China RoHS Information
All Redback Networks products built on or after March 1, 2007 conform to the People’s Republic of China’s Management Methods for Controlling Pollution by Electronic
Information Products (Ministry of Information Industry Order #39), also known as “China RoHS.”
As required by China RoHS, the following tables summarize which of the 6 regulated substances are found in Redback Networks products and their location.
China RoHS also requires that manufacturers determine an “Environmental Protection Use Period” (EPUP), which has been defined as the term during which toxic and hazardous
substances or elements contained in electronic information products will not leak out or mutate.
Redback Networks has determined that the EPUP for this product is 25 years from the date of manufacture and indicates this period on the product and/or packaging with the logo
shown below.
The date of manufacture can be found on the product packaging label, or determined from the product serial number. The week and year of manufacture can be determined from
the 6th though 9th digits of the 14 digit product serial number, xxxxxWWYYxxxxx, where WW represents the week of the year (01 = first week of year) and YY represents the
year (07= 2007). For example, 0207 means that the unit was manufactured in the 2nd week of January 2007.
WEEE Policy
Redback Networks products are fully compliant with Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) for all applicable geographies in the European
Union. In accordance with the requirements of the WEEE Directive, Redback Networks has since August 13, 2005 labeled products placed on the market with the WEEE symbol,
a crossed-out “wheelie bin” symbol with a black rectangle underneath, as shown below.
The presence of the WEEE symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that you must not dispose of that item in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Instead, it is
your responsibility to dispose of that product by returning it to a collection point that is designated for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment waste.
Contact the reseller where the product was originally purchased and provide details of the product in question. The reseller will confirm whether the product is within the scope
of the recycling program and then arrange for shipment of the product to the designated recycling location for proper recycling/disposal.
If you are unable to locate the original reseller or need additional information, please contact Redback Networks at weee-info@redback.com. Additional information on the

System Overview
The SmartEdge 1200 router is a carrier-class product with an architecture that supports packetized traffic.
The router can be used as an edge aggregation router and simultaneously as a broadband remote access
server (BRAS) to directly connect customers to the network. It supports a variety of interfaces and vital
services, such as routing protocols, quality of service (QoS), and inbound and outbound access control lists
(ACLs). New services can easily be added with software upgrades.
Because of the optimized packet-forwarding capabilities and support of high-bandwidth uplink interfaces,
the SmartEdge 1200 router can also be used in the metropolitan core to aggregate traffic from other routers
into the long-haul transit core.

Router Versions
The SmartEdge 1200 router has two versions: standard and NEBS-compliant (NEBS Level 3). These two
versions are distinguished by the type of air ramp that is integrated into the chassis.
Unlike SmartEdge 800 routers, which require separate air ramps installed above and below the chassis for
directing hot air away from the chassis, the air ramp integrated into a SmartEdge 1200 chassis replaces the
air ramp that would otherwise be installed above the chassis.
Both versions of the SmartEdge 1200 router use the same chassis, but each version has a different integrated
air ramp. The NEBS-compliant router uses a NEBS-compliant air ramp; the standard version uses a
standard integrated air ramp. In all other respects, the two versions of the SmartEdge 1200 router are
identical.
Because the integrated air ramp cannot be removed from the chassis, the chassis itself is referred to as being
a NEBS-compliant chassis or a standard chassis. However, to complete the installation, when a
SmartEdge 1200 router is installed at the bottom of a rack, a removable NEBS-compliant air ramp is
required for the NEBS-compliant version of the router; a standard removable air ramp is required for the
standard version of the SmartEdge 1200 router.
Cross-Connect Route Processor (XCRP) Controller card (XCRP, XCRP3, XCRP4), unless
otherwise noted.
The term, Gigabit Ethernet, applies to any Ethernet traffic card that supports a port speed of
1 Gbps or greater; unless explicitly stated, the speed of any Gigabit Ethernet port is 1 Gbps.
Note In the descriptions that follow, the term SmartEdge 1200 applies to either version of the router,
unless otherwise noted. The terms SmartEdge 1200n and SmartEdge 1200s refer to the
NEBS-compliant and the standard versions of the router, respectively. Throughout this guide,
figures for the SmartEdge 1200 router illustrate the SmartEdge 1200n router, unless otherwise
noted.
NEBS-compliance standards are listed in Table 3-1 in the “Agency Compliance Information”
section on page 3-2.
Table 1-1 lists the product codes for the two types of SmartEdge 1200 chassis. The product codes identify
the type of air ramp that is integrated into the chassis.

Traffic Card Interfaces
The SmartEdge 1200 router supports a wide variety of interfaces, such as:
• Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) OC-192c/STM-64c
• Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) using SONET/SDH OC-3c/STM-1c, OC-12c/STM-4c
• 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-LX, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-T, and 1000Base-ZX; and
10000Base-ER, 10000Base-LR, and 10000Base-SR
Note Neither SmartEdge 1200 chassis provides support for traffic cards that require BNC
connections. For a list of traffic cards, see Table 1-5.
Packet Mesh Architecture
The SmartEdge 1200 router implements a grid of cross connections in its backplane that allows any traffic
card to communicate directly to any other traffic card in the chassis. The feature allows incoming packets
to be directly routed from the receiving traffic card to the traffic card that will transmit them to the network.
Each traffic card uses a combination of a Packet Mesh ASIC (PMA) and Packet Processing ASICs (PPAs)
to perform this function.
Redundancy
The architecture of the system is fully redundant for all traffic-affecting components. Redundancy features
include:
• Dual power connections, each with separate A-side and B-side power connections
• 1+1 Automatic Protection Switching (APS) protection for ATM second-generation traffic cards: 4-port

serious disruption of service, or the malfunction or failure of important circuits. It requires immediate
corrective attention and the response of a service engineer; for example, a link failure.
circuits that are not essential to network operation; for example, a carrier line problem for which
transmission has been switched to another line.
System Status
The system LEDs are located on the fan tray. These LEDs include status indicators for each of the chassis
power sources (A1, A2, B1, and B2), alarms (critical, major, and minor), fan status and ACO status, and an
alarm cutoff (ACO) button. The ACO button provides one means of silencing an audible alarm; pressing
the ACO button silences an audible alarm and lights the ACO LED; pressing the button again turns off the
ACO LED and, if the alarm condition has not been corrected, sounds the alarm.
Note Support for the ACO button depends on the release of the SmartEdge OS.

1-4 SmartEdge 1200 Router Hardware Guide
SmartEdge 1200 Chassis
The SmartEdge 1200 chassis is designed for mounting in a standard 19- or 23-inch rack. Figure 1-1 shows
the standard SmartEdge 1200 chassis; Figure 1-2 shows the SmartEdge 1200n chassis. Main features of the
chassis include:
• Chassis Card Cage
• Chassis Cooling
• Chassis Power
Chassis Card Cage
The SmartEdge 1200 chassis has a card cage with 14 slots. Two slots are dedicated to the controller cards
and 12 slots are available for a flexible combination of traffic cards.
All cards are installed at the front of the chassis. A cable tray provides the means to route the cables from
the front of the chassis to the external equipment. The cable tray requires no adjustments regardless of the
number and types of installed cables.
The rear of the chassis has connectors for alarm outputs, status inputs, dual external timing inputs for
synchronization, and dual RS-232 ports for local connections. Cable brackets at the rear of the chassis
provide the means for routing system cables and keeping them orderly.
System Components
Note The SmartEdge OS does not support the alarm, status, and RS-232 dial-up modem ports.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) jacks are conveniently located on both the front and the rear of the chassis.

System Description 1-5
System Components
Figure 1-2 NEBS-Compliant SmartEdge 1200n Chassis
Chassis Cooling
Cooling for the chassis is provided by the fan tray, which is installed directly above the card slots. Six fans
provide the needed airflow from the bottom of the chassis to the top with exhaust at the rear of the chassis.
An air filter is installed below the card cage and filters incoming air before it reaches the cards.
A single fan failure does not impact the operation of the system; however, to prevent overheating, the unit
must be replaced as soon as possible. To maintain the airflow through the chassis, empty slots must have
blank cards installed.
Caution Risk of equipment damage. SmartEdge router cards can be damaged by lack of cooling when
Chassis Power
The SmartEdge 1200 router power architecture has two power zones, each with primary and backup
sources. Primary sources are referred to as A sources; backup sources are B sources. A1 refers to the
primary power source for zone 1; B1 refers to the backup power source for zone 1. Both zones 1 and 2 must
be connected for the chassis to be operational; the connections can be any combination of A and B sources.
For a fully redundant power configuration, all four sources must be connected.
Zone 1 sources provide power to slots 1 to 7 in the chassis; zone 2 sources provide power to slots 8 to 14.
The chassis fan tray is powered from either zone.
the chassis has empty slots. To reduce the risk, every slot must have a controller, traffic, or
blank card installed in it to ensure proper airflow through the chassis.

Controller Cards
A controller card manages the system; it is responsible for the packet routing protocols, the SmartEdge OS
command-line interface (CLI), and communications with a network management system running the
NetOp™ Element Management System (EMS) software. The controller card also loads all configuration
information necessary for the traffic cards. Controller cards are installed in slots 7 and 8 in the
SmartEdge 1200 chassis. Controller cards are described in the following sections:
• Controller Card Versions
• Controller Card Features and Functions
Controller Card Versions
The SmartEdge router supports three versions of the controller cards:
• XCRP Controller card
Two versions of this controller card support either a DS-1 interface for BITS equipment (labeled
“XCRP-T1 BITS”) or an E1 interface for SSU equipment (labeled “XCRP-E1 SSU”).
• XCRP3 Controller card
Two versions of this card differ only in the total size of main memory. The interface to BITS or SSU
equipment is software selectable.
System Components
• XCRP4 Controller card
This controller card supports applications that require high volumes of traffic; it also supports more
subscribers than the other controller cards. Unlike the XCRP3 Controller card, the interface to BITS or
SSU equipment does not support the transmission of timing data to the external equipment.

Controller Card Features and Functions
A controller card has these features and functions:
• Processors
The XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards have two processors. One processor runs low-level software,
including device drivers and equipment management software; the second processor runs the routing
and broadband remote access server (BRAS) software. The XCRP4 Controller card has four processors:
one processor runs the low-level software and the other three processors run the BRAS and routing
software.
Note Support for more than one processor to run the BRAS and routing software depends on the
release of the SmartEdge OS.
•Main memory
Synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) is used by the SmartEdge OS shared databases that are
accessed by the traffic cards.
Note In a chassis with two controller cards, both cards must have the same memory configuration.
System Components
• NVRAM with battery
Each of the XCRP3 and XCRP4 Controller cards include 512 KB of non-volatile RAM (NVRAM),
which stores the current state of the system; because NVRAM is not affected by power failures or
system shutdown, the system can restore operations after such events. The NVRAM battery on the
XCRP4 Controller card is rechargeable; it is recharged from the power supplied to the SmartEdge router
during normal operations. The battery typically lasts more than two years when fully charged and
without benefit of being recharged by being powered on.
Note Support for NVRAM depends on the release of the SmartEdge OS.
• Internal, system, real-time, and time-of-day clocks
The internal clock onboard the XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards is a Stratum 3 oscillator at ±4.6 ppm
that supports free-run, normal, and holdover modes; the internal clock on an XCRP4 Controller card is
a SONET minimum clock (SMC) at ±20.0 ppm in free-run and normal modes only.
The system clock refers to the clock that performs system hardware timing functions, regardless of the
source of its timing data. Using the SmartEdge OS, you can specify external equipment (external timing
mode), the received clock of a traffic card (line timing mode), or the internal clock on the controller card
(internal mode) as the source for the system clock.
The real-time clock (RTC) on the XCRP3 and XCRP4 Controller cards is initialized before the system
is shipped. It is not affected by power failures, system shutdown, or reload. The RTC uses the NVRAM
battery.
By default, the source for the transmit clock for the ports on a traffic card is its onboard clock.
Depending on the type of traffic card, the transmit clock for a port on a traffic card can use instead the
receive clock derived from an incoming signal to the port or the system clock. Because a port does not
interface to the source of the system clock directly, traffic card synchronization is independent of the
type of external timing equipment and the version of the controller card installed in the chassis.
System Description 1-9
System Components
• Support for an external timing connection
Note The SmartEdge OS does not support transmission of data to external equipment.
• Internal storage for SmartEdge OS files
The time-of-day clock (TDC) for a SmartEdge router is implemented in software. When a system with
an XCRP3 or XCRP4 Controller card is powered on, the RTC sets the TDC; otherwise, the TDC is
undefined until it is configured and set using the SmartEdge OS. The TDC can be maintained by
synchronization with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Periodically, the SmartEdge OS updates
the RTC based on the current value of the TDC.
All controller cards support a BITS (DS-1) or SSU (E1) interface as a source for the system clock. For
the XCRP Controller card, the type of interface is identified by the label suffix on the card: “T1 BITS”
for DS-1 and “E1 SSU” for E1; for the XCRP3 and XCRP4 Controller cards, the type of interface is
software selectable.
The external timing interfaces allow the system clock operation to be independent of the type of external
equipment and the framing of the external line.
A controller card has one or two CF cards (Type I), which store SmartEdge OS images and files.
SmartEdge OS storage is organized into three partitions: p0, p1, and /flash. The p0 and p1 partitions
each store a system image and its files; the memory on a controller card can be loaded from either
partition. The third partition, /flash, stores SmartEdge OS configuration files and other system- and
user-created data files.
Note The capacity of the CF cards can vary; the CF cards installed in the active and standby
controller cards need not have the same capacity.
• Optional CF card
A controller card has an external slot on the front panel in which you can install an optional Type I or
Type II CF card. The XCRP4 Controller card supports Type I CF cards only. When installed (the system
is shipped with the slot empty), the CF card captures crash dumps and provides an alternate source for
loading SmartEdge OS software, if it is not possible to download it over the network.
Caution Risk of data loss. You can corrupt the system if you attempt to install a CF card not obtained
from Redback
®
because these items have not been tested with the SmartEdge router. To
reduce the risk, use only the CF cards provided by Redback.
Note If a CF card is installed in the active controller card, the standby controller card, if installed,
must also have a CF card installed; however, for the XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards, the
CF card types (Type I or Type II) need not match.
1-10 SmartEdge 1200 Router Hardware Guide
System Components
• Two types of operations ports for system management access—Craft and Ethernet:
— The XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards have two Craft ports, labeled “CRAFT 1” and “CRAFT 2”;
the XCRP4 Controller card has a single Craft port, labeled “CRAFT”. Each port has a DB-9
connector and provides an RS-232 connection to a local console terminal, a terminal server, or a
modem. The Craft port provides access to the SmartEdge OS CLI for configuring and monitoring
task; it is enabled on both the active and standby controller cards.
Note The CRAFT 2 port is the only enabled Craft port on the XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards.
— All controller cards have a single Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector that runs at 100 Mbps and
provides a connection to an Ethernet device such as a switch or hub. This port provides access to
the SmartEdge OS CLI from either a local or remote management workstation for configuring and
monitoring tasks. Using this port, the system can also communicate with a remote workstation that
is running the NetOp EMS software.
Note Support for 1-Gbps speed of the port on the XCRP4 Controller card depends on the release of
the SmartEdge OS.
Note The Ethernet management port on the standby controller card is disabled unless the card
becomes the active controller card.
• Temperature and voltage monitoring
Temperature is monitored at both air inlet and air outlet locations on a controller card;
an over-temperature interrupt signals the SmartEdge OS when the temperature rises above safe
operating conditions. Voltages are also monitored and reported to the SmartEdge OS. Administrators
can display both temperature and voltage data using commands in the SmartEdge OS CLI
• Fully redundant configuration:
— When two controller cards are installed in the SmartEdge 1200 chassis, one functions as the active
controller and the other card functions as the standby controller, providing full redundancy for
high-reliability networking requirements. In the event of a controller card failure, the redundant card
automatically becomes the active controller, thereby avoiding any unnecessary service disruption in
the network.
Note If you upgrade the active controller card with a new software release, the active controller
upgrades the standby controller.
— Redundancy extends to the console connections on the controller cards: the console ports can each
be connected to a terminal server, and the Ethernet management ports can be connected to the same
Ethernet hub, with individual cables.
— The software automatically switches to the external timing secondary source should the primary
source fail. If both sources fail, the active controller card uses an internal timing source.
