1.1 Product Overview

The SDM-8400 is a data-only integrated access device that supports multiple serial ports

and Ethernet. It increases serial port capacity at an enterprise network node while

minimizing the number of NetPerformer units required.

It can be used for high density serial port applications, central site satellite solutions and

other applications requiring serial port extension. To maximize serial port availability,

Ethernet is the preferred interconnectivity between the SDM-8400 and other NetPerformer

products.

The SDM-8400 offers all data characteristics that are available for serial and Ethernet

interfaces in NetPerformer software version 10.2.1 or higher. It provides bandwidth

optimization for both LAN and serial data, QoS, data compression, routing and

multiplexing.

2.1 About Unpacking the Unit

This chapter outlines preparatory steps that should be executed before you install and

configure the SDM-8400:

• Selecting a location (“Selecting a Location” on page 2-2)

• Preparing the site (“Preparing the Site” on page 2-4).

2.1.1 Selecting a Location

To ensure that the SDM-8400 functions properly, you should install the unit in an

appropriate location which satisfies certain criteria for size, connection distance and

ambient environment.

Caution: Unit must be installed in a restricted access location.

2.1.2 Size Requirements

• Select a standard 19" (48 cm) equipment rack or a hard, flat surface that is:

- Capable of supporting the combined weight of the SDM-8400, its cabling and

attached equipment

- Near an easily accessible AC power socket or DC power supply.
