DataNET Copper Connections
Description
A & B Hubs
The DNH consist of two identical hubs in one enclosure. The left side is usually the DataNET ???A??? Hub and the right side is the DataNET ???B??? Hub. Each hub contains two DataNET Hub boards and power supplies. Figure
The DataNET ports can accept copper and/or fiber optic cables. In Data Hiway installations the DNH can use the existing Data Hiway cables.
Only the Ethernet port on the ???A??? Hub is active. The cable connection be- tween the two halves determines which is the ???A??? or ???B??? Hub half. See illustration below. A jumper wire visible across pin 1 and pin 2 on the ca- ble connector (J14) indicates that this side is the ???A??? Hub half.
Before You Begin
1.The wiring method (conduit or cable glands) and cable type you use for the installation is dependent upon the site requirements. Review the Site Wiring Requirements. Table
2.Make a block diagram of your existing or proposed network. The block diagram should show all devices and the placement of the DNH. If copper cable is being used, the diagram should show the es- timated cable lengths for each run. This information will be neces- sary in determining if any DataNET Hub Signal Equalizer Boards are required (see page 34).

The Hub Signal Equalizer board balances the attenuation of signals when varying lengths of copper cable connect multiple downlinks from a HUB. The board plugs into a port connector and is wired to its associated downlink port. See DataNET Hub Signal Equalizer Board, page 34 for determining the attenuator board settings.
If you are using a cable other then the recommended cable types, the cable signals for each channel must be measured at the DNH port con- nection. These signal measurements are used to determine the attenu- ator settings for a DataNET Hub Signal Equalizer Board; see page 34.

DataNET Hub Signal Equalizer Board
Description
Instructions
This section sets the switches on the DataNET Hub Signal Equalizer board. This board is used to equalize the signal amplitude when varying lengths of copper cable are connected to multiple downlink ports on the DNH.
Typically the smallest signal on any DNH port is found on the port with the longest copper cable. Since, Signal Equalizer boards are placed on ports with signal levels greater than 3 dB the port with the longest cable does not require a Signal Equalizer board.
This procedure determines the attenuator switch settings. When cable lengths are unknown, or the cable is other than the recommended cable (Table

1.Measure and record the longest cable run (in Feet) con- nected from a device to any HUB port. The longest cable run does not require a Hub Signal Equalizer board.
2.Calculate the difference between the longest cable length and the length of cable connected to the port you wish to equalize.
3.Locate the difference in feet in the first column (Feet of Ca- ble) of Table

Sample Calculations
Calculation One:
Assume connections to Port 1 and Port 2 only.
Port 1 cable = 1000 ft. in length
Port 2 cable = 4000 ft. in length (3000 ft. difference)
Result:
Based on Table
Port 1 requires compensation for 3000 ft. Selection 4
Calculation Two:
Assume connections to Port 1, Port 2, and Port 6 Port 6 cable = 5000 feet
Port 1 cable = 1000 ft. (5000 ft. - 1000 ft. = 4000 ft. difference) Port 2 cable = 4000 ft. (5000 ft. - 4000 ft. = 1000 ft. difference)
Result:
Based on Table
Port 6 requires no compensation. Selection 1 (0 dB loss)
Port 1 requires compensation for 4000 ft. Selection 6 (3500 - 4500) Port 2 requires compensation for 1000 ft. Selection 2 (500 - 1500 ft.)
Note that the lengths of Port 1 and Port 2 cable are the same as in Cal- culation One, however, with the addition of a longer length for Port 6, new settings are required for Port 1 and Port 2.

3.Examine the recorded signal levels and determine the dB loss for each port; refer to Table
Example:
With these signal levels, port 4 is the lowest level, so no at- tenuation is required. Its signal level becomes the reference for comparing the remaining ports??? signal levels.
The next strongest signal is on port 1. 1.6/1.25 = 1.28
20 log 1.28 = 2.1 dB or
ratio of 1.28
This is within the
The next strongest signal is on port 2. 1.75/1.25 = 1.4
20 log 1.4 = 2.9 dB or
ratio of 1.4
Since 2.9 dB meets the 3 dB variance allowed, selection 2 can be used (3.5 dB loss), which will put the level at about 0.6 dB below the signal on port 4.
Next is the signal on port 8. 4.5/1.25 = 3.6
20 log of 3.6 = 11.1 dB or
ratio of 3.6
Since this signal is 11.1 dB stronger than the signal on port 4, the attenuator board on port 8 needs to be set to selection 5 (11 dB loss). This should put its signal at about 0.1 dB above the signal of port 4.

Ethernet Port LEDs
Cross Link Status
LED
There are four Ethernet Link Status LEDs.
The cross link status LED is red when no link is established between the two DataNET Hub halves, and is green when a connection is detected. Usually a red indication is caused by the absence of the cross link cable or a faulty connection.

Configuration
Conflicts
Cabling errors:
Example
NOTE
The DNH port green LED is off, or intermittently flashes between green and red. This can indicate a configuration conflict caused by a faulty ca- ble or a wrong connection or improper configuration parameters.
1.Inspect all cable and connectors for damage.
2.Verify that the cable is connected to the correct Hub half and correct Port.
3.Verify that the Channel ???A??? link is connected to the ???A??? Hub half and that the Channel ???B??? link is connected to the ???B??? Hub half.
4.Verify that both Channels A & B use the same port number on their respective Hub half.
5.Display the Port Status screen by connecting a PC to the Configura- tion Port, logging in, and then typing display links. Verify that all Ports are connected as expected; see example below.
The following example shows that Port 1 on the B Hub is incorrectly con- nected to Port 1 Channel A, on device 172.16.99.7.

Ethernet Offline
The Ethernet port is always shown as Offline on the ???B??? Hub half because the Ethernet port is always disabled on the ???B??? Hub.
Troubleshooting, Continued
Make sure each Hub half has a unique IP address and that both Hub halves have the same device ID. Usually the device ID is set to the IP address of the ???A??? Hub.
Advance Network devices periodically broadcast their status for diagnos- tic and network routing purposes.
The Subnet mask must be identical on all Advance network devices (Maxum analyzer, NAU, ANCB, DNH), and connected to a single net- work, for the broadcast message to be received properly. If a remote de- vice does not show up in the device routing table, verify that the remote device matches the local device Subnet mask.

Signal Quality
Problems
Instructions
If a DNH port green LED is off, or intermittently flashes between green and red the signal levels for that port are either too high or low relative to the other Hub ports.
If a port link fails to connect at all, the port can be set to a test mode The test mode will cause port activity to occur approximately every 50 milli- seconds instead of approximately every 7 seconds as it would for an un- connected link. While in the test mode the signal for that port can be measured.
1.Connect a standard
2.Open HyperTerminal program on your PC; reference Configuring Your PC, page 49.

5.After you have selected the ???hub_rom.mot??? file and click on ???OK,??? HyperTerm will begin transmitting records to the Hub. The Hub will respond by periodically displaying addresses as the file downloads.
6.After approximately 5 minutes, the download will be complete. The hub will display messages indicating that the download has com- pleted, and it is erasing and programming the FLASH memory.
7.Finally, the Hub will reset, and display a new login prompt.
This command controls logging of hub software events. Software events mark the progress of the Hub software in some detail so board problems may be more easily analyzed. The events off command will stop the logging of event messages. The list command, as described above, is used to view the software events in the event buffer.
This command may be used to override default values for several pa- rameters related to the HDLC protocol used by DataNET. Specific forms of the command are:

Displays the transmit ???window??? for the HDLC protocol used by DataNET. This is the number of
Sets the transmit window used by all ports on the hub. The parameter ???num??? must be a number 1 through 7. The de- fault window size is 7. The hub does not store the window size parameter in non- volatile memory, so
The ???poll delay??? parameter applies only to ports
Sets the poll delay to the value given, in milliseconds. Actual times are rounded down to the nearest ten milliseconds.
This parameter gives the delay, in milli- seconds, that a hub will enforce between message exchanges with a particular slave device. That is, before initiating a poll to a slave device, the hub will make sure that at least this much time has elapsed since the last poll to the same device. This keeps a hub from consum- ing all of the slave device???s processing time by continuously polling it at short intervals. This parameter defaults to 50 milliseconds.

dn portdelay time Sets the ???port delay??? parameter to the value given, in milliseconds. Actual times are rounded down to the nearest ten mil- liseconds.
The dn command is also used to enable and disable software tracing inside the hub software. This is intended to provide a software debug facility. The form for these commands is:
dn module on dn module off
In order to collect software trace events in the log buffer, you must also give the command ???events on.???

This command generates a simple list of available commands.
Enter the list command at any time from the Configuration Management interface to see event buffer messages. The list command has an inter- nal current sequence number that is set to 1 each time a Configuration Management login occurs. The list command will show 21 messages each time it is entered, beginning with the current sequence number. The current sequence number is updated each time list is used. A new cur- rent sequence number can be entered with the list command:

The user can view more than 21 messages by supplying a sequence number and list length:
The list length may appear by itself:
list ,32
This command lists the next 32 trace buffer entries, and increments the current message number by 32.
All the messages in the internal trace buffer can be viewed by listing se- quence number one then entering the list command until the last mes- sage is displayed. When the current message number is incremented to the last message in the internal buffer, it is automatically set to 1. You can list all the messages in the buffer without pausing between mes- sages with list 1,300.
There is a continuous listing mode for monitoring all the messages in the internal trace buffer. Start continuous list mode by entering list on. All the messages in the internal buffer will be displayed and any new mes- sages will be listed as soon as they are collected into the buffer. Termi- nate the continuous listing mode by entering a
