CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Cabletron Systems FOMIM-32/36/38 Fiber Optic Media Interface Module User’s Guide. We have designed this manual to serve as a simple installation and reference guide for the FOMIM, and to explain the capabilities and special features of the module. Before using the FOMIM, you need to carefully read through this manual to gain a full understanding of the FOMIM and its capabilities. Cabletron Systems offers three versions of 1300 nm single

Chapter 1: Introduction 1.3.2 Multi Media Access Centers The Cabletron Systems Fiber Optic Media Interface Modules are designed to be installed into the Cabletron Systems Multi Media Access Center (MMAC). The modular design of the MMAC allows the FOMIM to co-exist with other Media Interface Modules (MIMs) to provide a variety of different media connections on any one point. Each packet entering the FOMIM is repeated by the repeater module in the MMAC. Each packet that enters the rep

LANVIEW Status Monitoring System LANVIEW LEDs Figure 1-2 LANVIEW LEDs The following discusses the function of each LANVIEW LED on the FOMIM (Figure 1-2). Note that there is one Link OK (LNK) and one Receive (RCV) LED for each port on the MIM, as well as one Error (ERR) and one Collision (CLN) LED for the entire MIM. Link OK (LNK) LED When lit, this green LED indicates that a link has been established between the receive circuitry of the FOMIM and the transmit circuitry of the fiber

Chapter 1: Introduction Error (ERR) LED When lit, this red LED indicates the temperature within the MMAC chassis has risen to 40 C or greater. The FOMIM alerts the management board, and the FOMIM in turn receives a signal to light the LED. 1.5 RELATED MANUALS The manuals listed below should be used to supplement the procedures and other technical data provided in this manual. The procedures contained in these manuals will be referenced, rather than repeated, in th

CHAPTER 2 NETWORK REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION This chapter begins with network design guidelines in Section 2.1, Network Cable Requirements, that must be met before installing the module in a network. It then provides instructions for installing the Cabletron Systems Fiber Optic Media Interface Module into the MMAC family of modular hubs. 2.1 NETWORK CABLE REQUIREMENTS When connecting fiber optic segments to the FOMIM, you must follow the network guidelines listed below.

Chapter 2: Network Requirements and Installation Propagation delay is the amount of time it takes a packet to travel from the sending device to the receiving device. Total propagation delay allowed for the entire network is 25.6 m s. If the total propagation delay between any two nodes on the network exceeds 25.6 m s, then bridges should be used. • When using single mode fiber optic cable, segment lengths up to 5 km are possible if system budgets are met. 2.2 UNPACKING THE FOMIM Unp

Installing the FOMIM into the MMAC 2.3 INSTALLING THE FOMIM INTO THE MMAC You can easily install the FOMIM into a Multi Media Access Center with a Flexible Network Bus (MMAC-FNB). Install the FOMIM into the MMAC as follows: 1. Power down the MMAC hub. 2. Remove any chassis safety bars present on the front of the MMAC hub. 3. Slide the FOMIM (Figure 2-1) into the card cage of the MMAC hub. Be sure that the card is properly aligned in the top and bottom slots of the card cage. Slot 1 of the

Chapter 2: Network Requirements and Installation 2.4 CONNECTING FIBER OPTIC CABLING TO THE FOMIM Each fiber optic link consists of two strands of fiber optic cabling: the transmit (TX) and the receive (RX). The transmit strand from a module port connects to the receive port of a fiber optic Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. The receive strand of the applicable port on the module connects to the transmit port of the fiber optic Ethernet device. Cabletron Systems recommends labelin

Connecting Fiber Optic Cabling to the FOMIM 4. At the other end of the fiber optic cable, attach the fiber pair to the transmit and receive ports of the device. If link indicators are present for the fiber optic connection, check that they are ON. If an indicator is present but not ON, that port does not have a valid link. Perform each of the following steps until you reach a resolution of the problem and achieve a link. • Check that the device at the other end of the link is ON. • Verify pro
