Wiring Procedure for DC Input

To connect the router to a DC power source, perform the following steps:


Step 1 Remove power from the DC circuit. To ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit, locate the circuit breaker for the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the circuit-breaker switch in the OFF position.


Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Statement 1003



Tip Secure all power cabling when installing this unit to avoid disturbing field-wiring connections.


Step 2 Strip the wires 3/16 inch to 1/4 inch (5 mm to 7 mm).

Step 3 Remove the plastic cover from the terminal block. Save it for reinstallation after you finish wiring.

Step 4 Connect the wires to the terminal block, starting with the safety ground wire. Insert each wire into the appropriate terminal as shown in Figure 8. To avoid interference with the on/off switch, insert the wires from below. Tighten the terminal screws to 8.0 ± 0.5 in-lb (0.9 ± 0.05 N-m).


Warning The illustration shows the DC power supply terminal block. Wire the DC power supply as illustrated. The proper wiring sequence is ground to ground, positive to positive, and negative to negative. The ground wire should always be connected first and disconnected last. Statement 239



Warning An exposed wire lead from a DC-input power source can conduct harmful levels of electricity. Be sure that no exposed portion of the DC-input power source wire extends from the terminal block plug. Statement 122



Caution Do not overtorque the terminal block contact screws. Recommended torque is 8.0 ± 0.5 in-lb (0.90 ± 0.05 N-m).

Figure 8 DC Power Connections

Step 5 Install the plastic cover over the terminal block. (See Figure 9.)


Warning The safety cover is an integral part of the product. Do not operate the unit without the safety cover installed. Operating the unit without the cover in place will invalidate the safety approvals and pose a risk of fire and electrical hazards. Statement 117


Step 6 Organize and secure the wires using cable ties as shown in Figure 9.

Step 7 Turn on power to the DC circuit.

Figure 9 Wire Routing and Attachment


Approved Scenarios and Scenarios Not Approved for Dual DC Power Supply Configuration

You can connect a single DC power source to either the A input or the B input. If there are dual power sources, connect one source to the A input and one source to the B input. Both sources must be the same polarity (with respect to ground) and voltage (within 0.25 volts). Do not connect -DC grounded and +DC grounded dual sources to a Cisco 3725 series router.


Caution Dual sources with opposite-polarity grounding damage equipment.

In Figure 10, either the positive source terminal or the negative source terminal is tied to ground.

Figure 10 Connecting to One Source Only—Source A or Source B

In Figure 11, source A and source B share common negative terminal connections.

Figure 11 Connecting Source A and Source B with Common Negative Terminals

In Figure 12, source A and source B share common positive terminal connections. This is allowed only if Va equals Vb (within 0.25 V).


Caution When connecting source A and source B with common positive terminals, if source A and source B voltages are unequal by more than 0.25 V, the higher-voltage source can discharge into the lower-voltage source through the A- and B- input terminals. Excessive discharging currents through these terminals can cause one or both of the dual input DC power supply's internal A- or B- fuses to open, resulting in lack of redundancy or system failure. When source A and source B are within 0.25 V, discharge current is minimal.


Note When source A and source B are wired with common negative terminals, as in Figure 11, discharging does not occur and there is no restriction requiring that source A and source B voltages be equal.


Figure 12 Connecting Source A and Source B with Common Positive Terminals

In Figure 13, source A and source B are wired with opposite polarity grounds. Do not use this configuration.


Caution Do not use the DC input configuration shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13 Source A and Source B Wired with Opposite-Polarity Grounds

7 Interface Numbering

Each individual interface (port) on a Cisco 3725 router is identified by number as described in the following sections.

WAN and LAN Interface Numbering

The Cisco 3725 router chassis contains the following WAN and LAN interface types:

Two built-in Fast Ethernet LAN interfaces

Three slots in which you can install WAN interface cards (WICs)

One single-width slot (slot 1) in which you can install one network module

One double-width slot (slot 2) in which you can install one single-width or double-width network module

The numbering format is Interface-type Slot-number/Interface-number. Two examples are:

FastEthernet 0/0

Serial 1/2

The slot numbers are as follows:

0 for all built-in interfaces

0 for all WIC interfaces

1 for interfaces in the single-width network module slot

2 for interfaces in the double-width network module slot

Interface (port) numbers begin at 0 for each interface type, and continue from right to left and (if necessary) from bottom to top.

Figure 14 shows an example of interface numbering on a Cisco 3725 router with:

A WIC in each WIC slot (containing interfaces Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1 in physical slot W0, interface Serial 0/2 in physical slot W1, and interface BRI 0/0 in physical slot W2)

A 2-port T1 network module in slot 1 (containing the following ports: T1 1/0 and T1 1/1)

A 36-port EtherSwitch network module in slot 2 (containing the following ports: Fast Ethernet 2/0 through 2/35, and Gigabit Ethernet 2/0 and 2/1)

Two built-in Ethernet 10/100 interfaces—Fast Ethernet 0/0 and Fast Ethernet 0/1

Figure 14 WAN and LAN Interface Numbering


Note The slot number for all WIC interfaces is always 0. (The W0 and W1 slot designations are for physical slot identification only.) Interfaces in the WICs are numbered from right to left, starting with 0/0 for each interface type, regardless of which physical slot the WICs are installed in.


Some examples are as follows:

If slot W0 is empty and slot W1 contains a 1-port serial WIC, the serial interface in the WIC is numbered Serial 0/0.

If slot W0 contains a 2-port serial WIC and slot W1 contains a 1-port serial WIC, the serial interfaces in physical slot W0 are numbered Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1, and the serial interface in physical slot W1 is numbered Serial 0/2.

If slot W0 contains a 2-port serial WIC and slot W1 contains a 1-port BRI WIC, the serial interfaces in physical slot W0 are numbered Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1, and the BRI interface in physical slot W1 is numbered BRI 0/0.

Voice Interface Numbering

Voice interfaces are numbered as follows:

chassis-slot/voice-module-slot/voice-interface

If a 4-channel voice network module is installed in chassis slot 1, the voice interfaces are:

1/0/0—Chassis slot 1/Voice module slot 0/Voice interface 0

1/0/1—Chassis slot 1/Voice module slot 0/Voice interface 1

1/1/0—Chassis slot 1/Voice module slot 1/Voice interface 0

1/1/1—Chassis slot 1/Voice module slot 1/Voice interface 1
