• Locate and have accessible the Site Log for recording information about this installation. Tools and Parts Use the following list of tools and parts as a checklist for preparing for installing the SCE 1000 platform: • Appropriate cables to connect the SCE 1000 to the network and console terminal •...
• An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for the SCE 1000 platform. • The SCE 1000 platform has at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance at each side and at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance at the rear to allow proper air flow.
Mounting Bracket for 4-post Racks The SCE 1000 mounts to the two front rack posts with brackets that attach to the front of the SCE 1000. The inside width between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.3 inches (44 cm).
To install the rack-mount brackets on the SCE 1000 chassis, complete the following steps: Before installing the SCE 1000 in the rack, you must first install a rack-mount bracket on each side of the front of the SCE 1000. Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the SCE 1000. Choose the proper bracket for your installation (2-post rack...
Step 1 Figure 6 Assembling the Slider Brackets Make sure that they are oriented so that both crossrails will support the SCE 1000 when they are attached to the rack. Step 2 Attach the Crossrail Supports to the Rack Align the crossrail supports with the side of the rack, parallel to the floor.
1. Make sure that the rack brakes are locked or that the rack is otherwise stabilized. 2. Position the SCE 1000 so that the front end is closest to you, and lift it carefully to place it into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid sudden twists or moves.

Step 5 For each bracket, insert and tighten two appropriate screws to the rack. Since the brackets support the weight of the entire SCE 1000 chassis, be sure to use all four screws to fasten the two Note rack-mount brackets to the rack posts.
Connect the Power Supply Units This section provides information for grounding the SCE 1000 platform and connecting the AC or DC power supply units. • Connect the Chassis Ground, page 9 • Connecting the Power, page 10 Connect the Chassis Ground...
A Grounding kit is provided with each SCE 1000. Use this Grounding kit to properly ground the SCE 1000 chassis. When installing the unit, the chassis ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. On the rear panel of the SCE 1000, locate the chassis grounding connector (refer to the appropriate figure for an AC- Step 1 or DC-powered SCE 1000 above).
Connect the DC-Input Power Supply Unit Figure 12 Connecting the DC Power BY PA SS PO W ER B PO W ER A Before completing any of the following steps, and to prevent short-circuit or shock hazards, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit.
Connect the AC-Input Power Supply Unit Plug the AC-input power cable into the AC-input power receptacle on the AC-input power supply Step 1 For AC-input power, we recommend powering the SCE 2000 platform from a 120 VAC, 15A receptacle U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) at the power source.
NE T You must first connect the unit to a local console and configure the initial settings for the SCE 1000 to support remote management. When the initial connection is established, the setup utility will run automatically, prompting you to perform the initial system configuration.

Type in the hostname or the IP address in the form x.x.x.x, and press Enter. Would you like to configure SNTP unicast servers? [no]: y Enter IP address or hostname of SNTP unicast server: 10.1.1.1 Example:...
Step 6: Configuring the RDR Formatter Destination The SCE 1000 passes Raw Data Records (RDRs) to an external collection system via the RDR-Formatter. In order for the data to reach the correct location, the IP address of the external collection system and its port number must be configured.
• Order of Entries, page 23 Configuring ACLs The SCE 1000 can be configured with Access Control Lists (ACLs), which are used to permit or deny incoming connections on any of the management interfaces. ACL #0 is a pre-defined list that permits access to all IP addresses.
Page 23
Entry Formats Each ACL may permit/deny access to any IP address, one or more ranges of IP addresses, or one or more individual IP address. Three entry formats are available to support these options: • Any IP address — Type the word “any”. Any IP address will be permitted or denied access. •...
Page 24
8. When all entries are added to one list, you are asked whether you would like to create another ACL. You may define up to 99 ACLs. 9. Restrict IP access to the SCE 1000 by assigning the appropriate ACL. 10. Restrict Telnet access to the SCE 1000 by assigning the appropriate ACL.
Page 25
To accept the default ACL, press Enter. Enter IP access-class [0]: Step 10 Restrict Telnet access to the SCE 1000 by assigning the appropriate ACL. Type the number of the ACL to be assigned to the Telnet interface and press Enter.
Enter Telnet access-class [0]: 22 Step 8: Configuring SNMP Managing the SCE 1000 is possible also via a Network Management System (NMS) that supports SNMP. By default, SNMP is disabled on the SCE 1000. To enable SNMP management you must configure the following basic SNMP parameters: •...

Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into your management network. The Link LED on the SCE 1000 management port should light up. Test connectivity. From the host that you intend to use for remote management, ping to the SCE 1000 by typing ping Step 3 and the SCE 1000 IP address, and pressing Enter (see the example, below).
(in other topologies), and the network side, usually a router or layer 3 switch network element. This is the inline topology, providing both traffic monitoring and control capabilities. In this topology, all the traffic of the SCE 1000 is deployed as a transparent layer2 overlay on the customer’s existing network. Figure 16...
The external splitter is connected to the SCE 1000 via Rx links only. In this topology, the traffic passes through the external splitter, which splits traffic to the SCE 1000. The SCE 1000, therefore, is in receive-only topology, having only traffic monitoring capabilities.
10 km for 9.0µm Core Single Mode Diameter SMF Plug the specified fiber optic cable (see table above) into the appropriate GBE port on the front panel of the SCE 1000. Step 1 Verify that the link LED is green.
Examining the LEDs The GBE Link LED must be green to verify that an active connection exists. The GBE Rx and Tx LEDs (if flashing green) indicate that traffic is being received or transmitted by the SCE 1000 platform, respectively.
