Chapter 2 Functional Description
Route Processor Card
Front Panel Connectors
This section describes the front panel ports and connectors of the RSP/RP card.
Management LAN Ports
Two dual-speed (100M/1000M) management LAN RJ-45 connectors are provided for use as out-of-band
management ports. The speed of the management LAN is autonegotiated.
Console Port
The EIA/TIA-232 RJ-45 Console Port provides a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) interface for
connecting a console terminal. This port defaults to 9600 Baud, 8 data, no parity, 2 stop bits with flow
control none.
Auxiliary Port
The EIA/TIA-232 RJ-45 auxiliary port provides a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) interface
that supports flow control. Use this port to connect a modem, a channel service unit (CSU), or other
optional equipment for Telnet management. This port defaults to 9600 Baud, 8 data, no parity, 1 stop bit
with software handshake.
Alarm Out
Alarm circuitry on the RSP/RP activates dry contact closures that are accessible through the nine-pin
Alarm Out connector on the RSP/RP front panel. Each RSP/RP card drives a set of three alarm output
contacts. Both normally-open and normally-closed contacts are available.
Only the active RSP/RP drives the alarm outputs. Should a switchover to the standby RSP/RP occur, the
newly active RSP/RP drives the alarm outputs.
Synchronization Ports
The SYNC 0 and SYNC 1 ports are timing ports that can be configured as Building Integrated Timing
System (BITS) ports. A BITS port provides a connection for an external synchronization source to
establish precise frequency control at multiple network nodes, if required for your application. The
RSP/RP card contains a Synchronous Equipment Timing Source (SETS) that can receive a frequency
reference from an external BITS timing interface or from a clock signal recovered from any incoming
1 SYNC (BITS/J.211) ports 8 External USB port
2 SFP/SFP+ ports 9 Management LAN ports
3 IEEE 1588 port 10 CONSOLE and AUX ports
