QR.1.3 Description Of Switches
Switch 1
You can set the type of fiber keying on RI/RO ports to connect to devices
using 802.5J fiber keying or devices using Cabletron fiber keying.
Switch 1 dictates the type of fiber keying; the setting depends on whether
the attached device is using Cabletron fiber keying or 802.5J fiber keying.
Set the switch as shown in the table.
Switch 2
This switch works in conjunction with Switch 4 to select the mode of
operation for the RJ45 port. Use Switch 4 to dictate whether the FOT will
act as a RI/RO device or station/lobe device. Once this has been done
Switch 2 determines the application of the RJ45 port. The fiber ST port
automatically configures to work with the RJ45 port. For example,
configuring the RJ45 port as a RI, automatically changes the fiber ST port
to a RO. Set Switch 2 as shown in the table.
NOTE
Cabletron Systems offers complete compatibility with vendor
products that comply with the “new” 802.5J standard for fiber
RI/RO ports.Therefore, the MCC-DFL offers connectivity to
products using 802.5J or Cabletron Systems fiber keying.
KeyingType for Fiber RI/RO ST Port * Set Switch 1 to Position
Connection to Cabletron compliant devices On
Connection to 802.5J compliant devices Off
*Applicable to RI/RO applications only – 802.5J fiber keying is always
used for station and lobe applications.
Mode of Operation for RJ-45 Port Set Switch 2 to Position
RO or lobe applications On
RI or station applications Off

QR-6
Switch 3
When the FOT is being used as a RI/RO device this switch enables or
disables the autowrap feature on the RJ45 port. It has no relevance to
station/lobe applications. The feature should be enabled to connect to
Cabletron devices or disabled to connect to non-Cabletron devices.
Set Switch 3 as shown in the table.
Switch 4
This switch selects the mode on the entire FOT. Use the switch to
configure it as a RI/RO device or a station/lobe device. Then use Switch 2
to establish the configuration of the RJ45 port; the fiber ST port
configures automatically. Set Switch 4 as shown in the table.

QR.2 LED FUNCTIONS
Consult the diagram to help interpret LED indications.
MCC-DFL LEDs
PWR - Power
The PWR LED lights GREEN during normal operation, indicating the
reception of power. If the LED is off, the MCC-DFL is not receiving
power.
16 Mb - Ring Speed
Each FOT has a 16 Mb LED. The LEDs lightsYELLOW to indicate a
16 Mbps ring speed on the associated FOT. An unlit LED indicates a ring
speed of 4 Mbps on the associated FOT.
P1 And P2 - Ports
Each FOT has P1 and P2 LEDs to indicate the status of the associated
port.
On FOT-A, the P1 LED indicates the status of the RJ45 port and the
P2 LED indicates the status of the fiber ST port.

On FOT-B, the P1 LED indicates the status of the fiber ST port and the P2
LED indicates the status of the RJ45 port.
P1 And P2 LEDs For Station And Lobe Ports
The P1 and P2 LED indications vary slightly for fiber ST and RJ45 ports.
The table below describes the LED indications for ports configured as
lobe or station ports.
NOTE
The P1 and P2 LEDs act differently on FOTs configured for
station/lobe applications than they do for FOTs configured for
RI/RO applications.
