Chapter 4 Connecting the Cisco RPS
Connecting Routers and the Cisco MC3810 Concentrator
Connecting Routers and the Cisco MC3810
Concentrator
This section provides illustrations and cabling information for connecting the
Cisco RPS to Cisco 2500 series and Cisco 2600 series routers; Cisco 3620, Cisco
3640, and Cisco 3725 routers; Cisco 4000 series routers and Cisco MC3810
multiservice concentrators. All these devices use:
•
One-to-one cable for quasi-redundancy
or
•
Two-to-one Y-cable for full redundancy
Note
If you did not order your router or concentrator with a Cisco RPS connector
installed, you must order a power adapter plate and must install it in place of your
existing power supply.
If you need to order a power adapter plate, see
Table 3-1 on page 3-5
, which lists
adapter plates and corresponding product order numbers. Contact Cisco Customer
Service at 800 553-6387 or 408 526-7209 for ordering information. (See also the
“Obtaining Documentation” section on page xviii
.)
Device-specific instructions for installing the Cisco RPS adapter plate are shipped
with the plate and are also available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com.
Note
Cisco IOS Software Release 11.2(7)P or later release is required when using the
Cisco RPS with Cisco 3620, Cisco 3640, or Cisco 3725 routers.
To connect a router or multiservice concentrator to the Cisco RPS, perform the
following steps:
Step 1
Power off the router or concentrator by pressing the power switch to the OFF (O)
position.
Step 2
Connect one end of the one-to-one cable or Y-cable to the Cisco RPS connector
on the rear panel of the router or concentrator, as shown in
Figure 4-16
through
Figure 4-21
