Cable the Router

The following topics are covered in this section:

Grounding the Router

This section provides instructions for grounding the router.

Note: Grounding cable and grounding lugs are not included with the router.

 

Note: The cable size should meet local and national installation requirements.

 

Figure 1. Protective Bonding Pad Sockets

1 Screw mounting holes
2 Lug
3 Screw
Figure 2. Lug Preparation
1 Insulated cable A 1/4″
2 Heat-shrink tubing B 1/2″
3 Lug C 5/8″
Note: Dimension B is the width of the lug (not visible on the right-angle lug).

 

CAUTION: The earth connection must not be removed unless all supply connections are disconnected.

 

  1. Ensure the rack is properly grounded and complies with ETSI EN 300 253.
  2. Ensure a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or isolating surface treatment).
  3. Attach the solder terminal lug to an 18 AWG minimum grounding cable, and connect it to the grounding point on the rear panel of the router.
  4. Tighten the screw to secure the lug to the grounding point.
  5. Connect the other end of the cable to the nearby grounded surface.

Connecting Power Cables

To use power cords outside of the United States, they must be ordered separately. Ensure that the power cord is compliant with local and national electrical codes.

The router accommodates one power supply unit (PSU). Rear Panel displays the location of the power supply unit. To power down the router, remove all the power cords from the power supply unit.

Important: Installation of this equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. If necessary, consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities to ensure compliance.

Installation de cet équipement doit être conformes aux codes électriques locaux et nationaux. Si nécessaire, consulter les organismes de réglementation appropriés et des autorités de contrôle pour assurer la conformité.

 

Important: Read all installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source.

Lire toutes les instructions d’installation avant de brancher le système à la source d’alimentation.

 

Important: This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor.

Cet équipement doit être mis à la terre. Ne jamais modifier le conducteur de terre.

 

Important: This unit requires overcurrent protection.

Cet appareil requiert une protection contre les surintensités.

 

Connecting Serial and Management Cables

The accessory kit includes the following cables:
  • RJ45 to DB9 serial adapter cable
  • RJ45 Ethernet cable

Table 1 lists the pin connections of the RJ45 to DB9 adapter cable.

TXD 3 2 RXD   DSR 7 4 DTR
GND 4 5 GND   CTS 8 7 RTS
Connect the front or rear panel ports as follows:
  • Console (serial) port: Connect the router to the computer using the RJ45 to DB9 serial adapter cable. The router uses the following default settings:
    • 9600 baud
    • No flow control
    • One stop bit
    • No parity bits
    • 8 data bits
  • Ethernet management port: Connect to 10/100/1000 management network with RJ45 Ethernet cable.
  • USB port: The two USB ports (Type-A and Type-C) may be used for software or configuration updates.
    CAUTION: Excessive bending can damage the interface cables.
