2 Prepare for Installation

This section contains information about tools and parts, warnings, site preparation information, and information for workbench or tabletop installation and rack-mount installation.

Warning

Before beginning this router installation, read the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco 7200 Series Routers document.

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

1030

The ports labeled “Ethernet,” “10BaseT,” “Token Ring,” “Console,” and “AUX” are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Because the BRI circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.

Statement 22

Prepare for Workbench or Tabletop Installation

For a workbench or tabletop installation, verify the following before installing the router:

• The router is off the floor and has adequate ventilation.

• An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for the router.

• The router has at last 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust vents (front and back of router).

• The router has 19 inches (48.26 cm) of clearance at the front and rear to allow for CompactFlash Disk, SFP module, USB

module and port adapter replacement or installation, or to access cables or equipment.

• The port adapter blank panel is installed if a port adapter is not installed. The slot must not be empty.

Prepare for Rack-Mount Installation

Before you begin the rack-mounting tasks, decide whether or not you want to front- or rear-mount the chassis, decide whether or not you want to attach the cable-management bracket, and determine the type of rack—four-post or two-post—that you will be using. Also determine if you have any optional field-replaceable units to install, particularly if you are using SFP modules, port adapters, or CompactFlash Disks that are at your site and have not been ordered with the router. See the “After Installation” section on page 42 for instructions on installing these units.

If you ordered a port adapter, CompactFlash Disk, or SFP module with the router, they ship installed. If you ordered a USB Flash memory module or Aladdin USB eToken Pro key, go to the “After Installation” section on page 42 for installation information.

Cable to console terminal or DTE

Cable to modem or DCE

Step 1 Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the router console port as follows:

9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).

Step 2 After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.

The Cisco 7201 router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and the console port.

Note You must supply your own interface cable between the auxiliary port and the equipment you are connecting. For

console and auxiliary port pinouts, see Appendix A, “Specifications,” of the online Cisco 7201 Installation and

Configuration Guide.

1. The female data terminal equipment (FDTE) adapter that is available from Cisco is labeled “Terminal”.

2. The MMOD adapter that is available from Cisco is labeled “Modem”.

Refer to Table 1 for a list of the pins used on the RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapters, used with an RJ-45 cable, to connect terminals and modems to the Cisco 7201 router. The cable you use may be a roll-over cable or a straight-through cable.

A roll-over cable can be detected by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Holding the cables in your hand, side-by-side, with the tab at the back, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the pin on the outside of the right plug. If your cable was purchased from Cisco, pin 1 will be white on one connector, and pin 8 will be white on the other (a roll-over cable reverses pins 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5). (See Figure 10.)

Fast Ethernet Management port

1

RJ-45 Fast Ethernet cable

2

When using the Fast Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the port operates in auto-MDI/MDI-X mode. The port automatically provides the correct signal connectivity through the Auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. The port automatically senses a crossover or straight-through cable and adapts to it.

However, when the Fast Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10 or 100 Mbps) through command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to MDI mode.

When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:

• Use a crossover cable to connect to an MDI port

• Use a straight-through cable to connect to an MDI-X port

Connect Native Gigabit Ethernet Cables

The Cisco 7201 router native Gigabit Ethernet ports use either optical fiber or RJ-45 Ethernet cables. For installation information see:

• Install the SFP Module Optical Fiber Cables, page 15

• Install the Native Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet Cables, page 18

The SFP port is a 1000-Mbps optical interface in the form of an LC-type duplex port that supports IEEE 802.3z interfaces compliant with the 1000BASEX standard. (See Figure 13.)

Appendix A, “Specifications” of the online Cisco 7201 Installation and Configuration Guide, provides cabling specifications

and configuration information for the SFP modules that you install in the Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports.

Warning

14

Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.

Statement 70

Figure 13 shows the duplex LC-type connectors on your multimode or single-mode optical fiber cables. For simplex connectors, two cables are required, one cable for transmit (TX) and a second cable for receive (RX). For duplex connectors, only one cable that has both TX and RX connectors is required. You can use either simplex or duplex connectors to the SFP ports on the Cisco 7201 router.

Install the SFP Module Optical Fiber Cables

The SFP module ports support IEEE 802.3z (optical Gigabit Ethernet) interfaces compliant with 1000BASESX and 1000BASELX specifications.

SFP modules ordered with the Cisco 7201 router come installed in the system. Optical fiber cables are commercially available; they are not available from Cisco.

Mode-Conditioning Patch Cord Description

A mode-conditioning patch cord can be used with the SFP-GE-L= (SFP module) to allow reliable laser transmission between the single-mode laser source on the SFP module and a multimode optical fiber cable.

When an unconditioned laser source designed for operation on single-mode optical fiber is directly coupled to a multimode optical fiber cable, an effect known as differential mode delay (DMD) might result in a degradation of the modal bandwidth of the optical fiber cable.

This degradation results in a decrease in the link span (the distance between a transmitter and a receiver) that can be supported reliably. The effect of DMD can be overcome by conditioning the launch characteristics of a laser source. A practical means of performing this conditioning is to use a device called a mode-conditioning patch cord.

A mode-conditioning patch cord is an optical fiber cable assembly that consists of a pair of optical fibers terminated with connector hardware. Specifically, the mode-conditioning patch cord is composed of a single-mode optical fiber permanently coupled off-center (see Offset in Figure 14) to a graded-index multimode optical fiber. Figure 14 shows a diagram of the mode-conditioning patch cord assembly.

The mode-conditioning patch cord assembly is composed of duplex optical fibers, including a single-mode-to-multimode offset launch fiber connected to the transmitter, and a second conventional graded-index multimode optical fiber connected to the receiver. The use of a plug-to-plug patch cord maximizes the power budget of multimode 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-LH links.

The mode-conditioning patch cord is required to comply with IEEE standards. The IEEE found that link distances could not be met with certain types of fiber-optic cable cores. The solution is to launch light from the laser at a precise offset from the center, which is accomplished by using the mode-conditioning patch cord. At the output of the patch cord, the SFP-GE-L= is compliant with the IEEE 802.3z standard for 1000BASE-LX.

Note We strongly recommend cleaning optical fiber connections before attaching cables to equipment. See the Inspection and

Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections document and the Compressed Air Cleaning Issues for Fiber-Optic Connections document. Figure 14 shows one type of mode-conditioning patch cord.

Attach the Mode-Conditioning Patch Cord

To use a mode-conditioning patch cord, follow these steps:

Step 1 If you have not already done so, and the mode-conditioning patch cord has been in use, we strongly recommend

cleaning optical fiber connections before attaching cables to equipment. For information about cleaning fiber-optic cable

connectors and receptacles, see the Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections document and the

Compressed Air Cleaning Issues for Fiber-Optic Connections document.

Step 2 Attach a mode-conditioning patch cord to the SFP module. (See Figure 14.)

Step 3 Attach the network ends of your mode-conditioning patch cord to the appropriate 1000BASEX equipment in your

building cable plant.

Ensure that you connect the TX and RX ports on one end of the patch cord to the RX and TX ports (respectively) on the other end. Connect TX to RX and RX to TX.

Install the Native Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet Cables

This section provides information about installing the native Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 cables.

Intra-Building Lightning Protection

Shielded cables, which are grounded at both ends, are required to be used on the 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports in order to be in compliance with requirement R4-11 in GR-1089-Core for a Central Office environment. This is not a requirement for customer premises installations.

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.
