1. Product Overview
1.1 The FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card (Version 2)
The Fiber Service Platform (FSP) 500 10/100 Ethernet Card (Version 2) is part of
the FSP 500 system and is designed to provide both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX
Local Area Network (LAN) interfaces. Two versions of this card are available:
i) The standard version; and
ii) The hot standby version.

1.1.1 Standard Version

The standard version FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card retransmits data between the
connected devices over distances of up to 44km on singlemode fiber using high
power optics.
Colored laser variants of the standard card are available allowing operation with the
FSP 500 Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) system, permitting link
distances of up to 80km. The wavelengths of the colored laser cards are 1471nm,
1491nm, 1511nm, 1531nm, 1551nm, 1571nm, 1591nm and 1611nm. These
wavelengths correspond with the channel inputs to the FSP 500 4-Channel and
8-Channel CWDM Cards.
In addition to use with the CWDM system, the standard colored laser variants are
also an important part of the Single Fiber Working (SFW) solution for FSP 500.
The FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card reduces received jitter that ensures error-free
operation when connected to any IEEE 802.3 device.

NOTE: FC Connectors are shown, SC Connectors also available.

ADVA Optical Networking Section 1 - Product Overview

1.1.2 Hot Standby Version

In order to support applications requiring a redundant fiber back-up path, hot
standby versions of the 10/100 Ethernet Card are also available. These provide
outputs on two singlemode fiber pairs (Tx/Rx) with a choice of connector styles.
Identical to the standard 10/100 Ethernet Card versions, the hot standby cards
support high power customer interfaces.
The network singlemode system links can be up to 37km on singlemode fiber using
high power optics. Colored laser variants of the hot standby card are also available,
as for the standard card, for use with the CWDM system. These permit link
distances of 68km.
The hot standby cards are all double-width and can only be accommodated in the
3U Chassis (up to 8 cards in total) or in the 1.7U “Protected” Chassis (one card only
plus one NEMI Card). Refer to Section 7 - Appendix C - Technical Data - Hot
Standby Versions for all the technical specifications for the hot standby cards.

NOTE: FC Connectors are shown, SC Connectors also available.

ADVA Optical Networking Section 1 - Product Overview

1.3 Data Rate

The FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card can be configured to operate at either 10 or
100Mbit/s. Switch A controls the speed whenever auto-negotiation is not enabled
(see Section 4 - Switch Settings):
ON - 100Mbit/s
OFF - 10Mbit/s.
The FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card works transparently with either FDX or HDX
ports attached.

1.4 Auto-negotiation
The FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card supports auto-negotiation on the user port,
which is enabled by setting Switch B to ON (see Section 4 - Switch Settings). When
enabled the port will auto-negotiate with other auto-negotiation capable devices so
that a link is established at the highest capability of the devices on the link. The port
will advertise its capabilities to the attached port and negotiate to the highest
capability possible.
NOTES: (1) If connecting to a device running HDX, Auto-negotiation MUST be
turned off.
(2) The FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card is a transceiver. The devices
attached to the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card at either end MUST have
the same highest common capability and operate in the same mode and
speed, e.g. all elements of the link must be operating at say 10Mbit/s FDX
or all at 100Mbit/s FDX. It is not possible to mix 10Mbit/s and 100Mbit/s
operation on the same link.
Setting Switch B OFF allows the data rate to be controlled by the speed select
switch (Switch A), see Section 4 - Switch Settings.

1.5 Frame Size

The FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card transparently supports all frame sizes including
longer frames used for VLAN tagging. This includes transmission of 802.1q VLAN
tagged frames as well as ISL 1548 byte length frames.

1.6 Drive Distance

The FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card allows a user to connect LAN interfaces over
extended distances. Each user port has a maximum drive distance of 100m on
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables. Every standard FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet
Card system link can be up to 44km using high power optics. The launch power
option available typically launches at -1.5dBm and receives to a minimum light level
of -28dBm. See Section 6 - Appendix B - Technical Data - Standard Versions for
more details.
For hot standby versions of the 10/100 Ethernet Card, the optical launch power is
reduced by nominally 3.5dB compared to the standard versions. This results in a
corresponding reduction in the available optical budget and the achievable
transmission distances.
Refer to Section 7 - Appendix C - Technical Data - Hot Standby Versions for the
technical specifications of the hot standby versions of the 10/100 Ethernet Card.

1.7 Ergonomics
The standard FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card can be installed in any of the FSP 500
chassis types available except in the 1.7U “Protected” Chassis. This chassis is
designed to accommodate the hot standby variants of this card only. The hot
standby variant of this card can only also be installed in the Managed Chassis (3U),
where it occupies two slots.

ADVA Optical Networking Page 9

ADVA Optical Networking Section 1 - Product Overview

1.8 Power Supply

The FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card receives all its power from the Power Supply
Units (PSUs) mounted in the FSP 500 chassis. All chassis can support Alternating
Current (AC) and 48V Direct Current (DC) PSUs in single and redundant forms.
Consult your FSP 500 chassis manual for details.

1.9 Link Loss Forwarding

To allow system link failures to be passed to the user interface a link loss forwarding
feature is provided.
This is enabled by setting Switch D to ON, and is disabled when Switch D is OFF.
(See Section 4 - Switch Settings).
When enabled failures on the system link are passed to the user port, and can be
seen by the device attached to the user port as a link failure. Consequently the
system link must be good before the user link is established.
When disabled each of the system and user links are established independently.

1.10 Management
NOTES: (1) The management described in this section is provided by the NEMI
Card Firmware Version 3.3 or later.
(2) If using an earlier release of the FSP 500 system refer to the SNMP
Management Card Installation Manual for management details.
The FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card is managed via the FSP 500 Network Element
Management Interface (NEMI) Card, which supports both In-Band and Out-of-Band
management of the unit.
Once installed in a chassis with a FSP 500 NEMI Card or connected via the fiber to
a card in a FSP 500 managed chassis, the management agent automatically detects
the card and will display the following information.
NOTE: This information is the same for the local and remote cards and is available
via the NEMI Craft Interface (see the FSP 500 NEMI Card Installation
Manual), as well as the Management Information Base (MIB).
i) Card Type
ii) Card Speed
iii) Temperature (C)
iv) Rail Voltage (V)
v) PSU
vi) FAN
vii) User Port
viii) Loopback/AIS
ix) System Port
x) Laser Bias
xi) Serial Number

xiii) Location
xiv) Connector Information.
The FSP 500 NEMI Card provides trap alarms for the following parameters of the
FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card.

ADVA Optical Networking Page 10

ADVA Optical Networking Section 1 - Product Overview

Card Type
The type of the card in the slot (FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card in this case).

Card Speed
This field indicates the operating speed of the transceiver card. The FSP 500 10/100
Ethernet Card supports operation at either 10Mbit/s or 100Mbit/s. This selection is
done either automatically, if auto-negotiation is enabled on the cards, or, if auto-
negotiation is disabled, by manually setting the speed DIP switch on the cards to
force either 10Mbit/s or 100Mbit/s operation (see Section 4 Switch Settings). The
speed can also be set remotely via the NEMI (see Section 4.1 Software Override
Facility).

Temperature (C)
This is the temperature of the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card. A trap alarm is
generated if the temperature is not within the required range.
NOTE: This temperature monitors the actual temperature of the electronics on the
card. Acceptable values are from -10°C to +70°C. It is normal for this
value to be higher than the surrounding ambient temperature.

Rail Voltage (V)

This is the voltage actually present at the card. In non-redundant PSU chassis types
this can be used to monitor the state of the power supply and should always be
greater than 4.9V.

PSU
This field gives an indication of the operating state of the PSUs in the FSP 500
chassis associated with the transceiver displayed, i.e. the local or remote FSP 500
chassis. The displayed state of the PSUs can be any one of the following:
i) Good.
ii) Under voltage (the voltage on the card is too low).
iii) Over voltage (the voltage on the card is too high).

FAN
All FSP 500 chassis types have fan-assisted cooling. The NEMI Card monitors the
fan speed in both the local and remote chassis and an alarm is generated if the fan
speed falls below a pre-set limit. Care should be taken not to block the inlets or
outlets of the fans on either side or rear of the chassis.

User Port
This field gives an indication of the state of the copper (user) connections of the
10/100 Ethernet Card in the FSP 500 Managed Chassis and its associated 10/100
Ethernet Card in the FSP 500 Remote Chassis to customer equipment. The display
for the user port can be:
i) Link UP (the link is active, but idle).
ii) Link DOWN (the link is inactive).

Loopback/AIS
This field gives an indication of the loopback activity on the transceiver cards in both
the selected slot of the FSP 500 Managed Chassis and its associated transceiver
card in the FSP 500 Remote Chassis.

ADVA Optical Networking Page 11

ADVA Optical Networking Section 1 - Product Overview

System Port
This gives an indication of the state of the fiber connections of the FSP 500 10/100
Ethernet Card.
The singlemode system port states can be:
i) Fiber Inserted (the 10/100 Ethernet Card is correctly attached).
ii) Check Rx (the receiver link is faulty).
iii) Remote Fault (the Rx path fiber is intact but there is a fault in the Tx fiber path to
the remote card).
For Hot Standby Cards System Ports A and B are shown. The Active fiber path is
shown with an asterix (*).

Laser Bias
The laser bias current gives an indication of the drive current required to maintain
the correct output power of the laser on the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card. The
value of the laser bias is used to generate a trap if a threshold value is exceeded.
This indicates that the laser is approaching its end of life and the card should be
replaced during a suitable maintenance window.

Serial Number
This field gives the serial number of the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card in the
selected slot of the FSP 500 Managed Chassis.

Firmware Version
This field gives the factory loaded firmware version number resident on the FSP 500
10/100 Ethernet Card.

2.3 General Set-Up

The optical figures referred to in the following section relate to the standard long haul
1310nm versions of this product. For the corresponding figures for the colored laser
options, please refer to Section 6 - Appendix B - Technical Data - Standard Versions
for the standard version cards.
Refer to Section 7 - Appendix C - Technical Data - Hot Standby Versions for the hot
standby versions of the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card.
1) Set Switch A to the required operating speed; OFF for 10Mbit/s or ON for
100Mbit/s operation on both FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Cards.
2) Configure the attached switches/ports to fixed rate FDX for the required
speed. If the attached switches/ports only support “auto” mode the FSP 500
10/100 Ethernet Card can auto-negotiate with these ports to allow FDX
operation. Setting Switch B ON enables auto-negotiation. With Switch B set
to ON, Switch A has no effect.
NOTES: (1) Where possible auto-negotiation should be used.
(2) Auto-negotiation does not take place across the system link. The
local user ports negotiate independently. Consequently the ports at
both ends of the link must support the same highest common mode.
I.e. one end must not negotiate a 100Mbit/s link if the far end can
only negotiate a 10Mbit/s link.
3) If a FSP 500 NEMI Card is present in either of the chassis on the link both
Local/Remote switches should be set to Remote i.e. both cards must have
Switch C ON (this is the default setting).
NOTE: If no FSP 500 NEMI Card is present in either of the chassis one
card MUST be set to Local and the other to Remote. (Setting the
card to Local allows the link connection to operate correctly, when
present the NEMI Card controls this automatically), i.e. with no
NEMI Card in either chassis one card must have Switch C set
to OFF (Local) and the other far end device set to ON (Remote).
4) If link loss forwarding is required set Switch D to ON. (In this mode failures on
the system link cause the user link to be dropped).
If the state of the system link is not to affect the user link then Switch D must
be set to OFF. In this mode each of the system and user links establish
themselves independently. This is the default setting.
5) Position the first FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card at the required slot in the FSP
500 Managed Chassis.
6) Push the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card along the card guides into the slot
until it engages with the connector inside the FSP 500 chassis. Repeat at the
remote location.
7) Tighten the two captive screws on the front panels of both FSP 500 10/100
Ethernet Cards to secure them in position.
8) Make sure on both FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Cards that the 10/100 Light
Emitting Diode (LED) illuminates to indicate that power is available and that it
is the correct color, yellow for 10Mbit/s or green for 100Mbit/s. Also note that
the Alarm LED illuminates.
9) Using the loss set, and ideally a technician at the FSP 500 remote chassis,
check that the link budget is less than 22dB.
10) Ensure connector ends are clean. Connect the fiber cables to the Tx
connectors at both ends of the link. Make sure that the local Tx is connected
to the far end Rx and vice versa.
11) Measure the received light level at the far end of the link. Check that the
received light is between -10dBm and -28dBm. If the received light is greater
than -10dBm an attenuator is required.

12) Make sure the Alarm LED is extinguished. If the Alarm LED on the FSP 500
10/100 Ethernet Card in the FSP 500 Managed Chassis remains illuminated,
check that the Rx power is greater than -28dBm. If it is less than -28dBm
check the launch power of the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card in the FSP 500
remote chassis and check the fiber connections are correctly made Tx to Rx.
13) If the Alarm LED on the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card in the FSP 500 2 Card
Chassis remains illuminated, check that the Rx power is greater than -28dBm.
If it is less than -28dBm check the launch power of the FSP 500 10/100
Ethernet Card in the FSP 500 Managed Chassis.
14) At both FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Cards insert the copper interface in the
RJ45 10T/100TX port. To connect to a Data Communicating Equipment
(DCE) use a straight-through cable; to connect to a Data Terminating
Equipment (DTE) use the crossover cable supplied. Make sure the Link LED
illuminates.
15) For standard version cards, once the link is correctly made check the
following:
i) The 10/100 LED is illuminated and is the correct color at both ends of the
link.
ii) The Link LED is illuminated.
iii) The Rem F LED is extinguished.
iv) The Alarm LED is extinguished.
16) For hot standby cards, once the link is correctly made check the following:
i) The 10/100 LED is illuminated and is the correct color at both ends of the
link.
ii) The Link LED is illuminated.
iii) The Rem F LED is extinguished.
iv) The Rx Alarm LED on the active link is illuminated Green and the Rx
Alarm LED on the inactive link is off, if the protected (redundant) link is
used.
17) If any of the LEDs are not correctly illuminated/extinguished see Section 5 -
Appendix A - Troubleshooting for possible causes.
NOTE: During commissioning most faults are associated with incorrect or
dirty cabling, incorrect patching, loss of power or excessive power
budget.
The hardware installation is now complete. To enable management refer to the

SWITCH POSITION FUNCTION

A, Speed (10/100) Controls the speed of the card when auto-
negotiation is not set.

ON 100Mbit/s operation.

OFF 10Mbit/s operation.

B, Auto-negotiation Used to control the user port operating mode.

Either as fixed speed and mode or auto-negotiated
mode. Switch A controls the speed when auto-
negotiation is disabled.
NOTES: (1) Auto-negotiation takes place at the
local card user port. The far end card
must negotiate the same operating mode
and speed as the local card, e.g. if this
card auto-negotiates 100Mbit/s FDX the
card at the remote site must auto-
negotiate 100Mbit/s FDX. The port type
that the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Cards
connect to will control this.
If there is any doubt configure all ports
manually using fixed configuration.
(2) If connecting to a device running
HDX, Auto-negotiation MUST be
turned off.

ON Auto-negotiation at the local user port is enabled.

OFF Auto-negotiation is disabled.

C, Local/Remote Used when no FSP 500 NEMI Card is present.

One card must be set to Local, the other to
Remote.
When a FSP 500 NEMI Card is present set both
cards to Remote. This is the default setting.

ON Remote (other end of a link).

OFF Local (one end of the link).

D, Link Loss Controls whether or not failures on the system link

Forwarding cause the user port to be disabled. This is useful
for indicating the fiber failure to the attached
device.
When this feature is disabled (i.e. the switch is
OFF) the user and system ports establish their
links independently.

ON Enabled.

OFF Disabled.

E Always OFF Not Used.

F Always OFF Not Used.

G, Software Control If this is enabled then the management software
can override all local switch settings, except the
Local/Remote switch (Switch C) and the Software
Control switch (Switch G).
If this is enabled then the card will IGNORE THE
SWITCH SETTINGS and configure itself to its last
setting specified by management.

ON Enabled.

4.1 Software Override Facility

The settings of some, but not all, of the switches on the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet
Card (see Figure 4 - Switch Positions) can be overridden from the NEMI Craft
Interface.
NOTE: The switches that cannot be over-ridden are the Local/Remote switch
(Switch C) and the Software Control switch (Switch G).
To enable a software override, the Software Control switch (Switch G) must be in the
enable position (i.e. set to ON).
When a software override is enabled the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card boots using
the last switch values stored in EEPROM and not the settings of the switches
themselves. There is no method by which the switch values on the card can be
stored directly into the EEPROM.
To access the override facility, log in to the NEMI Craft Interface at Manager Level.
Press 2 for System Information and then press 1 to access Link Status.
Next press the number corresponding to the link to be controlled. A Slot
Information screen similar to the one shown below will be displayed:

ADVA Optical Networking Page 21

ADVA Optical Networking Section 4 - Switch Settings

To adjust the switch settings on the local FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card, press c to
select Configure Module Info and then select 9 Set On-board switches.
The On-board Switch Settings Menu will be displayed, similar to that shown
below:

Select 1 Local On-board Switch Settings or 2 Remote On-board

Switch Settings. A screen similar to the one shown below will be displayed,
showing the current switch settings:

NOTES: (1) If the Software Control field displays Disabled, then the
software override facility has not been turned on at the Software Control
switch (Switch G). If this is the case, switch settings cannot be changed.
(2) The display will show the current setting of each switch. However, if
Auto-negotiate is set to Enabled, then the display may not reflect the
correct operating conditions.

ADVA Optical Networking Page 22

ADVA Optical Networking Section 4 - Switch Settings

Assuming that software control has been enabled (i.e. if the Software Control
field displays Enabled), change the appropriate switch settings by pressing the
corresponding number shown on the left-hand side. This will toggle the value on the
screen.
The changes immediately take effect on the FSP 500 10/100 Ethernet Card. Should
the card be subsequently powered down it will then boot from these new values.
When the changes have been made, press 0 to return to the Slot Information
Menu.
To check that the changes have taken place correctly, select d Display Module
Info and then press 2 On-board Switch Settings. When the changes have
been checked and are correct, press 0 to return to the Main Menu.
Exit the NEMI Craft Terminal Interface in the normal way and as required.
