Canada Requirements Only
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or
alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines
and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
Notice: For equipment using loopstart lines, please note that the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each
terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone
interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement
that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5. The REN is located on the “FCC
Rules Part 68” label located on the bracket of the module, or on the back of the unit.
Canada CS-03 -- Règles et règlements
Av i s : L'étiquette d'Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est
conforme aux normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications, comme le
prescrivent les documents concernant les exigences techniques relatives au matériel terminal. Le Ministère n'assure
toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.
Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise
locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de
raccordement. L'abonné ne doit pas oublier qu'il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus
n'empêche pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur.
L'entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou
de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d'énergie électrique,
des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d'eau métalliques, s'il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution
est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.
Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service
d'inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
Av i s : Veuillez prendre note que pour tout appareillage supportant des lignes de type “loopstart,” l'indice d'équivalence
de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être
raccordés à une interface. La terminaison d'une interface téléphonique peut consister en une combinaison de quelques
dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d'indices d'équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n'excède pas

installation procedure may differ slightly, depending on your cable system.
Preparing to Install the ARN
Verify the following before beginning the installation, as explained in the sections
that follow:
• Your shipment is complete and undamaged.
• You have the proper equipment and tools.
114200-E Rev 00
1-1
Installing and Operating Passport ARN Routers
• Your installation site meets physical, electrical, and environmental
requirements.
• You have the communications devices and the cabling that you need to attach
to the ARN.
Verifying Shipment Contents
You should inspect all items for shipping damage. If you detect any damage, do
not install the ARN. Call the Nortel Networks Technical Solutions Center in your
area, as described in “How to Get Help.”
In addition to the ARN and this guide, your shipping container should contain
several other hardware accessory items. Verify that the items in the shipping
container match those on the packing list affixed to the shipping container.
Refer to the following checklist when verifying the contents of the shipping
container:
__ One power cable for connecting the ARN to a wall outlet.
__ One console/modem cable kit (Order No. 110310) for connecting an optional
local console or modem. The console/modem cable kit contains one 15-foot
AT standard molded serial cable (with DB-9 receptacle to DB-25 plug
connectors) and one null modem crossover adapter (with DB-25 to DB-25
receptacle connectors).
1-2
__ Two flange brackets, eight #6 Phillips screws, four #10 cagenut screws and
washers, and four cage nuts for rack-mounting the ARN.
___Four rubber feet for table-top operation.

Installing and Operating Passport ARN Routers
Additional Equipment
To install the ARN, you may need some additional items that are not part of the
ARN accessory package. Before installing the ARN hardware, ensure that you
obtain all the cables, tools, and other equipment that you need.
Cables
Unless they were specifically ordered, the cables necessary for your network
configuration are not part of the ARN accessory package. If you do not have the
proper cables, contact your network administrator or see the Cable Guide.
Management Console
You can attach an optional computer terminal or PC as a console to the ARN to
monitor the results of startup diagnostics and perform manual boot configurations.
Or you can attach any AT-compatible modem to allow remote dial-in access to
diagnostics and configuration.
To use the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot options for booting
Note:
and configuring the ARN (see Chapter 3, “Operating the ARN”), you must
have a local terminal connected the first time the ARN powers up.
1-4
Mounting Hardware
To rack-mount the ARN, you need a Phillips screwdriver and an electronic
enclosure rack that meets the following specifications:
• Heavy-duty steel construction
• Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard hole-spacing
• Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)
If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you must use cage nuts (see
Figure 1-1
) to use with the cagenut screws.
114200-E Rev 00
Verifying Site Requirements
The installation site must provide a certain amount of free space around the ARN
to dissipate heat, as detailed in Ta bl e 1 -1
Table 1-1. Installation Space Requirements
Width Depth (minimum) Depth (for servicing)
22.5 in. (57.2 cm) 15 in. (38.1 cm) 25 in. (63.5 cm)
In addition, the installation site must meet the electrical and environmental
specifications listed in Appendix C.
Installing the ARN
.
Caution:
You must use grounded electrical power outlets with the ARN.
Installing the ARN
When you are ready to install the ARN in its final location, you have two options:
• Position the ARN on a flat, sturdy, horizontal surface.
• Mount the ARN in an electronic enclosure rack.
Positioning the ARN on a Flat Surface
When positioning the ARN on a flat surface, make sure that the surface is:
• Large enough for the ARN to operate properly (Table 1-1)
• Sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the ARN and any cables
that you connect
You should place the self-adhesive, rubber feet (shipped with the ARN) on the
bottom of the ARN chassis. These feet not only protect the surface on which you
position the ARN, they provide added friction against the weight of any cables
that you attach to the device.
114200-E Rev 00
1-5
Installing and Operating Passport ARN Routers
Rack-Mounting the ARN
For this procedure, you need:
• Two flange brackets and eight #6 Phillips screws (shipped with the ARN)
• A Phillips screwdriver
• An electronic enclosure rack. If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you
must attach the four cage nuts shipped with the ARN.
• Four #10 cagenut screws and washers (shipped with the ARN)
To rack-mount the ARN:
1. Determine how you want the ARN to fit in the equipment rack.
Multiple holes in the flange brackets provide several options for
rack-mounting the ARN. How you attach the flange brackets determines how
far the router extends outside or remains inside the rack. Figure 1-2
three of the most common locations for the brackets.
2. Attach a flange bracket to each side of the ARN.
a. Align four bracket holes with four holes in the ARN enclosure
(Figure 1-2)
