INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Cabletron Systems SSR-600 Installation Guide . SSR
stands for SmartSwitch Router. This guide provides installation, basic
configuration information, hardware specifications and troubleshooting
tips for the SSR-600.
USINGTHIS GUIDE
Read through this guide completely to familiarize yourself with its
content and to gain an understanding of the features and capabilities of
the SSR-600. A general working knowledge of WAN, Ethernet and IEEE
802.3 data communications networks and their physical layer components
is helpful before using the SSR-600.
STRUCTURE OFTHIS GUIDE
This guide is organized as follows:
This Introduction provides preliminary information that will aid in using
this manual, lists technology and user’s guides that may help the user to
set up and manage the SSR-600, and provides instructions on how to get
help from Cabletron Systems.
Chapter 1, Overview of the SSR-600 , provides an overview of the
SSR-600 and its features.
Chapter 2, Network Requirements , outlines the network requirements
that must be met before installing the SSR-600 into a network.
Only qualified personnel should perform installation
procedures.
NOTE
Since most of the information in this manual applies to either
model regardless of the power supply, the generic term
SSR-600 will be used. If there is specific information
concerning the different models, either SSR-600-S or
SSR-600-D will be used as appropriate.

Introduction
xvi SSR-600 Installation Guide
Chapter 3, Installation , provides detailed instructions for connecting the
SSR-600 to a network.
Chapter 4, Troubleshooting, Switches, and LED Indications , provides
detailed troubleshooting tips using the LANVIEW LEDs on the SSR-600,
along with hardware information.
Appendix A, Specifications , contains information on functionality and
operating specifications, regulatory compliance, connector pinouts,
environmental requirements, and physical properties.
SSR-600 FEATURES
The SSR-600 is an access device that provides Ethernet LocalArea
Network (LAN) connectivity via two Fast Ethernet ports, and offers
high-speed WideArea Network (WAN) access to remote sites via two
Sliding WAN Physical Interface Modules (SWPIMs).
Refer to the appropriate Cabletron Systems software manual for
information on supported WAN protocols and how to configure the
SSR-600 using software.
The SSR-600 can be remotely managed with a third party SNMP
compliant network management system.
OPTIONAL FEATURES
Optional features for the SSR-600 include:
• Rack mounting: The SSR-600 can be installed in a 19-inch rack with
the optional mounting bracket kit (Cabletron part number
SSR-600-RCK-KIT). Refer to Chapter 3, Installation , for rack
mounting instructions.
• SSR-600-ECM auxiliary card. Performs encryption and compression.
• SWPIMs: Supports Sliding WAN Physical Interface Modules
(SWPIMs), including the SWPIM-T1, the SWPIM-E1, and the
SWPIM-SY. Check the Release Notes for further information on
available SWPIMs.
