The single link receive-only topology cabling is similar to that for single link inline, in that either the
first GBE link (first two ports) or the second GBE link (third and fourth ports) can be used, as illustrated
in the diagram above. The remaining pair of ports is unused.
Either port 1 or port 3 is used for connecting to the network element that is deployed on the subscriber
side of the SCE 2000 while port 2 or port 4 is used for connecting to the network element that is deployed
on the network side of the SCE 2000 .

Dual Link: Single SCE 2000 Topologies

In this topology, one SCE 2000 is connected to two full duplex, GBE links. The SCE 2000 may be either
inline, to support both monitoring and traffic control functionality, or receive-only for traffic monitoring
functionality only.
When one SCE 2000 supports two links, the first two ports are connected to one link, while ports 3 and
4 are connected to the second link as follows;

As with the single link cabling, inline topologies require both Receive and Transmit fibers, while
Receive-only systems use only Receive fibers.
Receive-only topologies can be implemented using either an optical splitter or a switch. If a switch is
Note
used, it must support SPAN functionality that includes separation between ingress and egress traffic and
multiple SPAN-ports destinations.
The following two diagrams illustrate the connections for dual links, with a single SCE 2000 deployed
for both inline and receive-only topologies.
