Product Overview

Product Overview

Section 1.1

Functional Overview

The RuggedBackbone™ RX1510 is a cost-efficient, rugged layer 3 switch and router. The RX1510’s modular
and field replaceable platform allows you to select WAN, serial, and Ethernet options, making it ideally suited for
electric power utilities, the industrial plant floor, and traffic control systems. The appliance’s compact form factor
makes it ideal for pole mount applications or installation in restricted spaces.

The RX1510 is designed to the RuggedRated™ specification, providing a high level of immunity to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and heavy electrical surges typical of the harsh environments found in many
industrial applications. An operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F) allows the RX1510 to
be placed in almost any location.

RuggedBackbone™ Modules

RuggedBackbone™ Modules

The RX1510 chassis provides six module slots. Each slot accommodates a particular type of RuggedCom
module. Figure 1, “Chassis Slot Assignment” shows the module slots on the RX1510.

Chapter 2

Figure 1: Chassis Slot Assignment

The RX1510 chassis supports the following modules:

Parameter Description

LM1 through LM4 The RX1510 chassis supports up to four line module (LM) cards. For more information on line

All modules are built to the RuggedRated™ specifications of the RuggedBackbone™ RX1510. Each module type
is described in the following sections.

Section 2.1

modules, see Section 2.3, “Line Modules (LM)”.

Installing a Module

To install a module into the RuggedBackbone™ chassis, align the module guide ribs with the channels on
the chassis. Push the module in as far as it will go, being sure to push through the resistance provided by the
grounding springs. When properly seated, the module flange will rest on the main chassis frame. Tighten the
thumbscrews using finger strength only.

NOTE

Serial line modules are hot-swappable, meaning they can be removed and installed while the device is
running.

When installing a serial line module while the device is running, make sure internal VLANs are
enabled. For more information about configuring VLANs, refer to the ROX User Guide for the RX1510.

Section 2.2

Front Panel

The RX1510 Front Panel is equipped with an RS232 serial console port for initial management functions, and a
locally connected 10/100Base-T Ethernet port for system management out of band from the switch fabric.
