Specifications

This appendix lists the specifications for the Agilent J3916A HSSI WanProbe.

Network Compatibility

Agilent J3916A
Base
Hardware:	10Base-T/100Base-TX RJ-45 and AUI, Telemetry Interface.

The probe can use either a Fast Ethernet network connection, an optional Token-Ring network connection, or the SLIP link to communicate with a management station.

Network Connection

The network connection is made using the standard AUI for 10 MB/s Ethernet. 10Base-T or 100Base-TX half-duplex connections are made using the standard RJ-45 connector.

The HSSI WAN network connection is made using industry standard connectors.

You can use the optional Token-Ring telemetry interface to connect to the network Media Station Access Unit interface (MsAU) by using the DB-9 connector and STP (shielded twisted pair) cable, or by using the RJ-45 connector and UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable. The Token-Ring telemetry interface configuration defaults to 16Mbps networks. Simultaneous network connections on both the DB-9 and RJ-45 connectors will result in a fault condition without damage to the Token-Ring interface.

Software Standards

Remote Network Monitoring Management Information Base (RFC 1757), SNMP MIB-II (RFC 1213 and 2233), SNMP (RFC 1157), and Agilent probe private MIBs.

Modem

Supports external Hayes-compatible modems from 300 to 38.4 K baud.
