Cisco Prisma EtherLinX Installation Instructions Manual

Prisma EtherLinX Unit Installation
Instructions

Overview

Introduction

The Prisma® EtherLinX™ unit enables service providers to offer differentiated data
networking or virtual private network (VPN) services to multi-tenant building and
business customers. Residing at the customer premises or at the service provider
point of presence (POP), the Prisma EtherLinX unit provides a VLAN-based Layer 2
entry point to the metropolitan area network (MAN) fiber network, trunking,
differentiating and separating customer traffic. Featuring SNMP management,
bandwidth control, quality of service (QoS), traffic prioritization, and multicast
pruning (using IGMP v1, v2), it is an ideal solution for delivering Ethernet-based
services to customers quickly and cost-effectively. The Prisma EtherLinX unit also
features Telnet, and firmware upgrading through serial configuration or Telnet via a
TFTP server.

Terminology

The terms defined below are used in this document. The definitions given are based
on those found in safety standards.

Service Personnel - The term service personnel applies to trained and qualified
individuals who are allowed to install, replace, or service electrical equipment. The
service personnel are expected to use their experience and technical skills to avoid
possible injury to themselves and others due to hazards that exist in service and
restricted access areas.

User and Operator - The terms user and operator apply to persons other than service
personnel.

Ground(ing) and Earth(ing) - The terms ground(ing) and earth(ing) are synonymous.
This document uses ground(ing) for clarity, but it can be interpreted as having the
same meaning as earth(ing).

Electric Shock Hazard

Because of the potential for higher humidity, the presence of moisture, the proximity
to ground potential and the possibility that hazardous voltages may be present on
network connected cables, there is a greater risk of electric shock when working with
electronic equipment in the outdoor environment.

Installation

To minimize the likelihood and effect of electric shock, follow the instructions in this
warning and the precautions below.

WARNING!

To reduce risk of electric shock, perform only the instructions that are included
in the operating instructions. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel
only.

• Do not work in rain, fog or snow conditions

• Ensure equipment and cables are dry

• Wear shoes with soles made of insulated material e.g. rubber, vinyl, etc.

• When making electrical connections, work with one hand in your pocket and

avoid accidental contact with grounded surfaces

• Use insulated tools to make electrical connections

• Make all other connections before connecting power to the equipment

This equipment should be installed by qualified service personnel and should
comply with national and local requirements.

Grounding

This section provides instructions for verifying that the equipment is properly
grounded.

Safety Plugs (USA Only)

This equipment is equipped with either a 3-terminal (grounding-type) safety plug or
a 2-terminal (polarized) safety plug. The wide blade or the third terminal is provided
for safety. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type or polarized safety
plug.

To properly ground this equipment, follow these safety guidelines:

• Grounding-Type Plug - For a 3-terminal plug (one terminal on this plug is a

protective grounding pin), insert the plug into a grounded mains, 3-terminal
outlet.

Note: This plug fits only one way. If this plug cannot be fully inserted into the
outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete 3-terminal outlet.

• Polarized Plug - For a 2-terminal plug (a polarized plug with one wide blade and

one narrow blade), insert the plug into a polarized mains, 2-terminal outlet in
which one socket is wider than the other.

Note: If this plug cannot be fully inserted into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug still fails to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete 2-terminal
outlet.

Grounding Terminal

If this equipment is equipped with an external grounding terminal, attach one end of
an 18-gauge wire (or larger) to the grounding terminal; then, attach the other end of
the wire to a ground, such as a grounded equipment rack.

Safety Plugs (European Union)

• Class I Mains Powered Equipment – Provided with a 3-terminal AC inlet and

requires connection to a 3-terminal mains supply outlet via a 3-terminal power
cord for proper connection to the protective ground.

Note: The equipotential bonding terminal provided on some equipment is not
designed to function as a protective ground connection.

• Class II Mains Powered Equipment – Provided with a 2-terminal AC inlet that

may be connected by a 2-terminal power cord to the mains supply outlet. No
connection to the protective ground is required as this class of equipment is
provided with double or reinforced and/or supplementary insulation in addition
to the basic insulation provided in Class I equipment.

Note: Class II equipment, which is subject to EN 50083-1, is provided with a
chassis mounted equipotential bonding terminal. See the section titled
Equipotential Bonding for connection instructions.

Equipotential Bonding
