Introduction
The FRM220-10G is a 3R optical regeneration device with clock data
recovery (CDR). The "3R" consists of Re-amplification, Re-shaping and Re-
timing. The transponder card converts a data signal to the correct
wavelength for transmission on a specific channel by supporting XFP,
and/or SFP+ optics on both line side and client side interfaces. When the
FRM220-10G card is placed in the FRM220 rack with SNMP management,
the management can view the converter card's status, type, version, fiber
link status and alarms. The card can be configured to enable or disable the
port, reset the port, provide client or line side diagnostic loopback, and set
the desired data rate.
This card is specifically designed for four popular protocols that run at
near ten gigabit speed. They include 10G Ethernet, 10G Fiber Channel,
OC-192(STM-64) and OTU2.
The XFP and/or SFP+ sockets support a wide range of optical modules to
address any 10 Gigabit network situation.

WARNING: Fiber optic equipment may emit laser or infrared light that can
injure your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port. Always
assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a laser light source.

Management Features
The FRM220-10G has an on-board 8 pole DIP Switch which can be used
to configure the device for stand-alone operation. When placed in a stand-
alone chassis, these devices also support a text based serial terminal with
an easy to use menu system for configuration. When placed in a managed
chassis, the card is configured and monitored through the chassis NMC
(network management controller) via console, Telnet, Web HTTP or SNMP.
1. Stand-alone - Simple DIP settings, "set and forget"
2. Stand-alone - with serial console, menu driven, overrides DIP settings
3. Rack management - When placed in NMC managed rack, all other
settings are overridden by the NMC management.

Loop back Testing (LBT):
The loop back capability of the FRM220-10G is useful for debugging a
dysfunctional link, or when commissioning a site. In loopback mode, the
signal is routed into the CDR circuitry and then routed back to the signal
source. Loop back may be enabled via DIP switch selection or management
terminal console. When placed in a managed FRM220-CH20 chassis, the
loop back can be controlled by the NMC manager in FRM220 chassis.
10G Fiber Loop Back
Loop Back Switch
The FRM220-10G model features a front panel mounted 2-pole DIP
switch. This switch enables loop back for either line or client fibers. The
upper switch, when turned on, enables the Line side fiber loop back. The
lower switch, when turned on, enables the Client side fiber loop back. The
loop back function can also be enabled by using a serial terminal connected
to the 9 pin D-Sub on the CH02M, via the terminal menu system. If placed
in FRM220-CH20 with NMC/SNMP, the chassis management system can
access the card and perform all setting functions. (The front panel switches
will be ignored and overridden by NMC manager.)

Applications
The FRM220-10G 3R repeater works in point-to-point applications, either
as a stand-alone or when placed in the FRM220-CH20 managed rack.
Extension Repeater
Set local and remote 3R repeater to the protocol's data rate either by local
DIP or through management. The rate setting is the only setting required.
For normal operation, ensure that the Loop Back switches are both in the
OFF position.
Multiple Repeaters
Set all 3R repeaters to the protocol's data rate either by local DIP or
through management. The rate setting is the only setting required.
For normal operation, ensure that the Loop Back switches are both in the
OFF position.
Since the FRM220-10G 3R transponder has a clock recovery device, it is
able to repeat indefinitely and still maintain data integrity.

CWDM Transponder
The FRM220-10G functions primarily as a repeater or a media converter.
As a repeater for long-haul applications, the signal is fully regenerated at
the trunk. Clock Data Recovery (CDR) helps in reshaping, retiming, and
regenerating (3R) the output signal at a number of pre-assigned
frequencies or protocols.
In the CWDM/DWDM application, the 3R transponder acts as a fiber-to-
fiber repeater and optical frequency converter between the client side
equipment and the Optical Multiplexer/De-multiplexer.
Set the transponder to the protocol's data rate either by local DIP or
through management. The rate setting is the only setting required.

Console Management
When placed in the 2-slot CH02M chassis, this card can be locally
managed by connecting a simple serial terminal such as a notebook
computer that has an RS232 port or via a commonly available USB to
RS232 adapter. In Windows XP, HyperTerminal™ is an application
available for emulating a serial terminal. You can also search for TeraTerm
or PuTTY which are free alternatives, especially if the operating system is
Vista or Win7.

Modern optical SFP transceivers support digital diagnostics monitoring
(DDM) functions according to the industry-standard SFF-8472. This feature
is also known as digital optical monitoring (DOM) and gives the end user
the ability to monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical
output power, optical input power, temperature, etc.
Example of reading Digital Diagnostics in XFP
Parameters are read from any MSA (Multisource Agreement) compliant
XFP/SFP+ module. Extended information is only available in modules which
support D/D or DOM function.

Upgrading
The FRM220-10G card may be firmware upgraded when it is placed in
the FRM220 with NMC management card. The user may use a local
console connection to the NMC, a remote Telnet (IP) connection, or a Web
based (HTTP) connection with any available browser. The NMC
communicates to all cards through a serial RS485 control bus. The upgrade
code is transferred to the NMC by way of TFTP server.
Quick Procedure
Place the line card's upgrade code on the TFTP server. Make sure you
know the case sensitive file name. Connect to the FRM220-NMC by local
console or by remote Telnet connection. From the main menu choose:
<L> SNMP System Configuration Setup
Then:
<U> Upgrade Line Card Menu
Select the line card type (3R-10G) and local unit. Enter filename.
The upgrade should complete in only a couple of minutes. DO NOT
disconnect or pullout/insert any other cards during the upgrade process.

About XFP/SFP+ Units
The FRM220-10G accepts any XFP or SFP+ unit that complies with the
MSA standard. Follow all ESD precautions when handling the card and
pluggable modules. Fiber optic components and cables are very sensitive to
dirt, dust and mishandling, especially in high-speed networks. Dirty or
mistreated fiber may cause errors and an unwanted degradation of signal
quality. Remove the dust caps on XFP/SFP+ only when ready to plug in
optical cables.
When selecting XFP/SFP+ optical modules, make sure the modules are
able to support the required data rates. A 10G XFP/SFP+ should be able to
support 10G Ethernet, OC-192/STM-64 or 10G Fiber Channel.
Installation
CTC Union supplied XFP/SFP+ modules are of the Bale Clasp type. The
bale clasp pluggable module has a bale clasp that secures the module into
the XFP/SFP+ cage.
•Inserting a Bale Clasp XFP/SFP+ Module into the cage
Step 1 Close the bale clasp upward before inserting the pluggable
module.
Step 2 Line up the XFP/SFP+ module with the port, and slide it into the
cage.
•Removing a Bale Clasp XFP/SFP+ Module
Step 1 Open the bale clasp on the XFP/SFP+ module. Press the clasp
downward with your index finger.
Step 2 Grasp the XFP/SFP+ module between your thumb and index
finger and carefully remove it from the XFP/SFP+ cage.
