2 Safety Instructions for hot pluggable Modules
Check before every maintenance work on the system:
•If a data backup is required?
•Is a backup required, verify the data recovery which is done by this backup.
•Make sure to avoid any static discharge while working - use a grounding cable and/or antistatic gloves
during installation and removal of hot pluggable components.
•If you are replacing a hot pluggable power supply, unplug the power cable prior to removing the module
from the case.
•Never open a power supply. In power supplies dangerous voltages can still remain even after disconnection
from the power supply. Always send power supplies back to the manufacturer for maintenance.
Exchange of hot-swap components
•Ensure that components which will be replaced during operation, always be treated with the utmost care.
Avoid contact with live components.
•Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. For this reason, ensure protection against
electrostatic discharges by wearing anti-static shoes while working with the system.
•Take care when removing and installing the hot-plug modules. Always work with the utmost caution.
Touch the modules only at the edges.
•Place the module out of the box or after removal from the system with the component side to the top on
a grounded and static-free surface.
•Storage of an IMS module must be done in a dry place.
•Installation or removal from hot-swap components only by authorized personnel!

3 Replacement or Installation of a Hot-pluggable IMS Module
3 Replacement or Installation of a Hot-pluggable
IMS Module
If the system is supplied with an antenna and antenna cable, it is advisable to first mount the antenna in a
suitable location (see chapter Antenna Mounting) and lay the antenna cable.
Please use a Torx screwdriver (T8 x 60) for removal and installation of the module.
1. Follow the safety instructions at the beginning
of this manual!
1. Remove the two marked Torx screws from the
module holder plate or the cover plate of
the empty slot.
2. (Only for an already built-in module)
Pull the module carefully out of the holding
rail. Note that the module is firmly anchored
in the connector block of the housing. You need
a certain amount of force to release the module
from this link. Once the connection to the
connector block of the system’s backplane is
loosened, the module can be easily pulled out.
3. When installing the new IMS module, please ensure that the board is correctly inserted into the
two guide rails of the system housing. Non-observance can cause damage to the module and the chassis.
Make sure that the module is securely locked into the connector block before you fasten the two screws.
4. Now you can put the installed module into operation.

3.1 Important Hints for hot-pluggable IMS Modules
The following points should be strictly observed when replacing IMS modules during operation. Not all IMS
modules are fully hot-pluggable. Of course, it is not possible to replace a power supply unit of a non-redundant
system without first having installed a second power source in operational mode.
The following applies to the individual IMS slots:
PWR: "hot swappable" If you operate your system with only one
power supply, a second power supply must
be installed before removing/replacing it
to keep your system functioning.
I/O, ESI and MRI Slots: "hot swappable".
CLK1, CLK2: "hot swappable" Afer the exchange or the installation of a
clock module a rescan of the reference clocks
(Rescan Refclocks) must be executed in the web
interface menu "System".
CPU not "hot swappable" The central management unit must be disconnected
from mains before replacement.
RSC/SPT not "hot swappable" The RSC switching card must be disconnected
from the mains before the replacement.

LAN interface alignment with several LNE modules in operation:
Basically, the physical network ports are assigned according to the MAC address order. Thus, the uppermost
interface on a LNE module has the lowest and the bottommost interface has the highest MAC address, respec-
tively. Let´s take an example where three LNE modules are inserted in a device. Then the logical order of
network interfaces assigned in a webinterface follows the MAC address order of LNE modules, disregarding the
I/O slot order by which the modules are inserted.
In a factory assembling, LNE modules are sorted in an ascending order starting from left to right (see the
corresponding figure above). LAN 0 is therefore always the first network interface of the LAN-CPU.

4.1 LNE-GBE Configuration via the Web Interface
If the LNE-GBE operates in an LANTIME system, all network settings can be configured via the web interface
then.
Physical Network Configuration
Net Link Mode: The network interfaces LAN1 - LAN4 (LNE-GBE)
can be used in 1000 MBIT HALF / FULL duplex mode.
Indicate Link: LED indication for the selected physical interface,
only if a front display with function keys is available.
Bonding: to optimize the reliability and the use of a of higher bandwith.
PRP: As of LANTIME firmware version 7.0, PRP can also be conveniently set
via the web interface menu "Network →Physical Network Configuration".
Select the same PRP group for at least two interfaces in the drop-down
menu "Bonding".
IPv6 Mode: This mode must be activated here.
MAC-Address: Displays the unique MAC address of the physical interface.
Assigned Virtual
Interfaces: In the Ethernet Interfaces menu (see below)
virtual network interfaces can be added.
IMS-LNE-GBE-SFP Setup Guide Date: 26th February 2020 9

Menu Interfaces
IPv4: Manually adjustment of all important parameters such as TCP / IP address,
subnet mask and gateway. The DHCP client can also be activated here for
automatic network configurations.
Misc: With the tab Misc the virtual interface can be assigned to a physical interface.
VLAN: With VLAN, this function can be enabled and configured.
Cluster: The cluster function can be activated with this submenu and additional Parameters
such as multicast or unicast mode, TCP / IP address and subnet mask can be set up here.

4.2 Adding / Removing an LANTIME Network Extension LNE
An LNE module can be installed in each MRI/ESI or IO Slot of a LANTIME IMS device.
Adding a LANTIME Network Extension
After installing the LNE module, please start the web interface. In the menu "System →Services and Functions"
press the button NIC Manager then . With this function you add all new physical network interfaces to the
system’s network configuration. Now it is ensured that the IMS module is correctly installed and recognized
by the system.
Remove a LANTIME Network Extension LNE
To remove a LNE network extension from the LANTIME system, the card must first be removed. However,
the removed LNE interfaces are still listed in the network configuration. The "NIC Manager" can be used to
update the network configuration in this case as well.
After successfully running the "NIC Manager", only the actually existing interfaces are displayed in the web
interface. A system restart is not necessary.
