SynOptics Communications' System 5000(tm) Ethernet host modules
provide robust, flexible connectivity, configuration and
management solutions for LaSystem 5000 network center
applications. Occupying a single slot in the Model 5000 hub,
where they deliver complete IEEE 802.3 Ethernet compatibility,
the modules offer advanced capabilities for creating structured
Ethernet network environments.
THE SYSTEM 5000 SOLUTION
The Model 5000, the cornerstone of SynOptics' System 5000 product family,
represents the industry's first intelligent hub platform to deliver a structured
networking solution for today's enterprise networks while providing an open
path to future LAN technologies.
The Model 5000 is designed to support highly-segmented enterprise networks by
providing a central point of integration and administration for distributed
environments. Residing in the network center, the Model 5000
unites distributed System 3000- and System 2000-based Ethernet,
Token Ring and FDDI networks as a single, cohesive system,
optimizing the use of centralized network resources such as
servers, bridges and routers.
The Model 5000 also includes a built-in path to the high-speed switching
technologies of the future, enabling customers to incrementally migrate their
shared-media LANs to switched backbone networks without sacrificing existing
investments.
SYSTEM 5000 ETHERNET HOST MODULES
The System 5000 Ethernet host
modules deliver complete connectivity solutions across a wide
range of unshielded twisted pair and fiber optic cabling. The
modules operate at 10 megabits per second (Mb/s) over the 12
Ethernet segments available on the Model 5000 backplane, offering
tremendous configuration flexibility for high-density structured
networking environments.
Modules can be assigned to specific
segments by either manually setting a switch or by software
selection available through the Optivity(tm) network agement
system. Users also have the option to isolate modules from the
hub backplane segments, creating independent, stand-alone
Ethernet segments.
All System 5000 Ethernet modules include
custom RRC connectivity ASICs, which perform retiming and
repeater functions for each Ethernet segment. A custom on-board
frame processing unit (FPU) and and digital signal processor
(DSP) on each module collect, count and categorize core
statistics on a per-port basis, off-loading System 5000 Ethernet
network management modules while providing simple visibility into
network performance.
A built-in RS-232 Service Port, accessible
through the Model 5000 hub's Supervisory Module, provides a
method for testing and monitoring Ethernet modules locally when
the network management station is in another location. Each
System 5000 Ethernet module also stores its own boot
configuration image in non-volatile memory, enabling the modules
to retain user settings following power cycles or removal and
replacement in the Model 5000 hub.
Three System 5000 Ethernet
modules are available: the Model 5378-F Quad Cluster Ethernet
Host Module; the Model 5308 10BASE-T Host Module; and the Model
5308-AF 10BASE-T Host Module with AUI and Fiber Interconnect
Ports.
MODEL 5378-F QUAD CLUSTER ETHERNET HOST MODULE
The Model 5378-F Quad Cluster Ethernet Host Module provides distributed SynOptics
wiring closet hubs with full access to centralized resources
located in the network center.
The module includes four port "clusters," each featuring one fiber and four
10BASE-T connections. The fiber ports offer ST-type bayonet connectors to
support downlinks from SynOptics System 3000(tm) and LattisHub(tm)
System 2000(tm) workgroups located throughout the enterprise. The
four 10BASE-Tsociated with each fiber link offer RJ-45
modular receptacles to provide distributed workgroups with
efficient access to servers, bridges, routers and other critical
equipment located in the network center.
All fiber ports on the
Model 5378-F are compatible with the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-F
specification for 10 Mb/s Ethernet operating over 62.5/125 m and
50/125 m fiber optic cabling. The ports also include the
ability to automatically configure themselves as either 10BASE-FL
asynchronous and 10BASE-FB synchronous connections, depending on
the type of equipment at the other end of the link.
Each RJ-45 port features complete IEEE 802.3i 10BASE-T compatibility for
supporting local connections over readily-available unshielded
twisted pair copper cabling. Each cluster can be selectively
assigned to any of the 12 Ethernet segments on the Model 5000
backplane, offering additional configuration flexibility.
Clusters can also be assigned to a local module- level segment or
isolated from the backplane to create a stand-alone cluster.
The 10BASE-T ports include an auto-partitioning feature which
disables connections in the event of excessive consecutive
collisions, a single collision of excessive length or jabbering
nodes. Ports are automatically reconnected once the fault is
corrected. In addition, a per-port auto-polarity feature
automatically detects and corrects wire-pair signal inversions.
The 10BASE-T ports can also connect to IBM data grade Type 1
shielded twisted pair cabling using a SynOptics Model 822
10BASE-T-to-Type 1 Adapter.
MODEL 5308 10BASE-T HOST MODULE
The Model 5308 10BASE-T Host Module offers 24 10BASE-T connections to
support host stations operating at 10 Mb/s over unshielded twisted pair cabling.
The Model 5308 offers a compact solution for high-density 10BASE-T
network environments. The module can be assigned, either
manually or through software selection, to any of the 12 Ethernet
segments on the Model 5000 hub backplane, offering additional
configuration flexibility.
The Model 5308 includes the auto-partitioning and auto-polarity features
included with the Model 5378-F. The module can also support host connections over
IBM Type 1 shielded twisted pair cabling using the Model 822
10BASE-T-to-Type 1 Adapter.
MODEL 5308-AF 10BASE-T HOST MODULE WITH AUI AND FIBER INTERCONNECT PORTS
The Model 5308-AF 10BASE-T Host Module offers
16 RJ-45 modular receptacles to support Ethernet host stations
operating over unshielded twisted pair cabling. The module also
includes attachment unit interface (AUI) and fiber interconnect
ports for supporting connections to other compatible devices.
The Model 5308-AF offers a hierarchical solution for supporting
10BASE-T workgroups while providing direct access to higher-level
devices such as Model 5000 hubs in the wiring closet. Like the
Model 5308, the Model 5308-AF can be assigned to any of the 12
Model 5000 backplane Ethernet segments. Each 10BASE-T host port
includes auto-partitioning and auto- polarity functionality and
can support shielded twisted pair connections using the Model 822
10BASE-T-to-Type 1 Adapter.
The fiber interconnect port offers
dual ST-type bayonet connectors to support links to compatible
equipment over 62.5/125 m and 50/125 m fiber optic cabling.
The port automatically configures itself as either a 10BASE-FL
asynchronous or a 10BASE-FB synchronous connection, depending on
the equipment at the other end of the link.
The AUI interconnect port supports connections to compatible devices
over a variety of media, including shielded twisted pair, unshielded
twisted pair, fiber optic and coaxial cabling, using the appropriate
transceiver.
SYSTEM 5000 ETHERNET MODULE MANAGEMENT
System 5000 Ethernet modules are fully integrated into the SynOptics
Optivity(tm) network management system, enabling network managers to monitor and
control network activity from a central management station.
Management information is forwarded from host modules to System
5000 Ethernet network management modules over a higheed Common
Management Bus (CMB) on the Model 5000 backplane, ensuring rapid,
timely reporting of network performance data. The network
management modules evaluate and consolidate the information
before forwarding it to the Optivity management station.
The Ethernet modules appear in the Expanded View(tm) graphical user
interface, providing network managers with unprecedented
visibility into the network infrastructure. A variety of other
views are also available, including the new Network Center View,ich introduces a new method for managing and configuring the
enterprise network from a central management station.
LED INDICATORS
Each System 5000 Ethernet module includes a
comprehensive front-panel LED matrix that reports module
performance, configuration and status at a glance.
All modules include a top-level annunciator LED to report overall board
status. In addition, the Model 5378-F includes a Segment
Connection LED field to indicate which segments are being used by
the module; cluster-level LEDs to report received packets; and
per-port LEDs to indicate link and partition status on an
individual port basis.
The Model 5308 and Model 5308-AF include a Segment Connection LED field
to report which segments are being utilized or if the module is isolated
from the hub backplane. A second port-status LED field reports the condition
of individual host ports and, with the Model 5308-AF, the AUI and fiber
interconnect ports.
