The Cisco SCE solution offers several basic topology options that permit the user to tailor the SCE Platform to fit the needs of a particular installation. An understanding of the various issues and options is crucial to designing, deploying, and configuring the topology that best meets the requirements of the individual system.
Bypass mode when the SCE 1000 is not operational (on-failure)—This parameter determines • whether the system cuts the traffic or bypasses it when the SCE 1000 has failed. May be configured via either the setup command or the connection-mode command.
SW watchdog. A software mechanism that periodically checks for software failures in the – SCE 1000. If a failure is detected, an error massage is sent and the SCE 1000 reboots. Run time hardware tests. The system periodically tests the hardware components for error. If a •...
Monitoring and Control—The SCE 1000 monitors and controls traffic flow. Decisions are enforced • by the SCE 1000 depending on the results of the monitoring functions of the SCE 1000 and the configuration of the Service Control Application for Broadband or Mobile solution.
• Bump-in-the-Wire (Inline) Topology Typically, the SCE 1000 is connected on a full duplex line between two devices (Router, BRAS, and so forth). When the SCE 1000 is installed as a bump-in-the-wire, it physically resides on the data link between the subscriber side and the network side, and can both receive and transmit traffic (Figure 3-1).
3-2). In this topology, the traffic passes through the external splitter, which splits traffic to the SCE 1000. The external splitter is connected to the SCE 1000 via Rx links only. The SCE 1000, therefore, receives traffic only. It does not transmit.
A single SCE 1000 platform does not provide redundancy for SCE 1000 control functions. In case of failure of the SCE 1000 unit, the SCE 1000 simply bypasses the traffic; the traffic link is not cut, but no control or monitoring functionality is available.
Page 38
After this occurs, the failed SCE 1000 can be fixed/replaced with no downtime, since the box is effectively disconnected from the network. After fixing/replacing the failed SCE 1000, you must copy the configuration of the current active SCE 1000 to the fixed/replaced SCE 1000.
Information About Failure and Recovery It is important to decide how the system should behave in case of the failure of the SCE 1000, both during the time that the unit is down and after recovery. This decision is influenced by several factors: Physical installation (connection mode) •...
The connection mode parameter refers directly to the physical topology in which the SCE 1000 is installed. Installation is possible in either of the two following modes: Inline — The SCE 1000 resides on the data link between the subscriber side and the network side, •...
Link Failure Reflection Parameter In a single SCE 1000 topology, the value of this parameter is determined by whether or not the link can be completely cut when the SCE 1000 fails, or whether traffic flow should continue across the link in spite of platform failure.
Page 42
2. In a redundant topology, it is also possible to configure admin status after abnormal boot to be Not operational. In this case, though, the SCE 1000 would have to be manually reloaded to resume full functionality. Cisco SCE 1000 2xGBE Installation and Configuration Guide...
Revised: September 17, 2012, OL-26790-01 Introduction This chapter explains how to install a SCE 1000 platform in a rack or in a general tabletop or workbench installation. Additionally, this chapter contains instructions for installing or replacing the power supply units and fan modules.
The SCE 1000 chassis is fully assembled at the factory, including the application and software packages. No assembly is required. However, you need the following tools and equipment to install the SCE 1000 chassis and the rack-mount kit (if installing the SCE 1000 platform in a rack), fan modules, and power supplies: Number 1 and 2 Phillips screwdriver •...

How to Power Down an AC-Input Power Supply To power down an AC-input power supply to the SCE 1000 platform, complete the following steps: Make sure that the power supply unit is switched off before replacing it (NO hot-swap). Note that one Note AC-input power supply can be running when the other power supply is being removed or replaced.
Note that the power to the relevant power supply unit should be off, not necessarily all power to the Note SCE 1000 platform. One DC-input power supply can be running when the other power supply is being removed or replaced.
Gently, but firmly, slide the module into the chassis until its faceplate is flush with the chassis rear panel. Step 3 When inserting a power supply into the SCE 1000 platform, do not use unnecessary force; slamming the Note power supply into the chassis can damage the connectors on the rear of the power supply.
BY PA SS PO W ER B PO W ER A For AC-input power, we recommend powering the SCE 1000 platform from a 120 VAC, 15A receptacle Note U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) at the power source. 15 A branch circuit protection is recommended.
OFF position. Note that the power to the relevant power supply unit should be off, not necessarily all power to the SCE 1000 platform. One DC-input power supply can be running when the other power supply is being removed or replaced.

Note that a fan failure is often audible. Removing and Replacing the Fan Module The following sections explain how to remove and replace a fan module in a SCE 1000 platform: Do not remove or install modules without using appropriate anti-static guard measures. The SCE 1000 includes an anti-static wrist strap in the accessory kit.
When inserting a fan module into the SCE 1000 platform, do not use unnecessary force; slamming the fan module into the chassis can damage the connectors on the rear of the module. Seat the fan module in the SCE 1000 platform by tightening the two captive installation screws with a Step 4 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver.
How to Replace the Battery How to Replace the Battery The SCE 1000 has a lithium battery on its main circuit board. When the battery loses its charge, call Cisco Technical Support to replace the battery. Do not attempt to replace this battery yourself.

SCE 2000 and SCE 1000 CLI Command Reference for more information. Remember that if the management interface is not operational, you should connect the SCE 1000 platform to a local console so that you can enter CLI commands for troubleshooting.
Checking the LEDs The front panel LEDS are the most immediate problem-detection mechanism of the platform. Refer to the following sections for information on SCE 1000 platform LEDS: Front Panel • SCE 1000 Operational Status •...

SCE 1000 Operational Status Table 8-2 lists the operational states of the SCE 1000. The Status LED on the SCE 1000 Front Panel reflects the current SCE 1000 operational status. The operational status can be displayed using CLI command show system operation-status.
Startup problems are commonly due to the source power or to a poor cable connection. When you start up the SCE 1000 platform for the first time, you should observe the startup sequence described in Starting the SCE 1000 Platform. This section contains a more detailed description of the normal startup sequence and describes the steps to take if the system does not perform that sequence as expected.
Check the following to help isolate a problem in the power subsystem. In the normally configured SCE 1000 platform with redundant power supply units, it is unlikely that the device will not start at all. However, at startup it should be verified that both power supply units are operational, and therefore the following steps should be followed if one of the Power LEDs on the front panel remains unlit when the SCE 1000 platform is powered up.

When the management link is down and/or a Telnet connection cannot be established, you must open a CLI session on a local terminal connected to the CON port. This enables you to solve the problem and then reconnect through the management port. Cisco SCE 1000 2xGBE Installation and Configuration Guide OL-26790-01...

The SCE 1000 platform External Optical Bypass module preserves the service provider GBE links in case of complete power failure of the SCE 1000 platform, or for implementing a maintenance window. The SCE 1000 platform state-of-the-art Service Control platform is being deployed at ISPs, Cable and Wireless Tier1 provider networks, and is therefore required to comply with the carrier grade availability requirements of these mission critical networks.
GBE signals to and from the SCE 1000 platform. In case the SCE 1000 platform stops providing power to the External Optical Bypass module, or in case the power cable is disconnected from the optical bypass module, the External Optical Bypass module becomes active, bypassing the two GBE links to the SCE 1000 platform, and thus preserving network connectivity.
NET Rx/Tx — GBE port that connects to the network element on the Network side of the link. • CONTROL — RJ-45 port that connects to the Bypass connector on the rear panel of the SCE 1000 • platform. The SCE 1000 platform controls the External Optical Bypass module via this connection, by the presence or absence of electrical power.

Power up the SCE 1000 platform, as explained in Starting the SCE 1000 Platform. Step 5 Verify that the relevant GBE interfaces of the SCE 1000 platform are now in sync, as the External Optical Bypass module is now active (in bypass), and is performing a loopback on these interfaces.

How to Cable the External Optical Bypass Module The SCE 1000 platform immediately starts providing power to the External Optical Bypass module, so the bypass module becomes inactive, and starts transferring the traffic to the SCE 1000 platform. The “No Bypass” LED should therefore be lit.
