Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Overview
The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router provides a high-end, high-performance, high-capacity Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) solution. The Cisco uBR10012 router is an aggregation platform that places a new level of intelligence and performance at the edge of the network, enabling cable service providers to maximize their revenues by delivering more feature-rich services to their customers. The system can provide high-speed data, broadband entertainment, and IP telephony services to residential and commercial subscribers using cable modems or digital set-top boxes (STBs).
The Cisco uBR10012 router is based on the Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS), which were developed by a cable industry initiative to ensure the reliable and secure operation of cable data networks. The router can interoperate with cable modems or STBs that support the DOCSIS 1.0, DOCSIS 1.0+, DOCSIS 1.1, EuroDOCSIS 1.1, DOCSIS 2.0, and EuroDOCSIS 2.0 versions of the DOCSIS specification.
DOCSIS supports the 6 MHz North American channel plans using the ITU J.83 Annex B RF standard. The downstream uses a 6 MHz channel width in the 85 to 860 MHz frequency range, and the upstream supports the 5 to 42 MHz frequency range. Each chassis can support multiple standards and multiple interfaces, allowing operators to choose the appropriate services and devices that optimize their capital investment with a single CMTS platform.
The Cisco uBR10012 router supports data and digitized voice connectivity over a bidirectional cable television and IP backbone network, using advanced quality of service (QoS) techniques to ensure that real-time traffic such as voice can be reliably delivered, while still transmitting other traffic on a best-effort basis. The Cisco uBR10012 router concentrates traffic from two-way DOCSIS-based cable modems and STBs that is transmitted over the coaxial cable television (CATV) network, and presents that traffic to local and remote Internet Protocol (IP) hosts over its high-speed network uplink interfaces.
The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router uses the same Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF) technology used by the Cisco ESR10000 edge services router. The combination of PXF technology with Cisco's CMTS solutions creates a cost-effective, scalable, and industry-proven CMTS that provides consistent, high-performance throughput that is optimized for high-volume traffic over a cable network.
Based on the Cisco IOS networking software, the router supports the most advanced networking and routing options. Also, with access to current and future software enhancements, the router ensures investment protection as standards and customer needs continue to evolve.

Comparisons with Other Cisco CMTS Platforms
The Cisco uBR10012 router is a next-generation CMTS platform with the following significant differences from the other Cisco CMTS platforms (Cisco uBR7100 series and Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers):
•
The Cisco uBR10012 router supports a larger form factor for cable interface line cards. The existing cable interface line cards for the Cisco uBR7200 series routers cannot be used with the Cisco uBR10012 router, except for the Cisco uBR-MC28C, which must be installed in the Cisco line card processor adapter card (Cisco uBR10-LCP2) before it can be installed in the Cisco uBR10012 router.
•
The Cisco uBR10012 router uses high-performance PRE modules as its processor cards. It does not use any of the network processor cards used on the Cisco uBR7200 series router.
•
The Cisco uBR10012 router is a high-performance, high-throughput CMTS router that requires high-performance network uplink line cards for its WAN connectivity to the Internet and other connected networks. It does not use any of the port adapters that are available for the Cisco uBR7100 series and Cisco uBR7200 series router.
•
The Cisco uBR10012 router does not use the Cisco cable clock card because the TCC+ cards include national clock support.
•
To accommodate the new architecture of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis, slot numbering on the router has been expanded to include a card and subcard numbering system (1/0, 2/0, and so forth). See Figure 1-4 for a diagram of the slot numbering on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.
Cisco uBR10012 Router Functional Overview
The Cisco uBR10012 router is a cable modem termination system (CMTS) that provides Internet, LAN, and WAN access for cable modems and set-top-boxes (STBs) over a coaxial cable connection. The router enables high-speed data services to be packaged like they are in basic cable television service or video programming.
The path from the CMTS to the cable modem or STB is the downstream, which carries the majority of traffic over the cable interface. The path from the cable modem or STB to the CMTS is the upstream, and it typically carries approximately 10 percent of the traffic that is sent over the downstream. A large number of users can be assigned to the same downstream, and for efficient use of bandwidth, those users can be split among several different upstreams.
For example, users who are connecting to the Cisco uBR10012 router through the Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable interface line card are typically divided between the two separate downstreams. Each group of users is then divided between the four separate upstreams.
The following sections provide a high-level overview of the data path over the upstream and the downstream.
Upstream Data Path
The following example describes the upstream data path.
1.
A request for service is generated by a subscriber. The modem transmits the request as a series of packets to the CMTS on the upstream.
2.
The Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable line card (or other cable interface line card) receives the packets on its upstream interface and forwards them to its onboard processor.
3.
The line card's processor verifies the header check sequence (HCS), frame check sequence (FCS), and system identification number (SID), processes all fields in the DOCSIS MAC header, and then removes the header.
a.
The line card examines and processes the extended headers (Request, Acknowledgement, Privacy, PHSs and Unsolicited Grand Synchronization header elements). If Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI) is used, the processor also decrypts the Privacy EH frames using the appropriate key.
b.
Bandwidth requests, acknowledgment (ACK) requests, and unsolicited grant syncs are reformatted and passed to the request ring of the Cisco uBR10-LCP2.
c.
The DOCSIS MAC header is removed and another header is added, which includes the SID, the upstream port information, and status bits that indicate whether any errors were detected.
4.
The packet is sent across the backplane to the forwarding processor (FP) or the routing processor (RP) on the PRE.
5.
The PRE performs packet operations such as access list processing, classification, switching, and QoS. It is also where major routing and IOS management functions (filtering) are run.
6.
The packet is moved to the correct output queue and transmitted over the backplane to the network uplink card (OC-48 DPT/POS, GigE) or another cable interface line card.
7.
The output card forwards the packet to the next interface point.
Downstream Data Path
The following example describes the downstream data path.
1.
Data packets from the Internet are received by the network uplink cards (OC-48 DPT/ POS, GigE).
2.
The packets are forwarded to the file processor (FP) on the PRE module.
3.
The FP performs MAC classification to determine the type of frame or packet to be processed.
4.
The PRE performs access list filtering, policing, and marking.
5.
A forwarding information base (FIB) lookup and rewrite happens.
a.
The rewrite consists of a downstream header and 802.3 MAC header.
b.
The downstream header contains destination primary SID, physical DS port number, PHS rule index, and some control bits and other fields.
c.
The packet is policed, shaped and prepared for queueing. Queueing is based on the priority of the queue and the state of the flow bits from the card. The destination card address (port) is prepended on the header of the packet being transmitted.
6.
The packet is transmitted over the backplane to the appropriate cable interface line card.
7.
The cable interface line card receives the packet and forwards it to all the ASICs on the line card.
a.
Each ASIC decodes the header to determine if the packet is destined for one of the downstream ports on that card. If so, the downstream header is removed and the 802.3 MAC header is saved.
b.
The MAC header is processed to determine how to build the DOCSIS MAC header and what operations to perform on the packet. These might include prepending the DOCSIS MAC header, computing the HCS and FCS, performing Packet Header Suppression, and BPI encryption.
8.
Once the packet is ready, it is immediately transmitted on the downstream.
Cisco uBR10012 Router and Cisco IOS Software
The Cisco uBR10012 router runs the Cisco IOS software, which is stored on the Type II PCMCIA flash memory disks stored in the two PCMCIA slots in the primary PRE module. A PCMCIA flash memory disk in either slot can store a Cisco IOS image or configuration file.
In addition to the flash memory disks, each PRE module contains onboard flash memory that is used to store a boot loader. The loader executes following a system reset to reload and execute the Cisco IOS software on the flash memory disks.
The PRE module also stores the system configuration in the onboard flash memory. The configuration information read from the flash memory is buffered in operational memory following initialization, and is written to the flash memory device when the configuration is saved.
Each line card also contains onboard flash memory that is used to store a boot loader, similar in function to that used on the PRE module. However, the line card loader executes following a system reset, line card reset, or line card insertion to reload and execute any code that must run on the line card.
Software images may also be stored on an external TFTP server. If the Cisco uBR10012 router is so configured, it then downloads the proper image from the TFTP server and executes it.
DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS Data Rates and Modulation Schemes
Cisco cable interface line cards can be configured in a number of different upstream combinations based on the card used, your cable network, and the anticipated subscription and service levels. Table 1-1 lists the data rates and modulation schemes for both DOCSIS1.1 and EuroDOCSIS 1.1 standards. Table 1-2 lists the data rates and modulation schemes for DOCSIS 2.0 and EuroDOCSIS 2.0 standards. Table 1-3 lists the downstream data rates.

Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Hardware
This section describes the Cisco uBR10012 router and router components.
Cisco uBR10012 Router
The Cisco uBR10012 router is installed in a standard 19-inch equipment or telco rack. A rack-mount kit ships from the Cisco factory with each router. The rack-mount kit includes the hardware needed to mount the router in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or telco-type rack. Mounting in 23-inch equipment racks is possible with optional third-party mounting hardware.
The Cisco uBR10012 chassis is designed for front and rear access. The two AC or DC PEMs, two PREs, the LCD panel, and the fan assembly module are accessed from the front of the chassis, see Figure 1-2. The eight slots for cable interface line cards, four full-slots for network uplink line cards, and two slots for the TCC+ cards are accessed from the rear of the chassis, see Figure 1-3.
Note
The Cisco uBR10012 router uses an auxiliary 2400 WAC-input power shelf for situations where 100-120 VAC is the only available power source. The AC-input power shelf converts AC to DC for the router. For more information about the power shelf, refer to 2400W AC-Input Power Shelf for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/ubr10012/installation/field_replaceable_units/ub10acsh.html

Caution 
The handles shown on the left and right sides of the chassis should be used only when lifting a depopulated chassis that does not have any PEMs, fan assembly module, or line cards installed. See
"Chassis-Lifting Guidelines" for more information.
Cisco uBR10012 Router Slot Numbering
Figure 1-4 shows the slot numbering for the line cards and TCC+ cards in the rear of the chassis. The Cisco uBR5X20S/U cable interface line cards are used in this example.
Figure 1-4 Cisco uBR10012 Chassis Slot Numbering—Rear View
Note
Half-height Gigabit Ethernet (HHGE) line cards use slot 3 and slot 4 only. These cards are used with a slot splitter that subdivides the slots so that they become slots 3/0/0, 3/0/1, and slots 4/0/0, 4/0/1.
Caution 
If you place a slot splitter and HHGE line card in slot 1/0 or slot 2/0, these slots shut down.
Figure 1-5 shows the slot numbering for the Fast Ethernet interface on the active PRE module.
Figure 1-5 Cisco uBR10012 Chassis Slot Numbering—Front View
Tip
The Fast Ethernet interface on the backup PRE is not used unless the primary PRE fails and the backup PRE is activated. When the backup PRE becomes the active PRE module, its Fast Ethernet interface automatically becomes the active Fast Ethernet interface at slot 0/0.
Note
The Cisco uBR10012 router also has an internal Ethernet interface, Ethernet 0/0/0, which PRE processors and line cards use to transfer packets between cards. This interface is not user-configurable, although you can see the configuration and run-time information using the show interface command.
Warning
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Statement 1040
Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Modules
The following section describes the modules used in the Cisco uBR10012 router. For a list of field replaceable units (FRUs) used in this chassis, see "Cisco uBR10012 Router FRU Resources".
Fan Assembly Module
The Cisco uBR10012 router uses a fan assembly module (see Figure 1-6) containing four fans to supply cooling air to the chassis. The fan assembly connects to the chassis through a blind mate connector that plugs into a cable assembly and then into the chassis backplane.
Four internal fans draw cooling air into the front of the chassis and direct it across the internal components. The air is exhausted through openings in the rear of the chassis. The fan assembly module works at two speeds:
•
Low speed (with a clean air filter)
•
High speed (with a clean air filter)
The operating speed is determined by the temperature of the fan module at the module air outlet. If the temperature at the fan's outlet reaches 40×C then the blower starts to increase speed. It does not reach high speed, however, until the temperature at the outlet reaches 50×C. Three LEDs indicate the status of the fan assembly. See Table 1-4.
Figure 1-6 Fan Assembly Module
Table 1-4 Fan Assembly LEDs

Status
|
Description
|
SYSTEM OK
|
Green
|
System is functioning normally, all fans are operating
|
SINGLE FAN FAILURE
|
Yellow
|
A single fan has failed, system triggers alarms, but the fan assembly is still able to cool the chassis—repair or replace the fan assembly as soon as possible.
|
MULTI-FAN FAILURE
|
Yellow
|
If two or more fans have failed, or if the temperature inside the chassis rises too high, the system automatically shuts down—replace the fan assembly immediately.
|
Caution 
Although the fan assembly supports hot-swapping and can be replaced without interruption to system operation, to prevent overheating, do not operate the system without the fan assembly for more than a few minutes.
Fan Assembly Cable
The fan assembly cable connects the fan assembly to the backplane. The cable is located inside the chassis, underneath the fan assembly. Ordinarily the cable is not removed when a fan assembly module is removed from the chassis.
Note
The cable has different connectors on each end. See Figure 1-7
Figure 1-7 Fan Cable
LCD Module
The LCD module provides real-time operating status and configuration information for the chassis and line cards. The buttons below the screen provide a menu system that allows you to display different parts of the system configuration without using a terminal. Figure 1-8 shows the Cisco LCD module without the chassis front cover.
Figure 1-8 LCD Module Display Panel
Note
The LCD module functions depend on the release of the Cisco IOS software running on your Cisco uBR10012 router. Refer to the release notes for the Cisco IOS release you are using, and the Cisco uBR10012 Software Configuration Guide, for details. See the "Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request" section on page xi.
LCD Cable
The LCD ribbon cable connects the LCD module to the backplane. The folded end is connected to the LCD module. See Figure 1-9.
Figure 1-9 LCD Cable
Performance Routing Engine
There are four models of PREs, the original PRE module that was initially shipped with the Cisco uBR10012 router, the PRE1 module that began shipping with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF, the PRE2 module that is shipping with Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9)BC, and the PRE4 module that is shipping with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB.
•
PRE1 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF.
•
PRE2 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC.
•
PRE4 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB.
You can use the CLI show version command to determine whether a PRE, PRE1, PRE2, or PRE4 module is installed in your system.
Note
The PRE3 is not supported on the Cisco uBR10012 router
The PRE is a single-slot module used with the Cisco uBR10012 routers. The PRE performs all Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet routing and forwarding using an advanced parallel processing architecture called Parallel eXpress Forwarding (PXF). This process separates the control plane from the data plane. The PXF architecture supports high-performance throughput with IP services enabled on every port.
Note
When replacing a PRE1 module with a PRE2 module, you must also install EMI gaskets and RF absorber material. For more information, go to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/ubr10012/installation/field_replaceable_units/pre2gkit.html
PRE Modules and PRE1 Modules
PRE1 modules support error checking and correction (ECC) for all onboard memory, replacing the simpler parity error algorithm of the original PRE module. A general-purpose RISC processor (262-300 MHz MIPS RISCMark RM7000) support highperformance Layer 3 forwarding of traffic. The combination of a general purpose RISC processor with advanced programmable PXF network processors provides the capacity to support the aggregation of thousands of active connections in a single Cisco uBR10012 chassis when supporting IP applications such as access policy filtering, rate-based queuing, and QoS.
PRE2 Modules
PRE2 modules are designed to address Internet service provider (ISP) requirements. The PRE2 has four PFX network processors (containing 64 individual processors) with two independent 32-MB SDRAM control memories on each processor set. The PRE2 provides 6.2 Mpps of processing power and has a 500-MHz RM 7000 mips processor with integrated 16-KB data and 16-KB instruction Level 1 caches, an integrated 256-KB Level 2 cache, and a 4-MB Level 3 cache.
Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC automatically enables the following features:
•
Route Processor Redundancy Plus (RPR+)
•
6.2 mpps processing power

PRE4 Modules
The Performance Routing Engine 4 (PRE4) is the fifth-generation Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF) packet processing and scheduling engine for the Cisco uBR10012 router.
PRE4 enhances the performance capability of the Cisco uBR10012 router to 10 Mpps by providing increased density Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and higher throughput of the 10GE SPA interface.
The PRE4 runs Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB and later releases. Benefits of the PRE4 include:
•
800-MHz dual processor
•
64 PXF network processors arranged as 8 columns and 8 rows
•
512-MB packet buffer and 128-MB control memory with error-correcting code
•
4-GB ECC-protected Route Processor (RP) memory
•
10 million packets per second (Mpps) forwarding performance through the PXF complex
•
5.6-Gbps backplane bandwidth for each full-height backplane slot
•
11.2 Gbps backplane bandwidth to each SPA interface processor (SIP)
•
Maximum transmission unit (MTU) support of 9216 bytes
•
An external CompactFlash Disk slot (disk0)
•
A 100/1000 Megabit Ethernet interface for communication between redundant PRE4s
Note
Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this document to the PRE refer to the PRE, the PRE1, the PRE2, or the PRE4 modules. The PRE is now end-of-life (EOL) and is replaced by the PRE1, PRE2, or PRE4.
Redundant PRE Modules
The PRE module supports redundant operation (two PRE modules in a Cisco uBR10012 chassis). If the primary PRE fails, the secondary PRE automatically takes over operation of the chassis. Because all Cisco uBR10012 line cards are physically connected to both the primary and secondary PRE modules, a switchover of PRE modules does not require human intervention to reset the line cards, as they automatically fail over to the redundant PRE. The PRE module is hot-swappable if there is a redundant PRE module in the chassis.
Caution 
You cannot use different models of the PRE in the same chassis. If you have PRE2 modules and you wish to upgrade, you must upgrade both of your PREs to the PRE4s. You cannot use a PRE1 or a PRE2 and a PRE4 in the same system.

Connector Ports
The faceplate on the PRE contains three ports with RJ-45 connectors:
•
Console port—This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port is used to connect a terminal to the PRE for local administrative access.
•
Auxiliary port (AUX)—This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port is used to connect a modem to the PRE for remote administrative access.
•
Fast Ethernet port—This Fast Ethernet port is used to connect the PRE to a 10/100Base-T network management LAN.
Note
The Fast Ethernet interface on the PRE module is intended for network management access and should not be used for WAN connectivity purposes. For WAN connections, use the appropriate network uplink cards, which take full advantage of the system's high-performance PXF processing subsystem.
PC Media Card Slots
Two PC media card slots (one CompactFlash Disk slot for the PRE4) can store the Cisco IOS image or a system configuration file on a PC media card or CompactFlash Disk. The system can also boot from the software stored on the PC media card or CompactFlash Disk. The PC media card slots support Type I or Type II cards. See the "Removing and Installing a PC Media Card" section on page 33 for more information about inserting and removing PC media cards from the PRE.
LCD Screens
The two LCD screens below the PC media card slots display alphanumeric information about the status of the of the PRE module.
PRE LED Indicators and Buttons
LEDs on the faceplate of the PRE provide a visual indication of the status of PRE operation (see Figure 1-10). The LEDs are separated into three categories: alarms, status, and failure.
•
ALARM—Alarm relay contacts on the Cisco uBR10012 router connect the router to a site alarm maintenance system. This allows critical, major, and minor alarms generated by the Cisco uBR10012 router to be displayed on the PRE faceplate and also translated to external visual or audible alarms connected to the system. See the "Connecting Alarm Indicators" section on page 3-31 for more information about alarm connections. Pressing the alarm cutoff (ACO) button on the (primary) PRE during an alarm condition shuts off the external alarm, but does not deactivate the alarm LEDs on the PRE faceplate. Alarm LEDs on the faceplate are deactivated only after the condition that caused the alarm is corrected.
•
STATUS—Indicates the status of the PRE.
•
FAIL—Indicates that a major failure has disabled the PRE.

In particular, never dispose of lithium batteries or products containing lithium batteries in an unregulated fire. Other restrictions might apply in your area.
Warning
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Statement 1040.
SIP and SPA Compatibility
The Cisco uBR10012 router currently supports the following SIPs:
•
Cisco Wideband SIP for the Cisco Wideband SPA
•
Cisco 10000 Series SPA Interface Processor-600
The Cisco Wideband SIP can support up to two Cisco Wideband SPAs. The Cisco uBR10012 router can support up to six SPAs. For more information about the introduction of support for different SIPs and SPAs, refer to the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router SIP and SPA Software Configuration Guide at the following location:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/shared_port_adapters/configuration/ubr10012/12.3_23_bc/sipsp_d3.html
DC Power Entry Modules
The Cisco uBR10012 router ships with two DC power entry modules (DC PEMs) The PEMs receive -48/-60 VDC power through separate terminal blocks underneath each PEM. The two DC PEMs provide filtered, redundant, and loadshared DC power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. If one DC PEM fails, the other PEM immediately begins providing the required power to the system.
Although one DC PEM can provide sufficient power for a fully configured Cisco uBR10012 chassis, the system should not be run for an extended period time with only one DC PEM. If a DC PEM fails, install a replacement DC PEM as soon as possible.
There are two models of the DC PEM. Figure 1-13 shows the DC PEM with the original faceplate (on the left) and the DC PEM with the connector used for the power supply monitoring cables (on the right). The power supply monitoring cables connect to the optional 2400W AC-input power shelf.
The optional AC-input power shelf provides DC power to the Cisco uBR10012 router when a DC power outlet is unavailable or where AC power is desired. For information about the AC-input power shelf, refer to 2400W AC-Input Power Shelf for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/ubr10012/installation/field_replaceable_units/ub10acsh.html
Figure 1-13 DC PEM Faceplate (Original Model) and DC PEM Faceplate with Alarm Connector
Caution 
The two handles on the DC PEM are for removing and inserting the PEM into the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. Do not attempt to lift the Cisco uBR10012 chassis by using these handles.
Tip
When using the external AC-input power shelf and Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF or later release, the show environment command provides information on whether a power module in the power shelf is missing, is reporting a fault, is experiencing an over-temperature condition, or is not receiving AC input power.
If you are not using the optional 2400W AC-input power shelf, the two models of DC PEM are identical.
Note
The power supply monitoring cable (product order number UBR10-PWR-MON-CAB=, part number 72-3505-01) for the Cisco uBR10012 router DC PEMs is not the same cable that is used for the similar connection on the Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway (part number 72-2673-01).

AC Power Entry Modules
The Cisco uBR10012 router ships with two AC power entry modules (AC PEMs) that provide a redundant power supply to the system. One AC PEM can provide sufficient power for a fully configured chassis, so that if one AC PEM fails, the other automatically begins providing power for the entire router, without impacting system operations.
Note
You must use Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF1, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)BC1a, or a later release when using the AC PEM. If using an earlier release, the show environment command will not correctly identify the AC PEM's error messages.
Caution 
The Cisco uBR10012 router does not support mixing AC and DC PEMs. Both PEMs must be either AC PEMs or DC PEMs.
The AC PEMs use standard 200-240 VAC (50/60 Hz) input power obtained through power receptacles on the front panel of each PEM. The two AC PEMs convert the AC power to provide filtered, redundant, and load shared DC power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.
Caution 
The AC PEMs cannot be used with a 100-120 VAC input power source.
Tip
You do not need to shut down the Cisco uBR10012 router to replace a redundant AC PEM. If you are replacing both AC PEMs, you can replace one, bring it online, and then replace the other one to avoid shutting down the system.
Although one AC PEM can provide sufficient power for a fully configured Cisco uBR10012 chassis, the system should not be run for an extended period of time with only one AC PEM. If an AC PEM fails, install a replacement AC PEM as soon as possible. For proper airflow (see Figure 1-15), cooling, and safety, do not remove the failed unit until the replacement unit is available for installation.
Tip
For fully redundant power protection, use either an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a separate AC-input power source for each AC PEM.
Figure 1-14 shows the front panel of the AC PEM.
Figure 1-14 AC PEM Faceplate
Caution 
The two handles on the front of the AC PEM are for removing and inserting the PEM into the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. Do not attempt to lift the Cisco uBR10012 chassis by using these handles.

Airflow
The PEMs (both AC and DC) work together with the fan assembly module to ensure that the Cisco uBR10012 chassis is properly cooled during normal operation.
Figure 1-15 shows the airflow through the Cisco uBR10012 chassis when dual PEMs are installed.
Note
Figure 1-15 shows the Cisco uBR10012 chassis without the front bezel installed, but the front bezel should be installed during normal operation so that the air filter in the bezel can filter the incoming air before it enters the chassis.

Timing, Communication, and Control Plus Card
On the Cisco uBR10012 router, the Timing, Communication, and Control Plus (TCC+) card acts as a secondary processor that performs the following functions:
•
Generates and distributes 10.24 MHz clock references to each of the cable interface line cards.
•
Generates and distributes 32-bit time-stamp references to each of the cable interface line cards.
•
Allows software to power off independently any or all of the cable interface line cards.
•
Drives the LCD module used to display system configuration and status information.
•
Monitors the supply power used by the chassis.
•
Provides two redundant RJ-45 ports for external timing clock reference inputs such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) or building integrated timing supplies (BITS) clock.
When two TCC+ cards are installed, they are configured as active and backup (redundant). If the TCC+ card in the first slot is working at system power-up, it automatically becomes the active card and the TCC+ card in the second slot becomes the backup card. The TCC+ cards monitor each other's priority information so that if the active card fails, the active card role is transferred to the redundant backup card without lose of data.
Each TCC+ card contains two RJ-45 connectors on its faceplate labeled Primary and Secondary. These connectors are for a primary and secondary (redundant) Stratum 3 external clock reference source that is traceable to a Stratum 1 clock source. The external reference source allows the Cisco uBR10012 reference clock to be synchronized to the Stratum 1 clock source, providing a free-running DOCSIS-quality clock reference and time stamp to the cable interface line cards.
Caution 
The TCC+ card can connect only to a national clock source such as a GPS receiver or BITS clock. The Cisco uBR10012 router does not support connecting the RJ-45 connectors on the TCC+ cards directly to an outside plant line or telco-provided T1/E1 clock source. You can use an outside or telco-provided T1/E1 clock source only by connecting the source to the TCC+ cards using a CSU/DSU or other equipment that is approved to FCC part 68 and ANSI/UL1950 for the connection to the PSTN.
If present, the primary external clock reference on the active TCC+ card is used. If it is lost, the secondary clock reference on the active TCC+ card is used. If the active TCC+ card stops functioning, control is transferred to the backup TCC+ card, which then uses its primary and secondary clock reference sources. If neither card has a valid clock reference source, the active TCC+ card uses its own internal clock to provide the DOCSIS-quality clock reference and time stamp.
Note
You do not need to provide any external clock reference source to the TCC+ cards. However, you must always have at least one functioning TCC+ card installed in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis to ensure proper systems operation.
Figure 1-23 shows the faceplate of the TCC+ card. The handle provides for the insertion and removal of the card from the chassis.
Caution 
Do not attempt to lift the chassis using one of these handles.

TCC+ Card LEDs
The faceplate on the TCC+ card has seven LEDs labeled POWER, STATUS, MAINT, PRESENT, and ACTIVE. Separate PRESENT and ACTIVE LEDs are associated with the primary and secondary external clock reference inputs.

Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC16x (C, E, S) Cable Interface Line Cards
Note
The Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC16x (C, E, S) cable interface line cards are end of sale. For additional information, refer to END-OF-LIFE NOTICE, NO. 2600 at the following location:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/video/ps8806/ps5684/ps2209/prod_end-of-life_notice0900aecd80183921.html
The Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC16x cable interface line cards together with external IF-to-RF upconverters, serve as the RF interface between the cable headend and DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS-based cable modems.
The Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC16x cable interface line cards are a combination of two components:
•
Cisco uBR-MC16x cable interface line cards—Provide one downstream and six upstreams channels.
–
Cisco uBR-MC16C and Cisco uBR-MC16S support cable modems and set-top boxes that operate according to the Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS). DOCSIS supports the 6-MHz North American channel plans using the ITU J.83 Annex B RF standard. The downstream uses a 6 MHz channel width in the 85- to 860-MHz frequency range, and the upstream supports the 5- to 42-MHz frequency range.
Note
The Cisco uBR-MC16S main board also includes a daughter card that provides the advanced hardware-based spectrum management feature. This daughter card is an integral part of the card assembly and cannot be removed in the field.
–
Cisco uBR-MC16E supports cable modems and set-top boxes that operate according to the European DOCSIS specifications (EuroDOCSIS). EuroDOCSIS supports the 8 MHz Phase Alternating Line (PAL) and SEquential Couleur Avec Memoire (SECAM) channel plans using the ITU J.112 Annex A RF standard. The downstream uses an 8 MHz channel width in the 85 to 860 MHz frequency range, and the upstream supports multiple channel widths in the 5 to 65 MHz frequency range.
•
Cisco Line Card Processor (Cisco uBR10-LCP2) adapter card—Provides the mechanical and electrical conversions necessary for the Cisco uBR-MC16C, Cisco uBR-MC16S, or the Cisco uBR-MC16E cable interface line card to fit the form factor used in the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router chassis.

Note
There are two types of Cisco uBR-LCP adapter cards, LCP and LCP2. The LCP is the original adapter card shipped with the Cisco uBR10-LCP-MC16x card. (Installation information about the LCP adapter card also applies to the LCP2 adapter card.) The Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card replaces the LCP adapter card. The upgrade to the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 increases the memory from 64- to 256-MB. The upgrade supports N+1 requirements when the card is used as a redundant or protect card. There are no problems with the original LCP version if the card is used as the operating card. See the Proactive Upgrade Field Notice number 18301 at the following URL:
http://www-tac.cisco.com/Support_Library/field_alerts/fn18103.html
The Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card and the Cisco uBR10-MC16x cable interface line cards (MC16C, MC16E, and MC16S) are mechanically connected to each other by means of brackets and power connectors (see Figure 1-17). The Cisco uBR10-LCP2 not only adapts the cable interface line card to the form factor of the Cisco uBR10012 series chassis, but also provides the following:
•
Proper voltage conversion for the cards and chassis
•
Boot code required to use the cable interface line cards
•
SDRAM for buffering packets as they are transferred between the card and the PRE
The cards are inserted into and removed from the Cisco uBR10012 series chassis as a single logical and physical unit. All Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC16x cable interface line cards support Online Insertion and Removal (OIR). OIR uses the MAC address assigned to the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card, allowing you to replace any Cisco uBR10-MC16x cable interface line card installed on the adapter card without losing the configuration information.
Caution 
Do not attempt to separate or remove the cable interface line card from the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card while the adapter card is inserted in the router. Remove the cards from the chassis as a unit and then separate them on a lab bench or other area that protects against ESD damage.
Figure 1-17 shows the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card with the Cisco uBR-MC16C cable interface line card installed.

Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C Cable Interface Line Card
The Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable interface line card is a combination of two components:
•
Cisco uBR-MC28C—Provides two downstreams and eight upstreams, divided into two domains. The cards are functionally identical, but the Cisco uBR-MC28C card uses industry-standard F-connectors.
•
Cisco Line Card Processor (Cisco uBR10-LCP2) adapter card—Provides the mechanical and electrical conversions necessary for the Cisco uBR-MC28C cable interface line card to fit the form factor used in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.
Note
Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this document to the Cisco uBR-MC28C and Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C line cards also refer to the BNC versions of these cards.
The Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card and the Cisco uBR-MC28C line card are mechanically connected to each other by means of brackets and a bus connector. The LCP not only adapts the Cisco uBR-MC28C line card to the form factor of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis, but also provides the proper voltage conversion for the card and chassis, the boot code required to use the Cisco uBR-MC28C, and SDRAM for buffering packets as they are transferred between the line card and PRE.
The two cards are inserted into and removed from the Cisco uBR10012 chassis as a single logical and physical unit. The Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable interface line card supports Online Insertion and Removal (OIR). The OIR uses the MAC address assigned to the adapter card, allowing you to replace a Cisco uBR-MC28C on a LCP2 adapter card without losing any configuration information.
Caution 
Do not attempt to separate or remove the Cisco uBR-MC28C card from the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card while the two cards are inserted in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. The cards must be removed from the chassis as a unit and then separated on a lab bench or other area that protects against ESD damage.
The Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable interface line cards, together with external IF/RF upconverters, serve as the RF interface between the cable headend and DOCSIS-based cable modems and set-top boxes (STBs). The Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable interface line card supports 6 MHz National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) channel operation, using standard (STD), Harmonic Related Carrier (HRC), or Incremental Related Carrier (IRC) frequency plans conforming to EIA-S542. The card supports downstream channels in the 54 to 860 MHz range with upstream ranges of 5 to 42 MHz.
The cards' two downstream ports and eight upstream ports support the modulations shown in Table 1-13:

|
Default modulations:
•
64 quadrature amplitude modulations (QAM) for downstream
•
quadrature amplitude phase-shift keying (QPSK) for upstream
The 256 QAM modulation can be used for the downstream and the 16 QAM modulation for the upstream only if the cable plant can support the higher carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) thresholds required for these modulations.
The Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable interface line card is configured identically to the Cisco uBR-MC28C cable interface line card. For information about configuring the Cisco uBR-MC28C cable interface line card, refer to chapter three of the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Software Configuration Guide, available on Cisco.com or at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/ubr10012/configuration/guide/scg.html
Caution 
The Cisco uBR10012 supports only the Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable interface line card bundle. Do not install either the adapter card or Cisco uBR-MC28C card separately in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.
Figure 1-21 shows the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card with the Cisco uBR-MC28C card installed.
Figure 1-21 Cisco uBR10-LCP2 Adapter Card with Cisco uBR-MC28C Installed
Figure 1-22 shows the faceplate for the Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable interface line card.
Figure 1-22 Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C Faceplate
The cable interface card has two downstream ports and eight upstream ports. Each downstream port is associated with four upstream ports in a DOCSIS domain. Each domain runs independently of the other. The Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C cable interface line card uses a color-coded label to identify and group the two downstream domains (DS0 and DS1). Their corresponding upstream ports are labeled U0 through U3.
Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C LEDs
The LCP adapter card and the cable interface line card each have their own set of status LEDs on the front of the module. The Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card LEDs are described in Table 1-14. The Cisco uBR-MC28C cable interface line cards LEDs are described in Table 1-15.

Cisco uBR-MC5X20S/U Cable Interface Card
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U cable interface line card is a 20 by 16 inch card designed specifically for the Cisco uBR10012 router. This card transmits and receives RF signals between the subscriber and the headend over hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) system.
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U cable interface line card supports downstream and upstream traffic over a Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS)-based cable modem network. The card supports 6-MHz National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) channel operation, using standard (STD), Harmonic Related Carrier (HRC), or Incremental Related Carrier (IRC) frequency plans conforming to EIA-S542. The card supports downstream channels in the 88 to 860 MHz range, and upstream channels in the 5 to 61 MHz range.
Upstream data from the subscriber, comes through the upstream ports (US0- US19) on the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U cable interface line card. The line card processes and configures the data and sends it across the backplane to the WAN/backhaul card and out to the Internet.
Downstream data to the subscriber, comes from the Internet through the WAN/backhaul card, and across the backplane to the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U cable interface line card.
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U card processes and configures the data and sends it out through the appropriate downstream port (DS0 - DS4) to be combined with the rest of the downstream signals in the headend. Each downstream port includes an inboard integrated upconverter.
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U cable interface line card supports all DOCSIS 1.1-specified Annex B radio frequency (RF) data rates, channel widths, and modulation schemes and has DOCSIS MAC management and spectrum management capabilities.

Cisco Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
The Cisco HHGE line card (Figure 1-28) contains a single Gigabit Ethernet port that provides a trunk uplink to switches and core routers. The Cisco HHGE line card provides an IEEE 802.3z compliant Ethernet interface that can run up to 1 Gbps in full duplex mode. The line card uses a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Gigabit interface converter (GBIC) module that supports a variety of Gigabit Ethernet interface types (SX LX/LH, and ZX), which you can change or upgrade at any time.
Note
Only SFP GBIC modules purchased from Cisco work with the Gigabit Ethernet line card software.

LEDs
This line card faceplate contains the following LEDs that continuously indicate line card status as well as the status of the port during operation (see Figure 1-28):
FAIL (yellow)—This LED lights during portions of the POST (Power-On Self Test), but remains off after the POST on a properly working line card. If the line card fails during operation, this LED lights and an alarm event occurs.
The FAIL LED blinks during the following SFP faults:
–
An SFP GBIC other than a Cisco brand is inserted
–
A non-Gigabit Ethernet SFP GBIC is inserted
–
A hardware problem occurs in a valid SFP GBIC
•
Link (green)—When on, this LED indicates that a carrier signal exists. If negotiation is enabled (at both ends), it indicates successful completion and the port can pass traffic.
Note
This LED can also be on if the line card is in internal loopback.
When off, this LED indicates that no carrier signal is detected, negotiation failed, or the port is administratively down.
–
RX (green)—When on, this status LED indicates that packets are being received. When this LED is off, the line card is not receiving packets.
–
TX (green)—When on, this status LED indicates that packets are being transmitted. When this LED is off, the line card is not transmitting packets.
Note
Because this line card operates in full-duplex mode, both the RX and TX LEDs can be on at the same time.
For additional information about using the faceplate LEDs to troubleshoot the line card, see the "Troubleshooting the Line Cards" section on page 4-12.
SFP Gigabit Ethernet Interface Converter Modules and Cable Specifications
The HHGE line card supports single Ethernet interfaces based on SFP GBIC technology. The following SFPs are supported by this line card:
•
1000Base-SX SFP—The SFP-GE-S, 1000Base-SX SFP operates on ordinary multimode fiber optic link spans of up to 550 meters in length.
•
1000Base-LX/LH SFP—The SFP-GE-L, 1000Base-LX/LH SFP operates on ordinary single-mode fiber optic link spans of up to 10,000 meters in length.
•
1000Base-ZX SFP—The GLC-ZX-SM, 1000Base-ZX SFP operates on ordinary single-mode fiber optic link spans of up to 70 kilometers (km) in length. Link spans of up to 100 km are possible using premium single-mode fiber or dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber. The SFP provides an optical link budget of 23 dB—the precise link span length depends on multiple factors such as fiber quality, number of splices, and connectors.
When shorter distances of single-mode fiber are used, it may be necessary to insert an inline optical attenuator in the link, to avoid overloading the receiver. A 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline optical attenuator should be inserted between the fiber optic cable plant and the receiving port on the GLC-ZX-SM at each end of the link whenever the fiber optic cable span is less than 25 km.
•
1000Base-T SFP— Support for the GLC-T, 1000Base-T SFP module is introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(23)BC1.
The Cisco GLC-T, 1000Base-T SFP module connects a Cisco Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) port to Category 5 wiring via a standard RJ-45 interface. The maximum Category 5 wiring distance is 100 m. The module provides with an option of connecting to a backhaul network interface. For more information on the Cisco GLC-T 1000Base-T SFP, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/7200/install_and_upgrade/gbic_sfp_modules_install/5067g.html
Note
The required line card SFP GBIC is shipped already installed in the line card. Cisco sells individual SFP GBICs separately and you can change the type of Gigabit Ethernet interface supported by this line card by simply changing its SFP GBIC module.

The Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN line card requires two card slots. For that reason, the card is normally installed in Slot 2 and Slot 4 if you are using two cards. If you are using only one card then install the card in Slot 2, Slot 3 or Slot 4.
Figure 1-30 shows the faceplate. The part number of the card (UBR10-SRP-OC12SML) is next to the CLEI code label. The label (2xOC-12/STM-4/SRP SM-LR) above the transmit and receive port connections defines the optical carrier specifications for this card.

Attenuation
The Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN line card is designed to be used at any distance between 15 and 40 kilometers (km). For short-distance operations (less than 15 km), use a 10 dBm optical attenuator on the link between the two nodes to prevent clipping and oversaturating of the optical receiver. The attenuator should be made of a non metallic or plastic material.
The exact attenuation value is based on the real cable length or the number of couplers and splicers on the link. For example, 5 dBm attenuator could be used in a 7 km link.

|
8 to 10
|
49,213 - 131,234 ft. (15 - 40 km)
|
Note
The maximum distance of 40 km assumes that the 1310 nm SMF optical cable attenuation is no more than 0.5 dB per kilometer; and that there is no optical coupler or splicer in the link (each could add 0.5 dB loss).
Cisco recommends the use of a SC/PC female to SC/PC male optical attenuator for the Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN line card.
Tip
The SC/PC (Standard Connector/Physical Contact) denotes a connector with a rectangular shape. The surfaces are parallel with respect to the port (not angled). SC/APC (Standard Connector Angled Physical Contact) denotes an angled surface.
Caution 
Make sure that you obtain the correct connector type (SC/PC) when purchasing optical attenuators. Angled SC/APC type mating surfaces can damage the Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN line card (RX port) interface.
See Optical Connectors and Cables.
Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 DPT/POS Interface Module
The Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 dynamic packet transport (DPT) and packet-over-SONET interface module is a full-height line card for the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. This card provides trunk uplink capabilities that support up to 1.4 Gbps full duplex throughput over a standard SONET/ITU-T Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) interface, using a single mode fiber with SC connectors.
Two versions of the Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 DPT/POS interface module are available— short reach (SR) or long reach (LR). Both versions work with the performance routing engine (PRE).
The Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 DPT/POS interface module provides a point-to-point connection to a backbone router and encapsulates IP Packets with byte-wise HDLC framing, placing them directly into the OC-48 SONET (or SDH) payload.
The Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 DPT/POS interface module is a standard implementation of packet over SONET switching, and supports the following features:
•
OC-48 bandwidth between the line card and the PRE.
•
North American (SONET) and European (SDH) formats
•
Automatic protection switching (APS)
•
Alarm processing
Note
Two Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 DPT/POS interface modules are required when using the card when using the card in DPT mode in a Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router.
