Chapter 1 Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Overview
Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Modules
Connector Ports
The faceplate on the PRE contains three ports with RJ-45 connectors:
•
Console port—This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port is used to connect a terminal to the PRE
for local administrative access.
•
Auxiliary port (AUX)—This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port is used to connect a modem to
the PRE for remote administrative access.
•
Fast Ethernet port—This Fast Ethernet port is used to connect the PRE to a 10/100Base-T network
management LAN.
Note
The Fast Ethernet interface on the PRE module is intended for network management access
and should not be used for WAN connectivity purposes. For WAN connections, use the
appropriate network uplink cards, which take full advantage of the system's
high-performance PXF processing subsystem.
PC Media Card Slots
Two PC media card slots (one CompactFlash Disk slot for the PRE4) can store the Cisco IOS image or
a system configuration file on a PC media card or CompactFlash Disk. The system can also boot from
the software stored on the PC media card or CompactFlash Disk. The PC media card slots support Type
I or Type II cards. See the
“Removing and Installing a PC Media Card” section on page 16
for more
information about inserting and removing PC media cards from the PRE.
LCD Screens
The two LCD screens below the PC media card slots display alphanumeric information about the status
of the of the PRE module.
PRE LED Indicators and Buttons
LEDs on the faceplate of the PRE provide a visual indication of the status of PRE operation (see
Figure 1-10
). The LEDs are separated into three categories: alarms, status, and failure.
•
ALARM—Alarm relay contacts on the Cisco uBR10012 router connect the router to a site alarm
maintenance system. This allows critical, major, and minor alarms generated by the
Cisco uBR10012 router to be displayed on the PRE faceplate and also translated to external visual
or audible alarms connected to the system. See the
“Connecting Alarm Indicators” section on
page 3-36
