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. The
predefined switching and backup tasks are performed automatically. If a line
generates an alarm, the system reroutes the data through a backup line and reports
the problem. Also, it lets you monitor and test any line in the network.
For remote management, the 2000 Windows SNMP OpenView 7.2 application
software lets you control racks via SNMP over IP networks.
The Pro Switching System features:
Functions:
• Three- and four-cavity patching
• A/B switching
• Single-line, gang, and group switching
• User-defined alarms
• Alarm- and time-triggered switching
• Remote status monitoring for testing faulty lines
• Break to DTE or DCE for remote test/access
• Non-intrusive bridging for monitoring
Hardware:
• Intermixing of switching and patching cards within the same rack
• Digital and analog monitoring buses
• Switching performed via latching relays
• Redundant power units with separate power feeds
• Dimensions: 19" (48.3 cm) wide, 8.75" (22.2 cm) high, 13.25" (33.7 cm) deep.

12
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
The rack level has line bridging and breaking via monitoring bus.
(Refer to Chapter 3, Functions, for descriptions.)
Figure 2-2. Fully Loaded Rack.
At the Site level, each rack control card communicates with a system
management device (for example, a PC).
The site level has the following capabilities:
• group switching
• scheduled switching
• default switching
• alarm monitoring (reporting to system management and selectively to
customer courtesy terminals)
• alarm-triggered switching, with or without fallback

• 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.)
2.2 Hardware Features
2.2.1 TWO-PART CARD DESIGN
A unique two-part card design provides flexibility. The front card (front-inserted)
plugs into the rear card (rear-inserted) (see Figure 2-4). Together, they manage
one data line.
Generally, the front card contains the switching and patching circuitry, and the
rear card contains the cable interface circuitry.

2.2.5 LINE CARD SWITCHES AND INDICATORS
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.)
2.2.6 CONTROL CARD SWITCHES AND INDICATORS
The rack control card has a five-button switch panel for gang switching (see Figure
2-6). You can enable/disable this function by a key switch. When you press a
button, all cards in the rack that have the indicated capability switch.
For example, if you press the B button, all A/B switching cards in the rack will
switch to B.
Switching is performed by latching relays, which, if the power fails, remain in
the last switched position and continue to pass data.
The control card also has a Lamp Test button to test the rack LEDs. A reset
button reboots the system (warm or cold reboot, depending on a DIP-switch
setting).
Control Card LEDs indicate Power Supply, Fan, and System Status.

2.3 System Management Features
2.3.1 HP OPENVIEW WINDOWS GRAPHIC INTERFACE
Pro Switching System software running on a PC under HP OpenView for Windows
mediates System Management.
OpenView is an open software product, allowing you to manage devices from
different vendors. It allows you to create a map of the network using a supplied set
of icons. A color code indicates the status of each device in the network.
The Pro Switching System network management can control up to 256 sites,
each comprising up to 256 interconnected racks. You interact with the system via
the map icons and a series of subordinate screen displays.
17
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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. For example, if you click on
gang-switch button A, a gang switch to A operation occurs at the rack (as long as
the key switch is in the ENABLE [unlocked] position).
The software also displays LEDs in real time. In other words, when an LED
lights at a rack, it also lights in the on-screen display.
If you click on the display of a line card, the system displays a window that
describes the line and the status of the monitored signals on the leads.
2.3.2 MONITORING/TESTING
Two common monitoring buses—a digital bus and an analog bus—provide access
for monitoring and testing each line with or without interrupting data flow.
Upon command, the system can connect a line on any rack to the rack’s digital
or analog monitoring bus.
When the monitoring buses of several racks are daisy-chained together, you can
create a bus definition, specifying the racks that are connected in this way. This
gives you easy access for monitoring bus operations. See Figure 2-7 for an example
of a monitoring bus.
Figure 2-7. Monitoring Bus.

CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2.3.3 ALARMING
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 ALARM BOX
A port can be dedicated to let you connect an alarm box. The alarm box responds
to alarm signals received by the PC, producing a visual or auditory signal to alert
you.
2.3.5 ALARM-TRIGGERED SWITCHING
You can predefine a lead alarm to trigger specified switching operations whenever
it occurs. You can also program the system to switch back when the condition has
been corrected. You can define different criteria for different times of the day.
2.3.6 SWITCHING OPTIONS
You can apply PC-controlled switching operations—manual, backup, alarm-
triggered, scheduled, and default (single-keystroke)—selectively to one line at a
time, if desired. You also can create and name groupings of sites, racks, and/or
lines to switch simultaneously.
2.3.7 NETWORK SECURITY
You assign each user a password and an appropriate level of access to network
operations.
2.3.8 CUSTOMER ACCOUNT IDS AND COURTESY TERMINALS
You can define customer account IDs for assignment to one or more lines and/or
racks. This assignment enables selective routing of status and alarm information to
one or more courtesy terminals. Customers viewing courtesy terminals can observe
what is happening on their own lines but not on the lines of other customers.
2.3.9 REMOTE PC
You can connect one or more remote PCs to the dedicated communication ports.
A user at a remote PC can perform switching, and can view and acknowledge
alarms in the same ways as the user at the central PC.

PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM
2.3.10 OPEN COMMUNICATION PORT
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.
2.3.11 OPEN CHANNEL TO MODEM
At the PC, you can open a channel to any online modem and communicate
directly with the modem for non-intrusive testing and diagnosis.
2.3.12 NETWORK HEALTH CHECK
To detect rack failures that preclude alarms, the PC runs a health check,
attempting to communicate with each rack. If a rack fails to respond, the PC
reports this failure.
Sites that are always online with the central PC are checked continuously. For
off-line sites, you can define a Health Check Schedule, specifying times when these
sites will be checked.
2.3.13 HISTORY FILES
All alarms are written to the Session Alarm History file, which you may display
and/or clear at any time.
Alarms are also written to a separate ASCII log file on the hard disk. Another
ASCII log file maintains a record of important system events and operator actions.
2.3.14 WATCHDOG TIMER
The optional Watchdog Timer application switches users between two computer
systems, substituting a standby system for a failed system.
2.4 Control Communication
2.4.1 RACKS AND THE MANAGEMENT PC AT SITES
A Pro Switching System rack that is connected via its COMM IN port with the
management PC comprises a Pro Switching System site. The rack connected in this
way is the Primary Rack. At this site, other racks called Secondary Racks can
connect to the Primary Rack via their communication ports in daisy-chain fashion.
The location of the Management PC is referred to as the Primary Management
Site. The Management PC can communicate with up to 256 Pro Switching System
sites. This communication can be routed through the communication ports of the
20
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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).
2. Dialup modem connection between the PC and a site (see Figure 2-8). The
connection is established when needed.
You can program communication ports from the PC to be either dedicated
ports or dialup modem ports.
Figure 2-8. Dialup Connection.
2.4.2 DIALOG WITH DIALUP SITES
Normally, all dialup sites are off-line. You initiate the dialing of the site’s telephone
number when you execute a command that requires communications with a rack
on a dialup site. When the connection is established, the remote site comes online
and polling starts.
From the moment you make the connection, you can send commands to the
racks on that site and receive status data from the racks.

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.
When the connection is established, the dialup site comes online. The PC
responds to the connection by polling the dialup site and obtaining information
about current status and configuration. Then, the PC disconnects the dialup site.
2.4.3 POLLING PROCEDURES
Generally, racks on dedicated ports are polled individually by the PC. However, if a
switching/monitoring screen for the rack is displayed, this rack is polled more
frequently in order to acquire “real-time” information about it for display on the
screen.
2.5 System Expansion
The Pro Switching System is flexible and modular. You can begin with a small local
system—a rack and a few cards. As your needs grow, you can add more cards and
racks to create a large site; then add more sites to create a global network. You can
incorporate new functions and interfaces as they come into use.

CHAPTER 3: Functions
3. Functions
This chapter describes the functions of the Pro Switching System, including
switching and patching options and the monitoring bus. The chapter also
describes the system configuration options.
3.1 Switching and Patching
The Pro Switching System offers these switching and patching options:
• A/B switching
• Three-cavity patching
• Four-cavity patching
3.1.1 A/B SWITCHING
A/B switches have three ports: A, B, and COMMON. You can connect the line at
the COMM IN port to the line at the A port or the B port. Figure 3-1 shows an A/B
switch in which the COMMON port is connected to the A port.
Figure 3-1. A/B Switching.
The switch uses latching relays, which remain in the last switched position if the
power fails.
A/B switches are available for use with the following interfaces: RS-232/V.24,
RS-530, V.35, DB15, RJ-11, and RJ-45.
3.1.2 THREE-CAVITY PATCHING
These cards have three patch cavities: COMP, MODEM, and MON. Figure 3-2
shows three-cavity patching. Normally, the DTE is connected to the DCE.

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. The circuits are not
broken. You can monitor the signals.
When you insert a patch cord into the COMP cavity, the circuit is broken and
the cord is connected to the appropriate DTE. You can test the connected DTE.
When you insert a patch cord into the MODEM cavity, the circuit is broken and
the cord is connected to the DCE. You can test the DCE.
Four-cavity patching is available for use with the following interfaces: RS-232,
V.35, and RS-530.
3.2 Monitoring Bus
The Pro Switching System has two monitoring buses: a digital monitoring bus and
an analog monitoring bus. You can connect a monitoring bus to any line in the
system, allowing monitoring and testing equipment to access that line. When a line
is connected to the monitoring bus, the corresponding card’s MONITOR LED
lights. Figure 3-4 shows a monitoring bus.
Typically, the DTE is connected to the DCE.
25
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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. The circuit is not broken, and you can monitor the signals.
When you break to DTE, the circuit is broken and the equipment is connected
to the DTE. You can test the DTE.
When you break to DCE, the circuit is broken and the equipment is connected
to the DCE. You can test the DCE.
The buses use non-latching relays, which return to their normal settings if the
power fails.
The monitoring buses are available for use with the following interfaces: RS-232,
RS-530, and RJ-11.

This chapter describes the Pro Switching System components and component
functions, and provides model numbers.
4.1 Rackmount Chassis
The Rackmount Chassis (SM700A) has 16 slots for front cards, 16 slots for rear
cards, one slot (the rightmost slot) for the control card, and two slots for power
supplies.
The Rackmount Chassis must include a control card and at least one power
supply (115/230 VAC) to operate properly. If you want power redundancy
(backup), the rack must include two power supplies.
Figure 4-1. Rackmount Chassis Front Ports.
4.1.1 CONTROLS
• Key Switch: A key switch on the front of the rack enables or disables manual
operation. This prevents accidental switching from the front of the rack.
To enable manual operation, turn the key to the horizontal (unlocked)
position (represented by the icon of the open padlock on the control card).
See Figure 4-2.
To disable manual operation, turn the key to the vertical (locked) position
(represented by the icon of the closed padlock on the control card).

4.1.2 PORTS
• COMM[unication] ports: On the rear of the rack, there are two
communication ports: COMM IN (DB25 male) and COMM OUT (DB25
female). For some system setups, use these ports to connect the rack to the
managing PC. However, for SNMP setups, use the 10BASE-T connector on the
control card to connect the rack to the managing PC.
• MON[itoring] ports: On the rear of the rack, there are two monitoring ports:
ANALOG (RJ-45 female) and DIGITAL (DB25 female). Use these ports to
connect monitoring buses together and to connect monitoring and testing
equipment to the buses.
• AUX[iliary] port: On the rear of the rack, there is one auxiliary port: AUX
(DB9 female). Use this port to set SNMP/Telnet configurations for the rack
when you can’t access the rack through the 10BASE-T connector (on the
control card).
• Power connectors: The rear of the rack contains two power connectors:
POWER 1 and POWER 2. Use these connectors to attach power sources to the
corresponding power supplies.

The control card coordinates all rack functions, communicates with other racks,
and communicates with the management PC. Each rack must have one control
card, inserted into the rightmost slot.
4.2.1 CONTROLS
• GANG: There are five gang switches: N, A, B, C, and D. When the key switch is
in the horizontal position, you can use these switches to change all lines in a
rack. If you press A, B, C, or D, the control card switches all lines in the rack to
that position. If you press N, the control card switches all lines in the rack to
the normal position. Use the NORM SET pushbutton to define the normal
position for all lines.
• NORM SET: This pushbutton sets the N gang switch. When you press this
button, the Pro Switching System stores the current switch settings of each line

as the normal position. Then, when you press the N gang switch, all lines
switch to the normal position.
• LAMP TEST: This pushbutton lights all LEDs in the rack. You can use it to
determine if an LED is operating correctly.
• RESET: This switch performs a warm reset or a cold reset, depending on its
associated DIP switch setting. A warm reset reboots the CPU without affecting
the operator-programmed data that is stored in CPU RAM (for example, alarm
definitions). A cold reset reboots the CPU and deletes all operator-
programmed data that is stored in the CPU RAM, reinitializing the system.
4.2.2 LEDS
• OK (green): There is one OK LED for power supply 1 (PS1) and one for
power supply 2 (PS2). When lit, this LED indicates that the relevant power
supply is functioning.
• FAN FAIL (red): There is one FAN FAIL LED for PS1 and one for PS2. When
lit, this LED indicates that the fan in the relevant power supply is not
functioning.
• LINK ON (green): This LED, when lit, indicates that the control card is
functioning and capable of communicating with other racks and with the
central PC. When not lit, this LED indicates that the control card has failed.
When the control card fails, COMM IN is physically shorted to COMM OUT,
bypassing the failed control card.

Front cards work with rear cards to manage lines. The front card contains the
switching and patching circuitry, while the rear card contains the cable interface
circuitry. The front card and the rear card mate when they are inserted into the
rack.
In a rack, there are 16 slots for front cards and 16 corresponding slots for rear
cards. The cards occupy one slot. The front cards are called Switch/Patch Cards.
SWITCH/PATCH CARDS
Switch/patch cards provide A/B switching with optional patching capabilities.
Switch/patch cards are available for use with RS-232, V.35, RS-530, RJ-11, RJ-45,
and DB15 interfaces. Each switch/patch card occupies one slot.
Controls
A/B switch cards have a toggle switch with two settings: A and B. To change the
switch to the A position, move the toggle switch toward the A setting. To change
the switch to the B position, move the toggle switch toward the B setting.
LEDs
Switch/patch cards have some or all of the following LEDs:
• Switch position (green): Pro Switching System cards, where appropriate,
indicate switch position. For example, A/B switch cards indicate if the line is
currently switched to the A or B position.

PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM
• Signals (red): Some Pro Switching System cards include LEDs that indicate the
current status of signals. For example, RS-232 cards with LEDs indicate the
status of TD, RD, RTS, CTS, DSR, DCD, DTR, and RI.
• ALM (red): When flashing, indicates that the line passing through this card is
generating an alarm condition.
• MON (green): When lit, indicates that the line is currently connected to the
monitoring bus. The connection is made for monitoring and testing
operations.
• BK (red): When lit, indicates that the line is currently broken. The break is
made for testing operations.
• TS (red): Not used.
• LP (red): Not used.
Patch Cavities
Switch/patch cards can have up to four patch cavities, which allow you to monitor
and test the lines. Normally, data transmission is normal through. That is, the DTE
is connected to the DCE. However, if you connect a patch cord to a patch cavity,
you can monitor or test the line as follows:
• COMP: When you insert a patch cord into the COMP cavity, the circuit is
broken and the cord is connected to the DTE. You can use this connection to
test the DTE.
• MODEM: When you insert a patch cord into the MODEM cavity, the circuit is
broken and the cord is connected to the DCE. You can use this connection to
test the DCE.
• MON A: When you insert a patch cord into the MON A cavity, it is connected
to the circuit between the DTE A port and the DCE port. The circuit is not
broken. You can use this connection to monitor the signals.
• MON B: When you insert a patch cord into the MON B cavity, it is connected
to the circuit between the DTE B port and the DCE port. The circuit is not
broken. You can use this connection to monitor the signals.

Figure 4-5. Switch/Patch Card.
4.4 Rear Cards
Rear cards work with front cards to manage lines. The front card contains the
switching and patching circuitry; the rear card contains the cable interface
circuitry. The front card and the rear card mate when they are inserted into a rack.
Rear cards and front cards that mate must be compatible. See the description of
the front card (Section 4.3) for a list of the compatible rear cards.
In a rack, there are 16 slots for front cards, and 16 corresponding slots for rear
cards. The cards occupy one slot.
Rear cards have ports that correspond with their applications. They also have a
slot number window that indicates the number of the slot in which the card is
installed.

4.5 Power Supplies
Power supplies allow you to supply power to a rack. You can have one or two (for
redundant power) power supplies in a rack. There is one type of power supply: the
SM750A. It’s a 115/230-VAC, 50- to 60-Hz auto-selectable power supply.

5. Installation
This chapter shows you how to install a Pro Switching System for SNMP
management.
5.1 Preparing the Rack
“Preparing the rack off-site” sets up the rack so that a technician can quickly install
the rack on-site, leave, and let the network manager perform the necessary
SNMP/Telnet configurations to the rack remotely.
To prepare the rack:
• Fill Out the Rack Description Guide (Section 5.1.1)
• Configure the Control Card (Section 5.1.2)
• Install Components (Section 5.1.3)
• Enter IP address into rack (Section 5.1.4)
5.1.1 FILL OUT THE RACK DESCRIPTION GUIDE
1. Make the appropriate number of photocopies of the Rack Description Guide
sheet (shown in Appendix A) for the number of racks to be installed.
2. Complete the information on the sheets for each rack. (See the “Rack
Description Guide Example” on the next page.)
3. Make two photocopies of the completed sheets.
4. Give one set of sheets to the installation technician. Give another set to the
network manager. Store the original sheets in a master file.

PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM
5.1.2 CONFIGURE THE CONTROL CARD AND DIP SWITCHES
Each rack must have one control card, which is inserted into the rightmost slot of
the rack. The control card coordinates all rack functions, communicates with other
racks, and communicates with the management PC.
Before installing the control card, you must configure its battery jumper and
DIP switches.
Figure 5-1. Control Card.
CAUTION
Cards are electrostatic-discharge (ESD) sensitive. To prevent ESD
damage, always wear grounding wrist straps when touching, removing,
or inserting cards. Store and transport cards in sealed, static-shielding
bags.
NOTE
Before installing the control card, the battery must be enabled.
Configuring the Battery Jumper
1. Locate the battery jumper pins, located above the battery and labeled JP1, on
the control card. (The control card normally ships with the battery disabled—
its jumper rests on only one of the pins, disabling the battery during storage
and transportation.)
42

CHAPTER 5: Installation
2. To activate the battery, connect the pins for a two-pin group by placing the
jumper across both pins. For a three-pin group, connect jumper cap across
the two pins labeled ON.
NOTE
To disable the battery on the control card, for a two-pin jumper group
disconnect the jumper cap across both pins so they rest on only one
pin. For a three-pin jumper group, connect the jumper cap across two
pins labeled OFF.
Setting the Configuration DIP Switches (DS5)
The configuration DIP switches set the following:
• Enable/disable rack password
• Cold/warm RESET button configuration
• Enable/disable NORM SET and N gang switch buttons
• Communication baud rate
Tables 5-1 through 5-4 illustrate the DIP-switch settings.

PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM
To Set the Configuration DIP Switches
1. Locate the DIP switch sets labeled DS7, DS6, and DS5 on the control card.
2. Use the DIP switch tables to set the DS7, DS6, and DS5 DIP switches. Tables 5-
1 through 5-3 show the switch settings and provide notes that describe the
DIP switch functions.
Setting the Rack Address DIP Switches (DS4)
The rack address DIP switches set the address that the management PC uses to
distinguish each rack.
Rack addresses can have any value between 0 and 255. However, each rate at a
site must have a unique rack address.
1. Locate the DIP switch sets labeled DS4 on the control card.
2. Use Table 5-4 to set the DS4 DIP switches. The table shows the switch settings
for each rack address.
NOTE
When assigning rack addresses, make sure that each rack at a site has
a unique address.
Setting the Password DIP Switches (DS3)
If you enabled the password DIP switch (switch 1 on DS5), you must set the
password DIP switches (DS3) to assign a numeric password to the rack. If you
disabled the password, skip this step.
The password DIP switches set the password that the management PC must use
when communicating with the rack. The password can have any value between 0
and 255. However, each rack at a site must have the same password.
1. Locate the DIP switch sets labeled DS3 on the control card.
2. Use Table 5-4 to set the DS3 DIP switches. The table shows the switch settings
for each password.
Installing the Control Card
1. Insert the control card into the rightmost slot of the rack.
2. Secure the card in the rack by tightening the screws.

CHAPTER 5: Installation
5.1.3 INSTALLING RACK COMPONENTS
A rack has 16 slots for front cards, 16 slots for rear cards, one slot for the control
card, and two slots for power supplies.
To operate, a rack must include a control card and at least one power supply. If
you want power redundancy (power backup), the rack must include two power
supplies.
Front and Rear Cards
In each rack, you can install front and rear cards for switching/patching.
To Install Switch/Patch Cards
1. Insert the front cards and tighten the screws. You need not fill all slots in a
rack or fill slots in any particular order.
2. Insert the corresponding rear cards and tighten the screws.
To Install the Power Supplies
Insert the power supplies into the power supply slots located on the front right side
of the rack. If you are only installing one power supply, you can insert it into either
slot.
To Power Up and Test the LEDs
1. Connect the chassis ground stud to ground. The ground stud is located just
below the power cord connectors on the rear of the rack.
2. Connect the power cords. For each power supply, connect one end of a
power cord to the power connector at the rear of the rack. Connect the other
end of the power cord to a power source. The rack automatically powers up as
soon as you connect the power cords.
3. Test the LEDs by pressing the LAMP TEST button on the front of the control
card. All LEDs in the rack should light.
5.1.4 ENTER IP ADDRESS INTO RACK
By entering an IP address into the rack, the network manager can access the rack
remotely and configure it for SNMP management after the rack has been installed.

NOTE
Once you enter the IP address into the rack, it is stored in battery-
backed-up memory on the control card and will not be lost when you
disconnect the power cord.
5.2 Installing the Rack
The on-site installation consists of mounting the rack into a cabinet, connecting
the necessary cables, and powering up the rack. The network manager can further
configure the rack from a remote management center via a Telnet session.
At each site, you can install up to 256 racks. For SNMP, the racks may be
connected to a terminal server using the 10BASE-T connector located on the
control card.
5.2.1 MOUNTING THE RACK INTO THE CABINET
1. Carefully insert the rack into the cabinet.
2. Secure the rack with screws at the rack sides.
5.2.2 CONNECTING LINE CARD CABLES FOR SWITCH/PATCH CARDS
Connect the cables to the rear ports, as appropriate for your application.
5.2.3 CONNECTING 10BASE-T CABLE
To control your rack via SNMP/Telnet sessions, you must connect the rack to your
LAN using the 10BASE-T connector (RJ-45) located on the front of the control
card.
5.2.4 POWER UP AND LED TEST
1. Connect the chassis ground stud to ground. The ground stud is located just
below the power cord connectors on the rear of the rack.
2. Connect the power cords. For each power supply, connect one end of a
power cord to the power connector at the rear of the rack. Connect the other
end of the power cord into a power source. The rack automatically powers up
as soon as you connect the power cords.
3. Test the LEDs by pressing the LAMP TEST button on the front of the control
card. All LEDs in the rack should light.

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.
6.1 Overview
6.1.1 SNMP APPLICATION SOFTWARE
You can operate the Pro Switching System using the SNMP application software
that runs under HP OpenView for Windows. The SNMP application uses the
OpenView graphical interface, which allows you to manage networks of devices
from different vendors, using application software that the vendors provide. The
SNMP application software is ordered separately (part number SM701A).
6.1.2 HP OPENVIEW USER’S GUIDE
You may already be familiar with HP OpenView. If not, read the HP OpenView
User’s Guide.
6.1.3 NETWORK MAP AND DATABASE
When setting up and controlling your network of Pro Switching System devices,
you will need to create a network map and enter information into a network
database. These operations are interrelated: you enter database information at the
same time as you create the map. This chapter guides you through this procedure.
6.1.4 MAP CONCEPTS AND STRUCTURE
OpenView Map basics are described in detail in the HP OpenView User’s Guide.
You will work with a map composed of two or more submaps.
NOTE
Map and Submap—In HP OpenView applications, a “map” is not itself a
single screen display or “page.” It is the name given to a group of pages
or “submaps.” Each submap is a separate screen display.
The map represents the network in the form of icons. The icons represent
network components and the sites where they are located. Icons are color-coded to
indicate status. Clicking on an icon allows you to access more detailed network
information.
70
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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 MAP LEVELS
• Top level: An “overview” submap that shows site icons.
NOTE
Each site in the network is represented on the “overview” submap by a
site icon. No site icon appears on any other submap.
To construct the overview submap, add site icons and enter descriptive
information about each site. Each site icon displays a label box for ready
identification. You may separately add other informative labels outside the icon, if
desired.
• Second level: Clicking on a site icon brings you down to a site submap, which
shows icons representing the rack at that site.
NOTE
Rack icons appear only on a site submap. They are not intermixed with
site icons on the “overview” submap.
To construct the site submap, add rack icons and enter descriptive information
about each rack. Each rack icon displays a label box for ready identification. You
may separately add other informative labels outside the icons, if desired.
• Third level: Clicking on a rack icon brings you into “eye contact” with the front
and rear of the rack (the rack status display). You see detailed front and rear
views, showing line cards, LEDs, and rear connectors.
• Fourth Level: Clicking on a line-card panel opens up a breakout box showing
the status of each lead on the line (the line status display).
• Fifth level: Clicking on a command button on the line status display brings you
down to an alarm definition screen. Here you can define lead status alarms for
the line.
6.2 Initializing PC Control
6.2.1 BASIC INFORMATION YOU WILL NEED
Before you can set up the database and the map, you need to obtain and list some
basic system information. Most of what you need is supplied by the Rack
71
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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).
• Sites to include in the network.
• Racks to include on each site.
NOTE
Default USER ID and PASSWORD: The system is shipped with the
default user ID as blackbox and default password as blackbox, both of
which are case sensitive. You must use these to gain entry to the
OpenView program. You must also use them to open a map, until new
Ids and passwords have been defined for one or more users. You can
then delete the default ID and password from the map database.
CAUTION
Once you’ve deleted the default ID and password from a map database,
the only entry to the map is via the newly defined supervisor ID(s) and
password(s). If no one can remember a valid password and ID, the map
is permanently locked and inaccessible.
NOTE
Under the Menu Bar item options, you can customize HP OpenView. In
particular, you can define a map as a default map. When you do this, the
OpenView program opens directly to the default map rather than the
vestibule. However, note the caution on the previous page about
deleting the password. If no one can remember a valid password and ID
for the default map, then not only the map, but OpenView itself is locked
an inaccessible. (To remedy this, edit the OVWIN.INI file. Delete the
name of the default map that appears after the equals sign in the line:
MAP=.)
6.2.2 PRELIMINARY NOTES AND CAUTIONS
Deleting a Submap
Do not attempt to delete a Submap by using the OpenView path Edit: Submap:
Delete Submap. Instead, click on the submap icon, then use Edit: Delete.
Renaming a Site
Rename a site only if you have not yet added any components on that site.
Choose site names carefully so you won’t need to change them later.
72

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. At start-up, it
reads from the permanent file and creates a new working file. Whatever data you
enter is resident in the working file until you save it to the permanent file, using
the Save function in the File menu.
Be aware that if you system crashes, any changes you have made since the last
Save operation will be lost. So save early and often!
NOTE
An asterisk after the map title indicates that changes have been made in
the working file since the last time the map was saved.
Backup Copies
You can make a backup copy of a map on a diskette by using the Save As command
and selecting the floppy drive (A:, B:, etc.). A 1.4-MB diskette will hold a good-sized
map.
You can also make a backup copy on the hard drive by using the Save As
command and giving the backup copy a separate name.
Delete Unneeded Map Files
If you save maps that you subsequently abandon, the unused files remain in the
C:\OV directory. To save disk space, you may want to delete the unneeded map
files. To do so, use the DOS Del command, and delete all files beginning with the
map name. (The map name is provided by a file ending in .OVM.)
CAUTION
Do not delete unneeded map files (using the DOS Del command) while
running OpenView.
Delete Unneeded Temp Files
Periodically delete all OpenView Temp files in the Temp directory. This directory
is defined by the Temp directive in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file (for example, SET
TEMP=C:\TEMP).
73

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.
6.3 Creating a System Map
The first step in managing your Pro Switching System is to create a system map.
You can set up the system via screens and prompts. The basic concepts are
described in detail in the HP OpenView User’s Guide.
A systematic and convenient way to set up a database and map is to begin with
basic System menu items. Then proceed to the Definition screens for this System
data.
Notepads (notepad fields labeled Notes), accommodating up to 800 characters,
are provided for sites, racks, lines, communication ports, and all definitions and
operations. You can use these to record information about the network while you
are creating the database and map.
To Create a System Map
1. Log on. From the main menu, choose System, Operator Sign-On, which lets
you log onto the Pro Switching System. Enter the correct user ID and
password.
2. Open a new map. From the main menu, choose File, New. A new map
appears.
3. Name map. From the main menu, choose File, Save As....
4. Add Site Icons. From the main menu, choose Edit, Add.... The Add toolbox
appears. Select Compound Object and Black Box from the dropdown lists to

APPENDIX C: HDX2000L Library
Appendix C. HDX2000L Library
The HDX2000L library enables a programmer to create an application that
controls remote Pro Switching System units with minimal effort. It provides basic
functions and alarming such as switching to a specific port or monitoring a
particular signal.
The library controls units connected to an Ethernet 10BASE-T network via
SNMP messages and sits on top of the Windows WinSNMP interface provided with
the library.
Library name:
Header file:
HDX2000L.LIB
HDX2000L.H
C.1 Functions List
All library functions (except Hdx2000Init) return 0 if successful and have at least
the hSession session parameter.
HGLOBAL Hdx2000Init(HINSTANCE hInst, HWND hWnd, UINT uTrapMsg,
long *plErr, long *plVersion);
Initializes the library (mandatory first call to the library). If successful, returns an
hSession handler to be used for all subsequent calls to the library. Otherwise
returns a NULL value and an error code into plErr.
hInst
hWnd
uTrapMsg
plErr
Handler of the instance of the application
Recipient of the uTrapMsg message

D.11 Bus-Triggered Operations
The following variables allow you to perform bus-triggered switching operations for
your Pro Switching System unit. In general, all variables having a common
“busTrigOpIndex” (which you select) are part of the same bus-triggered operation.
Bus-triggered operations allow switching operations across several racks. The racks
connect to the inter-rack bus and broadcast a bus code when an alarm condition
occurs. Racks that have user-defined bus triggered operations programmed for
that code will perform the switching operation.
The inter-rack bus connects racks to each other through their COMM ports; the
COMM OUT port on one rack connects to the COMM IN port on another rack.
Use DB25F to DB25M cable, pin-to-pin (type 2 cable).
