Install an External Non-Cisco Module
Internal Cabling
Depending on the module dimensions and the location of the module cables, you may be able to install
the module directly over the cable ports and thread the module cables through the cable ports.
With this configuration:
•
Cables are not exposed externally.
•
Install an O-ring in each cable port to create an environment-proof seal.
•
Follow the cabling instructions in this section.
Cisco O-Ring
When you install the module in a configuration that uses internal cabling from the module, through the
cable ports on the router door, insert a rubber O-ring into each port to create an environmental-proof seal.
Caution
The O-ring must be used to prevent exposing the router interior to environmental elements.
Connect to the Network
Step 1
Verify that the module Ethernet cable is threaded through the router cable port, and that the cable port
has cable glands or an O-ring installed.
Step 2
Connect the module Ethernet cable to any of the Ethernet ports on the router interior. See location 1 in
Figure 13-3
for router Ethernet port locations.
For detailed information about making router Ethernet connections, see the
“Connect to the Ethernet
Backhaul Network” section on page 6-3
, in the
“Installing the Router”
chapter.
Step 3
After connecting the module network cable to the Ethernet port, use the wire ties on the router door (see
location 1 in
Figure 13-4
) to fix the cable to the door.
