Figure 3-2 Single SCE Platform Dual Link Inline Topology
This topology supports both monitoring and control functionality, and is referred to as “inline”
connection mode.
Single Link: Receive-only Topology
In this topology, an optical splitter resides physically on the GBE link between the subscribers and the
network. The traffic passes through the optical splitter, which splits traffic to the SCE 2000 . The SCE
2000, therefore, only receives traffic and does not transmit.
