The following sections describe how to connect timing cables to the Cisco ASR 902 Router:
Connecting a Cable to the BITS Interface
The following steps describe how to connect a cable to the router
’
s BITS port:
Step 1
Confirm that the router is powered off.
Step 2
Connect one end of the cable to the BITS port using a straight-through, shielded RJ48C-to-RJ48C cable.
Step 3
Connect the other end to the BTS patch or demarcation panel at your site.
Step 4
Turn on the power to the router.
For information about the BITS port pinouts, see
Use of two BITS sources or a Y-cable is optional. Each BITS input port is routed to both the RSPs, so that the
SETS device on each RSP has visibility to both the BITS inputs.
Note
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect
the BITS ports only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded
and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly
must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are
designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE)
and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient
protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring. Statement
Warning
Connecting Cables to a GPS Interface
When installing the cables to the RSP, we recommend that you leave a service loop of extra cable to enable
fan tray removal.
Note
The following sections describe how to connect cables from the Cisco ASR 902 Router to a GPS unit for
input or output timing of frequency:
Connecting a Cable to the Input 10-MHz or 1-PPS Interface
Step 1
Connect one end of a mini-coax cable to the GPS unit.
Step 2
Connect the other end of the mini-coax cable to the 10-MHz or 1-PPS port on the RSP of the Cisco ASR 902 Router.
