Selecting a Location
Select a location for your probe where it will be the most useful. The probe must
be connected to a LAN to retrieve data. The data that can be retrieved was
previously monitored from traffic present on the ATM where it is attached.
Consider the following installation requirements when selecting a location for
your probe:
z A flat surface that is large enough to support the probe (requires clearance at
rear and sides for cooling and rear panel access), adequate wall space, or
double high space in a 19 inch rack or cabinet.
z A grounded power outlet (either 100-120/VAC or 220-240/VAC).
z Access to a Fast Ethernet connection tap or to a Token-Ring network MsAU
connection (if the Token-Ring Telemetry option is installed).
z Access to the ATM connection to monitor.
z Access to an RS-232C connection (required only for Out-of-Band
communication).
z Access to a phone line and a modem within 50 feet (required only for Out-
of-Band communication using a modem connection).
NOTE The MAC addresses for the probe can be found on the rear panel. It is a good idea
to make a note of the interface and its address prior to installing your probe
because some installation methods make it difficult to see the rear panel without
removing the probe.
