Product Overview
Product Overview
Section 1.1
Functional Overview
The RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 is a high-port density routing and switching platform, designed to operate in
harsh environments. The RX5000 can withstand high levels of electromagnetic interference, radio frequency
interference, and a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The RX5000 is designed to meet the challenging
climatic and environmental demands found in utility, industrial, and military network applications.
The RX5000’s superior hardware design, coupled with the embedded ROX operating system, provides improved
system reliability for the most demanding network applications. The cyber security and networking features make
it ideally suited for creating secure Ethernet networks for mission critical, real-time, control applications.
The RX5000 is a scalable, modular platform providing the the ability to change the RuggedBackbone™ as the
network grows and needs change.
The RuggedEnclosure™ is rated for IP65 ingress protection, meaning that it is dust tight and can withstand water
from a nozzle in any direction. Constructed with aluminum extrusions with fins on both sides and combined with
high reliability internal circulation fans, the enclosure optimizes heat transfer without the exchange of outside air
and improves the MTBF for the enclosed electronics.

RuggedBackbone™ RX5000
Installation Guide
Installing A Module In The Chassis
To install a module in the the RuggedBackbone™ chassis, align the module guide ribs with the channels on the
chassis and push the module in as far as it will go. There is a detent position that must be pushed through to
properly seat the connectors; this is the added resistance from 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 RX5000.
Section 2.2
Control Module
The Control Module (CM) is the central processing unit of the RuggedBackbone™ chassis. The ROX operating
system running on the CM controls and coordinates the functions of all modules installed in the system. The
Control Module is installed in the CM slot of the chassis, as shown in Figure 1, “Chassis Slot Assignment”.

Figure 2: Control Module
The CM 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.
Other CM features include:
• Alarm Indicator LED, which indicates system alarm status.
• Removable 1GB Compact Flash (CF) card, which contains active and fallback installations of the ROX
operating system, the configuration database, and other system data.
• Critical Alarm Relay, activated by the operating system to indicate a critical alarm.
• Lamp Test / Alarm Cutoff button.
• Utility USB port (as yet unused).
For detailed instructions on connecting to the ports on the CM, see the following:
• Serial Console: Section 3.4, “Serial Console Ports”
• Management Ethernet Interface: Section 3.5, “Copper Ethernet Ports”

Switch Module
The Switch Module (SM) is the Ethernet switch fabric central to the RuggedBackbone™ RX5000. It provides
one Gbps of bandwidth to each installed Line Module and two 1Gbps ports to (optional) connectors on its own
faceplate. The Switch Module is installed in the SM slot of the chassis, as shown in Figure 1, “Chassis Slot
Assignment”.
Switch Modules can be ordered as separate components with copper, LC fiber, or with no Ethernet ports. Refer
to the RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 data sheet for complete ordering details.

Power Module
The RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 can be equipped with one or two Power Modules (PM). Not only do two power
supplies provide redundancy, but the RX5000 is also able to balance the load it places on each one.
Each Power Module is capable of delivering a maximum of 100W, and accepts either AC or DC power at its input.
Power Supply Modules are installed in the PM1 or PM2 slots of the chassis, as shown in the Figure 1, “Chassis
Slot Assignment” diagram.
Power Supply Modules can be ordered as separate components. Refer to the RuggedBackbone™ RX5000
datasheet for complete ordering details.
