11 CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2. Introduction The Pro Switching System is an advanced system for managing data lines and data networks. It has a broad range of capabilities and can adapt to small and large applications. Once you set up the system, it provides “hands-free” management.
12 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM Control/Software: • SNMP • PC (HP OpenView Windows) • ASCII character strings • Async terminal menus • Central control of remote test equipment • Provides database including network performance evaluation The rest of this chapter describes the features of the Pro Switching System in more detail.
13 CHAPTER 2: Introduction The line level has the following capabilities: • A/B switching • Two-, three-, and four-cavity patching (Refer to Chapter 3, Functions, for descriptions.) At the Rack level, the line cards are mounted in racks. Each rack has its own microprocessor-based control card.
14 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM Figure 2-3. Site Level. • system health check • database report generation • system security functions (software and hardware pass codes) • multiple site management (up to 256 racks per site; up to 256 sites per system) (Refer to Chapter 6, Operation, for descriptions.
15 You can insert and remove front cards without removing rear cards or cables. Figure 2-4. Front and Rear Car ds. 2.2.2 F RONT -R EAR C ARD C OMBINATIONS Each front card is compatible with a specific rear card. 2.2.3 S UPPORTED I NTERFACES The system supports the following interfaces: RS-232/V.
16 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM Figure 2-5. Mixing Connectors in a Rack. 2.2.5 L INE C ARD S WITCHES AND I NDICATORS Each Switching card has a switch on the front panel for manual control. Each card also has LED indicators. (Refer to Chapter 4, Components, for a full description of line card switches and LEDs.
17 CHAPTER 2: Introduction (Refer to Chapter 4, Components, for a full description of control card switches and LEDs.) Figure 2-6. Control Car d Switches and Indicators.
18 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM The displays include realistic front and rear views of the rack mount and the line cards. They show the current switched state of all lines and the status of monitored leads. The screen displays functional switch buttons. If you click on a displayed button, the equivalent hardware operation occurs at the site.
19 CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.3.3 A LARMING You can define failure criteria for each signal online, based on the sensing of SPACE, MARK, or NO DATA conditions and their duration. You can define different criteria for different times of the day. 2.3.4 A LARM B OX A port can be dedicated to let you connect an alarm box.
20 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM 2.3.10 O PEN C OMMUNICATION P ORT The Open Communication Port function lets you select one of the system’s communication ports to which a modem or terminal is connected. Then, via the PC, you can communicate directly with the connected device.
21 CHAPTER 2: Introduction PC or through up to 64 auxiliary communication ports mounted on intelligent serial multi-port units. The connections between the PC and the rack can be of two types: 1. Dedicated line between the PC and a site. The site is always online with the PC (hardwired).
22 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM If an alarm is generated or restored to normal in a rack at a dialup site, and the site is off-line, the dialup site dials the central PC.
23 CHAPTER 3: Functions 3. Functions This chapter describes the functions of the Pro Switching System, including switching and patching options and the monitoring bus.
24 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM Figure 3-2. Three-Cavity Patching. When you insert a patch cord into the MON cavity, it is connected to the circuit between the DTE and the DCE. This is a bridge connection, and the circuit is not broken. You can monitor the signals.
25 CHAPTER 3: Functions Figure 3-3. Four-Cavity Patching. When you insert a patch cord into the MON A cavity, it connects to the circuit between DTE A and the DCE. When you insert a patch cord into the MON B cavity, it connects to the circuit between DTE B and the DCE.
26 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM You can connect the monitoring bus to a line in any of three configurations, which correspond to the patching functions. You can bridge, break to DTE, or break to DCE. When you bridge a line, the equipment is connected to the circuit between the DTE and the DCE.
27 CHAPTER 3: Functions Figure 3-5. Nor mal-Through. Figure 3-6. Bridge..
28 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM Figure 3-7. Break to DTE. Figure 3-8. Break to DCE. 3.3 Configurations There are two types of rack configurations: 1. One-section rack: In the one-section rack, the bus can connect to all 16 slots (see Figure 3-9). By default, the rack you receive is configured to be a one- section rack.
29 CHAPTER 3: Functions That is, one bus connects to eight slots, and the other bus connects to the other eight slots (see Figure 3-9). Switch/patch cards provide AB switch with optional patch capabilities. Normally, you will place these cards in a one-section rack.

70 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM 6. Operation This chapter shows you how to operate the Pro Switching System using the SNMP application via HP OpenView. It explains the monitor displays through which you communicate with the system, and guides you step-by-step through the various aspects of network access and control.
71 CHAPTER 6: Operation The Pro Switching System map has five levels — overview submap, site submap, rack status display, line status display, alarm definition display — proceeding in logical fashion from most general to most particular. 6.1.5 M AP L EVELS • Top level: An “overview” submap that shows site icons.
72 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM Description Guide, which the hardware installation technician(s) have turned in. Master forms for these guides are provided in Appendix A. You must also have available the following for each: • Name for the network (collection of all sites controlled from the PC).
73 CHAPTER 6: Operation If you must use a new name for a site, delete the old site from the map and create a new site with the desired name. Frequent Saves Avoid losing data by saving your map frequently while creating it. OpenView works by keeping a permanent file and a working file.
74 PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM CAUTION Do not delete unneeded temp files while running OpenView! Alarm and System Event ASCII Files The system saves the alarm log in Paradox database files OVALINS.* in the OV directory. To save disk space between OpenView sessions, erase old alarm log files that will not be used.
