Choose an Appropriate Location
The Metrobility R400 platform is intended for use in an office or
residential environment. The R400 must be oriented in a manner that
allows you to make the physical connection to the AC power source
and leaves a minimum of six inches of space around it for proper
ventilation. The R400 must be located within six feet of the AC power
source(s) being used and placed as far away as possible from electrical
noise generating equipment such as copiers, electrostatic printers, and
other motorized equipment. If exposed twisted-pair wiring is used
nearby, the wiring should be routed as far away as possible from power
cords and data cables to minimize interference.
DESKTOP INSTALLATION
The R400 is shipped with four rubber feet located on a black adhesive
strip. To install the feet, first turn the R400 upside-down. Peel the feet
from the adhesive strip, and attach one rubber foot to each “X” on the
bottom of the platform. Adding the feet provides extra stability for the
R400 when it is set on a desktop. The feet also protect the desktop
surface from getting scratched or marred by the unit.
There are four holes on each side of the R400 platform. The holes are
labeled “A” through “D” in the following diagram which shows the left
and right side panels, as seen from the rear.

Boot the Management Card
Management of the R400 Platform is provided through a local console,
the Metrobility NetBeacon or WebBeacon software, or any SNMP
network management application via a PC. WebBeacon is embedded in
the management card. SNMP is supported on many general network
platforms: SunNet Manager, HP OpenView for UNIX, HP OpenView
for NT, SNMPc and others.
Management Card
The management card is the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
agent for the Metrobility R400. Connected via the backplane to another card in
the platform, the management card reports individual board status to a local
console, Metrobility’s NetBeacon software, or any SNMP application. Thus, the
network administrator receives immediate information on network operations
via a PC. The WebBeacon kernel, embedded in the management card, provides
for Web-based management via the Internet using browsers such as Netscape®
Navigator® or Microsoft® Internet Explorer. Refer to the Command Line
Interface Reference Guide, NetBeacon Element Management Software
Installation & User’s Guide or WebBeacon Management Software Installation
& User’s Guide for detailed software instructions.
Line Cards
The Metrobility suite of line cards deliver carrier-class media, speed, and
distance solutions to address the needs of today’s telecommunications networks.
An extensive line of plug-and-play, hot-swappable cards support IP/Ethernet
interfaces at various speeds. For mission-critical applications, the Metrobility
line protection and restoration line cards feature network-on-demand accessibil-
ity, reliability, and enhanced security.
One or two single interface line cards may be installed in the R400 Platform.
Maximum segment lengths are supported on either side of the device, and all
signal activity is reliably propagated from one cable to the other assuring
accurate data flow across the network.
Refer to the each line card’s specific installation and user guide for additional
information.

Operating Features of the Load-Sharing Power Supply
The R400-AC load-sharing AC power supply is designed for use with the R400
platform and provides 30 W of power. The R400-2HS-1A is shipped with one
power supply, however, the unit can be upgraded with a second power supply.
When an R400 platform is equipped with two load-sharing power supplies, they
operate in tandem and share the load. If the power source to one of the supplies
fails or is removed, the remaining power supply automatically provides the
entire power load to the platform. This setup provides both the platform and the
network with uninterrupted service. It also decreases the demand placed upon
each individual power supply unit thus prolonging its life.
For visible verification of the operating status of the power supplies, the
management card provides two LEDs labeled “A” and “B.” When lit, the LED
indicates that its corresponding power supply is connected to an active power
source and providing power to the platform backplane. When two power
supplies are installed, both LEDs are lit simultaneously. If one of the power
supplies fails, it can easily be identified by the unlit LED.
If the R400 does not have a management card installed, verify power to the
platform via the status of the power (PWR) LED on the installed line card(s).
The PWR LED is lit while the platform is receiving power from one or both
power supplies. When using redundant power, the PWR LED remains lit even if
one of the power supplies fails; it turns off only if both power connections fail.
To optimize redundant power capability, installment of a management card is
recommended.
