SSR-CM2B-64E8.2.0.0 WARNING: The SSR-CM4-256 is designed for

SSR-CM3-128

slots 0 and 1 only, and is easily damaged by

SSR-CM4-256

electrostatic discharge.

 

 

CAUTION: You cannot hot swap the Primary CM;

 

however, you may hot swap a Secondary CM by

 

pressing the hot swap button.

 

Note: You cannot use a CM4 with CM3 or CM2

 

command modules. Older modules will not

 

recognize the CM4.

 

Default Module Settings

 

The CM4 comes with the baud rate on RS232

 

console port set to 9600.

Preparing the Module

You must install the PCMCIA card before you install the command module. You cannot add or remove a PCMCIA card while the unit is powered on.

Proper Boot Sequence

The HBT, ERR, and DIAG LEDs light momentarily.

The screen displays the boot software version, cache, and processor information.

The CM boots an image if available or stops at a prompt for configuration.

Common Errors

The firmware image was loaded but no traffic is being passed. This occurs when your network reboots and cannot find your network settings in the configuration file.

Screen connected to console port displays random text. Change terminal to 9600 baud/8 bits/Xon Xoff/full duplex.

SSR-FDDI-02

3.2.0.0

Preparing the Module

 

 

• Before installing the module, you must install at

least one of the following FPHYs (purchased separately): FPHY-01, FPHY-02, or FPHY-09. See Installing FPHYs on page 79.

• Because FDDI full duplex is not an industry standard, its implementation is based on the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) standard. FDDI full duplex will interoperate with all DEC products and most Enterasys Networks FDDI products.

Proper Boot Sequence

Firmware loads.

The LEDs on Port 1 light in the following order: A, B, P, S, Rx, and Tx. After the Tx LED lights, all LEDs turn off and the online LED turns green.

Diagnostic messages display for each line card.

Status lights on line cards go online.

Link lights activate for connected lines.

Common Errors

The X-Pedition is not powered up.

Ensure that the device attached to the module is powered up and operating correctly.

The module is not properly seated in the slot.

Connectors on both ends of the cable are not properly engaged. Fiber cable attached to an SC-type port did not click into place or is not properly seated.

If you are using fiber optic cable with an ST-type connector in conjunction with an SC-ST port converter, try switching the TX and RX connectors.
