Connect Power

The access server is available with either an AC or DC power supply. You can also order a power supply as a spare if you decide later that you need a different type of power supply or the power supply fails.

Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is off and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected.

Connecting the AC Power Cord

Take these steps:

Step 1 Connect one end of the power cord to the power connector on the rear panel of the access server. Step 2 Connect the other end of the power cord to the power outlet.

Warning The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main disconnecting device.

Wiring the DC Power Supply

If you ordered the access server with a DC power supply, follow the procedure in this section to wire the terminal block.

Warning A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.

Note This product is intended for installation in restricted access areas and is approved for connection using 12 or 14 AWG copper conductors only. The installation must comply with all applicable codes.

Refer to the figure and follow these steps to wire the terminal block:

Step 1 Note the orientation of the DC power supply. The power supply cord should have three wires: +48 VDC, -48 VDC, and a safety ground (green wire).

Note For central office installations, it is recommended to use a 6 AWG green ground wire with one end connected to reliable earth. The other end of the wire should be crimped onto the double-hole lug provided in the installation pack. The lug should be secured to the mating holes on either side of the chassis with the two screws included in the accessory pack.

AS5300 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in the networking and telecommunications field, and its AS5800 series of routers exemplify this tradition. The AS5800, along with the AS5850, AS5350, AS5400, and AS5300, provides robust solutions for service providers and enterprise-level networking applications. Each of these models has distinct features and characteristics that cater to the evolving demands of internet traffic and data processing.

The Cisco AS5800 is designed for high-capacity routing and optimized for broadband services. It supports a wide range of services, including voice, data, and video applications, making it a versatile option for service providers looking to deliver integrated solutions. It is equipped with advanced quality of service (QoS) features that ensure bandwidth is allocated effectively, holding strong even under heavy traffic conditions.

In comparison, the AS5850 offers superior processing capabilities and is typically utilized in larger-scale implementations. This model supports high-density interfaces, allowing numerous connections without compromising performance. Its architecture includes enhanced MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support, enabling more efficient traffic management and better utilization of network resources.

The AS5350 is known for its scalability and energy efficiency, ideal for voice-over-IP (VoIP) and media gateway applications. It supports various telephony features, such as protocol interworking and transcoding, making it a preferred choice for organizations focusing on digital voice technologies. The AS5300, while slightly older, continues to be a valuable asset for less demanding networks, offering reliable performance with VoIP capabilities and basic data applications.

The AS5400 bridges the gap between high-performance routing and operational efficiency. It incorporates Cisco's proprietary technologies to ensure seamless connectivity and robust failover systems. This model is highly regarded for its security features, protecting network integrity and providing peace of mind for businesses relying on sensitive data transfer.

Overall, Cisco’s AS5800 series showcases a progressive evolution of routing capabilities with enhanced features tailored for resilience, scalability, and performance. These routers not only address the technical needs of modern networks but also strategically position organizations for future growth in an increasingly digital world. Each model, with its unique attributes, continues to support the varied demands of global communication infrastructures.
