either an E-LAN or an E-Line service must be created firstly, and then CES parameters are

WebLCT can be used to create CES service.
Important Note: The P+E solution is not compatible with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
defined by IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at since P+E intends to provide higher power than that
provided by the two standards. Thus, it is harmful to connect FM200 P+E interfaces to

Warning: It is forbidden to connect other P+E ports (for example, the P+E ports of the
external Power Injector) to the P+E ports of FM200 whether or not the P+E function of
FM200 is disabled or enabled.
It is also highly risky to connect SPD (Surge Protection Device) to P+E ports of FM200.
Fm200 and its Power Injector Card have surge protection on P+E ports. External SPD
will not help protecting FM200 but may damage it.

Known Issues or Limitations From Previous Releases
System
FR_0000002942 Old FlexiPacket Radio requires no lower than 42.5VDC power
input to IDU in order to get powered by P+E port of IDU.
Description: When a P+E port of IDU is working under 40.5VDC
input and is connected with the old HW Packet Radio (FPR)
that requires minimum 32VDC power input, the FPR cant be
powered on. This is a normal behavior. If the IDU DC power
input is increased above 42.5VDC, there will be no such
problem.
The new FPR that supports 28VDC can be powered up by
FM200 via P+E port with 40.5VDC input.
Supported maximum P+E cable length is:
For old FPR (32VDC), it can be 65m.
For new FRP (28VDC), it can be 100m.

Powering off/on the system during its warm restart may cause
the systems flash memory to be defective.
FR_0000003850 Flash memory may become defective in rare cases.
In rare cases (1~2%), powering off the system may cause some
parts of the flash memory defective, but the system will
continue to work.
FR_0000004051 WebLCT May Lose Communication with The System.
When the speed of the Ethernet interface of the PC running
WebLCT is forced (by manual configuration) to 10Mbps, the PC
will not be able to communicate with the system.
Solution: Do not manually configure 10Mbps on the network
interface of the PC.
FR_0000007980 Back-to-back connected IDU can be powered up by port GE3
or GE4 of the other IDU.
When two IDUs are connected together via Ethernet ports, in
case one of the ports between the two IDUs is P+E port and
P+E function is enabled on one IDU, the other IDU can be
powered up unexpectedly by this P+E port.To avoid this issue,
the two IDUs can be connected via non-P+E ports or P+E
function is disabled.
FR_0000009990 SW file is not able to copy directly between Win7 SP1 and
WindowsXP.
Sometimes directly copying SW file between Windows XP and
Win7, the file size may be changed. It will be failed to
download the file with changed size to NE.
Workaround: Compress the SW file by winRAR or winZip
firstly. Copy this compressed file between winXP and win7
wont change the file size.

When SFP ports configure LAG protection, the ALS must to be
enabled. Otherwise the protection doesnt work. The
protection switch time will be over 500ms, it is because it
takes time that ALS Tx shutdowns switch.
E-LAN Servises
FR_0000005453 Rebooting the system shortly after a service is created may
cause service disabled.
Description: Rebooting the system in less than 10 seconds
after a service is created or service configuration is changed,
the service will become disabled. This is because the system
has not finished saving the configurations when it is reboot.
Suggestion: Do not reboot the system right away after creating
or reconfiguring a service.

time.
Description: Actual MAC address aging time exceeds the
configured aging time. For example,
When the configured aging time is 300sec, the actual aging
time is 400sec.
When the configured aging time is 1000sec, the actual aging
time is 1600sec.
When the configured aging time is 5000sec, the actual aging

FR_0000006640 Ethernet port performance statistics is lost if LAG on this port R2.0
is deleted firstly.
Description: When a LAG is deleted before it is
administratively disabled, the Ethernet ports in this LAG will
not have Ethernet Port performance statistics anymore.
Recreating LAG on these ports does not address the issue.
Solution: Disable the admin status of LAG before deleting it.
OAM
FR_0000007938 Spanning Tree enabling/disabling sometimes causes E-CCM R2.0
loss
Description: E-CCM is the continuity check message between
IDU and ODUs to detect the status of the ODUs working in 1+1
hot-standby mode. E-CCM is generated by the CPU of the
system. As the operation of enabling or disabling xSTP may
make CPU very busy, E-CCM could get lost for a short period of
time, which will force the active and standby ODU to switch
their roles, and switch again when xSTP gets converged.
FR_0000008853 Loss Measurement and Service Statistics cant be enabled at
the same time.
Loss Measurement and Service Statistics cant be enabled at
the same time. Enabling one of them will stop the other
automatically. This is because that they are using the same
counters and enabling one function will clear the counters,
making the counter values inaccurate for the other function.
FR_0000008687 Service PM disable/enable will cause packet dropping.
When service performance measure (PM) is disabled or
enabled, there will be a loss of few packets. This is because
enabling/disabling service PM will cause the switch chip to re-
apply the mapping rules.

service broken.
When the CVLAN ID of CESoP is modified to conflict with a
used one, the CESoP service will break and need to be re-
