The CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER statements that appear throughout this manual are intended to provide critical information for the safety of both the service engineer and operator. These statements also enhance equipment reliability. The following definitions and symbols for CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER as they are used comply with ANSI Z535.2, American National Standard for Environmental and Facility Safety Signs, and ANSI Z535.4, Product Safety Signs and Labels, issued by the American National Standards Institute.
Safety Guidelines
Always use the following guidelines when unsafe conditions exist or when potentially hazardous voltages are present:
Always use caution and common sense.• Repairs must be performed by qualified service personnel only.• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not operate equipment with the cover removed.• Never install telephone jacks in a wet location unless the jack is designed for that location.• Never touch uninsulated wires or terminals unless the line is disconnected at the network interface.•
Antistatic Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) results from the buildup of static electricity and can cause computer components to fail. Electrostatic discharge occurs when a person whose body contains a static buildup touches a computer component. This product may contain static-sensitive devices that are easily damaged. Proper handling, grounding and precautionary ESD measures are essential when installing parts or cards. Keep parts and cards in antistatic packaging when not in use or during transport. If possible, use antistatic floorpads and workbench pads.
004
4 Safety Information
When handling components, always use an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or chassis. If a wrist strap is not available, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the equipment. Never use a conductive tool, like a screwdriver or a paper clip, to set switches.

Chapter 1: Introduction and Specifications
Overview
The PacketMate 1400 Router is GDC's high-performance midrange router for applications that require wire-speed performance over T1/E1, DS3/E3, OC3/STM1, OC12/STM4 and gigabit ethernet connections. The PacketMate 1400 Router supports options for AC or DC power and redundant AC or DC power. It includes an easy-to-service 19-inch 2U rackmount chassis with locking access door, removable processor card, special high-performance memory, PCI Express backplane, and onboard dual 10/100/1000 ethernet ports. The PacketMate 1400 Router also uses flash storage with no moving parts to maximize reliability.
The PCI expansion slots accept Industrial Series network cards with Ethernet, sync serial, T1/E1, DS3/E3, analog FXO/FXS, BRI, PRI, and 56K dial-up interfaces. With these add-on cards, the PacketMate can connect different data and voice networks using a wide range of communications standards.
The base PacketMate 1400 Router is guaranteed to route two DS3/E3 circuits at wire speed, 16 T1/E1 circuits at wire speed, or more than 100 Mbps full duplex with 64-byte packets over Ethernet. With the optional CPU upgrade, the PacketMate can deliver up to 70% higher Ethernet throughput with VoIP traffic, and over 6 Gbps aggregate or 3 Gbps full duplex with large packets.

Chapter 2: Installation and Setup
Overview
The PacketMate 1400 Router is pre-assembled, tested, and ready for use. This chapter provides procedures for installing the unit, power connections, the product cards, and finally, making system connections. If this is your first installation, you should be familiar with Chapter 1, Introduction and Specifications , for a better understanding of the features and use of the unit in your network.
Unpacking Instructions
The unit components are shipped in shock-absorbent packing within a corrugated box. Remove each component from the box and perform a thorough visual inspection. If damage has occurred to any component, contact the shipper immediately. All damaged components must be retained until an inspection by the shipper has been completed. If it is necessary to re-package and return the unit, use the original packing materials and

box.
Installation Procedures
Unpacking The Router
This section describes the installation of the PacketMate 1400 Router and it?s standard equipment. It does not describe the configuration or other details of specific plug-in product cards UAS family products that it houses; for that information, refer to Related Publications on page ii.
External devices are connected to the router through standard connectors ports which are located on the front panel of the router and the ports on optional cards located on the rear panel.
•
Place the unit in a ventilated area where the ambient temperature does not exceed 104oF (40oC).• Do not install the unit directly above equipment that generates a large amount of heat (such as power supplies).
•
AC Power Connection
Before making connections, determine whether the unit can be powered from the same AC circuit as the Business Equipment it will be communicating with. Having the unit and the Business Equipment on the same AC circuit prevents large circulating currents caused by differences in ground potential.
Note
If you cannot determine whether both devices are on the same circuit, verify that the potential difference between the grounding circuits of the respective power outlets is no more than 0.25V rms.
To connect the unit to power, perform the following steps:
Attach the power cord to the rear panel IEC connector and to a wall receptacle or surge protector device that supplies the required AC power.
1.
Turn the power switch to the ON (1) position.2. Verify that the front panel power LED illuminates to indicate the PacketMate is supplying power to the router.
3.
Booting the PacketMate 1400 Router
When you start up the router, it carries out the following functions during the booting process:
Self-diagnostics are performed. The results are displayed to the console port.1. A selection dialog is displayed that allows the router to be booted into its standard operating mode, failsafe, or the memory test module.
2.
If no boot option is chosen, Enterprise Linux will load in normal operating mode.3. The user configuration is loaded from nonvolatile flash memory.4.
