In this section:
This section provides information on connecting media (packet) ports, HA ports, management ports, serial port and alarms ports.
You must use the Ribbon-provided SFP/SFP+ modules to guarantee proper operation of the external ports.
Failure to follow this recommendation may cause permanent damage to the system.
The following SFP transceivers are compatible with SBC 7000 Management ports:
The SFP transceivers must be installed in Management ports MGMT0 and MGMT1 of each SBC 7000 server before making the fiber/copper connections.
The following SFP+ transceivers are compatible with SBC 7000 Media and HA ports:
SBC-SFPMM-10G: 10.3GB/S, MULTIMODE, FIBER OPTIC XCVR, LC, SFP, 300M 850NM, DMI GIG-E, SINGLE MODE, FIBER OPTIC TRANSCEIVER MODULE, LC, SMALL FORM PLUGGABLE (SFP), 10KM 1310NM
The SFP+ transceivers must be installed in the following media ports and HA ports (if using HA) of each SBC 7000 server before making the fiber connections:
The router connected to the Media ports MUST support 10 Gigabit speeds. Otherwise, the Media ports will not be able to communicate with the router.
Follow these steps to install SFP/SFP+ during initial installation. To replace an SFP/SFP+, see the CRU document SBC 7000 SFP Modules.

commands once the SBC application software is installed and the system is up and running (for details, refer to Show Status System).Verify management and packet port functionality:
> show status system ethernetPort
Verify HA port functionality:
> show status system highAvailabilityPort
If an unsupported SFP/SFP+ module is inserted, an error message similar to the following displays:
PNPS: Media1_P SFP/SFP+ detected not supported by Ribbon! Turning
Media1_P
off!PNPS: Replace
Media1_P
SFP/SFP+ with an approved Ribbon part to ensure NEBS. Replace the SFP/SFP+ modules to resolve issue.
When connecting a serial cable to the rear serial port of the SBC server for communication with a host PC, refer to the figure below for the serial port location.
The following table lists the serial port settings for the host PC.
The DB9 serial cable pin-out is shown below.
The SBC 7000 platform supports 1:1 active/standby nodes for high-availability by using dedicated HA links to interconnect the HA pair. The following table lists the network connectivity for the SBC 7000 platform.
SBC 7000 management interface details:
To establish the Management port connections, connect the CAT5e cable to the Mgmt 0 and Mgmt 1 ports. The CAT5e cable may be connected to a switch, router, LAN or WAN as per the customer requirements.
The physical connection between two SBC 7000 systems consists of a pair of single mode or multi-mode fiber directly connected between HA ports of each system.
The HA connections provides both box-Level and port-level redundancy system. The HA pair system consists of four management ports; two ports each per system. When a switchover occurs, the logical management address follows the currently active server. For the Media ports, the MAC and IP addresses float (are replicated from active to standby on failover).
A logical management address is the IP address associated with a Logical Management IP Interface previously created using EMA or CLI. See the following pages to configure a Logical Management IP Interface:
If using fiber SFPs for HA connections, both ends of an HA connection must use the same type. Connecting a single mode SFP to a multi-mode will not work.
The SBC 7000 ports, allow you to sense (Alarm In) and issue (Alarm Out) external signal. The Alarm Port utilizes a DB15 HD pin connector and supports 4 output alarms and 2 input alarms.
The current software release does not support the alarm port.
The following table lists the Alarm port pin details and their descriptions.
Each Alarm Out port is a dry relay contact. Each contact will withstand up to 60 volts DC maximum when open, and will carry up to 1 ampere DC maximum when closed.
Each Reset In port is an isolated, current-sourcing sensor which expects to see an external dry contact connection open and close.
No external voltage or current should be applied to the Reset In ports.
For proper operation, the total external load (wiring plus dry contacts) on a Reset In port must be less than 200 ohms. (Each Reset In port can source up to 20 milli-amperes DC of current maximum, and withstand a voltage drop of up to 7.5 volts DC maximum across an external load.)
Pin 1 is beside the Reset In text on the module face plate.
The ESD Susceptibility symbol warns of the presence of Ribbon devices susceptible to electrostatic discharge. Do not handle equipment without wearing a properly grounded ESD wrist strap.
