Introduction
FRM220-CCF40 models are 4-channel contact closure fiber converters
that can provide transmission of contact closure via fiber optic link. With
SFP socket, FRM220-CCF40 provides SFP-LC connector that enables
multi-mode, single-mode or bi-directional transmission using only a single
fiber cable.
The contact closure module has four relay inputs and outputs. Outputs
are normally open relays. The relay output follows the relay inputs at the
remote end. When the remote relay input is shorted, the local relay output is
closed. The front panel provides LED indicators that offer real-time
information of input and output status. Applications include alarm event
triggering, building automation, environmental control systems, fire & alarm
systems, gate control, traffic signal control equipment, and more.
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
FRM220-CCF40 has an embedded processor which can be used to
configure the device for stand-alone operation. When placed in a stand-
alone chassis with DB9 console port, these devices 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 local console or
remote Telnet, Web HTTP or SNMP.
1. Stand-alone - with serial console, menu driven
2. Rack management - When placed in NMC managed rack, all other
settings are overridden by the NMC management.

Chassis Installation
The contact closure media converter units can be placed in CH01M 1-slot
with console, CH02M 2-slot with console, CH02-NMC 2-slot with NMC or
the full CH08 or CH20 chassis.
Follow all ESD precautions when handling the card and SFP modules.
About SFP & SFP Installation
FRM220-CCF40 accepts any SFP units that comply 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 SFP and patch cables only when ready to plug in
optical cables.
Installation
CTC Union supplied SFP modules are of the Bale Clasp type. The bale
clasp pluggable module has a bale clasp that secures the module into the
SFP cage.
Inserting a Bale Clasp SFP Module into the cage
Step 1. Close the bale clasp upward before inserting the pluggable
module.
Step 2. Line up the SFP module with the port, and slide it into the
cage.
Removing a Bale Clasp SFP Module

Console Management
When placed in the 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 your operating system is Vista or Win7.
Settings:
Baud Rate: 38,400
Data bits: 8
Parity bits: none
Stop bits: 1
Handshaking: none
Emulation: VT-100
Default username/password: admin/admin
Connect the serial cable to the chassis' DB9. Run the terminal emulation
program. About 3 seconds after being powered on, the FRM220-CCF40 will
display the login menu as shown in the following example.
Example of Login Menu Console Screen
NOTE: All settings done by console menu are ignored if the card is
placed in the chassis (such as FRM220-CH20) with NMC/SNMP
management. The card will follow the settings done via the chassis
management. (Refer to NMC Operation Manual for details on managing
all cards.)

<2> ALS: Enable or disable ALS function. Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS)
is a technique used to automatically shut down the output power of the
transmitter in case of fiber break according to ITU-T G.664. This is a safety
feature that prevents dangerous levels of laser light from leaking out of a
broken fiber, provided ALS is provisioned on both ends of the fiber pair. The
sequence of events is as follows. If a fiber is cut, the receiver will detect a
Loss Of Signal (LOS). The ALS agent will turn off the transmitter. The
receiver at the far end will then detect an LOS and its ALS agent will turn off
the transmitter. In this way the entire fiber will go dark.

Upgrading
Stand-alone Firmware Upgrading via Xmodem
The FRM220-CCF40 card may be firmware upgraded using XMODEM
when placed in the chassis such as CH02M. The user may use serial
terminal such as a notebook computer that has an RS232 port or via a
commonly available USB to RS232 adapter. Then, use a serial terminal that
can support XMODEM such as TeraTerm to start Firmware upgrade
process.
Quick Procedure
1. In the Main Menu, Key in “U”to enter Firmware upgrade page. Then,
Key in “1”to start uploading Firmware.

Firmware Upgrading via NMC Card
The FRM220-CCF40 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 TTL 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 (FRM220-CCF40) 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.
