Page 19: Rack Mounting
2: Hardware Installation Rack mounting To install the EtherNID in a standard 19” rack, attach the optional 1U rack mount bracket as shown. An optional 1U bracket is available that can hold two units. Grounding the EtherNID Connect the EtherNID to a ground point on the rack as follows: 1.
Page 20: Ethershelf
2: Hardware Installation EtherSHELF The EtherSHELF, an optional 12 unit, 4U shelf is available for large-scale installations. To mount an EtherNID in the EtherSHELF, L-shaped brackets must be attached to the left and right side of the unit. Grounding the EtherSHELF Connect the EtherSHELF to a ground point on the rack as follows: 1.
Page 21: Dimensions
2: Hardware Installation 5. Use a small wrench to tighten the bolts around the two grounding screws to secure the two-hole grounding lug to the back of the EtherSHELF 6. Connect the other end of the wire to a grounding point on the rack. Dimensions The EtherSHELF is a 4U chassis for 19 inch racks with available side extenders for 23 inch racks.
Page 22: Powering The Ethernid
2: Hardware Installation Powering the EtherNID The EtherNID can be powered using one of the following options: DC power adapter Connect the supplied power adapter to the 5V/2A DC connector on the rear of the unit. Once installed, attach the strain relief to the center, threaded hole located above the power input with the supplied screw and washer: 48V DC from the 12 unit EtherSHELF You can power EtherNIDs mounted in the EtherSHELF using the shelf’s built-in 48 V DC power connector.
Page 23: 24V Or 48V Dc From The Terminal Block Adapter
2: Hardware Installation 24V or 48V DC from the Terminal Block Adapter In a 1U rack mount bracket installation, it is sometimes preferable to use 24 or 48V DC power through directly secured wires as opposed to the DC power adapter. The Terminal Block Adapter fastens to the back of the EtherNID to provide such an installation.
Page 24 2: Hardware Installation Isolated +/- 48V Return A and B Isolated +/- 24V Return A and B The power source (+/-40 to +/-57 V DC) must be limited by a 0.5A/48V fast acting fuse or equivalent. There should be one fuse per power feed.

Page 91: Cable Verification
4: Port configuration Cable verification The EtherNID uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to determine the quality of cables, connectors, and terminations. Some of the possible problems that the EtherNID can diagnose are: opens, shorts, cable impedance mismatch, bad connectors, and termination mismatch. Testing a cable To perform a cable test, do the following: 1.
Page 92 4: Port configuration When completed, test status will be one of the following: GOOD: Normal cable. SHORT: Indicates that the positive and the negative lines of the same cable pair are touching: Possible causes include: Cable wire may be touching the wire closet patch panel. Cable may be worn or broken allowing the positive and negative lines to touch.
Page 93: Monitoring & Filtering
5: Monitoring & Filtering 5 Monitoring & Filtering Service mapping The EtherNID can perform EVC mapping (which is essentially a VLAN push), CoS mapping and Bandwidth Policing mapping. These options can be used together or separately. Prior to creating CoS profiles and/or Bandwidth regulator sets, appropriate filters and bandwidth regulators will need to be created.
Page 94: Configuring A Cos Profile
5: Monitoring & Filtering IP precedence DSCP Reference count The reference count is the number of policies that are currently using this CoS profile. Configuring a CoS Profile Once a Cos profile is created, it can be applied to policies for traffic classification. To configure a CoS profile, do the following: 1.
Page 95: Cos Profile Parameters
5: Monitoring & Filtering CoS Profile parameters Name Name of the CoS profile. Type Indicates the type of CoS profile. Possible values are: IP precedence DSCP Decode DEI This field is only valid for PCP CoS profiles. If this field is set, the pre-marking color is decoded from the DEI bit (Drop Eligible Indication).

5: Monitoring & Filtering Reference count (only visible on existing sets) The reference count is the number of policies that are currently using this Bandwidth regulator set. Regulator set This table has three columns and N rows, where N depends on the type of the regulator set. If the type is PCP or IP precedence then N=8.
Page 99: Layer-2 Protocol Tunneling
5: Monitoring & Filtering Layer-2 Protocol Tunneling The Layer-2 Protocol Tunneling feature allows the customer's layer-2 control protocol (L2CP) frames to be transparently transported across an EVC without interfering with the carrier/operator network and equipment. The protocol tunneling operates by replacing the protocol's specific destination MAC address with a multicast address that is transparently transported by the transit equipment, and reinserting the original destination MAC when the traffic reaches the destination equipment.
Page 100 5: Monitoring & Filtering EVC Mapping This allows the forwarding rules to perform VLAN tagging on the forwarded frames. Possible values are: None: frames matching the specific rule are forwarded unmodified. Push: frames matching the specific rule are forwarded with an extra VLAN tag determined by the VLAN ID field and their Ethernet type is set to the value specified by the VLAN ethertype field.

5: Monitoring & Filtering Adding a new L2PT Rule To add or edit an L2PT rule, do the following: 1. Open the Traffic > L2PT page. 2. Click the Add button to add a new rule or click on the rule name to edit an existing rule. L2PT rule settings Enable L2PT rule Allows a rule to be enabled or disabled without being deleted.
Page 102 5: Monitoring & Filtering • The Accedian replacement: 01:15:AD:CC:xx:yy MAC is used. Because this replacement MAC has variable elements, it can be used on multiple rules as the variable elements allow a match to a specific rule when a tunneled frame ingresses the network port. These variable elements are set as such: xx: the unique ID specified in the configuration (see below).
Page 103 5: Monitoring & Filtering VLAN1 ethertype Allows selecting the ethertype of the first tag inserted in the tunneled frame. This is available only when the Tunneling operation mode is selected. VLAN2 ethertype Allows selecting the ethertype of the second tag inserted in the tunneled frame (for Q-in-Q). This is available only when the Tunneling operation mode is selected.
