G101 - 3U CompactPCI®Serial Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch
with Uplink
A flexible switch in a common modular format
The G101 is a managed 3U flexible multiport Gigabit Switch, with a 29 GBit/s Switch
matrix, implemented as a CompactPCI® Serial board. It occupies one system slot or one
peripheral slot using a 4 HP front panel with two Gigabit Ethernet ports on
RJ45 connectors and one 2.5 Gb SFP cage. Alternatively, the G101 can be supplied with
three M12 connectors on the front panel.
High speed, high efficiency and extensive protocols
The G101 guarantees high speed, high efficiency and a large software pool for various
protocols like security, time synchronicity, stability, as well as for temperature needs. The
switch supports EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) as a standard on all ports, IEEE1588v2 on
ports 1 to 12 and SyncE (synchronous Ethernet) as an option. Together with the new
backplane concept for MEN switches and routers, it allows high flexibility in network
applications and management.
Various connection possibilities due to various port options
The G101 either features three Ethernet ports on the front and up to 22 ports on the
rear, or alternatively all 25 ports on the rear. These include 12 ports with integrated 10/
100/1000 Mbit/s copper PHYs. In addition the G101 features a high performance port
with up to 2.5 Gbit/s for a SFP pluggable module to support a high speed uplink.
Increased reliability thanks to built-in test mechanisms
The switch is fault tolerant and restores itself on its own: If a link is temporarily
unavailable, frames can be sent via backup/redundant links (spanning tree protocol/link
aggregation) and no data loss occurs. Its built-in test mechanisms make the G101 an
even more reliable component in the communication system.
Rugged and compliant to railway standards
The railway Ethernet switch is specifically designed for rugged mobile communication
systems and fully compliant with the EN 50155 railway standard, qualified for a -40 to
+85°C operation temperature and ready for coating.

Product Safety
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Computer boards and components contain electrostatic sensitive devices.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. To protect the
board and other components against damage from static electricity, you
should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.
Power down and unplug your computer system when working on the
inside.
Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads,
or circuitry.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components.
Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came
with the component whenever the components are separated from the
system.
Only store the board in its original ESD-protected packaging. Retain the
original packaging in case you need to return the board to MEN for
repair.

1.2 Integrating the Board into a System
The G101 can be installed in the CompactPCI Serial system slot or any peripheral slot,
and will automatically detect the slot in which it is inserted.
The following check list can be used as a guide when installing the board in a system for
the first time, and with minimum configuration.
System Slot
The G101 can act as the switch for a CompactPCI Serial system when inserting it into the
system slot.
»Power down the system.
»Insert the G101 into the system slot of your CompactPCI Serial system, making sure
that the CompactPCI Serial connectors are properly aligned.
Note: The system slot of every CompactPCI Serial system is marked by a triangle on
the backplane and/or at the front panel. It also has red guide rails.
»Power up the system.
Peripheral Slot
»Power down the system.
»Insert the G101 into the system slot of your CompactPCI Serial system, making sure
that the CompactPCI Serial connectors are properly aligned.
Note: The peripheral slot of every CompactPCI Serial system is marked by a circle
with a plus sign behind it on the backplane and/or at the front panel.
»Power up the system.

2 Initial Configuration
2.1 Accessing the switch
Once the system has powered up, you can access the switch using its base address with
telnet, ssh, http, https or the service console interface.
The base address of the switch is configured to:
192.168.0.1, netmask 255.255.255.0
The switch is configured to act as DHCP server in the range:
192.168.0.100 - 255 at VLAN 1.
All ports will be opened after the system is started.
The RJ45 front ports have been configured to the rear connectors.
2.1.1 Web interface
The web interface provides an online help option for all configuration sheets which can
be accessed by clicking on the question mark in the top right corner of the screen:
Figure 3. Accessing the help option
2.1.2 Command line interface (CLI)
The CLI is accessible through telnet, ssh or the service console. It is generally compatible
to CISCO/HP CLIs. Help is provided by either using the "TAB" key, or adding a question
mark and the system will indicate the next possible commands.
The connection parameters for the serial virtual console interface are:
115.000 Bps,
8 Bits,
no parity,
no handshake,
1 stop bit
To contact the switch via the backplane interface, install the virtual
connector driver available from the FTDI Chip website.

2.2 Quick Start Guide
The quick start guide is intended to get the user through the initial start-up of the switch
firmware and includes:
Login and reset the configuration to factory default
Setting a device hostname and admin user password
Setting the VLAN 1 IP address
Verifying the connectivity using 'ping'
Displaying the current configuration and saving to FLASH storage
The G101 switch must powered on have a functional computer connection using the
serial console port on the device (115200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow
control).
The computer must be running a terminal emulator such as TeraTerm or
PuTTY on Windows, or Minicom on Linux.
