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.
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. It also provides sample applications at the end of the chapter. Read this chapter for a more comprehensive understanding of the system. 2.
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.
PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM Network 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.) 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).
You can insert and remove front cards without removing rear cards or cables. Figure 2-4. Front and Rear Cards. 2.2.2 FRONT-REAR CARD COMBINATIONS Each front card is compatible with a specific rear card. 2.2.3 SUPPORTED INTERFACES The system supports the following interfaces: RS-232/V.24, V.35, RS-530, DB15, RJ11, RJ-45. 2.2.4 SUPPORTED CONNECTORS The system supports these connectors: DB25, V.35 “M” type, DB15, RJ-11, RJ-45.

CHAPTER 2: Introduction (Refer to Chapter 4, Components, for a full description of control card switches and LEDs.) Figure 2-6. Control Card Switches and Indicators. 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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. When you insert a patch cord into the COMP cavity, the circuit is broken and the cord is connected to the DTE. You can test the DTE. When you insert a patch cord into the MODEM cavity, the circuit is broken and the cord is connected to the DCE.
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. 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.
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.
CHAPTER 3: Functions Figure 3-5. Normal-Through. Figure 3-6. Bridge.
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 onesection rack. 2. Two-section rack: You can use DIP switches to split the rack into two sections.
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. Place the cards in any combination and in any order. NOTE Place the spare card in the rightmost slot of a section. Place the online cards in the other slots. Figure 3-9. Rack Configurations.
PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM 4. Components 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.
CHAPTER 4: Components Figure 4-2. Key Switch Unlocked. 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
CHAPTER 6: Operation 6. Open level 2 Submap. From your site level (top level) map, double-click on the Pro Switching System site icon. This opens a submap that lets you add components to your site. 7. Add Rack Icons. From the Add toolbox, select Component and Pro Switching System from the dropdown lists to highlight the Pro Switching System unit icon. Click and drag the icon onto the submap. A Rack Description page appears. 8. Describe Racks.

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: HDX2000L.
PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM int Hdx2000Exit(HGLOBAL hSession); Exits the library (mandatory last call to the library). int Hdx2000SwitchSet(HGLOBAL hSession, char *szIpAddress, char *szWriteCommunity, int cc, int pp); Initiates a switch request (will generate a SWI or GSW trap). hSession Session handler szIpAddress IP address of the target rack szWriteCommunity Write community name of the target rack cc Card slot number (from 1 to 16, 0 for gang switching) pp 1 for position A, 2 for position B...
APPENDIX C: HDX2000L Library int Hdx2000LineCommentSet(HGLOBAL hSession, char *szIpAddress, char *szWriteCommunity, int cc, char *comment); Changes the comment for a line card (will generate a LIN trap).
