Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 1 Overview
Cisco ASR 920 Series Routers Features
• 10GE SFP+—supports 10G mode.
Network Timing Interfaces
Note Network timing interface is available only on Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-IM Router.
• BITS input or output—The BITS interfaces support clock recovery from either a T1 at 1.544 MHz
or an E1 at 2.048 MHz, configurable by software. BITS interface is provided through a standard
RJ-48 connector on the front panel.
• 1PPS input or output and ToD input or output—This shielded RJ-45 interface is used for input
or output of time-of-day (ToD) and 1PPS pulses. ToD format includes both NTP and IEEE
1588-2008 time formats.
The same RS422 pins for 1PPS and TOD are shared between input and output directions. The
direction for each can be independently configurable through software.
• GPS 10 Mhz input and output—10 MHz input for GPS Synchronization. This connector on the
front panel can provide 10MHz output as well from Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-IM Router. The direction
can be configured using software.
• GPS 1 PPS input and output—1 PPS input for GPS Synchronization. This connector on the front
panel can provide 1 PPS output as well from Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-IM Router. The direction can be
configured using software.
External Alarm Inputs
The Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router supports four dry contact
alarm inputs through an RJ-45 jack on the front panel.
• Normally Open—indicates that no current flows through the alarm circuit and the alarm is
generated when the current is flowing.
Each alarm input can be provisioned as critical, major, or minor.
Management Interfaces
The Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router have the following
management interfaces:
Management ENET Port
A single management copper ENET port supporting 10/100/1000Base-T operation is provided on the
front panel. It uses a standard RJ-45 jack.
Note This is not a data plane port.
Note This interface does not support Synchronous Ethernet Clocking.
