Mng1/ Mng2

2

10/100/1000 Ethernet RJ-45 ports for management of the SCE 1000.

CLI designation: interface Management 0/1, 0/2.

A LAN using an FE cable with an RJ-45 connector.

If both interfaces are used to provide a redundant management interface, connect both ports to the LAN via a switch.

Console

RS-232 RJ-45 port for use by technicians

A local terminal (console) using an RS-232 cable with an RJ-45 connector, as provided in the SCE 1000 kit.

AUX

Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting to the line

CLI designation: interface Gigabit Ethernet 0/1 and 0/2

Refer to Cabling Diagrams for cabling diagrams for various topologies


Table 2-3 SCE 1000 LED Groups 

LED Groups
Description

Power A

Continuous green - Power supply A is functioning normally

Red - Power supply A present, but malfunctioning

Unlit - Power supply A is either not present or has failed.

Power B

Continuous green - Power supply B is functioning normally

Red - Power supply B present, but malfunctioning

Unlit - Power supply B is either not present or has failed.

Status

The Status LED indicates the operational status of the SCE 1000 system, as follows:

Unlit - indicates no power from either power unit.

Orange - indicates that the system is booting up.

Flashing green - indicates that the system is fully operational.

Flashing orange - indicates that the system is operational, but is in a warning state.

Red - indicates that there is a problem or failure

Note that Alarms are hierarchical: Failure takes precedence over Warning, which takes precedence over operational.

Bypass

Continuous green - indicates that the traffic bypasses the SCE 1000 through an internal electrical bypass module.

The SCE 1000 is either in bypass or sniffing mode

Unlit - traffic is not being bypassed Indicates normal operation of the SCE 1000


Table 2-4 SCE 1000 LED Groups  

LED Groups
Description

GBE ports

The GBE LEDs indicate the operational status of the SCE 1000 line ports, as follows:

Link Green - indicates that the port link is up Unlit - indicates that the port link is down

Rx Flashing Green - indicates that there are incoming packets

Tx Flashing Green - indicates that there are outgoing packets

Mng

The Mng port LEDs indicate the operational status of the SCE 1000 out-of-band LAN-based management port, as follows:

Link/Active Green - indicates that the port link is up

Unlit - indicates that the port link is down o 10/100/1000

Steady green - indicates that the port is set to 100 Mbps Unlit - indicates that the port is set to 10 Mbps

Orange - indicates that the port is set to 1000 Mbps


Back Panel

The SCE 1000 platform back-panel contains the following components:

Two field-replaceable power supply units with ON/OFF switches

A field-replaceable fan drawer

Ground connections

One connector to the external bypass module

The rear panels of both the AC- and DC-powered SCE 1000 platforms are shown in Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3.

Information About Checking the Shipping Container Contents

Use the SCE 1000 Component List to check the contents of the SCE 1000 platform shipping container.

Do not discard the shipping container. You need the container if you move or ship the SCE 1000 platform in the future.

SCE 1000 Component List

Table 2-5 lists the SCE 1000 components.
