Nortel Proprietary
The Nortel Remote Agent Observe Card has 1 network interface (the C-LAN
interface). This is used for
•
browser access for Nortel Remote Agent Observe configuration and
•
parsing the RSM multicast stream in SCCS systems (SCCS Rls 4.2 and later)
The Nortel Remote Agent Observe Card uses the backplane interface to the switch
to download time-and-date messages from the switch.
C-LAN interface
The Nortel Remote Agent Observe card supports a single connector solution for
access to the C-LAN Ethernet Port.
Cables and connectors for the C-LAN interface functions include:
• The A0783483
(
NTCW84JAE6) Meridian 1 Large System I/O panel filter block
• The A0852632 ‘L’ shaped connector block (see Figure 2) Standard shielded,
CAT-5 LAN cables (<100meters) are required to attach the LAN ports to the local
network.
Caution:
An EMC shielding kit (ferrite- A0870556) must be installed on the C-
LAN interface cables to meet regulatory requirements at the installation site. The
ferrite must be placed on the C-LAN Ethernet cable during installation. Cable ties
are then placed to retain the ferrite in the correct position. This applies to small and
large systems.
Nortel Remote Agent Observe Card Adapter C-LAN (L-Adapter)
The adapter (see Figure 2) breaks out the signals from the I/O connector on small
and large systems to the following:
•
Customer LAN port (CLAN)
•
One RS232 port.
Notes:
1.
The C-LAN Ethernet cable must be connected to the port labelled T-LAN
on the L-Adapter.
2.
The Port Labelled E-LAN is not used by the Nortel Remote Agent Observe
card.
