Appendix A      The External Optical Bypass Module

External Optical Bypass Functionality

External Optical Bypass Functionality

The External Optical Bypass module is connected bump-in-the-wire in the GBE link. It is then connected 
to the SCE 2000 platform with two types of connections:

GBE optical connections for data link traffic — GBE connections from the External Optical Bypass 
module to one pair of the GBE line ports.

Power and Control connection — Connection to a dedicated connector on the SCE 2000

 

platform 

back panel, so the SCE 2000 platform can provide power to the External Optical Bypass module. 
(Note that the power connection also provides the logical control functionality.)

The External Optical Bypass module is normally inactive, (not in bypass), and simply transfers the two 
GBE signals to and from the SCE 2000 platform.

In case the SCE 2000 platform stops providing power to the External Optical Bypass module, or in case 
the power cable is disconnected from the optical bypass module, the External Optical Bypass module 
becomes active, bypassing the two GBE links to the SCE 2000 platform, and thus preserving network 
connectivity.

Figure A-3

 illustrates the operation of the bypass module when it is inactive (not in bypass). The data 

traffic is simply transferred through the bypass module to the SCE 2000 platform.

Figure A-1

Operation of the Bypass Module When Inactive

Figure A-4

 illustrates the operation of the bypass module when it is active (in bypass). The data traffic 

flows through the bypass module, and the GBE link no longer includes the SCE 2000 platform. Note that 
when the bypass module is active, it puts the SCE 2000 platform into a loop connection, creating a 
shortcut between the SCE 2000 platform GBE interfaces.
