Telecommunications Regulations

Equipment that complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules includes a label or permanent marking on the printed circuit board that connects to the network that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult a trained technician.

Equipment that meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specifications is conformed by the registration number. Equipment that complies with Industry rules includes a label or permanent marking on the printed circuit board that connects to the network. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that the registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.

Vanguard 7300 Functions and Features

Feature Cards and Mezzanine Cards

Vanguard 7300 Series products are highly scalable with Vanguard Managed Solutions-supplied option cards and half-size Mezzanine Cards. Currently Vanguard 7300 Series products support these full-size cards:

• Processor Card (the Central Processor Unit (CPU))

- MPC750 - with a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port

- IBM750FX - with two 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet ports

• Carrier Expansion Card

• T1/E1/PRI Card with T1/E1/PRI Rear Transition Module

• T3/E3 ATM Card that includes:

- Standard Carrier Expansion Card

- T3/E3 Rear Transition Module

• Serial Card with Serial Rear Transition Module

• Token Ring Card

Each of these cards occupies a full slot in a Vanguard 7300 chassis.

The Vanguard 7300 Series also supports the following half-size piggyback cards, Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Mezzanine Cards, known as PMCs:

• 10/100BaseT Ethernet PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC)

• Voice PCI Mezzanine Card (a custom T1/E1/PRI card PMC)

• T3 ATM PCI Mezzanine Card (a custom T3 ATM card PMC)

• Advanced Encryption Card (AEC)

A Vanguard 7300 PMC does not require a chassis slot, but mounts on top of one of the full-size Vanguard 7300 cards. The full-size card serves as the PMC’s host.

For example, a single 10/100 BaseT Ethernet PMC can be hosted by the Vanguard 7300 CPU Card, or two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet PMCs can be hosted by the Carrier Expansion Card. The T1/E/1PRI Card’s Voice PMC can only be hosted by a Vanguard 7300’s T1/E1/PRI Card.

slot is equipped with male J1 connectors (pins). The plug-in cards use socket (female) connectors. The same type of connectors are used on the rear side of the midplane to accept rear I/O transition modules. Midplane connectors have external metal shields for proper shielding and grounding in noisy environments. Controlled impedance minimizes unwanted signal reflections.

Figure 1-13 shows the standard five CompactPCI card connectors that make up the CompactPCI bus interface and the user input/output sub-bus. The following table summarizes the function of the standard card connectors:

CompactPCI cards and rear transition modules plug into the midplane’s front and rear pin connectors. Each card or module uses IEC-approved 110-pin connectors for power, ground, and all 32-bit and 64-bit PCI signals, rather than card-edge connectors.

PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC)

Introduction 10/100BaseT Ethernet Mezzanine Cards (PMCs)can be installed in the PMC slot on

the CPU card and in the two PMC slots on the Carrier Expansion Card. Because a PMC does not require a full slot, it is mounted on a full-size card that serves as its host. The following full-size Vanguard 7300 cards can host PMCs:

• CPU Card (one PMC slot)

• Carrier Expansion Card (two PMC slots)

Dual-port 10/100BaseT Ethernet Mezzanine Card (PMC)

Description The 10/100BaseT Ethernet Mezzanine Card (PMC) mounts on the CPU card and

on the Carrier Expansion Card. This 10/100BaseT Ethernet PMC provides two auto-sensing ports that can switch between 10BaseT and 100BaseT, depending on the link data rate, to provide the highest possible 10 or 100 Mbps throughput.

An auto-sensing port detects the speed of hubs and adapters and negotiates automatically for the maximum possible throughput speed. The Vanguard 7300 Ethernet interface complies with the IEEE 802.3 for 10BaseT and 100BaseT.

Front View The 10/100BaseT Ethernet PMC provides two RJ45 connectors and six indicator

LEDs on the front panel as shown in Figure 2-15:

T1/E1/PRI Card and Rear Transition Module

Introduction T1/E1/PRI card functions are provided by a two-part card that occupies a single

Vanguard 7300 chassis slot: the T1/E1/PRI card and the T1/E1/PRI Rear Transition Module, which is shielded with an attached metal jacket. The following versions of the T1/E1/PRI card are available:

•8-Port

•12-port

Ports 1 and 2 can be cabled for either voice or data (but not both); ports 3 through 8 or 12 are data-only.

T1/E1/PRI Card

The T1/E1/PRI card offers high-density termination of voice and data traffic on the same card. Each card can support up to 12 physical rear transition module ports. Each port can be configured to run as an independent T1, E1, or ISDN PRI port.

T1/E1/PRI Rear Transition Module

The metal-jacket-shielded T1/E1/PRI rear transition module connects to the T1/E1/ PRI card and provides 12 RJ48C rear panel connectors. There is only a 12-port version of the T1/E1/PRI rear transition module; the 8-port version has 12 physical ports, but only eight of those ports function. Voice transmission is available only on ports 1 and 2.

T1/E1/PRI Card Functions

T1/E1/PRI Timing Considerations

The T1/E1/PRI card supports:

• Channelized or fractional T1/E1 support

• ISDN PRI to support dial-backup or bandwidth-on-demand voice operations

• Up to 24 channels for each physical T1 or T1/PRI port and up to 31 channels for each physical E1 or E1/PRI port

• Voice functions with the optional Voice Server/DSP PMC installed

• Termination of voice and data traffic on different ports of the same card (with a Voice Server/DSP PMC installed)

The T1/E1/PRI card can accept up to three independent clock sources; however, all circuits connected to ports 1 through 4 must be synchronized to the same source to prevent frame slips.

Similarly, ports 5 through 8 can be synchronized to a different clock source from 1 through 4, but must all be synchronized to the same source. Ports 9 through 12 comprises a third timing group.

Voice connections can be connected only to ports 1 and 2. Voice and data cannot be combined on a single T1/E1/PRI port. For example, when you designate port 1 as a voice port, it cannot carry data. Similarly, you can specify port 2 as either voice or data, but never both, and ports 3 through 12 are restricted to data only.

T3/E3 ATM Card

Introduction The T3/E3 ATM Card is a Compact PCI card that provides an intelligent connection

between the ATM layer and the T3/E3 physical data port.

Functionality The T3/E3 ATM Card functionality is provided by a two-part card that occupies a

single Vanguard 7300 chassis slot: a standard Carrier Expansion Card with the PMC mounted, and the T3/E3 Rear Transition Module.

The T3/E3 ATM Card supports:

• Standard T3/E3 physical interface with the T3/E3 Rear Transition Module installed

• Non-channelized, T3/E3

• Supports both T3 (up to 44.736 Mbps) and E3 interfaces (up to 34.368 Mbps)

• ATM User to Network Interface (UNI) version 3.1 with the ATM PMC installed

• ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5)

• Constant Bit Rate (CBR)

• Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR)

• Variable Bit Rate (VBR - real time and non-real time)

• FRF.8 Transparent Mode

• Annex G Termination

• SNMP Agent

• Internal and external clocking

• Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC)

• Up to 4000 Virtual Channel Connections (VCC)

• Maximum coaxial cable length of 450 feet

ATM CBR Station Configuration

Occasionally Constant Bit Rate ATM stations can become deactivated. (The total aggregate PCR does not exceed the link speed.) This occurs because the CBR scheduling is very rigid and has to fit into the transmit scheduling table in a certain way. Even though it appears that bandwidth is available, if it does not fit in the scheduling table, the station is not created. To increase the chances of fitting into the scheduling table, the larger CBR entries (PCR rate) should be created first. Use VBR stations instead.

Carrier Expansion Card

The Carrier Expansion Card provides an interface:

• between the PMC Segmentation And Reassembly (SAR) module and T3/E3 Rear Transition Module and

• between the SAR module and host

This Card supports one slot (Slot 1) for the T3/E3 ATM PMC.

Transition Module Port Connector and Configuration

Baud-Rate Generator

Each port has a dedicated connector and is independently configured and cabled. For each port, physical interface protocol selection is controlled by software and can be set to EIA 232, V.35, V.36, X.21, EIA 530, or EIA530A. The port’s interface cable determines DTE/DCE.

All serial cable connections to this chassis slot are made at Transition Module ports. For node configuration, port numbering is unique to the Vanguard 7300 and is described in “Vanguard 7300 Port Configuration” section on page 4-7.

A programmable clock generator for each channel can generate all of the clock speeds listed in the following table:

Clock Speed (in Kbps)

Clock Timing

Timing The 7300 serial cards can be clocked Internal, External, ExtInt, and ExtLp with no

restrictions between ports or speeds up to 8,196,000bps. These timing modes are the same as other standard Vanguard products. The recommended Timing configuration for all applications is ExtInt on the DCE side and ExtLp on the DTE side (except for X.21). This is required for all higher speed connections to work reliably.

Clocked 7300 Port as DCE 7300 Port as DTE

Internal Uses an internal oscillator and

provides clock on both the Transmit and Receive clock lines.

External Expects a clock on External

Transmit Clock line supplied by the attached device. Uses an internal oscillator to provide clock on the Receive Clock line.

Uses an internal oscillator to provide clock on the External Transmit Clock line. Expects a clock supplied by the attached device on Receive Clock line.

Expects a clock supplied by the attached device on both Transmit and Receive Clock lines.

ExtInt Uses an internal oscillator to pro-

N/A vide clock to the attached device on the Receive Clock line. Expects the attached device to loop the Receive Clock around and provide it on the External Transmit Clock line.

ExtLP N/A Expects the attached device to

provide a clock on Receive

Clock line and will loop this

clock around and provide it on

the External Transmit Clock line.

T1/E1 Card The T1/E1 card has three groups of 4 ports (2 groups for an 8 port card). Each T1/E1

card can have a maximum of 3 different time bases on a single 12 port card (2 for 8 port cards), one on each of the groups.

The Time base for all four ports in each group must be the same, either from an external source within the group, another group, another card or an internal oscillator. You can set each port to Internal, Primary External (Prim_Ext), or Secondary External (Sec-Ext). This setting determines whether the attached device provides the timing or accepts timing from each port and also sets the priority of this clock.

• There are three types of clock buses in the node, Group Clock, Card Clock and System Clock. There are three Group Clock busses on each twelve-port card (two for 8 port cards), one for each group of four ports. This locks the timing of each of the four ports in a group together.

2-36 Vanguard 7300 Enclosures and Components

Vanguard 7300 Cards

• There is one Card Clock on each card. Card Clock allows you to lock multiple Groups together and must be used for voice ports.

• There is one System Clock bus in the node, which allows you to lock multiple cards together.

You set each group on a card (four ports) as to whether it participates in Card Clock or not and you set the card as to whether it participates in System Clock.

Figure 2-25 shows this arrangement, with X’s showing where the connections points are located.

If you have an external device providing a clock to a port, that clock, if it is the first, highest priority clock in the group will drive the Group clock. You can configure Group Clock to drive Card Clock. Card Clock can then be used to synchronize different Groups and/or to drive System Clock. System clock can be used to synchronize multiple cards.

If you are running Voice, the PCM encoded port must be on ports 1-2 and the Group Clock (for group 1) must be set to Card Clock.

Advanced Encryption Card (AEC)

Introduction Release 6.4 and greater supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

encryption for the Vanguard 7300 Series using the Advanced Encryption Card (AEC). The 7300 AEC supports DES, 3DES, and AES.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

The Advanced Encryption Standard is a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), which specifies a cryptographic algorithm for use by organizations to protect sensitive, classified information. AES provides a better combination of security and speed than DES or Triple-DES. AES has more elegant mathematical formulas behind it, and only requires one pass to encrypt data. AES was designed from the ground up to be fast, unbreakable and able to support the smallest computing devices imaginable. The big differentiators between AES and Triple-DES are the strength of security, superior performance and better use of resources. AES provides faster encryption and compatibility with the widest range of devices. Without AES, it would be necessary to have different encryption technologies for application-specific purposes, such as wireless e-mail, financial transactions or quality-of-servicespecific applications.

AES is defined for 128, 192 and 256 bit key lengths.

Release 6.4 and greater supports the 7300 Encryption Card for the Vanguard 7300 Series. Please refer to the Virtual Private Network (VPN) Manual (Part Number T0103-10) and the Encryption Manual (Part Number T0103-09) for more information.

How to Choose a Site

Introduction Before you install a Vanguard 7300 Series router, select a site for the device. The site

should be free of accumulated dust and environmental extremes. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for detailed dimensions.

Power Requirements

Air and Cable Clearances

Rackmount Weight Consideration

Choose a site that is within an appropriate distance (approximately six feet) of a power source. Depending on your application and the country in which the Vanguard 7300 Series product is to operate, the power source must be a grounded 100 to 240 V AC outlet, 60 to 50 Hz.

The Vanguard 7300 Series DC input version specifications are -40VDC to -72VDC input (-48 DC version) with a maximum input current at -40VDC. See Appendix A, Specifications, for specific electrical information.

Allow at least 20 inches (50.7 cm.) of clearance in front of a Vanguard 7300 chassis to open the door, to attach cables, and to replace cards. Leave at least 20 inches (50.7 cm) behind the unit for card removal, cable clearance, and air circulation.

Caution

Vanguard Managed Solutions 7300 series products should be used in environments designed for computers and electronic equipment. In areas susceptible to lightning, take precautions to prevent damage to electronic equipment. Contact your telephone company, or an electronic accessories vendor, for information on lightning protection equipment. Customers experiencing problems caused by surges from lightning can eliminate such problems by installing appropriate surge suppressors on power and data lines connected to Vanguard 7300 Series products.

To avoid hazards arising from uneven mechanical loading of the rack, plan your installation so that (within the limitations of equipment and cabling) the weight of the equipment is evenly distributed in the rack. Mount the heaviest units towards the bottom of the rack.

3-6 Vanguard 7300 Installation

How to Choose a Site

Thermal Considerations

Introduction This section describes some of the heat and temperature factors that can affect your

Vanguard 7300 Series router.

Fan After the unit is installed, power it up to be sure the fans are working properly.

Inlet Temperature After the unit is running, check the ambient air temperature. Make sure it does not

exceed the operating temperature limits specified in Appendix A.

• The components of the system require an input air temperature of 5º C to 40º C (41º F to 104º F)

• Operation between 40º C and 50º C (104º F and 122º F) is permitted for intervals less than 96 hours

Note

On the Vanguard 7300 Version 2 Series routers, do not block the air intake located on the left side of the chassis, or the exhaust air outlet located at the rear right side.

Thermal Shutdown If a Vanguard 7300 Series router is not properly cooled, the power supply overheats

and shuts down, a process called thermal shutdown. The power supply remains off until it cools, after which it automatically comes back on again.

Thermal shutdown occurs when the internal Vanguard 7300 temperature is too high. Overheating can occur due to any of these conditions:

• Blocked vents

• Insufficient clearance around the unit

• Air inlet temperatures exceeds the operating limits

After the unit cools, it automatically powers on again. However, the unit continues to shut down automatically until the problem is corrected.

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

Antistatic Precautions

Vanguard Managed Solutions recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading the system. Electronic components such as card and modules can be extremely sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). After removing the component from the chassis or its protective wrapper, place the component flat on a grounded, static-free surface; and, in the case of a card, component-side up. Do not slide the components over any surface.

If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap. Wrap one end of a wrist grounding strap around your wrist. Attach the grounding end (usually a piece of copper foil or an alligator clip) to an electrical ground. An electrical ground can be a piece of metal that literally runs into the ground (such as an unpainted metal pipe) or a metal part of a grounded electrical appliance.
