definitions.  
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You  
and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.  
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your  
business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco  
will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.  
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations  
remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service  
to satisfactory levels.  
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or  
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

Product Description  
The Cisco uBR7100 series universal broadband router is a cable modem termination system (CMTS)  
that provides Internet, local area network (LAN), and wide area network (WAN) access for cable  
modems and set-top boxes (STBs) over a coaxial cable connection. The router enables high-speed data  
services to be packaged similar to basic cable television service or video programming.  
The Cisco uBR7100 series routers support two-way data and digitized voice connectivity over a  
bidirectional cable television and IP backbone network, using one of the following two standards:  
The Cisco uBR7111 and Cisco uBR7114 support the Data-over-Cable Service Interface  
Specifications (DOCSIS)—DOCSIS 1.0 and DOCSIS 1.1. DOCSIS supports the 6 MHz North  
American channel plans using the ITU J.83 Annex B RF standard. The downstream uses a 6 MHz  
channel width in the 85 to 860 MHz frequency range, and the upstream supports the 5 to 42 MHz  
frequency range.  
The Cisco uBR7111E and Cisco uBR7114E support the European Data-over-Cable Service  
Interface Specifications (EuroDOCSIS)—EuroDOCSIS 1.0 and EuroDOCSIS 1.1. EuroDOCSIS  
supports the 8 MHz Phase Alternating Line (PAL) and Systeme Electronique Couleur Avec  
Memoire (SECAM) channel plans using the ITU J.112 Annex A RF standard. The downstream uses  
an 8 MHz channel width in the 85 to 860 MHz frequency range, and the upstream supports multiple

site from which you can review, reconfigure, and monitor essential device data from a simple  
GUI (that displays information such as dynamic status reports, performance statistics, and  
network inquiries) without having to physically check connections for each device, module, or  
port at every different or remote location.  
Cisco uBR7100 Series Routers Physical Description  
Each model includes the following physical features:  
Cable interface—One downstream and either one or four upstreams, depending on the model of the  
router. The cable interface supports the DOCSIS 6 MHz, North American channel plan or the  
EuroDOCSIS 8 MHz PAL and SECAM channel plan, depending on the router model.  
Integrated upconverter—The downstream channel can be output using the router’s integrated  
upconverter, producing an RF signal suitable for transmission over the coaxial cable network, saving  
both the money and rack space required by an external upconverter. However, for existing cable  
plants, the downstream can also be output to an external upconverter.  
Fixed LAN interface with two ports—10BASE-T/100BASE-TX autosensing Ethernet/Fast Ethernet  
(full and half duplex) equipped with an RJ-45 receptacle.  
Modular port adapter slot—Supports a single-width port adapter, including the  
Ethernet/FastEthernet, Serial, high-speed serial interface (HSSI), and ATM interfaces.  
One console port—Equipped with an RJ-45 receptacle.  
One auxiliary port—Equipped with an RJ-45 receptacle.  
Two PCMCIA card slots—Flash disk or flash memory cards contain the default Cisco IOS software  
image and can act as backup devices for CMTS and cable modem configuration files.  
LEDs—LEDs for system ready, power, PCMCIA card slots, for the fixed LAN and cable ports, and  
for the modular port adapter interfaces.  
Up to 256 MB of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) system memory with  
64 MB of fixed SDRAM packet memory—Three dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) on the  
network processor board.  
2 rack-unit (2RU) chassis (front or rear rack-mountable)  
Single AC power supply, with the option of different power cords, depending on the country of

Cisco uBR7100 Series Routers Physical Description  
Figure 1-3 shows the front panel for all models of the Cisco uBR7100 series routers.  
Figure 1-3 Cisco uBR7100 Series Front Panel  
Cisco uBR7100  
SERIES  
All Cisco uBR7100 series routers have one power supply with one AC-input power receptacle. A power  
cable connects the AC-input power supply to the site AC power source. The router’s main power switch  
is located next to the AC-input power receptacle. Separate power cords are available, depending on the  
country of operation.  
On the side of each chassis are two chassis ground receptacles—choose the most convenient set for a  
chassis ground connection for a two-hole grounding lug, and the other set can provide a mounting  
location for the cable management bracket. On the back of the chassis, there is a receptacle for  
electrostatic discharge (ESD) equipment.  
Four internal fans draw cooling air into the chassis (back to front) and across internal components to  
maintain an acceptable operating temperature. There are four environmental sensors for monitoring the  
cooling air as it leaves the chassis. For more information on environmental monitoring, see the  
Caution  
To ensure the proper flow of cooling air across the internal components, a port adapter must be installed  
in the port adapter slot. If no port adapter is installed, install a blank port adapter (the product number  
is MAS-7100-PABLANK=). Slot 5 has a blank face plate. For proper airflow, make sure that a blank  
faceplate is always installed in slot 5. (The product number is SM-BLANK=).  
The modular port adapter slides into the chassis slot and connects directly to the router; there are no  
internal cables to connect.  
The port adapter, fixed cable interface, and fixed LAN interface connect to two peripheral component  
interconnect (PCI) buses on the router’s backplane that provide a path to packet I/O memory and the  
system processor. For more information, see the “Peripheral Component Interconnect Buses” section on  
Cisco uBR7100 series routers can be installed on a tabletop or in an equipment rack. Rubber feet for  
tabletop installation are included in the accessory kit that shipped with your router.  
A rack-mount and cable-management kit is also standard equipment included with all Cisco uBR7100  
series routers when they are shipped from the factory. The kit provides the hardware needed to mount  
the router in a standard 19-inch, four-post or telco-type equipment rack. The rack-mount kit also  
provides the hardware necessary to manage the interface cables attached to the router.  
Note  
Hardware to install the Cisco uBR7100 series in a 23-inch or 24-inch rack can also be ordered separately  
(the order number is ACS-7100-RMK=).

Chapter 1 Product Overview  
Fixed Interface Units  
Instructions for installing the router on a tabletop, installing the router in an equipment rack, and  
attaching the cable-management bracket are given in Chapter 3, “Installing Cisco uBR7100 Series  
Fixed Interface Units  
The Cisco uBR7100 series universal broadband router contains the following fixed interfaces:  
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet LAN Interface  
The Cisco uBR7100 series contains a fixed LAN Ethernet/Fast Ethernet autosensing interface with two  
separately routable 100BASE-TX ports. Both ports support full-duplex and half-duplex operation, and  
automatically determine whether the attached network is a 10-Mbps 10BASE-T Ethernet or a 100-Mbps,  
100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet network. Each port uses an RJ-45 connector with Category 5 unshielded  
twisted-pair (UTP) wiring.  
RF Cable Interface  
The Cisco uBR7100 series router includes a fixed cable interface card that provides one downstream port  
and from one to four upstream ports, depending on the model.  
On the Cisco uBR7111 and Cisco uBR7114 routers, the cable interface supports the North American  
DOCSIS channel plan, with a 6 MHz National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) channel width,  
with a 5 to 42 MHz upstream frequency range. The downstream supports the 54 to 858 MHz frequency  
range with 64 QAM and 256 QAM data rates, while the upstream supports QPSK and 16 QAM data  
rates.  
On the Cisco uBR7111E and Cisco uBR7114E routers, the cable interface supports the EuroDOCSIS  
channel plan, with an 8 MHz pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and SECAM channel width, with a  
5 to 65 MHz upstream frequency range. The downstream supports the 54 to 858 MHz frequency range  
with 64 QAM and 256 QAM data rates, while the upstream supports QPSK and 16 QAM data rates.  
Two downstream connectors are provided:  
DS0 RF—Outputs the downstream after it has been processed by the router’s integrated upconverter,  
thereby creating an RF signal suitable for connection to a combiner and transmission on the coaxial  
cable network.  
DS0—Outputs the downstream as an IF signal, requiring an external upconverter to process the  
signal for output on the coaxial cable network.  
Note  
On the Cisco uBR7111E and Cisco uBR7114E routers, the DS0 connector is automatically muted when  
the DS0 RF port is enabled.

Functional Overview  
The following sections provide a functional overview of Cisco uBR7100 series routers to help you  
become familiar with the capabilities of the router:  
Chassis Slot and Logical Interface Numbering  
In Cisco uBR7100 series routers, the slot number is the location in the chassis where the interface resides  
and the port number is the physical port associated with that slot. Cisco uBR7100 series router slots are  
numbered 0 through 5. Interfaces in the Cisco IOS software are identified by a type, slot number, and  
port number. The number of physical ports depends on the type of modular port adapter or fixed  
interface. For example, Fast Ethernet 0/1 indicates port 1 on the fixed LAN interface in slot 0.  
Slots in the Cisco uBR7100 series are numbered as follows:  
Slot 0—Fixed LAN (Fast Ethernet) interface  
Slot 1—Fixed RF interface  
Slot 3—Modular port adapter  
Note  
Slots 2, 4, and 5 are not used on the Cisco uBR7100 series router.  
Figure 1-5 illustrates the slot placement on Cisco uBR7114 and Cisco uBR7114E routers. The  
placement on the Cisco uBR7111 and Cisco uBR7111E routers is identical.

Indentifing Interface Information in the Software  
You can identify interfaces by using software commands. To display information about all interfaces,  
use the show interfaces command. To display information about a specific interface, use the show  
interfaces command with the interface type, slot number, and port number in the format show interfaces  
type slot/port.  
The following example shows how the show interfaces command, used without arguments, displays  
status information (including the slot and port number) for each interface in a Cisco uBR7100 series  
router. In the following example, most of the status information for each interface is omitted:

MAC Addresses  
The Media Access Control (MAC) or hardware address is a standardized data-link layer address that is  
required for certain network interface types. These addresses are not used by other devices in the  
network; they are specific and unique to each port. The router uses a specific method to assign and  
control the MAC addresses of its port adapter.  
All LAN interfaces (ports) require unique MAC addresses. Typically, the MAC address of an interface  
is stored on a memory component that resides directly on the interface circuitry; however, the online  
insertion and removal (OIR) feature requires a different method. For a description of OIR, see the  
The OIR feature allows you to remove a port adapter and replace it with another identically configured  
one. If the new port adapter matches the port adapter you removed, the system immediately brings it  
online.

Chapter 1 Product Overview  
Functional Overview  
To allow OIR, an address allocator with unique MAC addresses is stored in an EEPROM on the router.  
Each address is reserved for a specific port and slot in the router regardless of whether a port adapter  
resides in that slot.  
The MAC addresses for port adapters are assigned to slot 3 in Cisco uBR7100 series routers, not to a  
particular port adapter. Assigning MAC addresses to the slot and not to the port adapter allows you to  
remove a port adapter and insert the port adapter into other routers without causing the MAC addresses  
to move around the network or to be assigned to multiple devices.  
Note  
Storing the MAC addresses for every slot in one central location means the addresses stay with the  
memory device on which they are stored.  
Online Insertion and Removal  
The modular port adapter installed in Cisco uBR7100 series routers supports OIR. This function allows  
you to install and replace a port adapter while the router is operating; you do not need to notify the  
software or shut down the system power. This provides a method that is seamless to end users on the  
network, maintains all routing information, and preserves sessions.  
The following is a functional description of OIR for background information only; for specific  
procedures for installing and replacing a port adapter in a Cisco uBR7100 series router, see the  
configuration note that ships with each port adapter.  
Each port adapter has a bus connector that connects it to the router. Each connector has a set of tiered  
pins in three lengths that send specific signals to the system as they make contact with the port adapter.  
The system assesses the signals it receives and the order in which it receives them to determine if a port  
adapter is being removed or inserted into the router. From these signals, the system determines whether  
to reinitialize a new interface or shut down a removed interface. For example, when you insert a port  
adapter, the longest pins make contact with the port adapter first, and the shortest pins make contact last.  
The system recognizes the signals and the sequence in which it receives them.  
When you remove or insert a port adapter in a Cisco uBR7100 series router, the port adapter pins send  
signals to notify the system, which then performs as follows:  
1. Rapidly scans the system for configuration changes.  
2. Initializes all newly inserted port adapters, noting any removed interfaces and placing them in the  
administratively shutdown state.  
3. Brings all previously configured interfaces on the port adapter back to the state they were in when  
they were removed. Any newly inserted interfaces are put in the administratively shutdown state, as  
if they were present (but not configured) at boot time. If a similar port adapter type is reinserted into  
a slot, its ports are configured and brought online up to the port count of the original port adapter.  
Peripheral Component Interconnect Buses  
All interfaces connect to two Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) buses on the router that provide  
a path to packet I/O memory and the network processor. Slots 1 and 3 use PCI bus 0, and slot 0 uses  
PCI bus 1. The maximum recommended bandwidth points on each PCI bus is 600 points.  
Note  
Slots 2, 4, and 5 are not used in the Cisco uBR7100 series routers.

Functional Overview  
Network Processor Card  
The network processor card resides inside the chassis and is shown in Figure 1-6 on page 1-16. The  
network processor card provides the following features:  
Senses OIR of the port adapter  
Bridges the PCI buses from the interfaces to packet memory  
Arbitrates traffic across the PCI buses  
Generates the clock signals for the interfaces on each PCI bus  
The network processor card also performs the following system management functions:  
Sending and receiving routing protocol updates  
Managing tables, caches, and buffers  
Monitoring interface and environmental status  
Providing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management and the console or Telnet  
interface  
Accounting and switching of data traffic  
Booting and reloading images  
Managing port adapters (recognition and initialization during OIR)  
Note  
For instructions for removing and replacing memory components on the network processor card, such  
as the SDRAM DIMMs, refer to Memory Replacement Instructions for the Network Processing Engine  
or Network Services Engine and Input/Output Controller at the following URL:  
The network processor card consists of the following components:  
Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) microprocessor running at 175 MHz  
Two system controllers—Provide processor access to two separate banks of SDRAM and permit  
devices on both PCI buses to access either SDRAM bank. This means that devices on different PCI  
buses can access different SDRAM banks simultaneously.  
Upgradable memory modules—SDRAM system memory defaults to 128 MB and can be upgraded  
to either 192 MB or 256 MB. (SDRAM packet memory is fixed at 64 MB.) SDRAM memory stores  
packets received or sent from network interfaces, routing tables, and network accounting  
applications. The two independent SDRAM memory arrays allow concurrent access by interfaces  
and the processor. For information about accessing the SDRAM memory modules, refer to the  
Note  
The network processor card contains two SDRAM slots for user-configurable system memory, DIMM 1  
and DIMM 2. The amount of memory installed in slot DIMM 1 must be greater than or equal to the  
memory installed in slot DIMM 2. Slot DIMM 2 is zero for the default memory configuration of  
128 MB. Slot DIMM 0 is used only for packet memory and is fixed at 64 MB in the factory.  
Cache memory—Cisco uBR7100 series routers have two levels of cache: a primary cache that is  
internal to the microprocessor and a secondary, 2-MB (fixed) external cache that provides additional  
high-speed storage for data and instructions.

Safety Guidelines  
Electrostatic Discharge Prevention  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs  
when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.  
Figure 2-1 illustrates how to attach an electrostatic discharge wrist strap.  
Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when you remove and replace components. Ensure that the  
chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it  
makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to  
safely ground unwanted ESD voltages. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and  
cord must operate properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of  
the chassis.  
Caution  
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and  
10 megohms (Mohm).

Chassis Lifting Guidelines  
A fully configured Cisco uBR7100 series router weighs approximately 32 pounds (14.5 kg). The chassis  
is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the router, ensure that your site is properly  
prepared so you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network  
connections.  
Whenever you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines:  
Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.  
Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the object between your feet.  
Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.  
Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you must bend down to lift the  
chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to reduce the strain on your lower back muscles.  
Lift the chassis from the bottom; grasp the underside of the chassis exterior with both hands.

Site Requirement Guidelines  
Site Requirement Guidelines  
Warning  
This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be  
accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security.  
Statement 1017  
The environmental monitoring functionality in the router protects the system and components from  
potential damage from overvoltage and overtemperature conditions. To ensure that normal operation and  
avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan your site configuration and prepare your site before installation.  
After installation, make sure the site maintains an ambient temperature of 32°F through 104°F (0°C  
through 40°C), and keep the area around the chassis as free from dust as is practical.  
Planning a proper location for the router and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is  
essential for successful system operation. Equipment placed too close together or inadequately  
ventilated can cause system overtemperature conditions. In addition, chassis panels made inaccessible  
by poor equipment placement can make system maintenance difficult. Following are precautions that can  
help avoid problems during installation and ongoing operation.  
Follow these general precautions when planning your equipment locations and connections:  
Plan for access to both front and rear panels of the chassis.  
Ensure that the room where the chassis operates has adequate ventilation. Remember that electrical  
equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not cool equipment to acceptable operating  
temperatures without adequate ventilation.  
Use the show environment command regularly to check the internal system status. The  
environmental monitor continually checks the interior chassis environment; it provides warnings for  
high temperature and maximum and minimum voltages and creates reports on any occurrences. If  
warning messages are displayed, take immediate action to identify the cause and correct the  
problem.  
We recommend keeping the router off the floor and out of any area that tends to collect dust.  
Follow ESD prevention procedures to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge  
can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.  
Ensure that the port adapter (or the blank port adapter) is in place and secure for proper cooling. The  
fans direct cooling air throughout the chassis interior; a loose component or empty slot can redirect  
the air flow away from active components.  
Rack-Mounting Guidelines  
The rack-mounting hardware included with router is suitable for standard 19-inch equipment racks and  
telco-type racks; brackets for 23- and 24-inch racks are available separately. To easily access the  
interface cables while the router is installed in a rack make certain that you have access to the rear of the  
router.  
Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair  
rack-mount installation. If a power strip does impair a rear rack-mount installation, remove the power  
strip before installing the router in the rack, and then replace it after the chassis is installed. As an  
alternative, you can mount the router on an equipment shelf, provided that the rack dimensions allow  
you to secure the router to the shelf and the overall configuration permits safe installation and access.  
However, we recommend rack-mounting the router.

Figure 2-2 Cisco uBR7114 Router Footprint and Outer Dimensions  
Chassis width  
17.5 in. (44.45 cm)  
To use the rack-mounting hardware provided with the router, consider the following guidelines:  
To mount the router between two posts or rails using the brackets, the inner clearance (the width  
between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 17 inches (43.18 cm).  
The height of the chassis is 3.5 inches (8.89 cm).  
When mounting the router in four-post or telco-type racks, be sure to use all the screws and the  
brackets provided to secure the chassis to the rack posts.  
If you plan to use an equipment shelf, ensure that the shelf is constructed to support the weight and  
dimensions of the chassis. Figure 2-2 shows the chassis footprint, which you need if you are  
designing a customized shelf. We recommend that you use the rack-mount kit designed for  
Cisco uBR7100 series routers.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation  
Site Requirement Guidelines  
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:  
Install the router in an open rack whenever possible. If installation in an enclosed rack is  
unavoidable, ensure that the rack has adequate ventilation.  
An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air, because heat generated  
by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment  
above.  
Caution  
To prevent chassis overheating, never install the router in an enclosed rack or room that is not properly  
ventilated or air conditioned.  
Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each unit generates heat. Maintain a minimum  
clearance of 3 inches (7.62 cm) on the back and front of the chassis for the cooling air inlet and  
exhaust ports, respectively.  
Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air, which also helps to draw cooling air through the  
chassis. The best placement of the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in the rack, which can be  
found by experimenting with different configurations.  
When equipment installed in a rack (particularly in an enclosed rack) fails, try operating the  
equipment by itself, if possible. Power off other equipment in the rack to allow the unit under test a  
maximum of cooling air and clean power.  
Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it  
back near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or  
removing a port adapter or connecting cables). Otherwise, allow 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance  
to remove the port adapter.  
Install the chassis and external devices to which it will connect in a contiguous stack.  
Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity and  
prevent the rack from falling over.  
If you use telco-type racks, be sure that the rack is bolted to the floor and secured, because in these  
types of installations only one end of the chassis mounts to the two rack posts with the brackets.  
Ensure that the weight of the chassis does not make the rack unstable.  
Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis.  
Note  
We strongly recommend that you provide a chassis ground connection. (See “Attaching the System  
In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding overtemperature conditions  
in the following section, “Temperature and Humidity Requirements.” To properly install a  
Cisco uBR7100 series chassis in a rack, see the instructions given in “Rack-Mounting the Chassis”  
Temperature and Humidity Requirements  
Table 2-1 lists the operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements. The ranges listed are  
those within which Cisco uBR7100 series routers continue to operate; however, a measurement that is  
approaching the minimum or maximum of a range indicates a potential problem. You can maintain  
normal operation by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they approach a  
maximum operating range.

Power Connection Guidelines  
Follow these precautions and recommendations when planning power connections to a Cisco uBR7100  
series router:  
Check the power at your site before installation and periodically after installation to ensure that you  
are receiving clean power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.  
The AC power supply includes the following features:  
Autoselects either 110V or 220V operation.  
All units include a 6-foot (1.8-meter) electrical power cord that is appropriate for the country  
of operation.  
Warning  
Warning  
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that  
the protective device is rated not greater than: 15A minimum, 60VDC. Statement 1005  
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the  
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection  
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024  
Use a grounded AC power outlet and install proper grounding to avoid damage from lightning and  
power surges.  
The AC-input power supply operates on input voltage and frequency within the ranges of 100 to  
240 VRMS and 50/60 Hz without the need for operator adjustments. This power supply also  
incorporates an active power factor corrector that minimizes the unwanted generation of line current  
harmonics that can cause overload of site electrical distribution systems.  
Note  
We recommend an uninterruptible power source to protect against power failures at your  
site. We recommend powering a Cisco uBR7100 series router from a 15A receptacle at the  
power source.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation  
Site Requirement Guidelines  
Note  
The Cisco uBR7100 series router installation must comply with all applicable codes and is approved for  
use with copper conductors only. If installing the router in a central office environment that requires  
Telcordia grounding, the ground bond fastening hardware should be of compatible material and preclude  
loosening, deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of hardware and joined material. Attachment of  
the chassis ground to a central office or other interior ground system should be made with a minimum  
6-AWG, copper ground conductor.  
To satisfy Telcordia grounding requirements, the chassis provides two threaded chassis grounding  
receptacles, located on the sides near the rear of the chassis, which are intended to be bonded directly to  
the central offices or other interior ground system. The chassis ground requires 3.5 mm screws, which  
attaching the system ground.  
Plant Wiring Guidelines  
Following are guidelines for setting up the plant wiring and cabling at your site. When planning the  
location of the new system, consider the distance limitations for signaling, EMC, and connector  
compatibility, as described in the following sections.  
Interference Considerations  
When wires are run for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur  
between the field and the signals on the wires. This fact has two implications for the construction of plant  
wiring:  
Bad wiring practice can result in radio interference emanating from the plant wiring.  
Strong electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially when it is caused by lightning or radio  
transmitters, can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the router, and can even create an  
electrical hazard by conducting power surges through lines and into equipment. (Review the safety  
Note  
To predict and remedy strong EMI, you may also need to consult experts in radio frequency interference  
(RFI).  
If you use twisted-pair cable in your plant wiring with a good distribution of grounding conductors, the  
plant wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference. If you exceed the recommended distances, use a  
high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal when applicable.  
If wires exceed recommended distances, or if wires pass between buildings, give special consideration  
to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse caused by lightning or other  
high-energy phenomena can easily couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy  
electronic devices. If you have had problems of this sort in the past, you may want to consult experts in  
electrical surge suppression and shielding.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation  
Site Requirement Guidelines  
Distance Limitations and Interface Specifications  
The size of your networks and the distances between connections depend on the type of signal, the signal  
speed, and the transmission media (the type of cabling used to transmit the signals). For example,  
standard coaxial cable has a greater channel capacity than twisted-pair cabling. The distance and rate  
limits in the following descriptions are the IEEE recommended maximum speeds and distances for  
signaling; however, you can usually get good results at speeds and distances far greater than these. For  
example, the recommended maximum rate for V.35 is 2 Mbps, but it is commonly used at 4 Mbps  
without any problems. If you understand the electrical problems that might arise and can compensate for  
them, you should get good results with rates and distances greater than those shown here; however, do  
so at your own risk.  
Note  
We recommend that you do not exceed specified transmission rate and distance limits.  
When preparing your site for network connections to a Cisco uBR7100 series router, you must consider  
a number of factors related to each type of interface:  
The type of cabling required for each type (fiber, thick or thin coaxial, foil-twisted pair [FTP], or  
unshielded twisted-pair [UTP] cabling)  
Distance limitations for each signal type  
The specific cables you need to connect each interface  
Any additional interface equipment you need, such as transceivers, hubs, switches, modems,  
channel service units (CSUs), or data service units (DSUs)  
Cable pinouts if you plan to build your cables  
Note  
The specific interface information you need is contained in the documentation that is shipped with each  
port adapter.  
Also see Appendix C, “Cable Specifications,” for cabling information.  
Before installing a Cisco uBR7100 series router, have all additional external equipment and cables on  
hand. For ordering information, contact a customer service representative.  
Ethernet Connections  
There are two 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports on the rear panel of the router. Both ports  
use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. We recommend Category 5 UTP cable. The maximum segment  
distance is 328 feet (100 meters). UTP cables look like the cables used for ordinary telephones; however,  
UTP cables meet certain electrical standards that telephone cables do not. Cables are not included.  
Port Adapter WAN Connections  
Cisco uBR7100 series routers support a number of port adapters that provide different WAN connection  
ports on the rear panel of the router. For more information on the cables used with the WAN ports, see  
the documentation that accompanies the port adapter, as well as Appendix C, “Cable Specifications,”

Warning  
Warning  
This equipment must be installed and maintained by service personnel as defined by AS/NZS 3260.  
Incorrectly connecting this equipment to a general-purpose outlet could be hazardous. The  
telecommunications lines must be disconnected 1) before unplugging the main power connector or 2)  
while the housing is open, or both. Statement 1043  
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF  
or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables,  
detach the end away from the unit first. Statement 1026  
Console and Auxiliary Port Considerations  
Cisco uBR7100 series routers include an asynchronous serial console port and an auxiliary port. The  
console and auxiliary ports provide access to the access server either locally (with a console terminal)  
or remotely (with a modem). This section discusses important cabling information to consider before  
connecting a console terminal (such as PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port or  
connecting a modem to the auxiliary port.  
The main difference between the console and auxiliary ports is that the auxiliary port supports hardware  
flow control using RTS/CTS (Request To Send/Clear To Send) signaling, and the console port does not.  
Flow control paces the transmission of data between a sending device and a receiving device, ensuring  
that the receiving device can absorb the data sent to it before the sending device sends more.  
When the buffers on the receiving device are full, a message is sent to the sending device to suspend  
transmission until the data in the buffers has been processed. Because the auxiliary port supports flow  
control, it is ideally suited for use with the high-speed transmissions of a modem. Console terminals  
transmit at slower speeds than modems; therefore, the console port is ideally suited for use with console  
terminals.  
For detailed information about installing a console terminal and connecting devices to the auxiliary port,  
Console Port Connections  
Cisco uBR7100 series routers include an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45).  
Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as a data terminal equipment (DTE)  
or data communications equipment (DCE) device at the end of the cable. Your router arrives with cables  
and adapters to connect a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation  
software) to the console port.  
To connect a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable  
with the female RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled TERMINAL). The default parameters for the console  
port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits. The console port does not support hardware  
flow control.

you rack-mount the router. For instructions on how to connect the system ground, see the next section,  
Warning  
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special  
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure  
your safety:  
This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.  
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest  
component at the bottom of the rack.  
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the  
rack. Statement 1006  
Tip  
If using an external upconverter, it should be mounted either above or below the Cisco uBR7100 series  
router to minimize the length of cable connecting the downstream port to the upconverter.  
This section describes how to rack-mount the chassis in a standard four-post equipment rack. The router  
is shipped with 19-inch rack-mount brackets; larger brackets for use with a 23- or 24-inch rack are

Attaching the System Ground Connection  
Attaching the System Ground Connection  
Warning  
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and  
disconnected last. Statement 1046  
Before you connect power or turn on power to your router, we strongly recommend that you provide an  
adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router’s chassis. This connection is required for a  
central office that must comply with Telcordia bonding requirements; it is optional but highly  
recommended for other installations.  
Note  
Note  
The Telcordia bonding connections are in addition to the grounding that is required for the AC power  
connection.  
Chassis grounding receptacles for Telcordia bonding connections are provided on each side of the router,  
near the rear of the chassis.  
One set of grounding receptacles should be used for the Telcordia bonding ground connection, and the  
other set can be used for attaching the cable management bracket (see Attaching the Ground Wire).  
To ensure that the chassis grounding connection that you provide is adequate, you need the following  
parts and tools:  
One grounding lug—Must have two 3.5-mm screw holes that have a 0.63-inch (16.002-mm) spacing  
between them, and a wire receptacle large enough to accept a 6-American Wire Gauge (AWG)  
multistrand, copper wire. This grounding lug is provided in the accessory kit.  
Two slotted hexhead 3.5 x 7-mm thread-forming machine screws. These screws are provided in the  
accessory kit.  
One grounding wire—6-AWG, 0.162-inch (4.115-mm) diameter, with approximately 0.108 inch  
(2.743 mm) of insulation, for a total wire diameter of approximately 0.27 inch (6.858 mm). The  
wire’s length is dependent on your router location and site environment. This wire is not available  
from Cisco Systems; it is available from any commercial cable vendor.  
Flat-blade screwdriver  
Crimping tool large enough to accommodate the diameter of the wire receptacle on your grounding  
lug  
Wire stripper  
Attaching the Ground Wire  
To attach the grounding lug to the chassis grounding receptacles on the router, use the following  
procedure:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Step 3  
Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the 6-AWG wire approximately 0.75 inch (19.05 mm).  
Insert the 6-AWG wire into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.  
Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to  
ensure that a proper mechanical connection.

installed, unless you order a port adapter separately as a spare. For information on installing port  
adapters, see the installation and configuration notes for your port adapter.  
Warning  
Warning  
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.  
Statement 1001  
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF  
or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables,  
detach the end away from the unit first. Statement 1026  
Connecting Upstream and Downstream Ports  
The upstream and downstream ports are connected as follows:  
DS0 RF outputs the downstream after it has been processed by the Cisco uBR7100 series integrated  
upconverter. This is an RF signal suitable for output to a combiner.  
DS0 outputs the downstream as an IF signal. This signal must be output into an external  
waveconverter before sending it to a combiner.  
US connects the upstream cables to the upstream ports. If an upstream port is not being used, it  
should remain unconnected.  
Use high-quality RG-59 cabling for both the upstream and downstream ports. RG-6 cable is not  
recommended for headend use.

Connecting the Fast Ethernet Ports  
The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u specifications  
for 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps transmission over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. These ports also  
support autosensing and autonegotiation of the proper transmission mode (half duplex or full duplex)  
with an attached device.  
Each Fast Ethernet port has an RJ-45 connector that supports standard straight-through and crossover  
Category 3 or Category 5 UTP cable:  
Use Category 3 UTP straight-through cables when connecting a 10BASE-T port to a hub.  
Use Category 3 UTP crossover cables when connecting to a PC or other Ethernet device.  
Use Category 5 UTP straight-through cables when connecting 100BASE-TX to a hub.  
Use Category 5 UTP crossover cables when connecting to a PC or other Ethernet device.  
Note  
Cisco Systems does not supply Category 3 or Category 5 UTP RJ-45 cables; these cables are available  
commercially. For more information, see the “Fast Ethernet Port Cables and Pinouts” section on  
To connect the Fast Ethernet port to an Ethernet hub, use the following procedure:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Step 3

Chapter 4 System Startup  
Starting the System  
Starting the System  
After installing the router and connecting cables, start the router as follows:  
Step 1  
At the back of the router, place the power switch on the power supply in the ON (|) position. The green  
power (PWR) LED on the router comes on.  
Step 2  
Step 3  
Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.  
During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The LEDs on the fixed interfaces and the modular  
port adapter go on and off in irregular sequence. Some may go on, go out, and go on again for a short  
time.  
Step 4  
Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (a few seconds), the network  
processor begins to initialize the interfaces. During this initialization, the LEDs on each port behave  
differently (most flash on and off).  
The enabled LED on each interface goes on when initialization is completed, and the console screen  
displays a system banner similar to the following:  
Restricted Rights Legend  
Use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is  
subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph  
(c) of the Commercial Computer Software - Restricted  
Rights clause at FAR sec. 52.227-19 and subparagraph

Software clause at DFARS sec. 252.227-7013.  
cisco Systems, Inc.  
170 West Tasman Drive  
San Jose, California 95134-1706  
Step 5  
When you start up the router for the first time, the system automatically enters the setup command  
facility, which determines which interfaces are installed and prompts you for configuration information  
for each one. On the console terminal, after the system displays the system banner and hardware  
configuration, you see the following System Configuration Dialog prompt:  
--- System Configuration Dialog ---  
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:  
You have the following options:  
Enter yes to proceed with the setup facility to configure the router’s interfaces  
Enter no to exit the setup procedure, and instead proceed to use command line interface (CLI)  
configuration commands to configure the global (system-wide) and interface-specific parameters.  
Note  
You do not have to configure the interfaces immediately; however, you cannot enable the  
interfaces or connect them to any networks until you have configured them.  
If the system does not complete each of the steps in the startup procedure, proceed to Chapter 5,  
“Troubleshooting the Installation,” for troubleshooting recommendations and procedures.

Troubleshooting the Installation  
Your Cisco uBR7100 series router went through extensive testing before leaving the factory. However,  
if you encounter problems starting the router, use the information in this chapter to help isolate the cause  
of the problems. This chapter contains the following sections:  
The procedures in this chapter assume that you are troubleshooting the initial system startup, and that  
your router is in the original factory configuration. If you have removed or replaced components or  
changed any default settings, the recommendations in this chapter might not apply. Make sure to review  
the safety warnings listed in the publication that accompanied your Cisco uBR7100 series router before  
using the troubleshooting procedures in this chapter.  
Troubleshooting Overview  
This section describes the troubleshooting methods used in this chapter and describes how  
Cisco uBR7100 series routers are divided into subsystems for more efficient problem solving.  
Figure 5-2 shows the general troubleshooting strategy described in this chapter. Refer to this chart, as  
necessary, to follow the steps to isolate problems to a specific subsystem; then resolve the problem if  
possible.  
Before You Call for Technical Assistance  
If you are unable to easily solve the problem, contact a customer service representative for assistance  
and further instructions. Provide the representative with the following information:  
Date you received the router  
Chassis serial number  
Type of software and release number  
Brief description of the problem you are having  
Brief explanation of the steps you have taken to isolate and resolve the problem  
Maintenance agreement or warranty information

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the Installation  
Troubleshooting Overview  
Locating the Serial Number on Your Router  
The serial number label is located on the input/output (I/O) side, lower-right corner of the chassis.  
The serial number format is: 3 letters, 4 numbers, and 4 characters (combination of letters and numbers)  
See Figure 5-1 for the location.  
Figure 5-1 Serial Number Location  
Problem Solving Using a Subsystems Approach  
The key to solving problems with the system is isolating the problem to a specific subsystem. The first  
step in solving startup problems is to compare what the system is doing to what it should be doing.  
Because a startup problem is usually caused by a single component, it is more efficient to first isolate  
the problem to a subsystem rather than to troubleshoot each component in the system. For these  
troubleshooting procedures, consider the following subsystems:  
Power subsystem—Includes the power supply and the external power cable.  
Processor subsystem—Includes the network processing card, the modular port adapter, the service  
module, and the fixed RF ports. The system memory and management functions reside on the  
network processing card, and the enabled LED on each port indicates if the port is initialized. A port  
adapter that is partially installed in the router can cause the system to hang and crash.  
Cooling subsystem—Includes the fans.  
The following sections help you isolate a problem to one of these subsystems and direct you to the  
appropriate troubleshooting section.  
Identifying Startup Problems  
Startup problems are commonly due to the source power or to a port adapter that is dislodged from the  
router. Although an overtemperature condition is unlikely at initial startup, the environmental  
monitoring functions are included in this chapter because they also monitor internal voltages.  
When you start up the router for the first time, you should observe the startup sequence described in the  
“Starting the System” section on page 4-2, which contains a more detailed description of the normal  
startup sequence.  
LEDs indicate all system states in the startup sequence. By checking the state of the LEDs, you can  
determine when and where the system failed in the startup sequence. Use the following descriptions to  
isolate the problem to a subsystem, and then proceed to the appropriate sections to try to resolve the  
problem. See Figure 5-2.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the Installation  
Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem  
The system ready LED (SYS RDY) comes on after the power LED and indicates that the  
network processor card is enabled for operation by the system; however, it does not mean that  
the Fast Ethernet port is functional or enabled. This LED comes on during a successful router  
boot and remains on during normal operation of the router.  
If this LED remains off when you start the router, it is probably a problem with the main  
processor card. Contact your service representative for technical assistance.  
Each enabled LED for the cable interface (EN, DS0 RF, DS0, U0, U1, U2, and U3) comes on  
initially at power-on and then turns off. The LED then comes on again and remains on when the  
corresponding port is enabled and configured for operations.  
If an enabled LED fails to come on at initial power-on, or if the LED fails to come on and remain  
on after the port is enabled and configured, proceed to the “Troubleshooting the Port Adapter  
The slot 0 and slot 1 LEDs only come on when the PCMCIA card slot is being accessed by the  
system. These LEDs remain off during normal operation of the router and do not indicate startup  
problems.  
The initial system banner should be displayed on the console screen.  
to verify that the terminal is set up correctly and that it is properly connected to the router’s console  
port.  
Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem  
Check the following to help isolate a problem with the power subsystem:  
Is the power LED (PWR) on?  
If yes, the power source is good, and the power supply is functional.  
If no, make sure that the power cable is connected at both ends.  
If the power LED remains off, and the power switch is set correctly, suspect the power source  
or the power cable. Turn the switch off, connect the power cable to another power source, if  
available, and turn the switch back on. If the LED comes on, the problem is the first power  
source.  
If the power LED fails to come on after you connect the power supply to a new power source,  
replace the power cord, and turn the switch back on. If the LED comes on, return the first power  
cable for replacement.  
If the LED still fails to come on when the power supply is connected to a different power source  
with a new power cable, the power supply is probably faulty. Contact a service representative  
for further instructions.  
Troubleshooting the Processor Subsystem  
The processor subsystem comprises the network processing card and the ports. The system can operate  
without a port adapter installed as long as none are in partial contact with the connector pins. A port  
adapter that is partially connected to the router sends incomplete signals to the processor, which faults  
the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus and causes the system to hang. Therefore, first ensure

that the system software has initialized successfully. If not, remove the port adapter and restart the  
system. If the system then boots, reinsert the port adapter card and, if necessary, troubleshoot the port  
adapter.  
Troubleshooting the Network Processor Card  
The procedures in this section assume that the router is in the original factory configuration, and that you  
have not made changes to your configuration file.  
If the system ready LED (SYS RDY) does not come on as expected (see the “When you start up the  
on page 5-3), check the following items to help isolate the problem:  
Do all of the LEDs remain off when the system power switch is turned on?  
fans and the power supply are functioning properly.  
If the power supply and fans appear operational but the system ready or enable LEDs are off,  
suspect that an improperly connected port adapter has hung the system. Reinsert the port  
adapter, tighten all captive installation screws, and then restart the system.  
Is the system ready LED on?  
If yes, the system software has initialized successfully, and the system is operational.  
If the system ready LED remains off, the system detected a processor hardware failure. (This  
LED should be on in normal operation.) Contact a service representative for instructions.  
Troubleshooting the Port Adapter and Fixed RF Ports  
Check the following to help isolate a problem with a port adapter or fixed RF port:  
Are all enabled LEDs on?  
If yes, the system is operational.  
Are any enabled LEDs off?  
If the enabled LED on a port adapter is off, first verify that the port adapter has been enabled  
and configured for operations. The enabled LED remains off when a port adapter has not been  
configured and enabled.  
If the port has been enabled but its corresponding enabled LED is still off, suspect that the  
adapter has pulled away from the router. Reseat the adapter in its slot. (You do not have to turn  
off the system power when removing or replacing port adapters.) After the system reinitializes  
the interfaces, the enabled LED on the adapter should come on.  
If the enabled LED remains off after the above checks, it is likely that the system has detected  
a processor hardware failure. Contact a service representative for instructions.

Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem  
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem  
Check the following to help isolate a problem with the cooling system:  
When you start up the system, do the fans start operating?  
To determine if the fans are operating, listen for them. In noisy environments, place your hand on  
the front of the chassis to feel for air being pushed out of the vents. If necessary, pop off the front  
bezel to expose the fans and verify that they are operating correctly.  
If yes, the power to the fans is good.  
If no, there is a problem with the fan or power. (See the “Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem”  
The following messages, if displayed, indicate that the system has detected a critical  
overtemperature condition or out-of-tolerance power inside the chassis:  
Queued messages:  
00:01:19:%ENVM-4-ENVWARN:+2.5 V measured at +2.59  
00:01:19:%ENVM-4-ENVWARN:+5.15 V measured at +5.31  
00:00:19:%ENVM-2-ENVCRIT:chassis core measured at 31C/87F

00:00:19:%ENVM-2-ENVCRIT:chassis outlet 2 measured at 30C/86F  
Although an overtemperature condition is unlikely at initial startup, ensure that heated exhaust air from  
other equipment is not entering the router’s inlet vent and that there is sufficient clearance around the  
sides of the chassis to allow cooling air to flow.  
The above message could also indicate a faulty component or temperature sensor. Use the show  
environment or show environment table command to display the internal chassis environment.  
If you experience trouble with the startup that is not resolved with these procedures, manually power off  
the router and contact a service representative for assistance and further instructions.

Maintenance  
This chapter describes basic maintenance for the Cisco uBR7100 series router. The chapter contains the  
following sections:  
Online Insertion and Removal  
The port adapter in the Cisco uBR7100 series router supports online insertion and removal (OIR). This  
function allows you to install and replace the port adapter while the universal broadband router is  
operating. In most instances, you do not need to shut down system power.  
The following is a functional description of OIR; for specific procedures to install, configure, or replace  
a port adapter, refer to the appropriate port adapter documentation at the following URL:  
The port adapter has a bus connector that connects it to the universal broadband router’s midplane. Each  
midplane connector has a set of tiered pins in three lengths. The pins send specific signals to the system  
as they make contact with the port adapter. The system assesses the signals it receives and the order in  
which it receives them to determine if a board is being removed or inserted into the midplane. From these  
signals, the system determines whether to reinitialize a new interface or shut down a removed interface.  
For example, when inserting a port adapter, the longest pins make contact with the port adapter first, and  
the shortest pins make contact last. The system recognizes the signals and the sequence in which it  
receives them.  
When you remove or insert a port adapter in a Cisco uBR7100 series router, the midplane pins send  
signals to notify the system, which then performs as follows:  
1. Rapidly scans the midplane for configuration changes.  
2. Initializes the newly inserted port adapter, noting any removed interfaces and placing them in the  
administratively shutdown state.  
3. Brings all previously configured interfaces on the port adapter back to the state they were in when  
they were removed. Any newly inserted interfaces are put in the administratively shutdown state, as  
if they were present (but not configured) at boot time. If a similar port adapter is reinserted into a  
slot, its ports are configured and brought online up to the port count of the original port adapter.

Chapter 6 Maintenance  
Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions  
You can remove and replace a port adapter with the same type of component without interrupting the  
system. To replace a port adapter with a different type of port adapter (for example, replacing a HSSI  
adapter with an ATM adapter), you must to copy your startup configuration to your running  
configuration on the Cisco uBR7100 series router to enable the interfaces on the port adapter.  
Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions  
Environmental monitoring and reporting functions are controlled by the network processor and allow  
you to maintain normal system operation by identifying and resolving adverse conditions that might  
disrupt operation.  
The environmental monitoring functions constantly monitor the internal chassis air temperature and  
power supply voltages and currents. The power supply monitors its own voltage and temperature and  
shuts itself down if it detects a critical condition within the power supply. The reporting functions  
periodically log the values of measured parameters so that you can retrieve them for analysis later, and  
the reporting functions display warnings on the console if any of the monitored parameters exceed  
defined thresholds.  
The front and back of the chassis must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and prevent  
overheating inside the chassis; we recommend at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance. Temperature  
sensors in the router monitor the internal air temperature and send warning messages when the internal  
air temperature exceeds the specified threshold.  
Environmental Monitoring  
The environmental monitoring functions use four sensors to monitor the temperature of the cooling air  
as it moves through the chassis.  
If the air temperature exceeds a defined threshold, the router displays warning messages on the console  
terminal. The system stores the present parameter measurements for both temperature and power voltage  
in NVRAM so you can retrieve them later.  
In addition, the power supply monitors the internal power supply temperature and voltages. A power  
supply is either within tolerance (normal) or out of tolerance (critical). If the internal power supply  
temperature or voltage reaches a critical level, the power supply shuts down without any interaction with  
the system processor.  
The environmental monitoring functions use the following levels of status conditions to monitor the  
system:  
Normal—All monitored parameters are within normal tolerances.  
Warning—The system has exceeded a specified threshold. The system continues to operate, but  
operator action is recommended to bring the system back to a normal state.  
Critical—An out-of-tolerance temperature or voltage condition exists. The system continues to  
operate; however, immediate operator action is required.  
Table 6-1 lists the typical temperature thresholds for each network processor type, and Table 6-2 lists the  
power thresholds for the normal, warning, and critical (power supply-monitored) levels.

Displaying Environmental Status Reports  
Cisco uBR7100 series routers display warning messages on the console if chassis interface-monitored  
parameters exceed a desired threshold. You can also retrieve and display environmental status reports  
with the show environment, show environment all, show environment last, and show environment  
table commands. Parameters are measured and reporting functions are updated every 60 seconds. A brief  
description of each of these commands follows.  
Caution  
To prevent overheating the chassis, ensure that your system is drawing cool inlet air. Overtemperature  
conditions can occur if the system is drawing in the exhaust air of other equipment. Ensure adequate  
clearance around the sides of the chassis so that cooling air can flow through the chassis interior  
unimpeded and exhaust air exits the chassis and is not drawn into the inlet vent of other device.  
The show environment command displays the current environmental status of the system. The report  
displays parameters that are out of the normal values. No parameters are displayed if the system status  
is normal. The example that follows shows the display for a system in which all monitored parameters  
are within normal range:  
Router# show environment

Flash Memory Card Usage  
The Cisco uBR7100 series router has two Personal Computer Memory Card International Association  
(PCMCIA) slots for Type II flash memory cards. Slot 0 is the lower PCMCIA card slot and slot 1 is the  
upper PCMCIA card slot.  
The following sections describe how to insert, remove, and format a flash memory card  
Inserting a Flash Memory Card  
To insert a flash memory card in either PCMCIA slot of the Cisco uBR7100 series router, use the  
following procedure. You do not need to power off the system to insert a flash memory card.  
Note  
To avoid potential problems when inserting spare flash memory cards in your Cisco uBR7100 series  
universal broadband router, we recommend that you reformat all of your flash memory cards during your  
regularly scheduled service times. The “Formatting a Flash Memory Card” section on page 6-8 contains  
instructions that explain how to reformat a flash memory card.  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Locate the PCMCIA card slots. For proper electrocmagnetic compliance (EMC), the slots have a cover  
that is secured with a captive screw. (See Figure 6-1.)  
Use a flat-head screwdriver to loosen the captive screw that secures the protective cover, and lift the  
protective cover. (See Figure 6-2.)  
Tip  
The flash disk memory card slots are labelled slot 0 and slot 1 on the chassis, but the flash disk memory  
cards themselves are addressed as disk0 and disk1, respectively, when using Cisco IOS commands.

Step 2  
Step 3  
Press the ejector button on the slot. (See Figure 6-4c.)  
Grasp the card and pull it from the slot and place the card in an antistatic bag.  
Formatting a Flash Memory Card  
The flash memory card that shipped with your router contains the Cisco IOS software image you need  
to boot your router. In some cases, you might need to insert a new flash memory card and copy images  
or backup configuration files onto it. Before you can use a new flash memory card, you must format it.  
(Use only Type II PCMCIA flash memory cards provided by Cisco.)  
Tip  
Caution  
Note  
To avoid potential problems when inserting spare flash memory cards in your Cisco uBR7100 series  
router, we recommend that you reformat all your flash memory cards during your regularly scheduled  
service times.  
The following formatting procedure erases all information on the flash memory card. To prevent the loss  
of important data that might be stored on a flash memory card, proceed carefully. If you want to save the  
data on a flash memory card, copy the data to a server before you format the card.  
The following procedure assumes that you have already booted your router.  
To format a new flash memory card:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Using the procedure described in the “Inserting a Flash Memory Card” section on page 6-5, insert the  
flash memory card into slot 0. (If slot 0 is not available, use slot 1.)  
To format the flash memory card, use the format disk0: (or format disk1:) command as follows:  
Router# format disk0:  
All sectors will be erased, proceed? [confirm]  
Enter volume id (up to 30 characters): MyNewCard  
Formatting sector 1  
Format device disk0 completed  
Router#  
The system counts down the sectors as they are formatted. For example, a 48-MB flash memory card  
contains 384 sectors, and the display counts backwards from 384 to 1.  
When the format routine reaches sector 1, the new flash memory card is formatted and ready to use.

Copying a Bootable Image onto a Flash Memory Card  
After you have formatted a new flash memory card, you can copy a bootable image onto it. To copy an  
image, use the following procedure, which assumes the following:  
You have an I/O controller with a good image in the onboard flash memory single in-line memory  
module (SIMM) so you can start the router.  
The bootable image you want to copy to the flash memory card exists on a Trivial File Transfer  
Protocol (TFTP) server to which you have access (meaning you know its name and have connectivity  
to it), and at least one interface is available over which you can access this server.  
Note  
To ensure access to a TFTP server, you must configure at least one network interface on your  
router. For instructions on using this procedure, refer to the Cisco uBR7100 Series Software  
Universal Broadband Router Configuration Guide. See the “Related Documentation”  
You know the filename of the image you want to copy onto the flash memory card.  
To copy a bootable file (called new.image in the following examples) onto the flash memory card:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Boot the Cisco uBR7100 series router and allow it to initialize.  
Insert an unformatted flash memory card and format it using the procedure in the “Formatting a Flash  
Note  
If you have already formatted a flash memory card, you can use it to copy files. However, you  
cannot boot from a flash memory card that was formatted on another type of system. To use the  
card as a boot source, you must first reformat it on the router. To avoid potential problems when  
inserting flash memory cards in your router, we recommend reformatting all your flash memory  
cards during your regularly scheduled service times. The “Formatting a Flash Memory Card”  
section on page 6-8 contains instructions that explain how to reformat a flash memory card.  
Step 3  
Copy the new image (new.image) to the flash memory card and make this image the default boot image.  
Then reboot the router using the following series of commands:  
Router> enable  
Password: <password>  
Router# copy tftp:new.image disk0:new.image

Note  
In this example, the exclamation points (!!!) appear as the file is downloaded, and the “C”  
characters signify calculation of the checksum, which is a verification that the file has been  
correctly downloaded to the flash memory card.  
When the system reloads, it boots the new.image file from the flash memory card.  
Copying Bootable Images Between Flash Memory Cards  
As future releases of Cisco IOS images become available, you will receive these images either as a file  
booted from a network server, a file on floppy disk, or a file on a flash memory card.  
The following scenario describes how to use a newly released image on a flash memory card in a system  
that has an older image on a flash memory card in slot 0 and a default boot image in the onboard flash  
memory SIMM.  
For this scenario, the filenames are as follows:  
The new image on the new flash memory card is new.image.  
The old image on the flash memory card in slot 0 (which is addressed as disk0:) is old.image.  
The bootable image in onboard flash memory is boot.image.  
You will copy the new image from the new flash memory card onto the flash memory card that contains  
the old image.  
Note  
The scenario assumes that the new image will fit on the flash memory card in slot 0, alongside the old  
image. If there is not enough available space, use the delete command to delete files from the flash  
memory card to make sufficient room for the new image; however, do not delete the image.old file. Then  
use the squeeze command to remove these deleted files from the flash memory card. If, after you have  
deleted files and used the squeeze command, the two files cannot coexist on the flash memory card in  
slot 0, remove this card (place it in an antistatic bag and store it in a safe place), then insert the new flash  
memory card (with the file new.image) in slot 0. Proceed to Step 5 and use the boot system flash  
slot0:new.image command to designate the file new.image as the default boot image.  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Boot the Cisco uBR7100 series universal broadband router. By default, the file boot.image is used.  
Enable the router as follows:  
Router> enable  
Password: <password>  
Router#  
Step 3  
Insert the new flash memory card into slot 1.

Upgrading the SDRAM Memory Modules  
Step 4  
Use the following command to copy the file new.image in slot 1 to the flash memory card in slot 0, only  
if there is enough memory space for the two images to coexist. If there is not enough memory space,  
proceed to Step 5.  
Router# copy disk1:new.image disk0:new.image  
Note  
You can also enter the preceding command as copy disk1:new.image disk0:.  
Step 5  
Use the following series of commands to designate the file new.image (which is on the flash memory  
card in slot 0) as the default boot image:  
Router# configure terminal  
Router(config)# no boot system  
Router(config)# boot system flash disk0:new.image  
Router(config)# ^z  
Router# copy running-config startup-config  
Router# reload  
When the system reloads, it boots the file new.image from the flash memory card in slot 0.  
Upgrading the SDRAM Memory Modules  
The Cisco uBR7100 series router has upgradable memory modules on the network processing card  
located inside the router. To access these modules, you must remove the top cover of the chassis. Review  
the safety information before starting this procedure.  
Note  
SDRAM system memory defaults to 128 MB and can be upgraded to either 192 MB or 256 MB.  
(SDRAM packet memory is fixed at 64 MB.)

Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution  
when servicing. Statement 1034  
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. Statement 4  
Warning  
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF  
or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables,  
detach the end away from the unit first. Statement 1026

To remove the top cover, use the following procedure:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Step 3  
Step 4  
Make sure that you are properly grounded.  
Remove all power from the chassis.  
Remove all the network connections.  
Remove the chassis from the rack (if necessary) and place the it on a tabletop or workbench.  
Caution  
If you are moving the chassis to a workbench or other work area, it is a good idea to reconnect the chassis  
ground to help prevent ESD damage to the chassis components.  
Step 5  
Step 6  
Step 7  
Unscrew the four cover screws at the front of the chassis and place the screws in a safe, easily accessible  
location. See Figure 6-5.  
Using both hands (one on either side of the cover), lift up the front of the cover and pull it towards you  
until it is clear of the bezel at the rear of the chassis. See Figure 6-7.

Removing the SDRAM DIMM  
To remove the existing DIMM, use the following procedure:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Step 3  
Make sure that you are properly grounded.  
Locate the DIMM and position the chassis so that you are facing the DIMM module you want to remove.  
Open the DIMM latches on the DIMM to release the DIMM from the socket. (See Figure 6-8) The  
DIMM is under tension in the socket; therefore, the DIMM might be released from the socket with some  
force.

SDRAM DIMM  
Caution  
Step 5  
To prevent ESD damage when working with DIMMs: handle the DIMM by the card edges only, place a  
removed DIMM on an antistatic mat, and store it in an antistatic container.  
Place the DIMM in an antistatic container to protect it from ESD damage.  
Replacing the SDRAM DIMM  
Note  
The network processor card contains two SDRAM slots for user-configurable system memory, DIMM 1  
and DIMM 2.  
The amount of memory installed in slot DIMM 1 must be greater than or equal to the memory  
installed in slot DIMM 2.  
Slot DIMM 2 is zero for the default memory configuration of 128 MB.  
Slot DIMM 0 is used only for packet memory and is fixed at 64 MB in the factory.  
To replace the SRAM DIMM, do the following:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Make sure that you are properly grounded.  
Remove the new DIMM from its antistatic container.

Step 3  
Hold the DIMM between your thumbs and forefingers and insert the connector edge of the DIMM  
straight into the socket. See Figure 6-10.  
Caution  
Step 4  
When inserting the DIMM, use firm but not excessive pressure. If the socket is damaged, the chassis  
must be returned to the factory for repair.  
Gently push the DIMM into the socket until the socket latches close over the ends of the DIMM. (See  
Figure 6-11.) If necessary, rock the DIMM gently back and forth to seat it properly.  
Figure 6-11 Inserting the DIMM  
Step 5  
Step 6  
When the DIMM is installed, check to see if it is seated properly. If the DIMM appears misaligned,  
carefully remove it and reseat it in the socket. Push the DIMM firmly back into the socket until first one  
and then the other latch moves into place.  
Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 to replace the second DIMM.  
Replacing the Chassis Cover  
To replace the cover on the Cisco uBR7100 series router, do the following:  
Step 1  
Using both hands, carefully hold the cover at an angle and insert it back into the cover tab slots at the  
rear of the chassis. See Figure 6-12.

1. EuroDOCSIS specifications are baseline settings for an EuroDOCSIS-compliant, two-way cable system.  
2. Minimum settings are slightly different than the EuroDOCSIS settings to account for cable system variations over time and temperature. Using these  
settings should increase the reliability of EuroDOCSIS-based, two-way cable systems.  
3. Transit delay is defined as the “round trip” from the cable headend to the furthest customer and back.  
4. QAM = Quadrature Amplitude Modulation: a method of modulating digital signals onto a radio-frequency carrier signal involving both amplitude and  
phase coding.  
5. These settings are measured relative to the digital carrier. Add 6 or 10 dB, as determined by your company’s policy and derived from the initial cable  
network setup, relative to the analog video signal.  
6. dBc = decibels relative to carrier.  
7. ns = nanoseconds.  
Integrated Upconverter Specifications  
The integrated upconverter that is installed in the Cisco uBR7100 series chassis meets all DOCSIS and  
EuroDOCSIS specifications. The upconverter outputs an RF signal and operates in the frequency range  
of 55 to 858 MHz (band center). The output range is +50 to +63 dBmV at 64 and 256 QAM; the output  
can go down to +45 dBmV but with degraded power accuracy.  
Note  
Note  
The integrated upconverter output is available on the downstream port labeled DS0 RF. The downstream  
labeled DS0 outputs an IF signal that must be put through an external upconverter before use.  
On the Cisco uBR7111E and Cisco uBR7114E routers, the DS0 connector is automatically muted when  
the DS0 RF port is enabled.

Cable Specifications  
This appendix contains cable and cable pinout information for the Cisco uBR7100 series universal  
broadband routers.  
Note  
This appendix specifies pinouts only for the pins used. Pins not listed in the tables are not connected.  
Coaxial Cables  
The coaxial cable used to connect the Cisco uBR7100 series universal broadband routers at the headend  
should be very high-quality cable.  
We recommend that you use a headend-grade coaxial cable or a quad-shield coaxial cable to connect the  
cable modem cards to the hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network. The center conductor must be straight  
and extend 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) beyond the end of the connector, and the connector should be securely  
crimped to the cable. The following headend cables are recommended:  
59-series cable (preferred)—20 AWG (0.032 inch/0.81 mm diameter) silver plated, copper-clad,  
steel center conductor; bonded foil inner shield; 95 percent braid second shield; nonbonded foil third  
shield; 95 percent braid fourth shield.  
59-series quad shield—20 AWG (0.032 inch/0.81 mm diameter) copper-clad steel center conductor;  
bonded foil inner shield; 53 percent braid second shield; nonbonded foil third shield; 34–35 percent  
braid fourth shield.  
6-series quad shield—18 AWG (0.0359 inch/0.91 mm diameter) copper-clad steel center conductor;  
bonded foil inner shield; 60 percent braid second shield; nonbonded foil third shield; 40–42 percent  
braid fourth shield.  
Note  
Any of the three of the coaxial cables listed can be used to connect a Cisco cable interface card to the  
HFC network; however, the consistent use of 59-series cable is preferred. If you connect a 59-series  
cable to a cable interface card that was previously connected using 6-series cable, the difference in the  
center connector diameter might cause intermittent connectivity loss.

Appendix C Cable Specifications  
Console and Auxiliary Port Cables and Pinouts  
If you use different types of coaxial cable, the following problems can appear:  
Damage to Cisco uBR7100 series cable interface card connectors—Cable interface card connectors  
are designed for 59-series or 6-series cable and connectors. Larger cables can damage the  
connectors.  
Poor return loss—High-quality cable and correct connectors help to ensure an optimal return loss of  
16 dB or more.  
Caution  
Poorly shielded coaxial cable may result in undesired signal leakage (egress), interference from  
over-the-air signals (ingress), or crosstalk between cables in close physical proximity.  
Console and Auxiliary Port Cables and Pinouts  
The router arrives with a console and auxiliary cable kit, which contains the cable and adapters you need  
to connect a console (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) or modem to the  
router. The console and auxiliary cable kit includes:  
RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable  
RJ-45-to-DB-9 female data terminal equipment (DTE) adapter labeled TERMINAL  
RJ-45-to-DB-25 male data communications equipment (DCE) adapter labeled MODEM  
Figure C-1 shows the RJ-45 cable connector.

Identifying an RJ-45 Rollover Cable  
You can identify a rollover cable by holding the two ends of the cable next to each other, with the tab at  
the back. The wire connected to the pin on the outside of the lefthand plug should be the same color as  
as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the righthand plug, as shown in Figure C-2.

Fast Ethernet Port Cables and Pinouts  
The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u specifications  
for 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps transmission over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. Each Fast Ethernet  
port on the router has an RJ-45 connector to attach to Category 3 or Category 5 UTP cables.  
Use a Category 3 UTP crossover cable when connecting 10BASE-T port to a hub.  
Use a Category 3 UTP straight-through cable when connecting to a PC or other Ethernet device.  
Use a Category 5 UTP crossover cable when connecting 100BASE-TX to a hub.  
Use a Category 5 UTP straight-through cable when connecting to a PC or other Ethernet device.  
Note  
Cisco Systems does not supply Category 3 or Category 5 UTP RJ-45 cables; these cables are available  
commercially.  
Identifying an RJ-45 Crossover Cable  
You can identify a crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cables  
side-by-side with the tab at the back. The first (far left) colored wire (pin 1) at one end of the cable is  
the third colored wire (pin 3) at the other end of the cable. The second colored wire (pin 2) at one end  
of the cable is the sixth colored wire (pin 6) at the other end of the cable. Pin 1 wire is white.

Frequency Allocation Tables  
This appendix provides information on broadcast and cable television NTSC and PAL/SECAM  
standards and frequencies used around the world.  
There are three standards for transmitting video. They are defined by the method of encoding color onto  
a monochrome signal. The methods are defined as:  
NTSC—National Television System Committee  
NTSC is the current standard used for analog television in the United States and elsewhere. NTSC  
supports color television transmission in a 6-MHz channel bandwidth and has 525 interlaced scan  
lines. Two fields are interlaced to make one frame with a frame rate of 29.97 frames per second and  
a field rate of 59.94 fields per second. A fraction (approximately 8 percent) of the available  
bandwidth is used for signal synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver, giving an  
effective resolution of 640x480. The aspect ratio, or ratio of picture width to picture height, is 4:3.  
PAL—Phase Alternating Line  
PAL is a composite color system similar to NTSC. In PAL, however, the color difference signals  
alternate phase at the horizontal line rate. PAL video consists of a 625-line frame, a frame rate of 25  
Hz, and a field rate of 50 Hz. As with NTSC, approximately 8 percent of the available bandwidth is  
used for synchronization yielding an effective resolution of 768x576. The aspect ratio is 4:3. The  
PAL standard and its variants are used primarily in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Brazil, and  
Argentina.  
SECAM—SEquential Couleur Avec Memoire  
SECAM is a color television broadcasting system using 625 picture lines and a 50-hertz (Hz) field  
rate, in which the two color-difference signals are transmitted sequentially instead of  
simultaneously.  
NTSC information is covered in Table D-4 on page D-3 and Table D-5 on page D-8. General  
PAL/SECAM information is covered in Table D-6 on page D-10. Use the information in Table D-1,  
Table D-2, and Table D-3 on page D-2 to compare analog television standards used around the world.

PAL/SECAM Cable Television Channels and Relative Frequencies  
PAL/SECAM Cable Television Channels and Relative  
Frequencies  
Table D-6 provides information on the Phase Alternating Line (PAL) and SEquential Couleur Avec  
Memoire (SECAM) frequency map for standard 7- and 8-MHz channel bands in Europe.  
The FCS (reference subaltern frequency) for color integration is different for different countries. Also,  
the channel and frequency designations are different for different countries. For a summary of the ITU  
designations for PAL and SECAM systems and Recommendation ITU-R BT.470.6 standards, refer to  
Table D-1, Table D-2, and Table D-3 on page D-2. These tables provide general information that may  
help determine frequency allocations for specific countries. Table D-6 is a frequency allocation table for  
PAL B and G locations. Also note that some countries use different schemes for VHF and UHF.  
More information can be found at the websites listed on page E-1.  
Note  
The downstream frequency plan includes all center frequencies between 112 and 858 MHz on 250-kHz  
increments. It is up to the operator to decide which frequencies to use to meet national and network  
requirements

Site Log  
A site log provides a historical record of all actions relevant to the CMTS operation and maintenance.  
Keep your site log in a common place near the chassis where anyone who performs tasks has access to  
it. Site log entries might include the following:  
Installation progress—Make a copy of the Installation Checklist and insert it into the site log. Make  
entries on the Installation Checklist as each procedure is completed.  
Upgrades and removal/replacement procedures—Use the site log as a record of system maintenance  
and expansion history. Each time a procedure is performed on the system, update the site log to  
reflect the following:  
Port adapters installed, removed, or replaced  
Power supply removed or replaced  
Chassis replaced  
Configuration changed; port adapters or cable modem cards moved  
Software upgraded  
Corrective maintenance procedures performed  
Intermittent problems
