• Monitor mode—The GPS operates in monitor mode when you upgrade the firmware that is stored
in the SD Flash Memory Module.
• Standby mode—When the router AC power supply fails or is not present, and the battery backup
unit is providing power to the router, the GPS operates in standby mode. The GPS receiver is
disabled but the GPS RAM and the real-time clock remain active. In this mode, the GPS RAM stores
the GPS almanac, ephemeris, and last position.
–
When the GPS is in standby mode for less than two hours, it performs a hot start when normal
router power is restored.
–
When the GPS is in standby mode for more than two hours, it performs a warm start when
normal router power is restored.
GPS LED
You can view the GPS LED to determine the GPS state and whether or not it is successfully connected
to a GPS satellite. For information on the GPS LED, see the chapter Router LED Locations and States.
GPS Timing Messages
GPS positioning messages contain a timestamp which can be up to two seconds in the past, so the router
uses data contained in timing messages described Table 2-12 as the source of time for the GPS.
Note The GPS time must calculate in the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) offset, which is used to set the
local time.
Acquiring the Correct Time
Take the following steps to ensure the GPS acquires an accurate time:
Step 1 To eliminate UTC offset, confirm that the almanac is complete and the receiver is generating 3D fixes.
Step 2 Confirm that the GPS receiver is configured for the late PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) option (the receiver
outputs one PPS for a 3D fix).
Step 3 Capture the time from TSIP packet 0x41 or TSIP packet 0x8F-20.
Step 4 On the next PPS, add 1 to the whole second captured in Step 3 to adjust to the correct time.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
–
Working near power supplies
• Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety grounds.
• Do not work alone if hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
• Never open the enclosure of the router’s internal power supply.
• If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
–
Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
–
Turn off power to the device.
–
If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the victim’s condition and
then call for help.
–
Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take
appropriate action.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It can occur if
electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent failures.
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:
• Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to
an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To
guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
• If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.
Caution For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It should
be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).
Safety Warnings
This section contains important safety warnings for the installation and use of the router.
Translated versions of all safety warnings are available in the safety warnings document that shipped

Chapter 3 Installation Safety and Site Preparation
Power Guidelines and Requirements
Poletop Installation Requirements
The installation steps in this manual (Installing the Router) require that the router mounting and
installation locations, usually at the top of a power or other utility pole, have the following connections
available for basic router installation:
• AC power connection
• Fast Ethernet connection, as described in the section Ethernet Connections, page 3-5
Environmental Requirements
The location of your router is an important consideration for proper operation. Equipment placed too
close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and shutdowns,
and can make maintenance difficult. Plan for access to both power supply side and cable side panels of
the router.
If you are currently experiencing shutdowns or an unusually high number of errors with your existing
equipment, these precautions and recommendations may help you isolate the cause of failure and prevent
future problems.
• Always follow ESD-prevention procedures described in the Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Damage, page 3-2 to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause
immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
• Ensure that the chassis door closes securely and that all empty module slots and have filler panels
installed.
• When other equipment is installed on or connected to the router, try operating the router by itself,
if possible. Power off other equipment (such as USB devices and installed third-party modules) to
allow the router under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power.
FCC Safety Compliance Statement
The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 9608, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco antennas,
Cisco products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991.
Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this publication results in user
exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
Power Guidelines and Requirements
• Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving power that is free of spikes and noise.
• Install a power conditioner if necessary.
• Verify the AC power supply includes an autorange feature to autoselect 100 V to 240 V operation.

Preparing for Network Connections
When setting up your router, consider distance limitations and potential electromagnetic interference
(EMI) as defined by the applicable local and international regulations.
Network connection considerations are provided for several types of network interfaces and are
described in the following sections:
• Ethernet Connections, page 3-5
• Serial Connections, page 3-5
Warning
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.
Statement 1021
Ethernet Connections
The IEEE has established Ethernet as standard IEEE 802.3. The router supports the following Ethernet
implementations:
• 1000BASE-X—1000 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable (IEEE 802.3z). Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100
meters).
• 1000BASE-T—1000 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable (IEEE 802.3ab). Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100
meters).
• 100BASE-TX—100 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable (IEEE 802.3u). Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100
meters).
For more information about Ethernet connections and cables, see the following chapters:
• For cable and connector pinouts, see the appendix Connector and Cable Specifications.
• For cabling instructions, see the chapter Installing the Router.
Serial Connections
Serial connections are provided by router serial ports, described in detail in the Router Hardware
Description chapter.
Before you connect a device to a serial port, you need to know the following:
• Type of device, data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE), you are
connecting to the synchronous serial interface
• Signaling standard required by the device
• Serial ports can be configured as DTE or DCE, depending on the serial cable used.

Chapter 3 Installation Safety and Site Preparation
Preparing for Network Connections
Serial DTE or DCE Devices
A device that communicates over a synchronous serial interface is either a DCE or DTE device. A DCE
device provides a clock signal that paces the communications between the device and the router. A DTE
device does not provide a clock signal. DTE devices usually connect to DCE devices. The
documentation that accompanied the device should indicate whether it is a DTE or DCE device. (Some
devices have a jumper to select either DTE or DCE mode.) Table 3-1 lists typical DTE and DCE devices.
Signaling Standards Supported
The synchronous serial ports available for the router support the EIA/TIA-232 (EIA-323) signaling
standard. You can order a Cisco DB-25 shielded serial-transition cable that has the appropriate
connector for the standard you specify. The documentation for the device should indicate the standard
used for that device. The router end of the shielded serial transition cable has a DB-25 connector, which
connects to the DB-25 port on a serial grid router WAN interface card. The other end of the serial
transition cable is available with a connector appropriate for the standard you specify.
The synchronous serial port can be configured as DTE or DCE, depending on the attached cable.
All serial ports configured as DTE require external clocking from a Channel Service Unit/Data Service
Unit (CSU/DSU) or other DCE device.
Exterior 100BASE-T Fast Ethernet Port
The router exterior Ethernet connector is compliant with Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA)
standards. Cables used with this port must also be ODVA-compliant. ODVA compliant cables and
connectors meet IP 67 ratings.
Distance Limitations
Serial signals can travel a limited distance at any given bit rate; generally, the slower the data rate, the
greater the distance. All serial signals are subject to distance limits, beyond which a signal significantly
degrades or is completely lost.
Table 3-2 lists the recommended maximum speeds and distances for each serial interface type; however,
you might get good results at speeds and distances greater than those listed, if you understand the
electrical problems that might arise and can compensate for them. For instance, the recommended
maximum rate for V.35 is 2 Mb/s, but 4 Mb/s is commonly used.

Connecting to AC Power
When connecting the router to AC power, you must ensure that the following conditions are met:
• AC power can be readily and conveniently removed from the router. The power should not be
removed by disconnecting the AC power connector on the unit.
Warning
The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times, because it serves as the main
disconnecting device.
Statement 1019
Caution Before connecting or disconnecting the power cord, you must remove AC power from the power cord
using a suitable service disconnect.
• You must protect AC power plugs and AC receptacles from water and other outdoor elements. You
can use a UL-listed waterproofing enclosure suitable for covering the AC receptacle and AC power
plug that supplies power to the unit, as described in Article 406 of the National Electric Code
(NEC).
• When you install the unit outdoors, or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that powers
the unit should have ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the NEC.
• If the power cord goes through a metal cover, a bushing should be installed to prevent fraying of the
cord. When using a strain relief bushing, you should follow these recommendations:
–
Use properly sized parts
–
Use bushings that are safety certified
–
Use parts that are suitable for outdoor installation
• Ensure that the user-supplied AC power plug is certified for outdoor use and has a minimum IP67
rating, such as Interpower 84131251 or Hubbell HBL316P6W (IEC/EN60309 pin-and-sleeve type
connectors).
AC Power Cable
The router supports the Cisco AC power cable that is shipped with the unit. One end of the cable has the
router AC power connector; the other end is unfinished and you must provide and attach an AC power
plug. The AC power plug you use depends on the power source, such as a junction box, to which you
