3D500/1000/2000
Understanding the Sensing Interfaces
The 3D500/1000/2000 is a 1U device with four copper sensing interfaces, each with bypass capability.
You can use these interfaces to passively monitor up to four separate network segments.
You can also use paired interfaces in an inline confi guration on one network segment for the 3D500 or up to two network
segments for the 3D1000 or 3D2000.
Installing the Hardware
You can use the device as a desktop device, or mount the device in your rack using the instructions included with the
mounting kit.
The device boots up when it is provided with power. There is no power switch.
To install the hardware:
1.
Connect the power cord to the receptacle on the power supply at the rear of the device.
2.
Connect the other end of the power cord to an electrical outlet carrying 110/240 VAC.
Connecting the Sensing Interfaces
This section describes the physical connection of the sensing interfaces. After you cable the interfaces, use the web
interface on the Defense Center that manages the device to confi gure the device's sensing interfaces as passive, inline, or
inline with bypass.
See the Sourcefi re 3D System Installation Guide for detailed information on planning your deployment. After you have
selected a deployment model, cable the sensing interfaces as needed for your confi guration.
Passive Interface Cabling
For each network segment you want to
monitor passively, connect the cable to one
sensing interface.
Use this cabling when you want to confi gure
passive interfaces.

Inline Interface Cabling
For each network segment you want
to monitor inline, connect the cables
sequentially to interfaces 1 and 2, and, for
3D1000/2000, interfaces 3 and 4.
Use this cabling when you want to confi gure
inline or inline with bypass interfaces.
