This section details the hardware capabilities of the SSR-600. 1.1.1 WAN Connection The WAN connections to the SSR-600 are provided by the optional SWPIMs. The SSR-600 supports certain WAN protocols depending on the SWPIM installed. Refer to the appropriate SWPIM manual for detailed information on the SWPIMs chosen for installation.
• The SWPIM-BRI provides an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) 64 or 128 Kbps Basic Rate Interface (BRI) for the SSR-600, and supports both the S/T-interface and the U-interface. The SWPIM-BRI can be used for Dial-up access. The SWPIM-BRI can also provide an ISDN back-up link for a remote site or branch office...
The RESET button is also used with the mode switches to clear NVRAM. 1.1.6 Console Port The console port of the SSR-600 is used to access software management by a direct connection to the SSR-600. Command Line Interface (CLI) is used to communicate with the SSR-600. Refer to Appendix A for the pinouts of the console cable.
This optional hardware data compression/encryption module accelerates data compression for the SSR-600 over Nailed-up PPP, or ISDN and Frame Relay with PPP riding underneath them. Depending on the packet type and size, hardware data compression provides data compression for enhanced throughput on each T-1 SWPIM interface.
World Wide Web site: http://www.cabletron.com/ 10BASE-T NETWORK When connecting a 10BASE-T segment to either of the SSR-600 ports, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3 standard for 10BASE-T. Refer to the Cabletron Systems Cabling Guide for details.
Chapter 2: Network Requirements 100BASE-TX NETWORK The two fixed front panel ports of the SSR-600 provide an RJ45 connection that supports Category 5 UTP cabling. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at 100 Mbps.
CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION This chapter outlines the procedure for setting up the SSR-600 and attaching it to the network. Ensure that the network meets the guidelines and requirements outlined in Chapter 2 before installing the SSR-600. Sections of this installation procedure may require the following items: •...
If you have purchased the SSR-600-ECM auxiliary card, it must be installed before proceeding. The cover of the SSR-600 must be removed to install this option. The SSR-600 cover does not need to be removed to install the SWPIMs. The Cabletron Systems Sliding WAN Physical Interface Modules (SWPIMs) can be installed before or after the SSR-600-ECM installation.
Installing Options To remove the chassis cover, proceed as follows: Disconnect the SSR-600 from the network as follows (if applicable): Unplug the power cord(s) from the rear of the SSR-600 chassis. Before performing step b, mark any cables connected to the SSR-600 according to their associated port numbers.
CAUTION SSR-600. Figure 3-2 details the board layout of the SSR-600 to show where the SSR-600-ECM can be installed. To install an SSR-600-ECM to enhance the performance of your SSR-600, refer to the instructions enclosed with the SSR-600-ECM.
Figure 3-3 WAN SWPIM Ports Refer to the applicable SWPIM Installation Guide for information on how to safely install an SWPIM in the SSR-600 to enhance the capabilities of your SSR-600. After installing your SWPIM, refer to the applicable software guide for information on how to configure the SWPIM to connect it to the WAN.
Chapter 3: Installation INSTALLING THE SSR-600 The SSR-600 may be installed on a tabletop, shelf or in a 19-inch rack. Refer to Section 3.4.1 for information concerning a tabletop or shelf installation. Section 3.4.2 describes the rackmount installation. 3.4.1 Tabletop and Shelf Installations...
Tools Required • Phillips screwdriver • Flat blade screwdriver 3.4.2.2 Materials Required The following parts are included in the SSR-600 rackmount kit (see Figure 3-6): • rackmount brackets (2) • 6-32 x 1/4 inch flathead screws (4) Do not use screws other than those supplied with the SSR-600 to perform the following procedures.
Locate the two rackmount brackets. With the faceplate, or front of the SSR-600, towards you, align the front of the bracket with the front of the SSR-600. Locate the slots that align with the rear flanges of the bracket. See Figure 3-7.
The SSR-600 may be mounted with the back of the unit facing out of the rack. In this position, the screws will be attached along the bottom edge of the SSR-600 (the SSR-600 must be right-side up). Otherwise, all other instructions apply, substituting the back of the SSR-600 for the front in the instructions.
200–240 Vac, at 50 or 60 Hz. The voltage is automatically sensed when the power cord is plugged in. To connect the SSR-600 to the power source, perform the following steps: Plug the power cord into the back panel of the SSR-600.
Chapter 3.6.1 Connecting to the Fast Ethernet Ports The two fixed front panel ports of the SSR-600 are 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports with internal crossovers. When connecting a workstation to the SSR-600, use a straight-through cable. When connecting other networking devices, such as a bridge, repeater, or router to the SSR-600, use a crossover cable.
(computer). A straight-through cable is used between hub devices. SSR600 Ethernet Port Other Device Port RX+ 1 NOTE: RX+/RX- and TX+/TX- must share a common color pair. RJ45 to RJ45 Figure 3-11 Crossover Cable RJ45 Pinouts 3-12 SSR-600 Installation Guide...
