminal with an easy to
use menu system for configuration. When placed in a managed rack, the card is
configured and monitored through the chassis NMC (network management controller)
via console, Telnet, Web HTTP or SNMP.
LinkFaultPassThrough(LFP)ApplicationNote
This media converter/switch has three ports, two TX and one FX. The LFP function
requires that in-band remote management be enabled. Next, it behaves differently,
depending on if VLAN is enabled or not. Therefore, LFP settings for this converter are
found under the VLAN sub-menu. When VLAN is enabled, a link loss on TX1 port (1)
will propagate to the remote TX1 port (2). Like wise, a link loss on TX2 will propagate
to the remote TX2 port. The fiber link will not be affected. If FX link is broken, all local
and remote TX ports will link down. If VLAN is disabled, any combination of loss of TX
port link will have no effect. In either VLAN enabled or disabled case, a FX link loss (3)
will forward to all TP ports (4), local and remote when LFP is enabled.

Installation
Connect Ethernet cables to the 10/100i-2E TP ports. Connect fiber cables to the FX
port. If the connected device also supports 802.3u auto-negotiation, the TP ports will
connect and LED indicators will show the speed connected. Follow the connection
examples below. Install the fiber converter/switch with the DC power adapter provided
(12VDC@1A) and then connect the adapter to an AC power outlet.
Connections
The following example illustrates the connection scheme when connecting from a
10/100BASE-TX port of one switch to a 100BASE-FX port of another switch through
the fiber converter.
The following VLAN example shows how a pair of the 10/100i(S)-2E can use their
tagged VLAN to create isolated Ethernet paths between the Sales group and their
server and between the R&D group and their server.
In this last example, because the 10/100i(S)-2E supports 802.1Q tagging, it can be
linked with other vendor's L2 managed switch to provide VLAN over fiber.

ConsoleTerminalOperation
To use this mode, the converter must be stand-alone and it must be inserted into a
stand-alone chassis with DB9 console port (such as CH01M).
Connect a Serial console Terminal with: 38.4K, 8bit, no parity, 1 stop, no handshaking
TP Setting Example
VLAN Setting Example
The VLAN settings can be used to separate traffic between each individual TP port.
The tagging can be done in point-to-point converters or when connected to a L2 switch
that supports 802.1Q VLAN tagging.

MenuFunctionalDescriptions
<1> Port Active : When disabled, all transmissions through this card (except for OAM
management traffic) will be blocked
<2> UTP1 Configurations : The settings for auto negotiation or forced mode speed
and duplex, plus ingress/egress rate control are found under this sub-menu.
<3> UTP2 Configurations : Same setting here but for second TP port.
<4> VLAN Configurations : This sub-menu provides the VLAN settings, enable or
disable, plus the VID assigned to the TP port.
<5> Auto Laser Shutdown : This item toggles the ALS feature on or off.
<6> Remote Management : When disabled, no OAM traffic will be sent to the remote
unit. Use it to disable in-band management or to run the link at full 100%. When
remote management is enabled, some OAM packets use bandwidth for the in-band
management. They are very small percent but have highest priority.
<7> Remote Present : This item is an indicator only. If the fiber connects to a remote,
and it is detected by the local unit, it will report "YES" here.
<8> Send Remote Hardware Reset : This management feature allows the local
manager to force the remote unit to do a 'warm boot'.
<D> Small Form Pluggable : If the converter is the 10/100iS-2E model, it has an SFP
cage. This menu item will call a sub-menu to display the SFP information according to
the Multi-Source Agreement (MSA).
