Preface
The Sun OC48 Packet Over Sonet Adapter Installation and User’s Guide is intended for
System and Network Administrators who will attach a Sun Fire™ or other
compatible system to a Synchronous Optical Network (SONET).
Before You Read This Book
The Sun OC48 Packet Over Sonet adapter uses the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and
the Spatial Re-use Protocol (SRP). PPP requires one adapter on each node. SRP
requires two adapters. Two SRP clock cables and a copper SRP data cable connect
these adapters to each other. In both cases, Sun OC48 Packet Over Sonet adapters are
connected to a SONET with fiber optic cables.
How This Book Is Organized
Chapter 1 describes the Sun OC48 Packet Over Sonet adapter hardware and
software.
Chapter 2 describes how to install the one adapter in your system, driver software
for PPP, and how to verify your installation.
Chapter 3 describes how to edit the network configuration file for PPP after the
adapter has been installed in your system.
Chapter 4 describes how to install the two adapters in your system for SRP, the SRP
software, and how to verify your installation.
