1.6 Safety Notices and Warnings

These explanatory labels are included in this information for the user in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60825.1.

WARNING: Class 1 laser and LED product. A class 1 laser is safe under all conditions of normal use. Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from optical port openings when no fiber cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open optical ports.

IMPORTANT: Rack Mount Instructions are included here to call the attention of installation technicians to pertinent safety and warning issues prior to the the installation of the product as follows:

Elevated Operating Ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified in the 'DS-1010 Series Common Specifications ' section.

Reduced Air Flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Earthing — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

Overview

2 Overview

Automatic Failover = Constant Link State — Deploying in-line monitoring devices such as intrusion prevention systems (IPS) or bridge devices like VPN gateways and firewalls used to mean a potential point of failure on the network. When one of these devices malfunctioned or became overwhelmed with traffic, network outages could occur. This posed serious challenges when deployed on mission critical links.

The DURAstream™ Bypass Switch ensures your network’s most important data does not fail even when in-line devices do. Deploying a DURAstream™ Bypass Switch ensures uptime of critical links regardless of in-line device performance by diverting critical network traffic away from malfunctioning in-line devices until such devices are operating normally. This not only alleviates potential issues with traffic congestion affecting link behavior caused by an IPS, it allows maintenance and upgrades of attached in-line tools without network downtime.

The DURAstream™ DS-1010 10G Bypass Switch is an easy-to-manage external active bypass providing failover and TAP capabilities for data monitoring of critical Gigabit network segments. Each bypass switch offers up to four independent interface modules with a variety of media options (copper, fiber, and media conversion). Each of the four network modules operates independently to ensure link protection monitoring of one to four links at any time.

Line-rate throughput and real-time data forwarding hardware protects data and allows critical voice and data applications to perform uninterrupted and meet high demands for quality and security. Deployed with

an in-line monitoring tool, a DURAstream™ Bypass Switch creates a comprehensive solution for intrusion prevention.

Heartbeat Mode — The DURAstream™ DS-1010 10G Bypass Switch can monitor the health of in-line appliances by sending and receiving a heartbeat packet. A user programmable heartbeat packet can be injected into the monitoring port link to determine availability of attached monitoring devices or help determine delay due to high traffic volume. Even if a connected in-line tool is powered on, the bypass switch can automatically switch traffic around it until the device returns to normal operation. At that time, traffic is re-routed back to the monitor port.

Passive Mode — In the event of power loss, the switch closes to create a physical connection, which in turn, creates a passive bypass path to help prevent traffic interruption. Robust Management, Security and Logging Manage your switch using built-in CLI or GUI, including secure web interface over HTTPS. Supports secure shell (SSH), SNMP, e-mail notifications, TACACS+ as well as Syslog to enable consolidation of log data from multiple systems into a central repository.

Reliable and Easy to Use — The DURAstream™ DS-1010 10G Bypass Switch is simple to deploy, enables plug-and-play connectivity, and is compatible with all major manufacturer’s monitoring systems. Every unit not only comes with dual redundant power supplies to ensure monitoring uptime, the voltage of each power supply is continuously monitored for instances of power decline or outage. In such cases, the unit can initiate a switch to passive bypass mode.
