Standard Features

The WS-C1400 concentrator includes the following standard features:

• Modular design allows between 4 and 32 CDDI and/or FDDI ports.
  

• Multiple concentrators may be interconnected with UTP wire to allow your network to grow inexpensively.
  

• High port density means three times as many ports can be packed into the same rack space compared with other equivalent products.
  

• Unique traffic generation feature generates up to 100 Mbps of network traffic diagnostics.
  

• Extensive management features:
  

  • Workgroup Director is compatible with SunNet Manager, IBM NetView, and HP OpenView and may be used to remotely manage several workgroup concentrators simultaneously using an intuitive GUI.
    

  • Includes an SNMP agent to support MIB II, the FDDI MIB, and a Cisco-specific MIB.
    

  • Password-protected administration interface for "out-of-band" local network management or remote access via dial-up modem.
    

  • Remote in-band access to the administration interface via a Telnet session.
    

  • Ring map feature can be used to view a sequenced list of stations connected to the same FDDI ring.
    

  • SMT window can be used to view the SMT parameters of any device on the ring.
    

• IP addresses can be configured using the BOOTP server.
  

• You can download new software releases over the network, or locally via the administration interface.
  

• Dual MAC architecture implements graceful insertion, so new stations may be connected without loss of data.
  

• Compact design allows the concentrator to be wall-mounted in 6-inch deep wiring closets or rack-mounted in 19inch racks. The concentrator is also quiet and attractive enough for desktop environments.
  

• Traffic meter and three-color front panel indicators clearly display status.
  

• Supports up to 1.25 miles (2 km) of 50 or 62.5micron multimode optical fiber, 18.6 miles (30 km) of single-mode optical fiber, or 330 feet (100 m) of Category 5 UTP or IBM Type 1 or Type 2 STP copper wire.

CDDI/FDDI Media Translator

The C703 CDDI/FDDI media translator is used to convert between CDDI and FDDI links. It includes a transceiver and a +5V external 120-VAC power supply for North America. Table 289 provides specifications for the C703 CDDI/FDDI media translator.

Table 289 : CDDI/FDDI Media Translator Specifications

Description	Specification
Connectors	1 FDDI MIC 1 CDDI 8-pin RJ-45
LEDs	FDDI signal detect CDDI signal detect Power
Dimensions (H x W x D)	1.5 x 3.5 x 5.6"
Translator power requirements	+5V
External power supply	120 VAC, UL, CS
Agency compliance	FCC Part 15, Subpart J, Class A

Figure 148 shows the most typical configurations for CDDI/FDDI translators. A standard patch cable is used to connect the FDDI side to the media translator. A cross-connect cable is used to connect the CDDI side, except when connecting a Workgroup 1000 concentrator (MLT-2), which requires a straight-through cable.

Figure 148 : Typical Configuration of the CDDI/FDDI Media Translator

UTP Cables

Two kinds of unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) modular cables can be used---crossconnect and straightthrough:

• The UTP cross-connect modular cable (WS-C710) is a seven-foot long, data-grade modular cable for connecting the workgroup concentrator M port to the patch panel. A one-foot, cross-connect cable (WS-C711) is also available for daisychaining A/B CDDI ports.
  

• The UTP straight-through cables are 7-foot (WS-C717) or 25-foot (WS-C725) long, data-grade modular cables for connecting the CDDI/FDDI adapter to the wall plate.
  

STP-to-UTP Converter

The STP-to-UTP converter (WS-C737) is used to connect CDDI equipment to IBM Type 1 STP cabling systems.

FDDI Patch Cable

The FDDI patch cable (WS-C757) is a seven-foot long, fiber-optic cable with MICs on each end.

The FDDI MIC-to-FDDI SC cable (WS-C767) is a seven-foot long, fiber-optic cable with a MIC on one end and an SC connector on the other end.

Optical Attenuation Set

The optical attenuation set (WS-C784) includes two 10-dB optical attenuators, one for each signal direction. The set must be used in single-mode fiber applications having a total link attenuation of less than 10 dBs.

Wall-Mounting Kit

The wall-mounting kit (WS-C1670) contains hardware mounting accessories to mount the WS-C1400 chassis on the wall.

AC Power Cords

Workgroup products are shipped with North American power cords standard. Specify on your order alternate power cords for European (220V), U.K., Italian, or Australian power cords. For part numbers, see the chapter "Power Cords."

Configuration Worksheet

Use the following worksheet to help plan your order or to upgrade an existing system. One blank worksheet is provided, and you can make extra copies as needed.
