Product Overview
Product Overview
Section 1.1
Functional Overview
The RuggedBackbone™ RX1501 is a cost-efficient, rugged layer 3 switch and router. The RX1501’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 RX1501 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 RX1501 to
be placed in almost any location.

RuggedBackbone™ Modules
The RX1501 chassis provides seven module slots. Each slot accommodates a particular type of RuggedCom
module. Figure 1, “Chassis Slot Assignment” shows the module slots on the RX1501.
Figure 1: Chassis Slot Assignment
The RX1501 chassis supports the following modules:
Chapter 2
Parameter Description
LM1 through LM6 The RX1501 chassis supports up to six line module (LM) cards. For more information on line
All modules are built to the RuggedRated™ specifications of the RuggedBackbone™ RX1501. 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 RX1501.
Section 2.2
Front Panel
The RX1501 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.
