Overview
Thank you for choosing the Metrobility Gigabit single interface line card.
The R152 Gigabit line card provides seamless integration between fiber optic
multimode and singlemode segments in Gigabit Ethernet environments. It
supports copper to fiber translation as well as wavelength conversion (850nm to
1310 and 1550nm; and 1310nm to 1550nm), all at Gigabit speeds. With the
R152 line card, you can extend your network reach up to 70km on a single
segment. For networks that require extended distance support, use the R152series distance extension models which recover incoming data and retransmit
the signal, thus allowing multiple hops over any distance.
The Gigabit line card is manageable through console commands, the Metrobility
GUI-based NetBeacon® or WebBeacon™ software, or any SNMP application.
This ability provides remote control over the card’s configuration and immediate
notification of a problem to a management station.
The Metrobility Gigabit line card offers the following key features:
• Signal recovery that restores data integrity, enabling repetition over
unlimited distances.
•
A Link Loss Return (LLR) switch on each fiber optic port to aid in
troubleshooting remote network connections.
•
Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) on the fiber-to-fiber units or Copper
Loss Carry Forward (CLCF) on the copper-to-fiber units. LLCF and
CLCF work with LLR in diagnosing network connections.
•
Full-duplex support.
•
Auto-sensing copper port that eliminates the need for crossover cables.
•
Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) support.
•
A link LED on each port to indicate that the port is receiving idle link
signals or a satisfactory level of light.
•
IEEE 802.3z compliance.
•
Data transmission over singlemode cables up to 70km.*
•
Numerous connectivity options, including bidirectional wavelength
division multiplexed (BWDM) fiber.
*Actual distance should be calculated based on the actual link loss budget.

Installation Guide
Follow the simple steps outlined in this section to install and start using
your Metrobility Gigabit single interface line card.
NOTE: Electrostatic discharge precautions should be taken when handling any
line card. Proper grounding is recommended (i.e., wear a wrist strap).

Unpack the Line Card
2
Set the DIP Switches*
Your order has been provided with the safest possible packaging, but
shipping damage does occasionally occur. Inspect your line card
carefully. If you discover any shipping damage, notify your carrier and
follow their instructions for damage and claims. Save the original
shipping carton in case return or storage of the unit is necessary.
A set of six DIP switches is located on the back of the line card. (See
figure below.) These switches are used to enable/disable functions and
are clearly marked on the printed circuit board. Unmarked switches are
nonfunctional. LLR1 sets Link Loss Return on Port 1. LLR2 sets Link
Loss Return on Port 2. LLCF sets Link Loss Carry Forward on the
fiber-to-fiber repeaters (LLCF is nonfunctional on the R151-AD
converter). CLCF sets Copper Loss Carry Forward on the copper-tofiber repeaters.

Installation Guide
When setting DIP switches, the UP position is when the lever of the
DIP switch is pushed away from the circuit board. The DOWN position
is when the lever is pushed toward the circuit board.
Link Loss Return (LLR) Switch
The R152 Gigabit single interface line card incorporates Link Loss
Return functionality as an aid in troubleshooting remote fiber connections. When LLR is enabled on a port, loss of the receive (RX) link at
the port disables the transmit (TX) link on the same port. LLR is
enabled independently on each fiber port.
LLR1 enables/disables Link Loss Return on Port 1, and LLR2 enables/
disables the function on Port 2. To enable Link Loss Return, set the
switch to the ON position (up). Set the switch OFF (down) to disable
the LLR. The unit is shipped with LLR disabled.
For more information, refer to Link Loss Return in the User Guide
section of this manual.
Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) Switch
On the fiber-to-fiber Gigabit repeater, Link Loss Carry Forward is
provided as an additional aid in troubleshooting remote connections. If
the card loses link on one of its receive ports, LLCF will inhibit the
transmit link out the opposite port.
For example, if LLCF is enabled and the Gigabit line card fails to detect link on Port 2, the card will not transmit link pulses out Port 1. In
doing this, LLCF provides a way to extend the link loss indication beyond a single segment.
LLCF is enabled when the LLCF switch is in the ON position (up).
The fiber-to-fiber repeater is shipped with LLCF disabled. For more
information, refer to Link Loss Carry Forward in the User Guide
section of this manual.
LLCF is not applicable to the copper-to-fiber repeaters.

Copper Loss Carry Forward (CLCF) Switch
The copper-to-fiber R152 provides Copper Loss Carry Forward to
assist in identifying a lost copper link. When CLCF is enabled and the
module loses link on its copper port, CLCF stops the fiber port from
transmitting link pulses. CLCF has no effect on the copper port, which
continually transmits pulses, even if the fiber port loses link.
CLCF is enabled when the CLCF switch is in the ON position (up).
The unit is shipped with CLCF disabled. For more information, refer to
Copper Loss Carry Forward in the User Guide section of this manual.

•
Insert the card into a slot on the platform. Make sure that the
top and bottom edges of the board are aligned with the top and
bottom card guides in the platform. Do not force the card into
the platform unnecessarily. It should slide in easily and evenly.
•
Slide the card in until the top and bottom edges of the front
panel are flush and even with the top and bottom edges of the
platform.
•
To secure the line card to the platform, turn the thumbscrew
clockwise until it is snug. The card is now properly installed
and ready for connection to the network.
Connect to the Network
To connect the line card to the network, insert the cables into the
appropriate connectors as illustrated below. Make sure the card is
secured to the platform before making network connections. Once
power is applied to the unit, correct connectivity can be verified via the
link (LK) LED.
Twisted-Pair Interface (R152-1x only)
The twisted-pair port provides an auto-sensing RJ-45 connector that
supports a maximum segment length of 100 meters. Use Category 5e
cables. Because the port is auto-sensing, crossover cables are not
needed.

Fiber Optic Interface
Each fiber optic interface provides a singlemode or multimode SC
connector. For information regarding the cable lengths supported, refer
to the table in the Technical Specifications section.
The fiber optic interface’s receive (RX) port is positioned above its
transmit (TX) port. When making network connections, make sure that
the receive optical conductor on the card connects to the transmit
optical conductor on the connected device, and that the receive optical
conductor on the connected device connects to the transmit optical
conductor on the line card.
BWDM Interface
The bidirectional wavelength division multiplexed (BWDM) interface
port provides one singlemode SC connector that supports a maximum
segment length of 20km. BWDM line cards must always be used in
complementary pairs. That is, an R152-1X or -AX must be connected
to an R152-1Y or -AY, respectively. The R152-1X and -AX line cards
are designed to transmit data at a wavelength of 1550nm and receive at
1310nm. Correspondingly, the R152-1Y and -AY cards transmit data at
1310nm and receive at 1550nm.

LED Indicators
The Metrobility Gigabit single interface line card provides several LEDs on the
front panel for the visible verification of unit status and proper functionality.
These LEDs can assist with troubleshooting and overall network diagnosis and
management.
When lit, the LEDs indicate the following status:
• PWR (power): The unit is powered ON.
• LK (Port 1): Port 1 is receiving idle link signals (if Port 1 is a copper
port), or the input light level is satisfactory (if Port 1 is a
fiber port).
• LK (Port 2): The input light level is satisfactory on Port 2.

Link Loss Return (LLR)
The fiber ports on the Metrobility Gigabit single interface line card have been
designed with Link Loss Return functionality for troubleshooting remote
connections. When LLR is enabled*, the port’s transmitter (TX) shuts down if its
receiver (RX) fails to detect a valid link. LLR should only be enabled on one
end of a cable and is typically enabled on either the unmanaged or remote
device. LLR works in conjunction with LLCF and CLCF.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with good link status
using two R152 line cards for remote connectivity. Note that LLR and LLCF are
enabled as indicated in the diagram.

to its link partner, Line Card A. On the fiber-to-fiber models with LLCF also
enabled on both cards, the no-link condition is carried forward to the switch/hub
where a trap is generated to the management station. The network administrator
can then determine the source of the loss.

Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF)
The Metrobility fiber-to-fiber Gigabit line card incorporates LLCF for troubleshooting a remote connection. When LLCF is enabled*, the ports do not transmit
a signal until they receive a signal from the opposite port. When a lost link
signal is returned to an unmanaged line card, that lost link must then be carried
forward to a managed device (switch/hub) for trap generation. LLCF works in
conjunction with LLR.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with good link status
using two R152 fiber-to-fiber line cards for remote connectivity. Note that LLCF

port, however, continually transmits link signals regardless of whether or not the
fiber port receives link signals.
