Installation

Connecting the Probe

In-Line HSSI Connection

Connecting the probe in-line requires that the connection between the Data

Terminating Equipment (DTE) and the Data Circuit- te rminating Equipment

(DCE) be momentarily broken. Installation requires the addition of a new HSSI

cable to the network configuration.

Use the following procedure to connect the HSSI WanProbe to monitor a HSSI

system with a momentary interruption to service:

1. Disconnect, at the DSU/CSU, the HSSI cable between the T3/ES DSU/CSU

and the LAN router.
