 | 
 | 
 | |
| Port Name | Connector Type | Description | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| TOD Port | RJ45 | 
 | Time of Day Input/Output Port along with 1PPS | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | Signal. Signal type is RS422. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Service LAN Port (IEEE | RJ45 | 
 | A 10/100Mbps Ethernet Port for IEEE1588 Grand | 
| 1588) | 
 | 
 | Master Connection through CAT5 cable. Signal type is | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | MLT3. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 10MHz Connector | SMB | 
 | 10MHz Input for GPS Synchronization. This signal | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | can provide 10MHz output as well from Cisco ASR | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 9001 Router. Signal type is sinusoidal. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 1PPS Connector | SMB | 
 | 1PPS Input for GPS Synchronization. This signal can | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | provide output as well from Cisco ASR 9001 Router. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | Signal type is square wave. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| SYNC Ports (SYNC | RJ45 | 
 | Used as BITS or DTI (one at a time) Input/Output Port | 
| 0/SYNC 1) | 
 | 
 | based on the configuration used. CAT5 ethernet cable | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | can be used for DTI. In DTI mode link resembles an | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | Ethernet (802.3) 10BaseT link. Signal type depends | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | on the mode such as B8ZS for T1, HDB3 for E1, | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | Manchester Coded Data for DTI, Sinusoidal for | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 6.3128 Out. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| CONSOLE Port | RJ45 | 
 | Local Craft Terminal for connecting the box with PC. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | Used to command the CPU and to collect CPU log. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | This console port operates at default 115200 baud rate | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | however other standard baud rates can be configured | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | through confreg setting at Rommon. Signal type is | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | RS232. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| AUX Port | RJ45 | 
 | Local Craft Terminal with modem handshaking | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | signals. This port operates at default 115200 baud rate | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | however other standard baud rates can be configured | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | through confreg setting at Rommon. The hardware has | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | design option (through IMIO FPGA) to connect the | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | AUX port with RP CPU or LC CPU. This can be used | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | as console port for the LC CPU. Signal type is RS232. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Management LAN Ports | RJ45 | 
 | Management Port for TFTP boot. It is a tri speed | 
| (MGT LAN 0/1) | 
 | 
 | (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet port with auto | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | negotiation enabled. Connection through CAT5E | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | cable. Signal type is 8B/10B for 1G, MLT3 for 100 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | Mbps, Manchester coded for 10 Mbps. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | |
| USB Port | USB  | For connecting USB Device. This port can be used to | |
| 
 | Receptacle | upload installable modules, temporary binaries, | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | scripts etc through USB disk. Also, it can be used to | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | transfer router log from the internal eUSB to the | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | external memory stick. Signal type is NRZI. |
