Deploying the SG-9500
6.1
Connecting Network Traffic
The SG-9500 operates with one or two external Bypass Units. The Bypass Unit is a
mission-critical subsystem designed to ensure network connectivity at all times.
The Bypass mechanism provides ‘connectivity insurance’ in the event of a
subsystems failure. Bypass Units are connected to the SG-9500 by a series of leads
and cables.
Use the following procedure when connecting to the Network via the Bypass Unit.
1.
Before installation make sure there is traffic flow in the location where
you are about to install the In-line platform.
2.
Connect the bypass to the Network, connecting to the Router and Switch
via the Network ports for each Link.
The following settings should be used:

3.
Connect the In-line platform to the bypass with ethernet cables using the
System ports for each Link. Connect the Bypass management cable to the
Primary port on the Bypass and the USB port on the SG-9500. Keep the In-
line platform turned off while connecting the cables.
