Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco AS5350

Supplying Power

Supplying Power

The power system comprises an AC or DC power supply or a redundant AC or DC power supply, with internal cooling provided by two self-contained fans.

Note The redundant power supply is supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB5 or later releases.

Each power module is capable of supplying a maximum DC load of 150 watts, and is composed of four independent output voltages: 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and -12V. AC input units have power factor correction, and low Total Harmonic Distortion. Power failures are reported through environmental monitoring software.

Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving “clean” power (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner if necessary.

The universal gateway AC power supply includes the following features:

Full range operation—100 to 240 VAC.

All AC units include a 6-foot (1.8-meter) electrical power cord (A label near the power inlets indicates the correct voltage, frequency, current draw, and power dissipation for the unit.)

Note The redundant AC power supply has a non-standard connector. Use the electrical power cord that came with your universal gateway.

The universal gateway DC power supply includes the following features:

150 W output

Dual input connections for power source redundancy

Removable DC connector (A label near the power inlets indicates the correct voltage, current draw, and power dissipation for the unit.)

Double-hole grounding lug for reliable grounding to the chassis

 

 

 

 

Follow this procedure to connect power to the universal gateway:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1

Connect one end of the AC power cord to the power connector on the rear panel of the Cisco AS5350 (See

 

 

 

 

Figure 3-17or Figure 3-18.)Or, if you are using a DC-powered unit, refer to Figure 3-19or Figure 3-20,

 

 

 

 

and complete Step a through Step e.

 

 

Step 2

Connect the other end of the AC power cord to the power outlet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Warning

This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that

 

 

 

 

a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the

 

 

 

 

phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors). To see translations of the warnings that appear

 

 

 

 

in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that

 

 

 

 

accompanied this device.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Warning

The device is designed to work with TN power systems. To see translations of the warnings that appear in

 

 

 

 

the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this

 

 

 

 

device.

AS5350 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.
