•Before working on the system, unplug the power cord.

•Disconnect all power before doing the following:

–Installing or removing a chassis

–Working near power supplies

Warning When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

•Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.

Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

•Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety grounds.

•If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:

–Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.

–Turn OFF power to the system.

–If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim and then call for help.

–Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.

Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors). To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.

Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when you remove and replace components. Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted ESD voltages. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Required Tools and Equipment

The following items are included with the universal gateway:

•19- and 24-inch rack-mount kits

•Rubber feet for desktop installation

•RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled TERMINAL)

•RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter (labeled TERMINAL)

•RJ-45-to-DB-25 male DCE adapter (labeled MODEM)

•RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover console cable

•ESD-preventive wrist strap

•Nylon cable tie

•Cable tie holder

•Grounding lug

You might need the following equipment, which is not included:

•Straight-through RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable for an Ethernet connection

•Up to two straight-through RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cables for T1 connections

•Up to two E1 cables for E1 connections

•Ethernet hub or PC with a network interface card for Ethernet LAN connections

•PC running terminal emulation software for local administrative access

•Modem for remote administrative access

Preparing to Connect to a Network

When you set up your universal gateway, consider distance limitations and potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) as defined by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA).

Warning Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the router is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the router first. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Warning The ISDN connection is regarded as a source of voltage that should be inaccessible to user contact. Do not attempt to tamper with or open any public telephone operator (PTO)-provided equipment or connection hardware. Any hardwired connection (other than by a nonremovable, connect-one-time-only plug) must be made only by PTO staff or suitably trained engineers. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Ethernet Connections

Two Fast Ethernet (FE) ports, RJ-45 ports, are located on the rear panel of the universal gateway: FE0 and FE1 (selectable). To configure the Ethernet ports, refer to the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 Universal Gateway Software Configuration Guide. Both ports use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable and require Category 5 cable. The maximum segment distance is 328 feet (100 meters).

Note UTP cables look like the cables used for ordinary telephones; however, UTP cables meet certain electrical standards that telephone cables do not. Cables are not included.

Console and Auxiliary Ports

The Cisco AS5350 includes an asynchronous serial console port and an auxiliary port. The console and auxiliary ports provide access to the universal gateway either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem). This section discusses important cabling information to consider before connecting a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port, or modem to the auxiliary port.

Console Port

The Cisco AS5350 includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as a data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE) device at the end of the cable. Your universal gateway arrives with cables and adapters to connect a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port. To connect an ASCII terminal to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled TERMINAL).

To connect a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled TERMINAL). The default parameters for the console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits. The console port does not support hardware flow control.

For detailed information about installing a console terminal, see Chapter 3, "Installing the Cisco AS5350." See Appendix C, "Cabling Specifications," for cable and port pinouts.

Auxiliary Port

The Cisco AS5350 includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial auxiliary port (RJ-45) that supports flow control. Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the cable. Your universal gateway arrives with a cable and an adapter to connect a modem to the auxiliary port. To connect a modem to the auxiliary port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the male RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled MODEM).

For detailed information about connecting devices to the auxiliary port, see Chapter 3, "Installing the Cisco AS5350." See "Cabling Specifications," for cable and port pinouts.

2T Serial Ports

Two high speed 12-in-1 serial ports on the rear panel of the Cisco AS5350 provide backhaul WAN and IP support.

The following types of serial interface standards (in DTE/DCE) are supported:

•EIA/TIA-232

•EIA/TIA-449

•EIA/TIA-530

•EIA/TIA-530A

•EIA/TIA-X.21

•ITU-T V.35

Each interface supports up to 8 Mbps.

Alarm Port

The three pins on the alarm port are connected to the output of a relay. This relay is controlled by system software. To configure the Alarm port, refer to the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 Universal Gateway Software Configuration Guide. This document is available on CCO and the documentation CD-ROM that comes with your universal gateway. (See the "Related Documentation" section.) With the alarm ports connected and configured, Cisco IOS software polls every one second to detect the failure events that are configured and turns ON the alarm when it detects any failure event. See "Cabling Specifications," for pinouts and cable specifications.

BITS Port

The BITS port is a coaxial interface that provides external synchronized clocking through a Timing Signal Generator (TSG). To configure the BITS port, refer to the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 Universal Gateway Software Configuration Guide. This document is available on CCO and the documentation CD-ROM that comes with your universal gateway. (See the "Related Documentation" section.) See "Cabling Specifications," for pinouts and cable specifications.
