Introduction

FRM220-TM-10GMux is a 7 x 1GE to 10G Muxponder that can

transport seven separate Gigabit Ethernet data streams into a 10Gbps

SFP+ Based trunk port using TDM technology. The 7 x 1GE interfaces use

SFP-based access that can accommodate various types of SFP, such as

Multi-mode, Single mode and 1Gbps copper SFPs. The trunk port is a

SFP+ 10Gbps permitting flexible connectivity options between the

Muxponders either in a WDM system or directly between two devices.

FRM220-TM-10GMux can be installed in a 19-inch 2U 20-slot

chassis (FRM220-CH20) or 19-inch 1U 8-slot chassis (FRM220-CH08).

Both housings can be monitored and configured through SNMP, Web

GUI or Telnet using a NMC management module. By using FRM220-TM-

10GMux in the network, it provides significant cost reduction and

excellent fiber utilization when it is compared with CWDM optical

multiplexing.

Management Features

When FRM220-TM-10GMux is placed in a stand-alone chassis

(such as FRM220-CH02M) 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 (such as

FRM220-CH20 and FRM220-CH08), the card is configured and monitored

through the chassis NMC (network management controller) via console,

Telnet, Web HTTP or SNMP.

Chassis Installation I

The installation of the FRM220-TM-10GMux card is very straight

forward. Once the chassis has been mounted into a 2RU rack space, the

FRM220-TM-10GMux cards can be inserted in any order and in any slot

of the chassis.

To install the chassis card, align the card with the slot in the

chassis. With the thumb screw at the top of the card, slide the card all

the way into the chassis and secure the thumb screw. No tools are

required, however, if a card’s screw is over tightened, it may require

loosening with a small flat blade screwdriver. Please refer to the figure

below.

Figure 1. Muxponder Card being Inserted into 20-Slot Chassis

Chassis Installation II

The double-width blade card can be inserted into two-slot chassis

for a completely assembled standalone unit. When you install FRM220-

TM-10GMux card in FRM220-CH02M chassis, you can set up functions

using the console terminal.

SFP/SFP+

Introduction

The FRM220-TM-10GMux accepts any 1.25G SFP (CH1~CH7) and

10G SFP+ (Line) unit 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 SFP or SFP+ only when ready to

plug in optical cables.

When selecting SFP or SFP+ optical modules, make sure the

modules are able to support the required data rates.

Installation

SFP or SFP+ modules supplied by CTC Union are of the Bale Clasp

type. The bale clasp pluggable module has a bale clasp that secures the

module into the SFP or SFP+ cage.

 Inserting a Bale Clasp SFP/SFP+ Module into the cage

Step 1. Close the bale clasp upward before inserting the pluggable

module.

Step 2. Line up the SFP/SFP+ module with the port, and slide it

into the cage.

 Removing a Bale Clasp SFP/SFP+ Module

Step 1. Open the bale clasp on the SFP/SFP+ module. Press the

clasp downward with your index finger.

Step 2. Grasp the SFP/SFP+ module between your thumb and

index finger and carefully remove it from the SFP/SFP+ cage.

Figure 3. Bale Clasp type SFP/SFP+ with bale open

WARNING: Fiber optic equipment may emit laser or infrared light

that can injure your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector

port. Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a laser

light source.

Auto Laser Shutdown

Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS) is a technique used to

automatically shut down the output power of the fiber transmitter in

case of fiber break according to ITU-T G.664. This is a safety feature that

prevents dangerous levels of laser light from leaking out of a broken

fiber, provided ALS is provisioned on both ends of the fiber pair. The

sequence of events is as follows. If a fiber is cut, the receiver will detect

a Loss Of Signal (LOS). The ALS agent will turn off the transmitter. The

receiver at the far end will then detect an LOS and its ALS agent will turn

off the transmitter. In this way the entire fiber will go dark.

Client Side Loopback Test (LBT) Function

The loopback capability of FRM220-TM-10GMux is useful for

debugging a dysfunctional SFP link (CH1~CH7). 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. When placed in a managed FRM220-CH20 or CH08 chassis, the

loopback test function can also be controlled by the NMC manager in

FRM220 chassis.

In the example below, when the loopback test function is enabled

at the remote client side, all data received on the remote receiver

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

connection.

Caution: Looping of Ethernet may cause a broadcast storm.

Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP)

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

from one media to the other over the Muxponder. LFP function of

FRM220-TM-10GMux supports both "Line to Client" and "Client to

Client" SFP fiber link fault application for troubleshooting purposes. See

below for detailed explanations:

"Line to Client" LFP Application

For "Line to Client" fiber link pass through application, this feature

will pass a fiber link fault through the device to the SFP at the Client side

when SFP+ LFP function at the Line side enabled. Therefore, if a link fails

on the SFP+ Line side, the Muxponder will force the SFP CH1~CH7 at the

Client side link down.

For example:

As shown in the figure above, if a fault occurs on the 10G SFP+

Line side with local Line LFP enabled, the Muxponder would force each

channel in the local Client side link down.

"Client to Client" LFP Application

Each channel of the client side supports LFP function. With LFP

function of a particular channel enabled, if this channel is link down, the

far end of the channel will be forced to link down as well. A complete

table of "Client to Client" LFP settings is provided below for your

reference.

For example:

In this example, the diagram shows that LFP function of CH1 in

local client side is enabled but the remote client side is disabled. When

the link fault occurs at the local side, this will force the remote client link

down. On the other hand, when the link fault occurs at the remote side,

this will not force the local client link down.

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, Win7 or newer.
