Cautions and Warnings
Definitions
Cautions indicate that there is the possibility of poor equipment performance or potential damage to
the equipment. Warnings indicate that there is the possibility of injury to person.
Cautions and Warnings appear here and may appear throughout this manual where appropriate. Failure
to read and understand the information identified by this symbol could result in poor equipment
performance, damage to the equipment, or injury to persons.
Cautions
Do not ship or store devices near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or radioactive fields.
Caution: When handling chassis Network Interface Devices (NIDs) observe electrostatic discharge precautions. This
requires proper grounding (i.e., wear a wrist strap).
Caution: Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video
Coax, etc., are intended to be connected to intra-building (inside plant) link segments that are not subject to
lightening transients or power faults. They are not to be connected to inter-building (outside plant) link segments
that are subject to lightening.
Caution: Do not install the NIDs in areas where strong electromagnetic fields (EMF) exist. Failure to observe this
caution could result in poor NID performance.
Caution: Read the installation instructions before connecting the chassis to a power source. Failure to observe this
caution could result in poor performance or damage to the equipment.
Caution: Only trained and qualified personnel should install or perform maintenance on the x6010. Failure to
observe this caution could result in poor performance or damage to the equipment.
Caution: Do not let optical fibers come into physical contact with any bare part of the body since they are fragile,
and difficult to detect and remove from the body.

33493 Rev. E https://www.transition.com/ Page 4 of 299
Caution: Do not bend any part of an optical fiber/cable to a diameter that is smaller than the minimum permitted
according to the manufacturer’s specification (usually about 65 mm or 2.5 in)!
Warnings
Warning: Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning: Visible and invisible laser radiation when open. Do not look into the beam or view the beam directly with
optical instruments. Failure to observe this warning could result in an eye injury or blindness.
Warning: DO NOT connect the power supply module to external power before installing it into the chassis. Failure
to observe this warning could result in an electrical shock or death.
Warning: Select mounting bracket locations on the chassis that will keep the chassis balanced when mounted in
the rack. Failure to observe this warning could allow the chassis to fall, resulting in equipment damage and/or
possible injury to persons.
Warning: Do not work on the chassis, connect, or disconnect cables during a storm with lightning. Failure to observe this
warning could result in an electrical shock or death.
See Appendix A on page 247 for Electrical Safety Warnings translated into multiple languages.

Section 1: Introduction
Document Overview
This manual provides the user with an understanding of the Transition Networks (TN) x6010 Network
Interface Device (NID).
Product Overview
The ION T1/E1 model x6010 is a copper-to-fiber NID with remote management that provides a solution
to extend T1 or E1 circuits over fiber, and remotely manage them in-band from admin locations.
The x6010 NIDs are designed as either a standalone module (S6010) or a slide-in module (C6010) that is
installed in an ION system chassis. In either configuration, these devices are designed to convert the
copper ports on T1/E1 devices, such as a PBX or T1/E1 router, to multimode or single mode fiber with
advanced services and functions.
The x6010 supports Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers to support a variety of fiber types, distances
and wavelengths to provide maximum flexibility across a variety of network topologies. The use of
Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs can be utilized to further increase the bandwidth
capacity of the fiber infrastructure. The T1/E1NID must be used in pairs. A typical installation includes a
chassis card (C6010) installed in a local ION chassis and a stand-alone device (S6010) installed at a
remote location.
Features
The x6010 provides the following services and functions.
•Converts copper ports on T1/E1 devices, such as a PBX or T1/E1 router, to multimode or single
mode fiber
•Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) LED
•Can be used with fractional T1/E1 circuits
•Firmware upgrade
•Remote management
•Local or Remote Loopbacks on copper or fiber port
•Switch-selectable RJ-48 connectors for T1 or E1
•Jitter attenuators optimize Bit Error Rate performance
•Network debug procedures make BER testing more convenient
•Built-in troubleshooting with selectable TAOS (Transmit All Ones): a switch on the fiber and
copper interfaces allows testing of all T1/E1 equipment on that network segment to ensure the
network links

Transition Networks ION x6010 User Guide
33493 Rev. E https://www.transition.com/ Page 11 of 299

ing/clearing AIS detection complies with ITU G.775 or ETSI 300233, as selected.
The x6010 complies with the following IETF RFCs:
•HTTP protocol: IETF RFC 2616
•SNMP protocol: IETF RFC 1157, RFC 1158, and RFC 2578
•TFTP protocol: IETF RFC 1350
Feature Descriptions
The x6010 features are described in the following sub-sections.
AIS (Alarm Indication Signal)
The x6010 provides AIS (Alarm Indication Signal) support.
When the x6010 detects a signal lost or framing lost on one port’s receiving direction, it will send out an
Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) through another port to alert the receiving end that a segment of the end-
to-end link has failed at a logical or physical level.
The x6010 will generate the AIS by transmitting all ones (TAOS).
You can enable or disable AIS transmit on each x6010 port via the Web interface, FocalPoint (FP), and
the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Figure 2: Typical AIS Application

Transition Networks ION x6010 User Guide
33493 Rev. E https://www.transition.com/ Page 13 of 299
The AIS transmit function can be enabled or disabled on each port (Copper Port and Fiber Port) by set-
ting TAOS to Enable or Disable. If the AIS transmit function is enabled on one port and signal lost is de-
tected, the x6010 will transmit all ones to the receiving end device; if the AIS function is disabled, no ac-
tion will be performed.
If the x6010 receives an AIS signal (All Ones frame) from one port, the LED (SDC/SDF- Signal Detect on
Copper/Fiber) displays as yellow to indicate AIS is detected on that port (see “LED Descriptions” on page
29). The x6010 software transmits an AIS detect trap at the same time (see the “SNMP MIBs”section on
page 21 for trap descriptions).
If Media Converter A in Figure 2 above detects a signal lost on a copper port and the AIS function is ena-
bled (TAOS is enabled) on that port, Media Converter A will Transmit All Ones to Media Converter B
through the fiber link. Media Converter B’s SDF LED will display as yellow to indicate an AIS signal is de-
tected on the fiber port. The AIS signal will then be transmitted to End Device B.
In T1 mode, the criteria for declaring/clearing AIS detection are in compliance with the ANSI T1.231.
In E1 mode, the criteria for declaring/clearing AIS detection comply with the ITU G.775 or the ETSI
300233, as selected.
Loopback Test
The x6010 provides Loopback (LB) test support with three different loopback configurations: copper
loopback, fiber loopback, and inband loopback.
The Loopback feature puts the x6010 in a mode that lets it loop back the signal from the RX port to the
TX port on either media for testing and troubleshooting purposes. You can enable or disable the
Loopback function on an x6010 copper port or fiber port via the Web interface, FocalPoint (FP), and the
Command Line Interface (CLI).
Test signals from a test device (e.g., Fireberd, etc.) can then be inserted into the link and looped back
and received by a device to test a particular segment of the link (i.e., copper or fiber).

Figure 3: Loopback on copper and fiber port of Media Converter A
If the Loopback function is enabled on the copper port of Media Converter A, End Device A is the tester;
the test signal is inserted into the copper RX of Media Converter A and then looped back and received
by the copper TX of Media Converter A.

Transition Networks ION x6010 User Guide
33493 Rev. E https://www.transition.com/ Page 14 of 299
If the Loopback function is enabled on the Fiber port of Media Converter A, End Device B is the tester;
the test signal will be inserted into the Fiber RX of Media Converter A through Media Converter B and be
looped back at Fiber port of Media Converter A and received by End Device B via Media Converter B.
The x6010 Loopback function cannot be enabled on both copper and fiber ports at the same time; an
error message displays if attempted.
A typical x6010 Fiber port Loopback applications is shown below.

A typical x6010 Copper port Loopback applications is shown below.
Figure 5: Typical Loopback function on a Copper port
LOS (Loss of Signal) Detection
The x6010 Loss of Signal (LOS) detector monitors the amplitude of the incoming signal level and pulse
density of the received TIP/RING signals. A LOS condition is detected when the incoming signal has “no
transitions”. The LOS condition is cleared when the incoming signal has “transitions”. In addition, the
x6010 application software may get the LOS status via interface with the FPGA. LOS detection is pro-
vided on the x6010 coax, fiber and copper interfaces as link down and link up traps and show com-
mands.
In-band Fiber Loopback Code Detection
This function enables detection and loopback of the fiber interface based on NIU Facility 2 (FAC2) loop-
back codes. Certain test devices (e.g., T-BERD 2310) can send in-band loopback codes to the local copper
(TP) interface, which are then transmitted to the remote device via the fiber. The remote device can de-
tect and react to this and activate and de-activate the loopback codes. For detection, these codes must
be sent for at least 5 seconds.

Transition Networks ION x6010 User Guide
33493 Rev. E https://www.transition.com/ Page 15 of 299
The Inband Fiber Loopback Code Detector can track loopback activate/deactivate codes in a framed or
unframed T1 data stream. The received data stream is compared with the target activate/deactivate
code whose length and the content are pre-defined. When the received data stream matches the target
activate/deactivate code and repeats for 4 seconds, this register field indicates the detection of the in-
band loopback code.

Remote Management
Remote Management over fiber allows access to the remote device to obtain status, actively configure
remote device features, and perform remote device firmware upgrades.
A typical remote management scenario is shown below.
Figure 6: Typical Remote Management Application
In the figure above, devices from Customer A to Customer E can all be remotely managed via the TN
Chassis.
A remote S6010 device is connected with local C6010 device through the fiber link, with a specific
channel on the fiber link reserved and used for the management traffic. This management channel is in-
dependent of the TDM payload channels; the management channel and TDM payload channels will not
impact each other.
The x6010 Remote Management (RM) protocol lets applications exchange management traffic between
local C6010 and remote S6010 devices. The RM protocol provides the interaction protocol for Packet
Handling, BC Packet TX/RX and Remote Packet TX/RX. The RM protocol provides transparent packet for-
warding on the C6x10 and packet TX/RX redirection on the S6x10, eliminating the differences
between the C6x10 and S6x10 for the IONMM and its upper layer applications.
Note that the current ION platform supports up to one level of x6010 device remote management.
Version 1.2.6 of the x6010 Series supports the management of a C6010 when installed in an unmanaged
ION chassis. Management is supported by another C6010 installed in a managed chassis when the two
are linked together via a fiber cable. Version 1.2.6 also supports remote firmware upgrades of a C6010 in
an unmanaged chassis. See the Release Notes for known Feature limitations.

All management traffic between the IONMM and the remote S6010 are relayed and forwarded through
the local C6010. Traffic between the IONMM and C6010 is exchanged on the ION chassis’ backplane
Ethernet bus (BPC), while traffic between the local C6010 and remote S6010 is exchanged on the specific
management channel (see figure below) .

Figure 7: x6010 Remote Management Topology
Remote devices are detected by the IONMM through the internal LLDP protocol. Each time a remote de-
vice is powered up, it periodically sends out an LLDP packet to notify the IONMM that it is up.
When the IONMM receives such LLDP packets, it updates the entire ION topology based on the infor-
mation carried in the LLDP packet.

Firmware Upgrade
The x6010 can be upgraded via an IONMM installed in an ION chassis. You can select the target NID via
the Web interface / Focal Point / CLI and start the firmware upgrade operation. After the x6010 finishes
upgrading, it will reboot itself to load the new firmware. The upgrades do not require reconfiguration of
the SNMP management or converter feature settings.
The x6010 has two parts that need to be upgraded; one is the device firmware (AVR) and the other is
the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) firmware. For simplicity, these two parts are combined into
one firmware file and upgraded in one step, transparently.
You can upgrade the x6010 to a specific revision via the IONMM, which means the x6010 can be up-
graded to a newer revision firmware or can be downgraded to an older revision firmware. (Attempting
to upgrade to the existing revision firmware version is not actually performed, and a message displays
indicating this.)
Certain conditions will cause the firmware upgrade to fail:
•The communication path between x6010 and IONMM is corrupted, causing an upgrade protocol
timeout,
•No valid firmware file stored in the IONMM (e.g., no specified x6010 firmware revision, or a cor-
rupted firmware file).
•The firmware revision is the same.
•Programming the internal Flash fails.
If the x6010 bootloader cannot detect valid firmware installed after device is powered up or rebooted, it
enters upgrade mode automatically to request valid firmware from the IONMM. When the x6010 fin-
ishes upgrading successfully, it reboots itself and the bootloader checks the firmware again. If it passes,
the x6010 loads the new firmware and enters normal operating mode. Otherwise, the x6010 returns to
Upgrade mode. Note: Only the x6010 in the process of being upgraded will have its FPGA forced into
factory mode. The FPGA mode of the connected x6010 remains in application mode. A C6010 can only
upgrade a remote S6010 with the same version number.
The three methods of firmware upgrades are:
•Web interface
•Focal Point
•CLI command
A remotely-managed x6010 can be upgraded remotely as mentioned above. Note that the current ION
platform supports up to one level of x6010 device remote management.

Management Access Methods
Management of the x6010 is accomplished through one of the following methods.
• Universal Serial Bus (USB) –uses a command line interface (CLI) to access and control the x6010
through a locally connected workstation.
• Telnet session –uses the CLI to access and control the x6010 through the network.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) –both public and private Management
Information Bases (MIBs) allowing for a user to easily integrate and manage the ION platform
with an SNMP based network management system (NMS).
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)
The TFTP client provides uploading and downloading of files out of the device’s file system. Typical
applications for this protocol on this device include backup of configuration, restore known
configuration from a file, firmware image upgrade/downgrade, log files backup, certificate download for
SSL applications etc.
