Cisco AccessPath-LS3 Integrated Access System Product Overview

The Cisco AccessPath-LS3 Integrated Access System is a scalable, high-density dial system designed to terminate a number of mixed digital and analog calls. The AccessPath-LS3 system provides dial access for service providers or an Enterprise deploying small to medium-scale hybrid access ports at a central or distributed site. It supports remote node or remote local-area network (LAN) applications using either asynchronous modem or Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) technology and includes the latest access server, switching, and high-end routing features available with Cisco IOS software.

The AccessPath-LS3 system integrates access servers and a high-end router that can be mounted in a single Electronic Industries Association (EIA)-standard rack cabinet. It can terminate either analog modem or digital ISDN for all of the incoming lines. Processing tasks—such as answering and terminating calls—are divided among several CPUs, increasing overall system call processing and throughput performance.

The Cisco AccessPath-LS3 Integrated Access System provides scalable dial-port counts and high-performance backbone routing in a distributed system architecture designed for the reliability and serviceability demanded by point-of-presence (POP) administrators who want to minimize downtime and service costs. Figure 1 shows the AccessPath-LS3 system with four access server shelves.

Introduction to the Cisco AccessPath-LS3 System Features

T1 or E1 lines, supporting either ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) or channel-associated signaling (CAS), feed into the AccessPath-LS3 system's Access Server Shelves. Each Access Server Shelf has four lines. With a maximum configuration of four Access Server Shelves, the AccessPath-LS3 system can accommodate up to 16 T1 or E1 connections.

For example, an Access Server Shelf has four lines. In a T1 Primary Rate Interface (PRI) configuration, each of these lines can handle 23 calls (23B+D). The maximum configuration of four Access Server Shelves provides a maximum capacity of 368 ISDN 1B+D BRI calls. The calls are terminated, aggregated, and multiplexed in the Access Server Shelf, then sent over a 100BaseT Fast Ethernet connection to the Console Router Shelf.

The Cisco AccessPath-LS3 Integrated Access System supports the following features:

Physical Specifications

The AccessPath-LS3 system consists of the following components that can be mounted in your own rack system:

Access Server Shelves

Each Access Server Shelf consists of the Cisco AS5300 universal access server, a versatile data communications platform that provides the functions of an access server, router, and digital modems in a single modular chassis. The access server is intended for Internet service providers (ISPs), telecommunications carriers, and other service providers that offer managed Internet connections, and also medium- to large-sized sites that provide both digital and analog access to users on an enterprise network. By terminating both analog and digital calls on the same chassis simultaneously, the access server provides you with a clear, simple, and easy migration path from today's analog dial access services to tomorrow's digital dial access services.

Console Router Shelf

The chassis includes four slots in which you can install modules. You can install any module into any available slot in the chassis. The slots are numbered from 0 to 3, as follows:

Switch Shelf

The Switch Shelf (FastHub 216T) is a managed 16-port 100BaseT Class II repeater for workgroups and server farms. It is a member of an extended network system of stackable, modular LAN and WAN products that increase LAN performance, connect remote offices and users, and provide secure access.

The Switch Shelf has 16 fixed 100BaseTX ports (with an alternative uplink port for connecting to other 100BaseTX hubs).

Safety with Electricity

Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Locate the emergency power-OFF switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly turn OFF the power.
Disconnect all power before doing the following:

Installing or removing a chassis

Working near power supplies

Warning Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units; disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.

Warning 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.

For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected.

Warning This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during normal use.

Warning When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.
Do not work alone if hazardous conditions exist.

Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.

Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.

Warning Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the router is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the router first.

Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety grounds.
If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:

Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
Turn OFF power to the device.
If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the victim's condition and then call for help.
Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.

In addition, use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power source, but still connected to telephone wiring or other network cabling:

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for it.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line is disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It can occur if electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:

Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.

Caution For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It should be from 1 to 10 megohm (Mohm).

Power Supply Considerations

Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving "clean" power (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner if necessary.

Warning The device is designed to work with TN power systems.

Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Warning This unit has more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the three to five power supply cords before servicing the unit.

Note Each AccessPath-LS3 component should be connected to its own circuit to ensure sufficient operational power.

The AC power supply on each component has the following characteristics:

Autoranging, 100 to 240 VAC, 2.0 to 7.0A, 50 to 60 Hz
6-ft (1.8-m) electrical power cord

Preventive Site Configuration

The following precautions will help you plan an acceptable operating environment for your AccessPath-LS3 system components and will help you avoid environmentally caused equipment failures:

Remember that electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Ensure that the room where your equipment operates has adequate circulation.
Always follow the ESD prevention procedures in the section "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" earlier in this document to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
Ensure that the chassis cover and module rear panels are secure. All empty module slots and WAN interface card slots must have filler panels installed. The chassis is designed to allow cooling air to flow within it, through specially designed cooling slots. A chassis with uncovered openings will create air leaks, which may interrupt and reduce the airflow across internal components.

Site Environment

Table 3 lists the operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements. The following ranges are those within which the Cisco AccessPath-LS3 Integrated Access System will 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.

Operating temperature range: 32 to 104° F (0 to 40° C).
Operating humidity range: 10 to 90%, noncondensing.
Airflow: Cooling air is drawn in through air intake vents on the right side and back of the chassis (when viewing the AccessPath-LS3 system from the front) and is exhausted through the left side and front of the chassis. Keep the AccessPath-LS3 system clear of obstructions and away from the exhaust of other equipment.

Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Equipment Racks

You can mount the AccessPath-LS3 components in a 19-, 23-, or 24-inch equipment rack. The following information will help you plan your equipment rack configuration:

Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each unit generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. Heat generated by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above.
When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the intake or exhaust ports.
If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is seated into the rack.
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 (and in adjacent racks) to allow the unit under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power.

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.

Tools for Installation

Each of the AccessPath-LS3 components must be unpacked and mounted in a rack that you supply. Therefore, you may need some or all of the following to complete the installation:

ESD-preventive wrist straps for each person
Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
Tape measure (optional)
Level (optional)

In addition, you might need the following external equipment:

To connect a serial port to a T1 network, you need a T1 channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU) that converts the High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) synchronous serial data stream into a T1 data stream with the correct framing and ones density. (Some telephone systems require a minimum number of 1 bits per time unit in a data stream, called ones density.) Several T1 CSU/DSU devices are available as additional equipment, and most provide either a V.35, EIA/TIA-449, or EIA-530 electrical interface.
To connect an Ethernet port to your local network, you need an RJ-45 to RJ-45 cable.

Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Rack-Mounting the Components

If you are planning to rack-mount the AccessPath-LS3 components, do so before making network and power connections. If you need to install modules or WAN interface cards, you can do so either before or after rack-mounting the components. Ideally, you would install modules or WAN interface cards when you have the best access to the router's rear panel.

Note You need a Number 2 Phillips screwdriver to mount the chassis in a rack.

Each component is shipped with one set of brackets. Brackets for 19-inch racks are shipped unless the 23- or 24-inch brackets are specified at the time of the order.

After the brackets are fastened to each chassis, you can rack-mount them. Using your own screws, attach each chassis to the rack as shown in Figure 6. Mount each chassis in the rack in the order shown in Figure 1.

Figure 6 Attaching the Access Server Chassis to the 19-Inch Rack—Rear Panel Forward

Attaching the Interdevice Cables

You must connect three different types of cables in order to complete the assembly of the AccessPath-LS3 system, as follows:

The Fast Ethernet port on each Access Server Shelf and the Console Router Shelf must be connected to the Switch Shelf using RJ-45 to RJ-45 straight-through cables.
The console port on each Access Server Shelf and Switch Shelf must be connected to the Console Router Shelf using the included octal cables (optional).
After the internal cabling is completed, a terminal must be connected to the console port on the Console Router Shelf to complete the software configuration of your AccessPath-LS3 system.

Note If you do not have the optional 16-port asynchronous module installed in the Console Router Shelf, you must connect the console to each component to complete the software configuration.

Connecting the Ethernet Ports on the Access Server Shelves

To connect the Access Server Shelves to the network, follow these steps:

Step 1 Each of the Access Server Shelves is connected to an Ethernet network by connecting the 100BaseT port to the corresponding port on the Switch Shelf. Connect each of the Access Server Shelves to the specified port on the Switch Shelf using the appropriate RJ-45 to RJ-45 cable (see Figure 7).

Figure 7 Connecting Each Access Server to the Switch Shelf

For example, connect the cable end labeled AS03-FE0 to the 100BaseT Ethernet port on the AS03 Access Server Shelf. Connect the other end of the cable, labeled FHUB-ETH03, to the 3x port on the Switch Shelf. Repeat this procedure until each of the access servers is connected to a port on the Switch Shelf.

Step 2 Connect the cable labeled CRS01-FE2/0 to the Fast Ethernet port in slot 2 of the Console Router Shelf. Connect the other end of this cable, labeled FHUB-ETH16, to port 16x of the Switch Shelf, not port 16 (see Figure 8).

Figure 8 Connecting the Console Router Shelf to a 100BaseT Port on the Switch Shelf

Caution You will disable both ports if you connect to both the uplink port (port 16) and port 16x.

Connecting the Console Ports to the Console Router Shelf (Optional)

If you have the optional 16-port asynchronous module installed in the Console Router Shelf, the console port on each of the Access Server Shelves and the Switch Shelf is connected to the Console Router Shelf using the labeled octal cable. This configuration allows you to access the console port on each AccessPath-LS3 component by connecting to one of the asynchronous ports on the Console Router Shelf (Cisco 3640).

Connect the labeled 68-pin side of each octal cable to the appropriate port on the Console Router Shelf. For example, the cable marked ASYNC 0-7 should be connected to the port marked 0-7 on the Console Router Shelf. Connect the other end of each octal cable as follows:

Step 1 Connect the RJ-45 connector on the octal cable marked AS01-CON to the console port on AS01. (See Figure 9).

Figure 9 Connecting the Console Router Shelf to Each Access Server Shelf Console

Step 2 Repeat Step 1 until each of the Access Server Shelf console port is connected to the Console Router Shelf.

Step 3 Connect the RJ-45 connector on the octal cable marked FHUB-CON to the console port on the Switch Shelf (FastHub 216T).

Step 4 Secure the cable connectors marked SPARE.

Connecting to the Console Port on the Console Router Shelf

Take the following steps to connect a local terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port on the Console Router Shelf (Cisco 3640):

Step 1 Connect the terminal using one of the thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cables (which look like telephone cables) and an RJ-45-to-DB-9 or RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled "TERMINAL") included with each of the components (see Figure 10).

Step 2 Configure your terminal or PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

Figure 10 Connecting the Console

Step 3 Perform the same procedure on each of the AccessPath-LS3 components to complete the software configuration.

Attaching the Power Cables and Powering on the Components

To connect the power cords and power on each of the AccessPath-LS3 components, take these steps:

Step 1 Plug the power cord for each shelf into a 3-terminal, single-phase power source that provides power within the acceptable range (110 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz).

Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).

Step 2 Power ON the shelves. The LEDs labeled SYSTEM on the front or back panel should go on. The internal power supply fan should power on.

Warning Secure all power cabling when installing this unit to avoid disturbing field-wiring connections.

Connect to the Network Backbone

The Ethernet and Fast Ethernet interfaces on the Console Router Shelf are used to connect the Cisco AccessPath-LS3 Integrated Access System to a LAN. The synchronous serial and ISDN BRI interfaces on the Console Router Shelf are used to connect the AccessPath-LS3 system to a WAN.

The cables required to connect the router to a network are not provided with the router. However, cables and transceivers can be ordered from Cisco. For ordering information, see the section, "Cisco Connection Online" at the end of this document.
