1Product versions
There are two different hardware versions of the ETH-100 card which are referred to as
“Version 1” and “Version 2” in this manual. The figures below show how to distinguish the
two versions from each other. The only difference is the DIP switch row, which is
implemented on Version 2, this described in chapter 7.3.

2Product overview
The Flashlink ETH100 is a 10Base-T/100BaseTX to fibre converter module in the Network
Flashlink family. The module converts a standard 10 or 100 Mbit/s Ethernet signal on copper
to fibre suitable for long haul applications. The module has two electrical Ethernet ports. The
ports are independent of each other, and can be used for 10 or 100Mbit/s Ethernet. Both
ports can be used simultaneously. The fibre link is always 100Mbit/s, and can be used in one
or two fibre installations, or occupy two wavelengths in a WDM, CWDM or DWDM
installation.
For DWDM applications the module has an electrical output which can be connected to a
standard DWDM E/O converter (e.g. SDI-EO-D15xx.xx) together with the optical input. The
module is designed to replace a receiver card in a standard DWDM frame, giving the system
designers flexibility in customising their systems.

5Switch operation
The ETH100 contains a complete non blocking 3 port Ethernet switch. One port is the fibre
port; the two other ports are the electrical ports. The fibre port is always running in 100
Mbit/s full duplex operation, the two electrical ports can run in 10 or 100Mbit/s, full or half
duplex. The switch incorporates a high performance MAC address lookup engine, which
learns which devices are connected to each port, and minimises traffic on each port.
The switch learns what port an end station is connected to, by remembering each packet
source address (MAC address) and what port the packet came from. Once a MAC address to
port mapping is learnt, all other packets to that MAC address are directed to the correct port
only. If a packet is sent to a new (currently unlearnt) address, the packet will be transmitted
to all ports except the one that the packet came from. This insures the packet will be
received by the correct end station (if it exists), and when the end station responds back, its
address will be learnt by the switch for the next series of packets. The switch will learn up to
4096 MAC addresses. An address mapping will be removed after 10 minutes without packet
traffic from that node.
Important: If you move an end station (e.g. a PC or a router) from one port to
another, you might have to wait for up to 10 minutes before the switch
recognises that the node has moved, and all traffic to that node will be sent to
the wrong port. As soon as the moved end station sends out a packet, the switch
will detect that the node has moved, and the address/port mapping is updated,
and the traffic will continue as before.

6Connector module
The ETH100 has a dedicated connector module: ETH100-C1. This module is mounted at the
rear of the sub-rack.
6.1 Mounting the connector module
The details of how the connector module is mounted, is found in the user manual for the
Flashlink frame FR-2RU-10-2.

7.2 Indicators for electrical Ethernet ports
The status of the electrical Ethernet ports is indicated with 6 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), 3
for each electrical port. The LEDs are located in the upper left corner of the ETH100 board,
so you have to remove the front cover of the sub rack to inspect them.
The LEDs are labelled E1 and E2 for electrical port #1 and electrical port #2.

8Laser safety precautions
These are guidelines to limit hazards from laser exposure.
All the available EO (including ETH100) units in the Flashlink range include a laser.
Therefore this note on laser safety should be read thoroughly.
The lasers emit light at wavelengths from 1270nm up to 1610nm. This means that the
human eye cannot see the beam, and the blink reflex cannot protect the eye. (The human
eye can see light between 400 nm to 700 nm).
A laser beam can be harmful to the human eye (depending on laser power and exposure
time). Therefore:
BE CAREFUL WHEN CONNECTING / DISCONNECTING FIBRE PIGTAILS (ENDS).
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE PIGTAIL OF THE LASER/FIBRE.
NEVER USE MICROSCOPES, MAGNIFYING GLASSES OR EYE LOUPES TO LOOK
INTO A FIBRE END.
USE LASER SAFETY GOGGLES BLOCKING LIGHT AT 1310 nm AND AT 1550 nm
Instruments exist to verify light output power: Power meters, IR-cards etc.
Flashlink features:
All the laser module cards in the Flashlink product range, are Class 1 laser products according
to IEC 825-1 1993, and class I according to 21 CFR 1040.10 when used in normal operation.
More details can be found in the user manual for the FR-2RU-10-2 frame.
Maximum output power1: 5 mW
Operating wavelengths: > 1270 nm

Environmentally-friendly use period
The manual must include a statement of the “environmentally friendly use period”. This is
defined as the period of normal use before any hazardous material is released to the
environment. The guidance on how the EFUP is to be calculated is not finalised at the time
of writing. See
http://www.aeanet.org/GovernmentAffairs/qfLeOpAaZXaMxqGjSFbEidSdPNtpT.pdf for an
unofficial translation of the draft guidance. For our own products, Network Electronics has
chosen to use the 50 year figure recommended in this draft regulation.
Network Electronics suggests the following statement on An “Environmentally Friendly Use
Period” (EFUP) setting out normal use:
EFUP is the time the product can be used in normal service life without leaking the hazardous materials.
We expect the normal use environment to be in an equipment room at controlled temperature range
(0ºC - 40ºC) with moderate humidity (< 90%, non-condensing) and clean air, not subject to vibration
or shock.
Further, a statement on any hazardous material content, for instance, for a product that uses
some tin/lead solders:
Where a product contains potentially hazardous materials, this is indicated on the product by the
appropriate symbol containing the EFUP. The hazardous material content is limited to lead (Pb) in
some solders. This is extremely stable in normal use and the EFUP is taken as 50 years, by comparison
with the EFUP given for Digital Exchange/Switching Platform in equipment in Appendix A of “General
Rule of Environment-Friendly Use Period of Electronic Information Products”. This is indicated by the
product marking:
50
It is assumed that while the product is in normal use, any batteries associated with real-time clocks or
battery-backed RAM will be replaced at the regular intervals.
The EFUP relates only to the environmental impact of the product in normal use, it does not imply that the
product will continue to be supported for 50 years.
