Figure 2 shows the Ethernet interface LEDs.
Each ATM interface card contains the LEDs described in Table 5.
Figure 3 shows the ATM interface LEDs.
Figure 4 shows the rear panel of the device.
The power switch is on the upper right of the rear panel of the device.
Caution To avoid damaging the device, you cannot turn the power off for four seconds after you turn the power on. |
The power socket is located on the lower right rear panel of the device. The power socket has three metal prongs.
Each SwitchProbe device is equipped with an AC power cord for connection to an appropriate power source. To connect the device to a power source, see "Connecting an OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe Device to a Power Source."
The following sections describe the physical features of the OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device accessories.
The OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device requires a fiber-optic splitter tap (shipped with the device) to monitor the network. The splitter tap is passivelink integrity is maintained whether the device is on or off.
The fiber-optic splitter tap (Figure 5) contains three female SC duplex connection ports (labeled A, B, and Probe).
Installation of the splitter tap is described in the sections "Attaching the Fiber-Optic Splitter Tap Rack Panel (Optional)" and "Installing a Fiber-Optic Splitter Tap in a Rack Panel."
One 24-foot SC-duplex-to-SC-duplex multimode fiber cable (Figure 6) is shipped with the OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device.
One 4-foot SC-duplex-to-dual-SC-duplex multimode fiber cable (Figure 7) is also shipped with the OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device.
The fiber-optic splitter tap rack panel (Figure 8) is not shipped with the OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device, but can be purchased separately from Cisco Systems. The rack panel allows you to mount up to three fiber-optic splitter taps in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
Figure 8 shows the installation of the fiber-optic splitter tap.
To mount the device in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Review the section "Site Requirements."
Step 2 Slide the device (with the front panel facing you) into the equipment rack.
Step 3 Align the holes on the mounting brackets with the desired holes on the equipment rack.
Step 4 Insert screws (provided with the device) into the desired holes of the mounting bracket.
Step 5 Tighten each screw until the device is secured to the equipment rack.
Figure 9 shows an OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device mounted in an equipment rack.
To attach the fiber-optic splitter tap rack panel to a standard 19-inch equipment rack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Determine the area on the equipment rack where you want to position the rack panel (either above or below the SwitchProbe device).
Step 2 Align the rack panel mounting holes with the desired holes on the equipment rack.
Step 3 Insert screws into the desired holes.
Step 4 Tighten each screw until the rack panel is secured to the equipment rack.
Figure 10 shows a fiber-optic splitter tap rack panel mounted in an equipment rack (above an installed OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device).
To install a fiber-optic splitter tap in a rack panel that is already attached to a standard equipment rack, refer to Figure 11 and follow these steps:
Step 1 Slide the splitter tap (with the connection ports facing you) into an open slot on the rack panel.
Step 2 Secure the splitter tap to the rack panel by pushing the splitter tap's two fastener buttons into their respective holes on the rack panel.
Before connecting this device to the network, note the following warnings:
Warning This equipment is to be installed and maintained by service personnel only as defined by AS/NZS 3260 Clause 1.2.14.3 Service Personnel. |
Warning The telecommunications lines must be disconnected 1) before unplugging the main power connector and/or 2) while the housing is open. |
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. |
The fiber-optic splitter tap (Figure 12) has three female SC duplex connection ports (labeled A, B, and Probe).
To connect the fiber-optic splitter tap to the network, see Figure 13 and follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove all dust caps from the fiber-optic splitter tap connector ports.
Step 2 Remove all dust caps from connectors at the ends of the cables you will be using.
Step 3 Make sure that a multimode fiber cable with SC male connectors is connected to an ATM switch, server, or router. This device will be the DCE device.
Step 4 Connect the other end of the multimode fiber cable with SC male connectors to the splitter tap's female SC duplex connector labeled A.
Step 5 Connect one end of the 24-foot, fiber cable (with male SC connectors) that came with the OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device to a second ATM switch, server, or router. This device will be the DTE device.
Step 6 Connect the other end of the 24-foot, fiber cable (that came with the device) to the splitter tap's female SC duplex connector labeled B.
There should now be one cable extending from the DCE device to the splitter tap's A connector, and another cable from the DTE device to the splitter tap's B connector.
To connect the fiber-optic splitter tap to the OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device, see Figure 13 and follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect the single-duplex end of the 4-foot SC duplex multimode fiber cable shipped with the SwitchProbe device to the splitter tap's female SC duplex connector labeled Probe.
The other end of the three-meter SC duplex multimode fiber cable splits into two separate ends. Note that the SC connectors only contain receive (Rx) connections.
Step 2 Connect each end of the cable into the ATM interface cards of the OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device as follows:
(a) Connect the twin-duplex end of the cable labeled DCE into the ATM DCE port on the SwitchProbe device.
(b) Connect the twin-duplex end of the cable labeled DTE into the ATM DTE port on the SwitchProbe device.
To connect an OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device to a power source, follow these steps:
Step 1 Using the AC power cord included with the device, connect one end of the cord to the Power In socket.
Warning This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during normal use. |
Step 2 Connect the other end of the AC power cord to a suitable power source.
You can connect a management device to the OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device using either of these methods:

Table 6 lists the terminology used in this document:
The OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device assembles ATM cells into AAL5 protocol data units (PDUs). The device converts these PDUs into Ethernet-format frames to allow existing Remote Monitoring (RMON and RMON2) functionality to be implemented. ATM-specific physical layer statistics (such as Cells, CallAttempts, and Calls) are mapped to certain etherStats objects in the Ethernet Statistics Group of the Ethernet RMON MIB. (See
Table 7.) The resulting MIB is a shadow of the Ethernet RMON MIB.
Table 8 lists the technical specifications of the OC-3 ATM SwitchProbe device.
Standards compliance for all SwitchProbe devices is as follows:
