Enabling long distance when connecting to TDM devices

Use this procedure when connecting to time-division multiplexing (TDM) devices and your Brocade
switch has QoS and buffer credit recovery enabled.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Disable QoS.

switch:admin> portcfgqos --disable[slot/]port

If you do not disable QoS, after the second or third link reset (LR), ARB fill words display. Refer to
the Fabric OS Command Reference for more for more information on setting fill words.

3. Disable buffer credit recovery; buffer credit recovery is not compatible with the IDLE mode. If you do

not disable buffer credit recovery, it continues to perform a link reset.

switch:admin> portcfgcreditrecovery --disable [slot/]port

4. Configure the port to support long-distance links.

switch:admin> portcfglongdistance [slot/]port,LS,0,-distance 100

Forward error correction on long-distance links

Forward error correction (FEC) on user ports is supported for LD and LS long-distance modes. Use
the portCfgLongDistance command with the -fecEnable or -fecDisable options to enable or disable
FEC, respectively, on a user port. Alternatively, you can use the portCfgFec command with the --
enable
or --disable option as you would for any regular port.
