Introduction

Safety Precautions

REVIEW DRAFT - CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

•Check the power at your site before router installation (and periodically after installation) to ensure clean

power (free of spikes and noise) is being received.

•Always disconnect the power source and unplug the power cable before working on the router.

•Install proper grounding for the site to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.

To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network

voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some

LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021

Warning

There is the danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with the

same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the

manufacturer's instructions. Statement 1015

Warning

Environmental Monitoring Temperature Sensor

The Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Routers has a temperature sensor to detect over temperature

conditions inside the chassis. The over temperature detection trips at 158°F (70°C). This condition is reported

to the processor as an interrupt, where the software generates the appropriate alarms. If the router reaches a

temperature of 181.4°F (83°C), the power supply cycles itself to prevent the router from exceeding the

maximum temperature while being powered up.

The following table provides the over temperature alert settings.

Introduction

Environmental Monitoring Temperature Sensor

REVIEW DRAFT - CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

•The power input is provided on the extreme right through an IP-65 compliant gland for DC. An ordinary

DC cable can be routed through the gland. For AC inputs, a special IP-65 compliant connector system

should be used. The AC input cable can be removed from the system without opening the door.

•Each SFP port is connected with an LC-LC patch cable from the SFP module to the bottom panel. For

the external connectivity, an LC cable system with IP-65 sealing should be used.

•For configurations with two or three SFP ports, one or two copper ports will have an internal patch cable

arrangement. For these configurations, an external RJ-45 connection with IP-65 sealing should be used.

•For configurations with four SFP ports, the RJ-45 connections for the copper ports with common copper

cables (non IP-65 compliant) should be used. These cables can be routed through the four-wire gland

shown adjacent to the power entry cable.

•The alarm port has a single Cat5e cable routed through the four-wire gland.

•The management, Ethernet, and console ports are usually not used in the OSP because the access to the

router is limited (the Wi-Fi interface is used instead). However, when these ports are used, the

corresponding cables should be routed through the four-wire gland.

In certain configurations, like 4 SFPs, 2 CUs, and alarm, it is not possible to route the

console and management ports through the four-wire gland.

Note

•For the optical ports, multimode patch cables are supplied by default with the router. The single mode

cables can be ordered separately.

REVIEW DRAFT - CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

Site Planning

Ideally, you should have prepared the installation site beforehand. As part of your preparation, obtain a plan

of the site and the equipment rack where the Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router would be

housed. Determine the location of any existing routers and their interconnections, including communications

and power.

All personnel involved in the installation of the router including installers, engineers, and supervisors should

participate in the preparation of a Method of Procedure (MOP) for approval by the customer.

Site Environment

Every network application is a unique installation. Before installing the Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation

Services Router, you should perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking components

and to maximize range, coverage, and network performance.

Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:

•Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio range

is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver sensitivity occurs as the radio data

increases.

•Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio

range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height. However, do not place the

antenna higher than necessary, because the extra height also increases potential interference from other

unlicensed radio systems and decreases the wireless coverage from the ground.

•Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas.

Always follow ESD-prevention procedures described in Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage,

on page 15 to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or

intermittent equipment failure.

•Obstructions—Physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills can hinder performance of wireless

devices. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is an obstruction between the sending and

receiving antennas.

Method of Procedure

Part of site preparation includes reviewing installation plans or method of procedures (MOPs). An example

of a MOP that includes pre-installation checklist of tasks, considerations to address and agree upon before

proceeding with the installation, is as follows:

•Read this hardware installation guide.

•Assign personnel.

•Determine protection requirements for personnel, equipment, and tools.

•Evaluate potential hazards that may affect service.

•Schedule time for installation.

Step 3 Go to Mounting the Router onto a Pole.

Mounting the Router onto a Pole

The router can be installed where power is available, without the need for a wired LAN connection.

To mount the router onto a vertical pole or lamp-post, you need to install two metal bands around the pole to

support the router. This process requires extra tools and material not provided in the pole mount kit.

Before You Begin

•Two 0.75-in. (1.9 cm) stainless steel bands

•Banding strap tool (BAND IT) (Cisco AIR-BAND-INST-TL=)

•Ground lug (provided with router)

•Crimping tool for ground lug, Panduit (http://onlinecatalog.panduit.com)

•#6 AWG Ground wire

Procedure

Step 1 Select a mounting location on the pole to mount the router. You can attach the router to any pole from 2 to

16 in. (5.1 to 40.6 cm) in diameter.

If you will be using a streetlight power tap adapter, position the router within 3 ft (1 m) of the outdoor

light control.

Problem Solving

To solve a problem, isolate the problem to a specific subsystem by comparing the current router activity to

the expected router activity.

The LEDs on the bottom panel of the router enable you to determine router performance and operation. For

a description of these LEDs, see Reading LEDs , on page 70.

When solving a problem, check the following router subsystems:

Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide

OL-29732-01 67

•Power and cooling systems—External power source, power cable, router power supply, and circuit

breaker. Also check for inadequate ventilation or air circulation.

•Modules—Checking the LEDs on the modules can help you to identify a failure.

•Cables—Ensure that the external cables connecting the router to the network are all secure.

Troubleshooting the Power and Cooling Systems

See the following table for information to help you isolate the problem.

Corrective ActionPossible CauseSymptom

Check for an environmentally

induced shutdown. (See

Environmental Reporting Features,

on page 68).

The cause is environmental.The System LED on the bottom

panel is not on.

Check the light pipe connection.Light pipe is not connected

properly.

•Check the DC or AC input.

•Check the DC or AC source.

The power source is not connected

properly.

The router shuts down after being

on for only a short time.

Check the chassis intake and heat

sink fins for obstructions. Clear any

obstructions.

The chassis intake and heat sink

fins are obstructed.

Check the environmental site

requirements provided in Table 8

in Product Specifications, on page

72.

Installation does not meet

environmental site requirements.

Check the power LED on the front

panel of the router. If the LED is

on, the power supply is functional.

If the LED is off, refer to the Cisco

Information Packet for warranty

information or contact customer

service.

There is a possible power supply

failure.

The router partially boots, but the

LEDs do not come on.

Environmental Reporting Features

The router has a temperature sensor to detect over temperature conditions inside the chassis. The over

temperature detection triggers an alert at 158°F (70°C). This condition is reported to the processor as an

interrupt, where software takes action to generate the appropriate alarms. If the router reaches a temperature

Troubleshooting Cables and Connections

Network problems can be caused by a cable or cable connection, or external device such as a modem,

transceiver, hub, wall jack, WAN interface, or terminal. See the following table for information to help you

isolate the problem.

Corrective ActionPossible CauseSymptom

Check the router chassis or

software. For warranty information,

refer to the Cisco Information

Packet publication that shipped

with your router or contact

customer service.

The router does not boot properly.

The router constantly or

intermittently reboots.

The router is experiencing network

problems.

Verify that the parameters for your

terminal are set as follows:

•The terminal should have the

same data rate as the router

(9600 bps is the default).

•8 data bits.

•No parity generated or

checked.

•2 stop bits.

The router boots, but the console

screen is frozen.

The Cisco ASR 901S Aggregation Services Router ships with a console cable kit, which contains the cable

and adapters to connect a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software).

The console cable kit includes the following items:

•RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable

•RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled TERMINAL)

•RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter (labeled TERMINAL)

To connect a modem, you need to order an auxiliary cable.

Illustration showing the console port to PC connection will be shown here.

For console connections, see Connecting Console Port and Pinouts.

Identifying a Rollover Cable

To identify a rollover cable, compare the modular plugs at the two ends of the cable. When you hold the plugs

side by side, with the tab at the back, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be

the same color as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug (see figure below). If you

purchased your cable from Cisco Systems, pin 1 is white on one connector, and pin 8 is white on the other (a

rollover cable connects pins 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5).
