Control Hardware Planning Guide
The CF9 provides eight ports for FTE connections to C300s and Series C FIMs within a
Series C cabinet as well as FTE Bridge modules (FTEB) in a Series A Chassis I/O
chassis. It has a ninth port for an uplink connection to the supervisory FTE network and
level 2 control area. It provides network security by
Rejecting all Ethernet messages not needed for control,
Giving priority to traffic on downlink ports over ingress traffic on the uplink port, if
the fabric becomes saturated, and
Allowing only valid C300-compliant messages to pass on to the C300 domain.
ESD HAZARD
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or semiconductors if
you touch connector pins or tracks on a printed wiring board. Follow these
guidelines when you handle any electronic component:
WARNING
Unless the location is known to be non-hazardous, do not:
Considerations
Be sure the enclosure is connected to a protective earth ground using #8 AWG solid
copper wire. There should be metal to metal contact between the grounding bus bar
and the enclosure as well as the carrier.
You are responsible for observing all local ordinances governing the wiring and
installation of electrical equipment.
The default location for the two (redundant) Control Firewalls is the top two
locations on the left most carrier channel assembly (CCA) in the Series C cabinet, as
shown in the following figure. It is more convenient to make Ethernet connections to
vertically adjacent CF9 IOTAs.
Do not mix FTE A link cables (yellow) and FTE B link cables (green) on the
same IOTA, since this will cause erroneous communications
The nine FTE ports on the CF9 IOTA are standard RJ-45 type jacks, each of which
accepts an 8-pin Ethernet shielded twisted pair (STP) cable with an RJ-45 plug.
Do not use the 30-pin connector on the IOTA. It is for factory use only.

Step Action
1 Select desired mounting location on carrier and align mounting holes in IOTA
with screw hole locations on the carrier. See the following dimension drawing
for details.
2 Be sure component side of IOTA is facing up. Secure IOTA to carrier using
screws, washers and spacers provided. Insert spacers and washers between
bottom of IOTA and top of carrier.
3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to mount the second CF9 IOTA immediately below the
one that was just installed.
4 This completes the procedure. Go to To wire CF9 IOTA for connection
details.
Step Action
1 Connect yellow FTE cable from FTE A link, L1/L2 Ethernet switch to the
J3 connector on the Control Firewall (CF9) to be used as the FTE A link
(yellow cable).
Connect green FTE cable from FTE B link, L1/L2 Ethernet switch to the J3
connector on another Control Firewall (CF9) to be used as the FTE B link
(green cable) redundant IOTA.
2 Route yellow cables from four J4 and four J5 connectors on the CF9 for FTE
A links to corresponding FTE A ports on C300s, Series C FIMs, and FTE
Bridge modules, as required.
Step Action
3 Route green cables from four J4 and four J5 connectors on the other
redundant CF9 IOTA for FTE B links to corresponding FTE B ports on
C300s, Series C FIMs, and FTE Bridge modules, as required.
4 Tighten the screws in terminals 24 Vdc + and COM (logic ground) to the
vertical bus bar to connect to the cabinet resident 24 Vdc power supply to
both CF9s.
9 This completes the procedure. Go to the next section.
Considerations
The IOTA and CF9 module are keyed, so you cannot install any other Series C module
on a CF9 IOTA.
To install CF9
Step Action
1 Align CF9 connector pins over connector/slot on IOTA.
2 Carefully press down on the CF9 module until it is fully seated in the
connector.
3 Use the three screws provided to secure the CF9 module to the IOTA.
4 Repeat Steps 1 to 3 to install other CF9s on their IOTAs, as required
5 This completes the procedure. Go to the next Section.
Stage Description
1 Power Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights (green)
2 Status LED cycles through red, green, and amber while the CF9 runs its
power-on self test (POST).
3 When the CF9 POST completes, the Status LED turns green and the FTE
port LEDs flash green and off for all connected ports. The LEDs for
unconnected FTE ports are off.
LED State
Notes:
2. Cycles through red, green, and amber during POST or cyclic redundancy check (CRC).
4. The CF9 has detected a soft failure and is working in a diminished state. The typical cause is
a disconnected uplink port cable.
That all light emitting diodes (LED) are If LED is not lit or has dimmed, you must
working. replace the CF9 module, since LEDs are
not field replaceable.
CAUTION
We recommend that you proceed with extreme caution whenever replacing
any component in a control system. Be sure the system is offline or in a safe
operating mode.
WARNING
Unless the location is known to be non-hazardous, do not:
