Connecting Alarm Card Cables
Connecting Alarm Card Cables
The Cisco XR 12406 router has two alarm cards. Each alarm card is equipped with
a standard DB-9 connector, labeled ALARM. This connector can be used to
connect the router to an external site alarm maintenance system so that critical,
major, and minor alarms generated in the router also energize alarm relays on the
alarm card which activate the external site alarm.
Router Technical Specifications and Warnings,”
lists the pin-to-signal
correspondence between the connector pins and the alarm card relay contacts.
Because alarm connector cables are entirely dependent on installation site
circumstances, these cables are not available from Cisco Systems.
Note
Only safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits can be connected to the alarm
connector. Maximum rating for the alarm circuit is 2A, 50VA.
To comply with the intrabuilding lightning surge requirements of
GR-1089-CORE, Issue II, Revision 01, February 1999, use a shielded cable when
connecting to the external alarm port on the alarm card. The cable must consist of
shielded cable terminated by shielded connectors on both ends, with the cable
shield material tied to both connectors.
Connecting to the Console and Auxiliary Ports
This section provides the information for connecting console terminals and other
auxiliary devices to the console and auxiliary ports on the router. Both Data Set
Ready (DSR) and Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signals are active when the system
is running. The console port does not support modem control or hardware flow
control.
The system console port on the PRP is a DCE RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a
data terminal, which you must configure. The console port is labeled Console, as
shown in
