Monitoring and Control—The SCE 1000 monitors and controls traffic flow. Decisions are enforced • by the SCE 1000 depending on the results of the monitoring functions of the SCE 1000 and the configuration of the Service Control Application for Broadband or Mobile solution.
Page 35: Information About Physical Installation
• Bump-in-the-Wire (Inline) Topology Typically, the SCE 1000 is connected on a full duplex line between two devices (Router, BRAS, and so forth). When the SCE 1000 is installed as a bump-in-the-wire, it physically resides on the data link between the subscriber side and the network side, and can both receive and transmit traffic (Figure 3-1).
Page 36: External Splitting (Receive-Only) Topology
3-2). In this topology, the traffic passes through the external splitter, which splits traffic to the SCE 1000. The external splitter is connected to the SCE 1000 via Rx links only. The SCE 1000, therefore, receives traffic only. It does not transmit.
Page 37: Information About Redundancy
A single SCE 1000 platform does not provide redundancy for SCE 1000 control functions. In case of failure of the SCE 1000 unit, the SCE 1000 simply bypasses the traffic; the traffic link is not cut, but no control or monitoring functionality is available.
Page 38 After this occurs, the failed SCE 1000 can be fixed/replaced with no downtime, since the box is effectively disconnected from the network. After fixing/replacing the failed SCE 1000, you must copy the configuration of the current active SCE 1000 to the fixed/replaced SCE 1000.
Page 39: Information About Failure And Recovery
Information About Failure and Recovery It is important to decide how the system should behave in case of the failure of the SCE 1000, both during the time that the unit is down and after recovery. This decision is influenced by several factors: Physical installation (connection mode) •...

Page 41: Link Failure Reflection Parameter
Link Failure Reflection Parameter In a single SCE 1000 topology, the value of this parameter is determined by whether or not the link can be completely cut when the SCE 1000 fails, or whether traffic flow should continue across the link in spite of platform failure.
Page 42 2. In a redundant topology, it is also possible to configure admin status after abnormal boot to be Not operational. In this case, though, the SCE 1000 would have to be manually reloaded to resume full functionality. Cisco SCE 1000 2xGBE Installation and Configuration Guide...

Startup problems are commonly due to the source power or to a poor cable connection. When you start up the SCE 1000 platform for the first time, you should observe the startup sequence described in Starting the SCE 1000 Platform. This section contains a more detailed description of the normal startup sequence and describes the steps to take if the system does not perform that sequence as expected.
Page 123: Troubleshooting The Power Subsystem
Check the following to help isolate a problem in the power subsystem. In the normally configured SCE 1000 platform with redundant power supply units, it is unlikely that the device will not start at all. However, at startup it should be verified that both power supply units are operational, and therefore the following steps should be followed if one of the Power LEDs on the front panel remains unlit when the SCE 1000 platform is powered up.

The SCE 1000 platform External Optical Bypass module preserves the service provider GBE links in case of complete power failure of the SCE 1000 platform, or for implementing a maintenance window. The SCE 1000 platform state-of-the-art Service Control platform is being deployed at ISPs, Cable and Wireless Tier1 provider networks, and is therefore required to comply with the carrier grade availability requirements of these mission critical networks.
Page 134: External Optical Bypass Functionality
GBE signals to and from the SCE 1000 platform. In case the SCE 1000 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 1000 platform, and thus preserving network connectivity.

Page 138 Power up the SCE 1000 platform, as explained in Starting the SCE 1000 Platform. Step 5 Verify that the relevant GBE interfaces of the SCE 1000 platform are now in sync, as the External Optical Bypass module is now active (in bypass), and is performing a loopback on these interfaces.
Page 139 How to Cable the External Optical Bypass Module The SCE 1000 platform immediately starts providing power to the External Optical Bypass module, so the bypass module becomes inactive, and starts transferring the traffic to the SCE 1000 platform. The “No Bypass” LED should therefore be lit.
