Introduction to the Cisco 3200 Series Routers
Introduction to the Cisco 3200 Series Routers
The Cisco 3200 Series routers provides industry-standard network software features that run on ruggedized hardware, suitable for harsh environments. A router includes a combination of mobile interface cards and a Cisco 3200 Rugged Enclosure. The following major components are available from Cisco:
•Cisco 3200 Rugged Enclosures
•Cisco 3270 Rugged Router card
•Mobile Access Router Card (MARC)
•Fast Ethernet Switch Mobile Interface Cards (FESMICs)
•Serial Mobile Interface Cards (SMICs)
•Wireless Mobile Interface Cards (WMICs)
This document describes the Cisco cards and the enclosure solutions that are used to assemble Cisco 3200 Series routers. A router can be purchased as a complete unit or purchased in part from Cisco and assembled by a qualified system integrator (SI) as a custom solution. For example, a qualified SI might assemble cards into a custom enclosure to suit a particular environment. Custom solutions based on Cisco cards must include a power source, cables, and an enclosure. For information about the specific hardware configuration of your router, contact your SI.
The following chapters provide information that you need for understanding the physical components of a completed Cisco 3200 Series router. This document is not intended to cover assembly or repair instructions.
Chapter 1, "Cisco 3270 Rugged Enclosure," describes the enclosures that house the Cisco 3200 Series routers.
Chapter 2, "Cisco 3270 Rugged Router Card," describes the Cisco 3270 Rugged Router card layout.
Chapter 3, "Mobile Access Router Card," describes the MARC layout.
Chapter 4, "Fast Ethernet Switch Mobile Interface Card," describes the FESMIC layout, ports, and buses.
Chapter 5, "Serial Mobile Interface Card," describes the SMIC layout, ports, and buses.
Chapter 6, "Wireless Mobile Interface Cards," describes the WMIC layout, ports, and buses.
Appendix A, "Smart Serial Port External Seal," describes how to seal the Smart Serial port.
Appendix B, "SFP Module Replacement," describes how to install and remove small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules on the Cisco 3270 Rugged Router card.
Audience and Scope
The audience for this document is the system administrator (SA), the SI, and the system engineer (SE). They are experts with networking industry training and experience. We assume that users are familiar with the terminology and concepts of the PC-104, Cisco IOS software, and Mobile IP networking.
The SA, SI, or SE refers to this document to understand how the router hardware is connected to peripheral devices and to perform minor troubleshooting on the cards in an existing router. Although they might not be specifically identified as SAs, SIs, or SEs, all users of this documentation are assumed to have comparable skills and knowledge.
