Alarm Ratings

Table 5. Alarm Input and Output Ratings

Alarm Ratings

Alarm input electrical specification

No external voltage needed to activate alarm inputs. The open circuit voltage between any Alarm input (1 to 2) and Alarm input Common is 5VDC and the loop current is 2 mA max per input.

Alarm output electrical specification

30VDC @ 1A, 48VDC @ 0.5A

Thermal Mitigation

The following tables provide a description of thermal mitigation levels and throughput performance across all IoT industrial routers.

This applies to both the 4G LTE and 5G NR FR1 operation of the P-5GS6-GL.

Table 6. Thermal Mitigation Levels

Level

Description

Level 0

Normal mode, no thermal throttling.

Level 1

Uplink throttling, via reduced UL TX duty cycle.

Level 2

May include the following:

  • DL throughput capability reduction, such as 4 RX > 2 RX paths.

  • Drop Secondary Cells (SCells) all, or one by one.

  • 5G NR > 4G LTE fall back.

  • MTPL backoff or reduced TX power.

  • Reduced UL communication range.

Level 3

Limited service.

Note

 
Limited service typically means emergency calls only. The P-5GS6-GL does not support emergency call mode, therefore limited service means “no service” for the P-5GS6-GL .

Thermal Shutdown

This occurs after Level 3.

Note
Cisco does not recommend operation deep into level 2 as this may affect communication range via MTPL backoff.
