3 Chapter 1 Overview Description This installation guide is divided into three main sections: Overview: A general description of the Avaya s M14-10F, including interfaces, LED indicators and a front panel illustration. Installation: Step-by-step instructions for configuring the hardware, calculating domain usage, and installing the M14-10F in an Avaya M770. Software Configuration: Instructions for navigating the M14-10F setup menus and step-by-step instructions for performing basic setup operations of the M14-10F module. Troubleshooting: Suggested solutions for commonly encountered problems. The M14-10F is a 10BASE-FL Ethernet DomainX module for insertion into the Avaya M770. It provides a long-distance - Ethernet backbone connection between the Avaya M770 Frame Switch and the Avaya M400 modules or any 10BASE-FL compliant equipment. The Avaya M770 supports two Frame Switches, named DomainXs: DomainXL spans slots 1-7, and DomainXR spans slots Each DomainX supports up to 6 Gbytes of bandwidth. You can insert the M14-10F into either DomainX, provided you don t exceed the maximum of 100 Domain Resource Units (DRUs) per DomainX. Each module uses a certain number of DRUs; the M14-10F uses 6 DRUs. The M14-10F s fiber-optic ports allow cable lengths of up to 2 km, giving campuswide end-to-end switched Ethernet connectivity. Each of the module's 14 ports can operate in half or full duplex mode. In addition, the top-performing Avaya congestion management means that no packets will be lost, reducing the need for bandwidth-wasting retransmission. The M14-10F is IEEE Base-FL compliant. The M14-10F supports multimode fiber optic connections, facilitating interhub links across distances of up to two kilometers. By establishing high-speed Avaya M770 connections over long distances, the M14-10F extends the performance advantages of Avaya M400 modules across multi-hub campus LANs. The M14-10F is manageable under CajunView, Avaya s family of SNMP network management systems, or any other SNMP-based management system. M14-10F Installation Guide 1

5 Chapter 2 Installation Installation Overview There are several stages involved in the installation of the M14-10F: Hardware Configuration: Setting operation parameters via DIP switches on the module s circuit board. Domain Usage Considerations: Computing whether your intended configuration fits the Avaya M770 domain resources. Installing the Module: Inserting the module in the Avaya M770, and connecting fiber-optic cables to the module s ports for connection to other equipment: switch, hub or station. Caution: The M14-10F contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge. To prevent ESD damage, always hold the card by its sides only, and do not touch the circuit board components unless instructed to do so. Before handling the module or inserting it in the hub, touch the chassis of the hub to discharge any electrostatic charge on your body. Note: The recommended Avaya M770 configuration is two M-PS500 units, plus a third unit for redundancy. Such a configuration supports any number of DomainX and Avaya M400 Gate Switch modules in the hub. If there is only one M-PS500 unit available, the maximum number of modules in the hub is based on the following guidelines: 5 or less DomainX modules, or 4 DomainX modules with 2 or less Avaya M400 modules, or 3 DomainX modules with between 2 and 5 Avaya M440 modules.

6 Chapter 2 Installation Hardware Configuration Before installing the M14-10F module in the hub, you must configure the hardware by setting the appropriate DIP switches on the upper circuit board. The following diagram shows the position of switches on the circuit board. The illustration is oriented with backplane connectors to the right.

7 Chapter 2 Installation Setting the DIP Switches The switches are shown in their actual location on the circuit board illustration. Do not touch or alter the unlabelled DIP switches. The functions of the switches are described below: Table 3 DIP Switches on Upper Circuit Board SW# Name Function ON OFF Default 1 SP For future use - - OFF 2 T_IMG Toggle between the two memory bank sources from which the module software is booted. This DIP switch should be used only if you lose your management connection to the module and need to change the default bank from which the module software is booted. To set a switch to ON, slide it in the direction shown by the ON arrow. Caution: Before changing DIP switch settings remove the module from the hub. M14-10F Installation Guide 5

8 Chapter 2 Installation Domain Usage Considerations The M14-10F is a DomainX module of the Avaya M770. The maximum number of DomainX modules you can insert in the hub is determined by domain usage considerations, as follows (M-SPV refers to either the M-SPV or the M-SPX in the following examples): The Avaya M770 allows a maximum of 100 Domain Resource Units (DRUs) for DomainXL (Left DomainX - slots 1-7) and the M-SPV, and 100 DRUs for DomainXR (Right DomainX - slots 8-14) and the M-SPV. Each of the DomainX modules, as well as the M-SPV module, has a DRU budget, as shown in the table below. When planning your hub configuration, calculate whether it fits the Avaya M770 DRU budget. Table 4 Avaya M770 Module DRU Budget Module Name DRU Budget M-SPV/M-SPX 10 DRUs M12-100T 18 DRUs M12-100F 18 DRUs M DRUs M-MLS 6 DRUs M14-10F 6 DRUs Budget Calculation Examples 1. If you have six M14-10F modules, an M module and the M-SPV you get: 6* = 61 DRUs. Assuming that you have the same configuration on the DomainXL and Domain XR switches you get a total of 168 Ethernet, 12 Fast Ethernet and 4 Gigabit ports. 2. If you have five M modules and the M-SPV you get: 5*18+10 = 100 DRUs. Assuming that there are five modules on both the DomainXL and Domain XR switches you get a total of 120 ports. 3. If you have six M modules and the M-SPV you get: 6*15+10=100 DRUs. Assuming that there are six modules on both the DomainXL and Domain XR switches you get a total of 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 72 Fast Ethernet ports. 4. If you have four M modules, one M and the M-SPV/M-SPX you get: 4* =97 DRUs. This is less than 100 DRUs and is therefore another possible configuration. Note: A redundant M-SPV does not count in the DRU calculations. However you must include the active M-SPV twice, once for DomainXL and once for DomainXR 6 M14-10F Installation Guide

9 Chapter 2 Installation DRU Budget Information Window You can check the DRU budget information for your Avaya M770 hub via the CajunView Network Management System (NMS). The following window shows an example of a hub with an M-SPV, 2 M12-100T and an M12-100F module. Figure 2 DRU Budget Information Window M14-10F Installation Guide 7

10 Chapter 2 Installation Installing the Module The M14-10F occupies one slot in the Avaya M770 chassis and can be inserted into any available position. The M14-10F can be installed or removed while power is on. To install the M14-10F: Hold the module (shaped like an upside down L) using both hands. The colored module name panel and LEDs should be on top (see Figure 3). Fold out the plastic handles on the top and bottom of the front panel. While holding the module by its handles, place it onto the top and bottom guide rails in the hub and gently slide it in. Plug in the module by pressing firmly on the mid-section of the front panel. Fold down the handles and secure the module using the two screws at the top and bottom of the front panel. Do not over-tighten the screws. Optical Parameters Note: Even though the modules are hot-swappable a short self initialization period is required when inserting or removing them from the hub. Allow at least 5 seconds initialization time between modules when inserting or removing several modules.
