Page 7: About This Manual
(currently Nimbra 340, Nimbra 340-HD and Nimbra 360), focusing on hardware installation and maintenance as well as software installation. For further information on how to operate and administer Nimbra 300 series switches in a network, reference is made to the Nimbra Element Manager Users Manual. -
Page 8: Conventions In This Manual
Conventions in This Manual When this manual mentions Nimbra 300 Series switches, it refers to the switches Nimbra 340, Nimbra 340-HD and Nimbra 360. Some illustrations are made with one of the three switches of the series, but are nevertheless general for the entire series. -
Page 9: Product Overview
Nimbra 360 exists in two different versions, standard and LPN (Low Phase Noise). The difference between them is the better hold-over performance in the LPN version. All Nimbra 300 series switches have two available slots for plug-in boards. A number of various trunk and access interface are possible in this flexible manner. - Page 10 Interface) for element management, CLI (Command Line Interface), and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). The Nimbra 300 series of switches comes with an integrated control module and a 5 Gbps non-blocking switch matrix. Apart from the fixed ports, the following plug-in modules are available for mounting in the two horisontal slots: •...

Figure 2. Nimbra 360 Nimbra 360 does not have fixed ASI or HD-SDI ports. Instead, it has four trunk ports. They can be fitted with OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4 or OC-48/STM-16 transceivers. In the last case, only two ports can be used. - Page 12 • RESET push-button and Status LED: pressing the reset button causes the Nimbra 300 series switch to restart. The LED will be lit during reboot and then turned off. The Status LED shows status of the equipment; in special operating modes, it works as a special purpose indicator. The position of the RESET button and the status LED are different in Nimbra 340/340-HD and Nimbra 360, but the functionality is unchanged.
