K3 Series

1U Rack Mount A/B Switches

General Description

The K3 Series A/B Switching system provide up to 3 AB switches in a 1.75 in rack mount chassis for 19”
Equipment cabinets. Each switch allows a common circuit (COM) to be switched to either of two circuits,
designated A and B. The switches can be controlled locally with a front panel toggle switch and remotely
by; contact closure, or thru a Serial port and Ethernet connection using Telnet, SNMP, or a Web browser.

Modular System

The K3 System consists of the K3 Chassis, Model K3-R and Power, Control and A/B Switch options.

Installation & Operation

K3 Chassis

The K3 Chassis holds the Power, Control and A/B Switch modules for the K3 system. It installs in a
standard 19” EIA equipment cabinet, requiring 1.75” (1U) of rack height. K3 systems are preconfigured
and tested in the factory. All Control, Power and Switch modules are pre-installed.

Manual Switch Control

A front panel momentary toggle switch for each A/B Switch installed allows local manual control.

AB Switch Status Indication

Two front panel LED's for each A/B Switch installed indicates switch position A or B.
Individual switch status can also be monitored thru the Network or Contact control interface.

Remote alarms or displays can be controlled by the status signal of each switch, which are provided as
form C relay contacts when the Contact interface is installed.

Power Supply Status Indication

The K3 has two LED indicators that display the current status of two power supply sources. These are
designated PS-1 and PS-2. LED ON Indicates the power supply source is connected.

PS-1 Internal Power Supply Module, or External Power Supply #1
PS-2 External Power Supply #2

K3 System Page 3

The K3 series supports both internal and external power supplies. Internal power modules are available
to support worldwide A/C power, -48VDC and +24VDC power requirements. External power supplies
provide redundancy either when used in pairs, or when combined with an internal module.

Power Supplies Modules

The K3 Series can be powered by several types of power sources using four types of power supply
options; 90- 240VAC 50/60Hz Internal module, 90 -240 VAC External module, 48 VDC Internal module
and 24 VDC direct.

Combinations of 1 internal + 1 external supply or 2 external supplies can be used for redundant power
applications.

Dataprobe offers the following internal supply modules for the K-16 series:

Control Modules

The K3 Series AB Switch System is available with three types of control modules; Network, Contact
Closure, or Gang Control Expansion. One of three control options shown below will be installed in the
chassis for remote control of the installed AB switch cards.

C-AB-16-R

C-AB-16-R provides remote control through In-Band and Out-of-Band operation thru
Ethernet TCP/IP and Serial connections.

WEB

Telnet

SNMP

Serial

TCP Messaging

Through a web browser interface, you can access the control card, obtain
current status information and operate the A/B Switches

Through a telnet client, you can access the control card, obtain current
status information and operate the A/B Switches. This is also the method
for setting configuration parameters of the card

The system can be managed by SNMP through standard management
software. Dataprobe provides a private MIB.

The serial port on the C-AB-16-R provides direct terminal access or via
modem. The A/B Cards are controlled either by a menu selection or by
command line strings (escape code sequences). Menu selections are ideal
for easy operator interface and the escape code sequences streamline
automated control.

A direct TCP messaging protocol is supported for direct computer
control of the A/B switching system

Installation

The Control interface is located in the lower middle section on the rear of the K3 chassis.

C-AB-16-R controller provides the following connections:

The
10base-T Ethernet. (C-AB-16-R

only) Network connection for access
to the C-AB-16-R card.

Serial Port. RS-232 port for out-of­band access to the C-AB-16-R
card.

Gang Expansion. RJ11 connection
for connection to additional card nests
for large gang switching applications.

External Power Input. Connection for
external power supply K-16-XPS-R for
single or dual redundant power.

Serial Port

The Serial Port on the control card is a 9 pin male connector, configured as a DTE. The following pins
are used. The following chart illustrates the pin out of the D9 connector and the connection required to
an external modem with a D25 pinout.

D9 Pin Abbreviation Full Name

Pin 2 RD Receive Data Pin 3
Pin 3 TD Transmit Data Pin 2
Pin 5 SG Signal Ground Pin 7
Pin 9 RI Ring Indicator Pin 22

For connection directly to a terminal, a Null Modem cable is required.

Configuration – C-AB-16-R

Configuration of the The C-AB-16-R involves the following steps:

• Setting The C-AB-16-R 's IP Address

• Setting additional configuration parameters using Telnet

Setting I/P Address

C-AB-16-R comes with factory installed IP address 192.168.1.254. In most cases this will need to

The
be changed.

Consult your Network Administrator to determine the appropriate IP address. There are several methods
to change the IP address.

• ARP

• Telnet

• Serial Port

• setip.exe program, available from Dataprobe’s web site

To set the IP address, the hardware (MAC) address must be known. This address is located on a label
on on the C-AB-16-R printed circuit board. The syntax for the MAC address is: nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn

K3 1RU AB Switch Page 7

Setting the IP address using ARP

To set the IP address using ARP, connect the jack marked 10Base-T to your local Ethernet network and
apply power to the unit. The computer used to set the IP address must be on the same physical network
as the C-AB-16-R . ARP does not work across switched or routed networks.

Windows (98 and Later)

1. Open a DOS window.

2. Type the following command:

arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address>

Where <IP Address> is the desired IP address (in dotted decimal) for the C-AB-16-R and the <MAC
address> is the MAC Address of the C-AB-16-R . The MAC Address is located on a label on the rear
panel of the card.

Example: arp -s 63.211.86.165 00-50-c2-05-01-c1 <enter>

3. Ping the C-AB-16-R to program the IP address into the C-AB-16-R .

Type: ping <IP Address>
If the ping command returns “host not responding” 4 times then the address has not been
programmed properly, or the IP or MAC Address is incorrect. In either case redo step 2. If the
problem persists, contact the Dataprobe Tech Support Hot Line.

4. Delete the entry from the ARP cache by typing:

arp -d <IP Address>

5. Ping the C-AB-16-R to confirm that it has been programmed.

|--- new IP addr. ---| |------- MAC addr. ------|

If the card fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the problem persists contact the
Dataprobe support hotline.

Unix, Linux

Consult your systems administrator for information on setting an IP Address using ARP. The unit should
be pinged after the IP Address has been set to confirm proper operation.

Setting IP Address with Telnet

For initial setup, the computer used must use the same network segment as the default IP Address, or
current IP address. (192.168.1.xxx) If this is not the case, use one of the other methods. To connect to
the C-AB-16-R using telnet, run your telnet client program (provided with your operating system) and
connect to the IP address as set in step one above.

For Windows: Select Run…Telnet
Connect…192.168.1.254 (or the current IP address)

As soon as you connect the following message will be displayed:
