3.7.2. Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations
The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet communications
over distances of up to 100 meters using 4 pairs of CAT-5 (or higher) balanced, unshielded
twisted-pair cabling. For wiring guidelines, system designers and integrators should refer to
the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standard for minimum
cabling performance specifications required for proper Gigabit Ethernet operation. To ensure
reliable, error-free data communications, new and pre-existing communication paths should
be verified for TIA/EIA-568-A compliance. The table: Cabling Categories and 1000Base-
TX Compliance summarizes the relevant cabling standards as they apply to 100Base-TX
connections.

Table 3.4. Cabling Categories and 1000Base-TX Compliance
Follow these recommendations for copper data cabling in high electrical noise environments:
• Data cable lengths should be as short as possible, ideally limited to 10' (3m) in length. Copper
data cables should not be used for inter-building communications.
• Power and data cables should not be run in parallel for long distances, and should be installed
in separate conduits. Power and data cables should intersect at 90° angles when necessary
to reduce inductive coupling.
• Optionally, shielded/screened cabling can be used. The cable shield should be grounded at one
single point to avoid the generation of ground loops.
3.7.3. Transient Suppression
All copper Ethernet ports on RuggedCom products include transient suppression circuitry to
protect against damage from electrical transients and to ensure conformance to IEC 61850-3
and IEEE 1613 Class 1. This means that during a transient electrical event, it is possible for
communications errors or interruptions to occur, but recovery is automatic.
RuggedCom does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical,
real-time, substation automation applications.
RuggedCom also recommends against the use of copper Ethernet connections to interface to
devices in the field across distances which could produce high levels of ground potential rise (that
is, greater than 2500V), during line-to-ground fault conditions.

3.11. SFP Optics – Installation, removal, and precautions
The RX1512 can be ordered with SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) pluggable optics modules.
SFP modules can be safely inserted and removed while the chassis is powered and operating.
When inserting or removing optics, observe the following precautions:
• Ensure that dust caps are mounted on SFP cages at all times, unless you are in the process
of inserting or removing an SFP module. The dust caps prevent the accumulation of residue or
particles that might inhibit proper operation.
• Ensure that you have properly discharged any possible electrostatic build-up to prevent
electrostatic discharges (ESD). This can be accomplished by proper grounding through an ESD
wrist strap, or by touching earth or chassis ground before installing or removing optical modules.
ESD can damage or shorten the life of optical modules when they are not plugged into a chassis.
• Ensure that SFP optical modules are always stored in an ESD-safe bag or other suitable
ESD-safe environment. Keep SFP modules free from moisture and store them at the proper
temperature (-40°C to +85°C).
• Disconnect all cables from the SFP module before inserting or removing the module.
• Use only components certified by RuggedCom Inc. with RuggedCom products. Damage can
occur to optics and product if compatibility and reliability have not been properly assessed.

3.11.1. Module Insertion – SFP
Special attention must be paid to the orientation of SFP modules upon installation in the RX1512
chassis. The figure below shows the proper orientation of SFP modules installed in both upper and
lower line modules. SFP modules on the upper row must be inserted top-side up. SFP modules
on the lower row must be inserted top-side down. SFP modules should be inserted with the bail-
latch in the locked position.
Figure 3.18. SFP module orientation
Figure 3.19. SFP module insertion
SFP modules should slide gently into their ports and should lock in place when fully inserted.
Dust covers should be in place when installing the modules, and should always be in place when
cables are not connected.
3.11.2. SFP Module Removal
To remove the SFP module, disconnect any cables and replace the dust cover to protect the

3.14.3. Secondary Network Interface
In addition to the gigabit Ethernet interface on the faceplate, the APE features a gigabit Ethernet
interface connecting to a port on the RX1512 chassis. The interface can be used by the operating
system running on the APE as a normal network interface. The port can be configured from ROX™.
Typical port parameters, such as speed, duplex, vlans, and more, can be configured. From the
perspective of the RX1512, the port is just switch port where a device is connected.
Figure 3.30, “APE Chassis Network Connection” shows how the APE and the RX1512 are
connected. The APE module can have connectivity to devices or networks connected to regular
ports on the RX1500.
Figure 3.30. APE Chassis Network Connection
3.14.3.1. Placing the APE in a VLAN
The port connecting the APE to the RX1512 is a normal switch port. The port PVID can be changed
through ROX™ as can be done with any other switch port. For example, if the APE is Line Module
2 (LM2), then setting the lm2/1 pvid parameter to 10 places the APE secondary network interface
connection on VLAN 10.

3.14.4. Installing an Operating System
We recommend that the operating system be installed and configured by users with
experience in installing and administering the chosen operating system.
To install an operating system on the APE, you need the following items:
• DVI-D monitor.
• Keyboard with USB connector.
• Bootable USB flash drive or USB external CD/DVD drive with your operating system installation
package.
When using an external drive that is powered through the USB port, ensure that the
total power consumption through both USB ports does not exceed 250 mA at 5V.
To connect additional USB devices, such as a mouse, you can attach a USB hub to
the APE. Again, ensure that the total power consumption through both USB ports does
not exceed 250 mA at 5V.
Procedure 3.1. To install an operating system:
1. Ensure that the APE module is inserted properly into the line module slot and that the RX1512
is powered up. The APE module power LED should be ON and orange.
2. Connect your monitor to the DVI-D connector, connect your keyboard to a USB port, and
connect your bootable USB device to a USB port.
If your operating system installation package requires a network connection, connect a
network cable to the Ethernet port. Connect the other end of the cable to a functioning network
port.
3. With a pin or small screwdriver, press and release the APE reset button.
4. After the APE boots, press the F2 key. The BIOS screen appears.
5. Navigate to the Boot menu. Move the USB device to the first boot priority.
Your bootable USB device must be connected to the APE for you to be able to
set the device’s boot priority.
6. Navigate to the Exit menu and select Exit Saving Changes. The APE restarts and boots
from the connected USB device.
7. Follow the prompts and instructions from your operating system installation package. Detailed
installation instructions are beyond the scope of this guide. For detailed instructions on
installing your operating system, refer to the operating system documentation.
8. After installing the operating system, you may need to change the boot priority back to the
APE’s internal drive. Reboot the APE and press F2 as the module reboots. Navigate to the
Boot menu and move the internal drive to the first boot priority. Navigate to the Exit menu
and select Exit Saving Changes. The APE restarts and boots from the internal drive.
It is also possible to run a live operating system from the USB device itself. However,
this may result in slower overall performance of the operating system.

3.14.5. The APE BIOS
The APE module features a BIOS with functionality similar to that of a typical PC. You can
configure the following BIOS settings:
• System Time
• Processor Options
• Boot Options
• Security Options
For most purposes, these options are used sparingly unless there is a specific hardware or
software requirement that requires a change. The most commonly changed options are the boot
options, as the USB ports need to be made bootable to install an operating system.
To display the BIOS menus, press F2 while powering on the APE. To display BIOS help, press
F1 and follow the instructions at the bottom of the screen.
3.14.6. Resetting the Module
Whenever possible, shut down and reboot the APE from the operating system instead of
performing a hard reset with the reset button. This helps to ensure graceful shutdowns and data
integrity. If absolutely required, you can perform a hard reset with the reset button on the APE
faceplate.
The reset button is recessed from the front surface of the faceplate. Use a pin or small screwdriver
to reach the button.

3.14.8. FAQs
Q: How do I use a CD or DVD to install an operating system on the APE module?
A: Connect an external CD/DVD drive to one of the APE USB ports. If the external drive is
powered through the USB port, ensure that it does not exceed the USB port power limitations
(250 mA at 5 V), or use a drive that has an external power supply.
Q: How do I install Windows from a USB flash drive?
A: There are many articles on the Internet explaining how to do this. We recommended
selecting a method that uses the least amount of third-party software to create the bootable
USB drive.
Q: Can I shutdown or power-up the APE module from ROX™?
A: Not currently. In ROX™ version 2.2, the APE is isolated from ROX™ control. ROX™
can identify the type of module present in the RX1512 line module slot, and can monitor
temperature information for the APE module.
Q: Can I connect to the operating system running on the APE from one of the ports on the
other slots?
A: Yes. In ROX™, assign lm{APE_slot}/1, where {APE_slot} is the line module slot where
the APE is installed, to the VLAN on which connectivity is expected. The APE should be
reachable from any device belonging to the same VLAN.
If you want the APE be routable, log in to the operating system on the APE and set the
secondary interface gateway to the IP address of the ROX™ VLAN.
Q: Can I use the APE module as a DHCP server or a DNS server?
A: Yes. The APE module supports any x86-compatible operating system and the services
offered by the system.
