Set-up and Installation
This section describes how to set up and install the L357.
2.1 Set Up and Install the L357
Before setting up the L357, make sure the chassis is installed and its Users Manual is available for
reference. If the system includes an optional DMM and CIM(s), make sure these are available:
•Serial cable (required to connect the chassis to a VT100 type terminal or PC)
•VT100 type terminal or PC to run the User Interface manager
•The DMM and CIM manuals
1. Unpack and inspect all components. Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you
need to return the equipment to the manufacturer. Appendix A provides information for Return
Material Authorization (RMA).
2. Before inserting the L357, check the front panel to verify that the L357 provides the wavelength
that matches its link partner.
3. For installation in a UCS 1001 or a Model 1030 enclosure, or if you plan to use the Hardware
Option Control (see Section 4.5.2), set Switches 1 through 6 (Switches 7 and 8 are not used); see
Figure 2 and Tables 1 and 2. For more information about the hardware switch functions, see
Section 3.3.
Note: An L357 with a fiber User port ignores the settings for User Port Speed/Duplex.
An L357 with a UTP User port ignores the setting for the LLE User Port hardware switch.

4. To install the L357 in a BAM in a UCS 1000 or 1001, follow these steps:
a. Insert a BAM into an available slot. Slide the BAM into the rails and push it firmly into the
connector, then tighten the captive screws. If you encounter resistance, pull the BAM out and
check that no connector pins are bent.
b. Insert the L357 into an unused slot in the BAM. Slide the L357 into the rails and push it
firmly into the connector, then tighten the captive screw. If you encounter resistance, pull it
out and check that no connector pins are bent. If you encounter more difficulty, contact
Canoga Perkins at [phone] for technical assistance.
5. To install the L357 in a UCS Model 1002 or Standalone Enclosure, insert the L357 into an
unused slot. Slide the L357 into the rails and push it firmly into the backplane, then tighten the
captive screw. If you encounter resistance, pull it out and check that no connector pins are bent.
If you encounter more difficulty, contact Canoga Perkins at [phone] for technical
assistance.
Note: The L357 is hot-swappable and can be inserted or removed without disrupting data transfer
in other modules in the chassis.

EdgeAccess Universal Chassis System
L357 Gigabit Ethernet Service Unit 2-3
2.2 Install the Cables
The L357 uses both electrical and fiber optic cables. Electrical UTP cables connect to the User Port.
Fiber optic cables connect to the Extension port. Dirty optical connectors are a common source of
link loss or attenuation problems, especially for single mode fiber (SMF). Clean the connectors
before plugging in a cable and whenever there is a significant or unexplained light loss. To prevent
contamination, always install protective dust covers on unused fiber optic connectors.
Follow these steps to install the cables:
1. Wipe the ferrule and the end-face surface of the male fiber coupler with a lint-free isopropyl
alcohol pad from a fiber cleaning kit.
2. Use canned air to blow out any dust from the female fiber coupler.
Caution: To avoid damaging the fiber end-surface or connector, use extreme care when
installing or removing cables.
3. Plug in the optical cables:
•If you have a single fiber interface, plug the cable into a pair of L357s, one at 1310 nm
wavelength and the other at 1550 nm wavelength.
•If you have a duplex connector, use Tx to Rx, and Rx to Tx orientation.
Caution: To protect the Ethernet port from an intrabuilding lightning surge, use a properly
grounded shielded cable.
4. If you have copper to the User port, plug the UTP Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector into the
User port on the front of the L357.
5. Label each cable and connector with a signal name and direction.
2.3 Measure Fiber Link Attenuation and Transmit Power
Canoga Perkins recommends that you determine and record link attenuation and transmission power
before starting normal link traffic. The attenuation factor and transmission power identify potential
problems with links near the lower limit of receiver limitations.
For details on link attenuation and transmission power, see Chapter 5.

User Operation
This chapter describes the hardware features and functions of the L357.
3.1 L357 Functions and Power Up
Each L357 requires a host for power. During the initial power-up sequence, all LEDs light amber.
When start-up is complete, the setup and installation are correct, and data is transmitting normally
across the link, the STA LED lights green and the LNK/Rx and Tx LEDs for both ports light green or
blink green when they transmit or receive data. See Table 3.
3.2 Front Panel LEDs
The LEDs on the front panel show the system and port conditions. The STA LED shows the link
condition. The LNK/Rx and Tx LEDs show the conditions on the User and Extension Ports and can
be used as an aid when troubleshooting a fault. Table 3 shows the LED states for various conditions.
In the UCS 1000 and 1001, a BAM holds up to two L357s. On the BAM, the STA LED lights green
if either L357 is operating normally. If both L357s are in error conditions, the BAM STA LED lights
amber.

3.3 Alarms
The L357 can generate Major and Minor Alarms.
•In the UCS 1000 and 1002, these alarms are forwarded over the backplane to the CIM and appear
on the Major (MAJ) and Minor (MIN) CIM LEDs and then are forwarded to the DMM for
monitoring and transfer to the Network Manager as traps.
•In the UCS 1001, the alarm outputs are forwarded to the chassis motherboard.
For details about the Alarm Output Configuration, Alarm Log, and Trap Configuration screens, see
Chapter 4.
3.3.1 Link Loss Forwarding
When Link Loss Forwarding (LLF) is enabled, a fault on one side of the L357 propagates to the other
side to notify that device and stops signal transmission (brings down the link). See Figure 3. Set the
LLF propagation to User to Extension, Extension to User, or both directions. Set this in the User
Interface or at Switches 5 and 6; for details on setting the Switches, see Chapter 2.
Figure 3. Link Loss Forwarding Propagation

EdgeAccess Universal Chassis System
L357 Gigabit Ethernet Service Unit
3-4
3.3.2 Link Loss Echo
Caution: To avoid a lockup condition, do not set LLE at both the local and remote ends of the
link.
Link Loss Echo (LLE) propagates a link loss to the device connected to an optical Extension or User
Port on the L357. See Figure 4. If a link loss is detected on the Extension Port Rx, the Extension
Port Tx is disabled, echoing the fault back to the source. LLE configures the L357 to not send data
until it receives data. Set this in the User Interface.
Figure 4. Link Loss Echo Detection
Note: LLE on the optical Extension Port is available only when SBMC is disabled; if you enable
SBMC, use LLF.
A UTP to fiber L357 ignores the LLE User Port setting.
3.3.3 Loopback
The L357 supports four loopback modes that you can set at the local site for both the Local and
Remote L357s. These modes loop the data through either the physical layer (PHY) on the User side
or the FPGA. For details on setting loopback in software, see Section 4.6.
•Local-Local mode loops the electrical data that the Local L357 receives on the local User Port Rx
through the FPGA to the User Port Tx. The data is not sent out the Extension Port Tx and
incoming data on the Extension Port Rx is ignored. See Figure 5. To set this mode at the
Diagnostics screen, set the Loopback State for the Local module to Local.
Figure 5. Local-Local Loopback Mode

EdgeAccess Universal Chassis System
L357 Gigabit Ethernet Service Unit 3-5
•Local-Remote mode loops the optical data that the Remote L357 receives on the Extension Port
Rx through the User PHY to the Extension Port Tx. The data is not sent out the remote User Port
Tx and incoming data on the remote User Port Rx is ignored. See Figure 6. To set this mode at
the Diagnostics screen, set the Loopback State for the Local module to Remote.
Figure 6. Local-Remote Loopback Mode
•Remote-Local mode loops the electrical data that the Remote L357 receives on the User Port Rx
through the FPGA to the User Port Tx. The data is not sent out the remote Extension Port Tx and
incoming data on the remote Extension Port Rx is ignored. See Figure 5. To set this mode, at the
Diagnostics screen, set the Loopback State for the Remote module to Local.
Figure 7. Remote-Local Loopback Mode
•Remote-Remote mode loops the optical data that the Local L357 receives on the Extension Port
Rx through the Local User PHY to the Extension Port Tx. The data is not sent out the local User
Port Tx and incoming data on the local User Port Rx is ignored. See Figure 6. To set this mode,
at the Diagnostics screen, set the Loopback State for the Remote module to Remote.
Figure 8. Remote-Remote Loopback Mode
For loopback, the L357 uses a unique MAC address that is listed on the Diagnostics screen as Loop
Test MAC Address; for details about using the software and accessing the Diagnostics screen, see
Chapter 4. In loopback mode, the L357 filters the incoming packets to identify the test packets
through the MAC address. You can set two diagnostics options if you want to alter the data during
loopback, Swap MAC Address at Loopback Point, which swaps the test MAC address with the
source MAC address, and Recalculate CRC at Loopback Point. The test packets are returned to the
source according to the selected mode.
