6-slot/1U and 20-slot/3U versions. Chapter 2: Quick Set-up Attach the WAN Monitor to a power source. The front panel lights should illuminate. Green is normal; orange indicates an error. Depending upon the LAN options purchased, HTTP/SNMP management of the unit may be through either RJ-45 LAN Port 2 or through the SFP LAN port. - Page 7 Refer to the interoperability section of this document for more information Use only 75-ohm coaxial cables to attach the WAN Monitor to the DS3/E3 circuit. The monitor is attached either inline with each WAN circuit cable or, alternatively, to a WAN tap. For inline use, the WAN cable in one direction should be attached to the “In”...

The Monitor's management interface can be initially contacted at either its automatic link-local IP address e3switch.local as described below or at its initial numeric IP address described below. Note that after initial setup, an operator may have changed the contact IP address to a new value and the initial addresses below may not work. -

Chapter 5: Operating Modes and Configuration VLAN In some firmware versions it is possible to configure a VLAN ID for packets containing TDM data. VLAN configuration settings shown at the HTTP management page may also be set for communication with the Monitor's management entity. As shipped, the unit will accept management packets with any VLAN tags and attempt to respond to the same. -

Long cable lengths also require careful selection of cable type and attention to sources of external noise. Third-party fiber to copper media Monitors can be used with the E3Switch Monitor to implement fiber- optic DS3/E3 links; however, refer to the interoperability section of this document for vendors to avoid.***... -
Page 16: Lan Cabling
Chapter 8: LAN Connections and Performance It is highly desirable to leave autonegotiation enabled so that changing attached LAN equipment does not result in the new equipment defaulting to half-duplex if set to autonegotiate. Autonegotiation must always be enabled for 1000Mbit/s links. LAN Cabling It is important to use the correct cabling for proper operation. -
Page 17: Performance
Chapter 10: Troubleshooting The next most frequent source of problems generally arises from faulty cabling or connectors or incorrect cable type. Cabling must be UTP5 or better for LAN and 75-Ohm rather than 50-Ohm for TDM. If long TDM cable runs or an electrically noisy environment exists, high-quality coaxial cable will be required. The least frequent cause of problems will be the hardware of the Monitor itself. -
