1 INTRODUCTION
This manual instructs the user in the use of the WCM1100 Managed Ethernet Extender
over E1, WCM3100 Managed Ethernet Extender over E3/DS-3, WCM-Serial Managed
Ethernet Extender over Serial Connections, LHM1000 Managed Ethernet Extender over
HSSI Connections and LVM2000 Managed Ethernet Extender over LVDS Connections.
This guide describes the functionality of Software Release 8.70.
Throughout this document, the term WCM will be used to describe generic functions,
whilst WCM1100, WCM3100, WCM-Serial, LHM1000 and LVM2000 will be used for
product specific areas.
The Metrodata WCM allows for the extension of an Ethernet Service over a Wide Area
Network Connection. The WCM is a managed unit allowing for the effective demarcation
between LAN and WAN services. Management of the WCM is achieved using either
Telnet or SNMP via either the LAN/SFP or WAN ports.
In cases where management is not required, or undesired, the WCM can operate
standalone, with simple configuration options provided using bit switches located on the
underside of the unit.
The Metrodata WCM is a managed, multi port Ethernet Switch with a WAN uplink. The
WCM provides two 10/100/1000BaseT Auto Negotiating, Auto Switching Ports as well as a
single SFP port supporting either 1000Base-X or 100Base-FX SFP modules. The WCM
operates as a layer 2 bridge and as such may be used to extend a LAN segment over a
WAN link.
The WCM has an internal LAN switch offering full wire-speed switching between ports.
The WCM uses MAC address filtering to filter all local traffic and only forward traffic
destined for remote stations. Each of the WCM’s LAN ports support automatic cross-over
switching and will therefore connect directly to a Hub/Switch/Router or PC End Station.
The WCM has support for both tagged and untagged frames, with both VLAN C-Tag, and
Provider Bridge S-Tag (Q-in-Q) modes supported.

The WCM supports either IP DSCP, or IEEE802.1p based traffic prioritisation with
outgoing traffic being queued in one of four priority queues.
The WCM supports link OAM, IEEE802.3ah and RSTP for loop prevention.
The WCM encapsulates the Ethernet traffic for transport across the WAN link. The WCM
supports HDLC in all cases, and for framed modes X.86 and GFP encapsulations are also
supported. Internal packet buffers enable the WCM to smooth out bursty traffic and
prevent packet loss as the higher layer protocols rate adapt to the WAN capacity.
The WCM1100 WAN port supports unframed E1, framed E1 (with or without CRC-4) or
fractional E1 (Nx64k) as well as T1 unframed/framed (D4/ESF) and fractional operating
modes.
The WCM3100 supports unframed or framed operation, supporting E3 G.832 or DS-3 C-
Bit Framing modes.
The WCM-Serial supports unframed operation only, and normally operates as a serial DTE
interface for connection to a carrier NTU. An optional DCE mode, allows for back to back
operation.
The LHM1000 supports unframed operation only, and normally operates as a DTE
interface for connection to a Satellite Modem. An internal oscillator allows for a back to
back test mode to be used with a cross over cable.
The LVM2000 supports unframed operation only, and normally operates as a DTE
interface for connection to a Satellite Modem. An internal oscillator allows for a back to
back test mode to be used with a cross over cable.

1.1 Product Rear Panels
The WCM device is a compact unit, as shown below, occupying half a shelf in a traditional
19inch rack. All power and data connectors and LED status indicators are accessible from
the rear of the unit.

1.2 Safety
The WCM must not be connected to cabling which would be required by BS6701 to
equipped with over voltage protection. The following ports on the WCM are designated
SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) within the scope of EN41003.
Terminal Port 9 Way D-Type
LAN Port(s) RJ45 10/100/1000BaseT
SFP
These ports must only be connected to SELV ports on other equipment in accordance with
EN60950 clause 2.3.
1.3 Electro Magnetic Compatibility
To ensure EMC compliance, all signal and data cables must be shielded and use
screened connector shells. The cable screens must be terminated to the screened
connector shell and not connected to any pins of the connector. Failure to use the correct
connectors may compromise EMC compliance.
1.3.1 EN55022 Statement
The WCM is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio
interference, in which case the user will be required to take adequate measures.
1.3.2 FCC Declaration
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of the Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the Installation and
Operation manual, may cause harmful interference to the radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
1.4 WEEE Directive
The WCM is covered by Directive 2002/96/EC (OJ:L37/24/2003) on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Units must therefore not be disposed of in standard landfill.

1.5 RoHS Compliance
The WCM is compliant with the EU RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC. The RoHS directive bans
the use of six hazardous materials in products placed on the market after July 1
st
2006.
The six banned materials are Lead, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated
Biphenyls, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers and Cadmium.
The WCM is manufactured using a lead-free soldering process and as such is fully RoHS
6/6 compliant.

2 INSTALLATION
2.1 WCM Rear Panel
The WCM is available with either AC Mains or DC power options.
2.1.1 Mains Power
The WCM has an internal power supply and is supplied via an IEC mains power socket.
The WCM operates over the wide range 100 to 250V AC and draws less than 6 watts.
2.1.2 DC Power
The WCM is available with an internal DC power supply with two variants available,
DC -48V (36 to 72V DC)
DC 24V (7 to 36V DC)
DC powered units have an external earth stud which must be securely connected to an
earth connection to ensure EMC compliance.

76-02-082 Rev N
19 of 169
2.1.3 Redundant DC Power
The WCM is optionally available with a dual input, 1+1 redundant DC (-48V) power supply
The redundant DC power supply operates of two
independent -48V supplies, which feed a pair of 1+1
redundant DC power modules inside the unit. This
option therefore provides resiliency in the event of both
external power feed failure, or of an individual power
module failure.
The internal DC power modules are polarity protected,
and internally fused.
Metrodata recommend the use of fork terminals, (not
supplied) for connection of power, as shown:
However, if necessary, the stripped and twisted ends
of the power wires may be inserted into the screw
terminals, as shown. Ensure no stray strands of bare
wire can touch either the unit casing, or the other
supply terminal.
The unit must be earthed using the external M4 Stud
and securing screws. EMC performance may be
degraded if a proper earth connection is not provided.

2.2 Base Label and Bit Switches
On the underside of the WCM unit there are bit switches which may be used to configure
certain functions within the unit. The bit switches are used to configure the default settings
following a cold start.
