1.0 Introduction
Thank you for choosing the iAccess Platform Fiber Media Converter Rack. If you would like to skip right to the
provisioning of the Network Management Controller, proceed to Chapter 2.
This manual is used to explain the configuration of the FRM220-NMC (Network Management Controller) and
operating procedures. This manual is divided into 4 Sections, the Introduction, Provisioning, Web Based
Management and Trouble Shooting, plus the Appendices. The Appendices include the details for each card, pin
assignments of special cables and gives further information on options for placing the device in service.
The divisions of the manual are intended for use by personnel to answer questions in general areas. Planners
and potential purchasers may read the Introduction to determine the suitability of the product to its intended use;
Installers should read the FRM220 Hardware Installation Manual and the Cabling Specification Appendix in this
manual; Operating Personnel would use the Provisioning and Web Based Management Chapters and Appendices
to become familiar with the various media converter cards and settings. Network Administrators should read the
chapters on Provisioning, Web Based Management and Trouble Shooting to become familiar with the diagnostic
capabilities, network settings and management strategies for the SNMP managed chassis with NMC.
1.1 Brief Functional Description
The FRM220-CH20 is a 2U, 19", 20 slot modular media converter rack chassis. The FRM220-CH20 provides
an economic solution in high density Fiber Converter installations for FTTx, Metro LAN, or in enterprises, campus
and central offices. All critical components such as power modules, fans assemblies, management modules and
interface cards are hot swappable, allowing online field replacement. Additional features allow the FRM220-CH20
to detect the working or failing status either of power module or any fan assembly in the unit and activate relays
that can be used to control external alarm devices.
The FRM220-CH08 is a 1U, 19", 8 slot modular media converter rack chassis. The FRM220-CH08 provides an
economic solution in lower density Fiber Converter installations for FTTx, Metro LAN, or in enterprises, campus and
central offices. All critical components such as power/fan modules, management modules and interface cards are
hot swappable, allowing online field replacement. Additional features allow the FRM220-CH08 to detect the working
or failing status either of power module or any fan assembly in the unit and activate relays that can be used to
control external alarm devices.
The FRM220-CH04A is a 1U, 12.2" (31cm), 4 slot modular media converter standalone/rack chassis. The
FRM220-CH04A provides an economic solution in low density Fiber Converter installations for FTTx, Metro LAN, or
in enterprises, campus and central offices. The management module and interface cards are hot swappable,
allowing online field replacement.
The FRM220-CH02-NMC is a 1U, 6-5/8" (16.8cm), 2 slot modular media converter standalone chassis. The
FRM220-CH02-NMC provides an economic solution for remote, standalone Fiber Converter installations for FTTx,
Metro LAN, or in enterprises, campus and central offices. The management module and interface card are both hot
swappable, allowing online field replacement.
All of the above mentioned chassis reserve one slot for installation of the FRM220-NMC network management
controller and FRM220 converter card(s). The FRM220-NMC or Network Management Controller is installed in the
first reserved slot, for local and remote management purposes. Each FRM220 card is an independent electrical to
electrical, optical to electrical, or optical to optical switch/converter. When linked to a compatible FRM220 stand-
alone "OAM" series standalone Media Converter, complete in-band management is supported. All settings of the
line card and remote connected stand-alone device may be managed through any of the available management
interfaces of the FRM220-NMC.
A variety of cards are available that support multi-mode or single-mode fiber types and connections to LC, SC,
ST, FC or even the latest single fiber WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing) in ranges from 2Km to 120Km. Converter
cards include Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Ethernet Switches, Asynchronous Serial (RS-485, RS-232 and RS-
422), G.703 E1, T1(DS1), Asynchronous and Synchronous Data (V.35, RS-530, X.21, RS-449, and RS-232),
E1/T1 over fiber, POTS over fiber, 2.7G 3R repeater, 10G 3R repeater, 1G & 4G 2R repeaters, 4/8E1/T1 FOMs
with FE/GbE and more as the product matures.
