Overview  
The Metrobility Radiance 10/100Mbps Access Optical Network Unit (ONU)  
offers the benefits of remote management while eliminating the expenses  
associated an additional chassis and management card at the remote site. The  
compact Access ONU is a complete standalone device designed for installation  
at the customer premise, with no additional equipment. It supports 10Mbps and  
100Mbps circuits, as well as auto-negotiation, ensuring compatibility with any  
customer equipment. The Access ONU provides real time monitoring of line  
quality, remote loopback and other WAN management features that allow a  
network administrator in the central office to conduct preemptive trend analysis  
and to isolate faults. Because problems are addressed locally without having to  
send a technician to the customer site, the results are reduced maintenance costs,  
greater efficiency, and faster response to customer requests.  
Designed to operate with the ONU, a Radiance Access Line Card installed in the  
central office is used to communicate, test and reconfigure the remote Access  
ONU, without reducing the available bandwidth to the customer. This is  
accomplished through Metrobility’s innovative Radiancetechnology, which  
enables the Access Line Card and ONU to receive and transmit special manage-  
ment packets in an embedded side channel.  
The Access Line Card and ONU continually exchange information in a master/  
slave relationship through their fiber link. The Access Line Card serves as the  
master, and the ONU as the slave. The master must reside in a chassis contain-  
ing a Metrobility management card. The management card is accessible through  
local software control via an SNMP agent such as Metrobility’s NetBeacon,  
via HTTP with WebBeacon, or via a serial port or telnet connection using the  
command line interface. The ONU can be located up to 100km away and be  
remotely controlled and accessed from the managed chassis.  
Through NetBeacon, a network administrator in a central office can open a  
dialog with the Access ONU and reset its hardware switch settings, monitor its  
environmental parameters, or view port details and statistics. NetBeacon  
provides extensive real-time and historical graphs to display information such as  
the packet error rate and packet details. The administrator can also perform tests  
on the remote link, without any bandwidth reduction, and isolate problems to  
prevent downtime. This end-to-end visibility and testing of the network simpli-  
fies network management and increases reliability.  
The Access ONU performs various operations set through hardware switches or  
remote management instructions. Among these functions are loopback and Far  
End Fault (FEF). Loopback enables a port to return its incoming data back to

Overview  
 
the sender. FEF enables the Access Line Card in the central office to detect a  
break in the Access ONU’s fiber port receiver. The combination of these  
operations, along with the unit’s remote management feature, enable easy  
deployment of Ethernet services to customers.  
The Radiance Access ONU provides the following key features:  
• Compatibility with any 10Mbps or 100Mbps copper Ethernet device at the  
customer premise.  
• Remote management through Metrobility’s innovative Radiance technology  
which enables communication between the central office and customer site.  
• Complete Remote Monitoring (RMON) Group 1 Ethernet Statistics support.  
• Remote link testing that does not affect the customer’s available bandwidth.  
• Individual port enable/disable.  
• Far End Fault to notify the central office of a link loss on the Access ONU’s  
fiber port receiver.  
• Auto-negotiation on the copper port.  
• Half and full duplex support on the copper port.  
• 10Mbps or 100Mbps support on the copper port.  
• Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) and Link Loss Return (LLR) functionality  
to aid in troubleshooting.  
• Integral singlemode fiber optic power monitors to measure the receive and  
transmit levels of the optical transceivers. (Models RA21-14, -16, -17 and -1J)  
• Full signal restoration that allows for maximum segment length.  
• Push-button MDI-II/MDI-X switch on the front panel to eliminate the need  
for crossover cables on the copper port.  
• Optional wall mounting bracket.  
• Full compliance with applicable portions of IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3x.  
• Maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of 1535 bytes, which accommodates  
Q-over-Q (IEEE 802.1ad) VLAN tagging and MPLS labels.

Duplex  
The DUPLEX switch sets the duplex mode on the copper port when  
auto-negotiation is disabled. The copper port operates at full duplex  
when DUPLEX is ON. It operates at half duplex when DUPLEX is  
OFF.  
When auto-negotiation is enabled, the DUPLEX switch setting is  
ignored.  
Auto-Negotiation  
Auto-negotiation is supported only on the copper port. When switch  
AUTONEG is ON, the copper port advertises 100Mbps full-duplex  
capabilities to its link partner.  
When auto-negotiation is disabled, the copper port’s duplex is set  
through the DUPLEX switch, and its speed is set by the 100M switch.  
Speed  
Switch 100M determines the speed setting for the copper port when  
auto-negotiation is disabled. The copper port speed is set to 100Mbps  
when the 100M switch is ON, and 10Mbps when it is OFF.  
The 100M switch setting is ignored when auto-negotiation is ON.  
Far End Fault  
Far End Fault (FEF) only applies to the fiber optic port. FEF enables a  
managed Radiance Access Line Card in a central office to detect a  
break in the Access ONU’s fiber port receiver. If FEF is enabled on the  
Access ONU and its fiber port stops receiving link signals, an unsolic-  
ited alarm will be sent to its Access Line Card partner. No alarms will  
be issued if FEF is disabled.  
Link Loss Return  
Link Loss Return (LLR) is only applicable to the fiber port. When LLR  
is enabled, loss of the receive signal at the port disables its own  
transmitter from emitting link pulses. When LLR is disabled, the fiber  
port continually transmits an idle signal.  
Refer to Link Loss Return for additional information.  
8
Installation Guide  
 
Link Loss Carry Forward  
Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) is provided as an aid in troubleshoot-  
ing a remote connection. When LLCF is enabled, loss of the receive  
signal at the copper port prevents the fiber port from transmitting an  
idle signal onto the cable. Conversely, if the fiber port does not detect a  
receive signal, the copper port will not transmit an idle signal.  
When LLCF is disabled, the unit continually transmits idle signals on  
both ports.  
Warning: If LLCF is enabled on the Access ONU and there is no link  
on the units copper port, you will NOT be able to manage the ONU.  
Refer to Link Loss Carry Forward for further details.  
Connect to the Network  
The Radiance Access Optical Network Unit offers the ease of plug-and-  
play installation. To connect to the network, simply insert the cables  
into the appropriate connectors. Once power is applied to the unit,  
correct connectivity can be verified via the link (LK) LEDs.

Twisted-Pair Interface  
The copper port provides a shielded RJ-45 connector that supports a  
maximum segment length of 100 meters. Use only Category 5 cables.  
Fiber Optic Interface  
The unit’s fiber receiver (RX) is to the right of the transmitter (TX).  
When making network connections, make sure that the fiber receiver  
on the Access ONU connects to the transmit port of the connected  
device, and that the receive port of the connected device connects to the  
Access ONU’s fiber transmitter.  
The fiber optic multimode interface supports a maximum segment  
length of 2km.  
The singlemode (SM) connector supports a maximum segment length  
of 20km, 40km, or 100km, depending on the model.  
To enable remote management, make sure the management (MAN)  
LED is ON after connecting the fiber cable to the Access ONU. If the  
MAN LED is not lit, reset the unit or the Access Line Card it is  
connected to by using software commands or a complete power cycle.

mentary pairs. That is, a -1X model must always be connected to a -1Y.  
The -1X units are designed to transmit data at a wavelength of 1550nm  
and receive at 1310nm. Correspondingly, the -1Y units transmit data at  
1310nm and receive at 1550nm.  
Apply Power  
Power is provided through the desktop power supply module. This  
power module is equipped with an S760 hollow-type plug for insertion  
into the DC jack located on the back of the unit and a standard IEC  
320/C14 type AC power receptacle.

Software Settings  
Two operational functions on the Radiance Access Optical Network Unit can be  
modified only through remote software commands.* Remote management  
communications occur on the fiber optic segment.  
Loopback Mode  
Loopback is only applicable to the Access ONU’s fiber port. Loopback allows  
the fiber port to return its incoming data back to the sender, while continuing to  
receive and transmit management packets. The management packets are not  
looped back to the sender—only the data packets are returned.  
When loopback is enabled on the fiber port, its incoming data is transmitted  
through most of the unit’s circuitry, not just the fiber port. This allows most of  
the circuit to be tested. RMON statistics are incremented on both ports—even  
though the physical interface on the copper port is neither transmitting nor  
receiving traffic. During loopback, the LBK LED is lit.  
When loopback is enabled, the opposite port is automatically disabled (no link).  
Loopback is not supported on the Access ONU’s copper port, because the fiber  
port would become disabled, resulting in a loss of control over the unit.  
A full power cycle of the Access ONU takes it out of loopback.  
Typically, the Access ONU’s fiber port is placed in loopback mode to test the  
segment by using any standard packet-generating test equipment.  
Port Enable/Disable  
Either port on the Access ONU can be enabled or disabled independently. When  
a port is disabled, its DIS LED is lit.  
* Refer to the Command Line Interface Reference Guide, NetBeacon Element Management Software Installation &  
User Guide or WebBeacon Management Software Installation & User Guide for software management information.

Disabling a port stops the data flow to and from that port. Although data is  
neither sent nor received, the disabled port continues to accept, process and  
transmit management packets. However, if LLCF is enabled and the opposite  
port has no link, management packets will not be transmitted.  
Remote Management Statistics  
Through SNMP management, NetBeacon or WebBeacon, you can view Remote  
Monitoring (RMON) and Ethernet statistics for the Access ONU.

Singlemode Fiber Optic Power Monitors  
Through software*, you can read the input and output power levels of the  
singlemode fiber optic port on the Access ONU.  
Input Power Level  
The accuracy of the input power monitor is ±1dBm from -28dBm to -12dBm.  
The accuracy is ±2dBm from -31dBm to -29dBm. The monitor is unresponsive  
below -31dBm. If there are no cables connected to the fiber port, the software  
may display a reading of -40dBm. The Access ONU peaks at -12dBm and  
reaches saturation at -7dBm.  
The singlemode long haul (RA21-17) and extended long haul (RA21-1J) ports  
are operational down to -34dBm, which is too low for the monitor to measure. If  
the input power level is between -34dBm and -29dBm, a valid link will be  
established, however, the light level displayed by the software will show a  
reading of -40dBm. This reading is not a failure indication; it simply means the  
level is beyond the range of the power monitor.

Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF)*  
The Access Optical Network Unit incorporates Link Loss Carry Forwardas an  
aid in troubleshooting a remote connection. When LLCF is enabled, the ports do  
not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port.  
Warning: If LLCF is enabled on the Access ONU and its copper port loses link,  
you will be unable to manage the ONU. Only enable LLCF when notification of  
a link loss is more important than remote management functionality.  
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with a good link  
status using a Radiance Access Line Card and an Access ONU for remote  
connectivity. Note that LLCF is enabled as indicated in the diagram.

Link Loss Return (LLR)  
The fiber optic port of the Access ONU has been designed with Link Loss  
Return functionality* for troubleshooting a remote connection.  
When LLR is enabled, the fiber port’s transmitter shuts down if its receiver fails  
to detect a valid receive link. LLR should only be enabled on one end of the link  
and is typically enabled on either the unmanaged or remote device.  
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with a good link  
status using a Radiance Access Line Card and an Access ONU for remote  
connectivity.

If one of the optical conductors is bad (as shown in the diagram box below), the  
unit with LLR enabled will return a no link condition to its link partner. This  
aids the network administrator in determining the source of the loss.

Important: LLR must not be active on both ends of a configuration. If it is, the  
link can never be established.
