1. Product Overview

1. Product Overview

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. This
platform is designed to meet the challenging climatic and environmental demands found in utility,
industrial and military network applications.

The RX5000’s superior ruggedized hardware design, coupled with the embedded ROX™ operating
system provides improved system reliability when your network needs it the most. 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, hot-swappable, modular platform which provides its users with the ability
to change the RuggedBackbone™ as their network grows or their 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 combined with high reliability internal circulation fans optimizes heat transfer without exchange
of outside air and improves MTBF for the enclosed electronics.

The combination of the RuggedEnclosure™ and the MX5000 RuggedBackbone™ provides an
extremely flexible package that has MIL-STD approvals and continues RuggedCom’s tradition of
pioneering advanced networking solutions specifically for the harsh environments found in military
applications.

2. RuggedBackbone™ Modules

2. RuggedBackbone™ Modules

The RX5000 chassis comprises ten slots, each one of which is designed to accommodate a particular
module. Figure 2.1 shows the rear panel view of the RX5000. The slot name at each position (“PM1”,
“L1”, etc.) denotes the type of module that may be installed at that position in the chassis.

Figure 2.1. Chassis Slot Assignment

The slot name markings in the diagram above represent the following RuggedBackbone™ modules:

CM

The Control Module is the central processing unit of the system. Refer to Section 2.2: Control

Module for detail.

SM

The Switch Module contains the chassis-wide Ethernet switch fabric that interconnects Ethernet
ports on all installed line modules. Refer to Section 2.3: Switch Module for detail.

L1..L6

One or more Line Module cards may be installed - refer to Section 2.4: Line Modules for detail.

PM1, PM2

Dual, redundant, power supply modules may be installed - refer to Section 2.5: Power Module
for detail.

All supported modules are built to the RuggedRated™ specifications of the RuggedBackbone™
RX5000. Each of the module types is detailed in the following sections.

2.1. Installing A Module In The Chassis

In order to install a module into 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.

RuggedCom® RuggedBackbone™ 9 RX5000 Installation Guide Rev106

2. RuggedBackbone™ Modules

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 2.1, “Chassis Slot Assignment”.

Figure 2.2. 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 features of the CM 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, along with 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).

Detailed information on connecting to the ports on the CM can be found in this guide as follows:

RuggedCom® RuggedBackbone™ 10 RX5000 Installation Guide Rev106

2. RuggedBackbone™ Modules

• Serial Console: Section 3.4, “Serial Console Ports”

• Management Ethernet Interface: Section 3.5, “Copper Ethernet Ports”

• Critical Alarm (Failsafe) Relay Interface: Section 3.3, “Critical Alarm Relay”

2.3. 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 2.1, “Chassis Slot Assignment”.

Switch Modules may 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.
