The SFP slots can be fitted with any
combination of the SX or LH fiber-optic transceiver modules. The SX module
supports up to 550 meters of Multimode Fiber and the LH module supports up to
10 kilometers of Single Mode Fiber. Fiber-optic splices, patch panels, and
connector losses reduce these overall distances. The SFP slots and transceivers
operate at 1000Mb (gigabit) full duplex only.
|
|
Each SFP transceiver module has a transmit
port and a receive port. An LC type duplex fiber-optic connector is required on
the end of the fiber-optic cable pair. The fiber-optic switch-to-switch
connection is a crossover where the transmit on one end is connected to the
receive on the other end.
|
|
For Multimode Fiber on the SX type module,
a 62.5/125 micron or 50/125 micron fiber can be used. For Single Mode fiber on
the LH module, a 9 micron fiber can be used.

100 m (max) straight-through cable. The
shield on the controller's RJ45 connector connects only to a Faraday cage in
the controller; not to the controller's DC ground. Therefore, the RJ45
connectors are floating and the single point of ground is made at the hub or
switch to which the controller is connected. Build this cable assembly with a
shielded, metal-enclosed RJ45 connector on
both ends .

100 m (max) straight-through cable. To
prevent ground loops, build this cable assembly with a shielded, metal-enclosed
RJ45 connector on one end and an isolated, plastic-enclosed RJ45 connector on
the other end. The metal connector end of this cable assembly/link
must be placed on the switch and
not on the PC.

All twisted pair ports are configured to
auto-sense speed and auto-negotiate duplex. Do not hard-configure speed or
duplex on the twisted pair switch ports or duplex mismatches, which create
communications failures, will occur. Always allow the switch to auto-sense
speed and auto-negotiate duplex

If switch management is to be used over
the network via telnet or a web browser, be aware that access privileges and
port configuration requirements exist for the twisted pair switch-to-switch
links. Refer to "Managing Cisco Switches" in Books Online for information.
Refer to the list of reserved IP addresses that are allowed for switches on
DeltaV systems. Refer to the Cisco documentation for web management
information. A dedicated non-DeltaV PC is required for switch management.

The Management station has special
hardware and software requirements. Refer to the related topics for information
on the management station before connecting the station to the DeltaV Control
Network.
