Safety with Electricity

Warning   Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

Warning   Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Warning   Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.

Warning   Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Warning   Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages.

Warning   Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

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.

Warning   To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.

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.

Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:

•Locate the emergency power-OFF switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly shut the power OFF.

•Disconnect all power before doing the following:

•Installing or removing a chassis

•Working near power supplies

•Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.

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

•Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, 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, determine 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.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. 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 clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. 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 megohms (Mohm).

Software Requirements

The Cisco AS5300 quad T1/PRI or E1/PRI feature cards require Cisco IOS Release 11.2(9)P or higher.

Required Tools and Equipment for Installation

To install the quad T1/PRI or E1/PRI feature cards, you will also need the following tools and equipment (some of which are not included):

•Cisco AS5300 access server

•Feature card removal tool (included)

•Medium-size flat-blade screwdriver (1/4 inch [0.625 cm])

•ESD-preventive wrist strap and mat

•Antistatic bag (optional)

Caution   The feature cards are not hot-swappable (that is, you cannot remove or install them when the power to the access server is ON). Be sure to turn OFF the power to the access server before installing or removing feature cards. Failure to do so can damage the access server.

Quad T1/PRI Card Overview

The quad T1/PRI card (see Figure 1) includes four RJ-45 ports. Cables are not included with the cards; however, cable specifications and port pinouts are listed in the section "Quad T1 PRI Card Port Pinouts," page 26.

A 10-position rotary switch allows the user to choose which of the four ports is selected for monitoring through the two sets of bantam jacks (TXMON, TXIN, TXOUT, and RXMON, RXIN, RXOUT). See "Using the Bantam Jacks," page 26 for a detailed description of the signals available at each of the bantam jacks. The LED labeled MON at each port lights to indicate that the port is selected for monitoring. Only one port can be selected at a time. None of the ports is selected when the switch is set to the Off position.

Setting the Port Impedance

A 10-position rotary switch (labeled IMP SEL, see ) allows you to choose the number of ports that are terminated as 75-ohm unbalanced lines. The LED labeled 120 at each port indicates the input impedance of that port. If the LED is on, it indicates the impedance of the port is set to 120 ohms. If the LED is off, it indicates the impedance of the port is set to 75 ohms.

The input impedance of each port for various impedance selection switch settings is shown in .

Table 4 Impedance Selection Switch Settings

Switch Position	Port 0	Port 1	Port 2	Port 3
1	75 ohm	120 ohm	120 ohm	120 ohm
2	75 ohm	75 ohm	120 ohm	120 ohm
3	75 ohm	75 ohm	75 ohm	120 ohm
4	75 ohm	75 ohm	75 ohm	75 ohm
5	120 ohm	120 ohm	120 ohm	120 ohm

Setting the Receive Shield Jumpers

Jumpers on the quad E1/PRI card configure the 75-ohm unbalanced ports so the receive shield is connected to ground. You can remove these jumpers to disconnect the receive shield from ground (see ).

Figure 3 Receive Shield Jumpers for 75-ohm Unbalanced Ports

Removing a Feature Card

To remove a feature card, refer to and take these steps:

---

Step 1 Turn the power switch on the access server OFF and disconnect site power.

Warning   Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units; disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.

Warning   Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.

Step 2 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap.

Step 3 Remove all interface cables from the rear panel of the access server.

Warning   Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages.

Warning   Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity

Step 4 Loosen the two captive screws that secure the feature card or blank slot cover to the chassis until each screw is free of the chassis.

Figure 4 Removing a Feature Card (Carrier Card Shown)

Step 5 Insert the feature card removal tool so that the slots in each arm of the tool are behind the shoulder of each captive screw, as shown in , and carefully pull the removal tool toward you until the feature card slides free of the chassis.

.

Caution   The EMI protective devices on the feature cards are designed to make the cards fit tightly. When removing the cards, they can release suddenly. Exercise caution when removing the feature cards with the removal tool.

Figure 5 Using the Feature Card Removal Tool

Step 6 Set the removed feature card aside on an ESD-preventive mat.

Installing a Feature Card

To install a new feature card, refer to and take these steps:

---

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap.

Step 2 Remove the new feature card from the ESD-preventive shipping material.

Step 3 Slide the card into the slot until it touches the backplane connector.

Step 4 Align the captive screws with their holes, and then seat the card completely.

Step 5 Tighten the two captive screws to secure the card to the chassis.

Step 6 If the access server is configured with fewer than three cards, make sure that a blank slot cover is installed over each open slot to ensure proper airflow inside the chassis.

Configuring Software

After you install or replace the feature card, configure the software as described in the following sections.

How to Find Command Options

This section explains how to display options for a command. To display options for a command, enter a ? at the configuration prompt, or after entering part of a command followed by a space. The configuration parser displays options available with the command. For example, if you were in global configuration mode, typed the command arap, and wanted to see all the keywords and arguments for that command, you would type arap ?.

shows examples of this function:

5	5300(config-controller)# linecode [ami | b8zs | hdb3]	Enter your telco's line code type.
6	5300(config-controller)# clock source line primary	Enter the clock source for the line. Configure other lines as clock source secondary or internal. Note that only one PRI can be clock source primary and one PRI can be clock source secondary.
7	5300(config-controller)# cas-group 1 timeslots [1-24 | 1-31] <type>	Configure all channels for E&M, FXS, and SAS analog signaling. Enter 1-24 for T1. If E1, enter 1-31. Signaling types include e&m-fgb, e&m-fgd, e&m-immediate-start, fxs-ground-start, fxs-loop-start, sas-ground-start, and sas-loop-start. Note: To set up e&m-fgb to support modem pooling, see step 8 in this table. You must use the same type of signaling that your central office uses. For E1 using the Anadigicom converter, use cas e&m-fgb signaling.
8	5300(config-controller)# cas-group 1 timeslots 1-24 e&m-fgb mf dnis [or] 5300(config-controller)# cas-group 1 timeslots 1-24 e&m-fgb dtmf dnis	Configures e&m-fgb signaling to support modem pooling and the digital number identification service (DNIS) over channelized T1 lines. You must specify the tone type: mf or dtmf. By configuring DNIS as part of the cas-group command, the system collects DNIS digits for incoming calls, which are redirected to specific modem pools. You must be running Mica modems in the system and have at least 10% of your total modems in the default modem pool. Free modems are needed in the default pool to detect the incoming called number or DNIS before handing the call off to the appropriate modem pool. Therefore, a second modem is needed to handle each incoming call. Note: Make sure your switch provides inband address information for incoming analog calls before you enable this feature.

To verify your controller is up and running and no alarms have been reported:

•Enter the show controller t1 or show controller e1 command and specify the port number:

5300# show controller t1 0

T1 0 is up.

  No alarms detected.

Configuring the D Channels for Modem Signaling

Configure the ISDN D channels, which carry the control and signaling information for ISDN calls, for each ISDN PRI line.

Table 8 Configuring the D Channels for Modem Signaling 

Step	Command	Purpose
1	5300> enable Password: <password> 5300#	Enter enable mode. Enter the password. You have entered enable mode when the prompt changes to 5300#.
2	5300# config term Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. 5300(config)#	Enter global configuration mode. You have entered global configuration mode when the prompt changes to 5300(config)#.
3	5300(config)# interface serial [0:15 | 0:23] 5300(config-if)#	Enter serial interface configuration mode. After you have configured the controller, a corresponding D channel serial interface is created instantly. For example, serial interface 0:23 is the D channel for controller 0. You must configure each serial interface to receive incoming and send outgoing modem signaling.
4	5300(config-if)# ip address 172.16.253.254 255.255.255.0	Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface.
5	5300(config-if)# isdn incoming-voice modem	Configure all incoming voice calls to go to the modems.
6	5300(config-if)# dialer-group 1	Assign the serial interface to dialer group 1. The dialer group number is used with the dialer-list command to determine which packets will be meet the criteria specified by the dialer-list command and activate the ISDN connection.
7	5300(config-if)# encapsulation ppp	Changes the default to encapsulation ppp so you can enter ppp commands.
8	5300(config-if)# ppp multilink	Enable PPP1 multilink on the serial interface.
9	5300(config-if)# ppp authentication chap pap	Enable CHAP2 and PAP3 authentication on the serial interface.
10	5300(config-if)# peer default ip address pool default	Support dial-in PC clients.
11	5300(config-if)# Ctrl-Z 5300# %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console	Return to enable mode. This message is normal and does not indicate an error.
