5.2 Installation Procedures

The following sections detail the installation procedures for a Cisco 6015 configuration (with or without a POTS splitter) in an outside-plant environment.

Caution Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco equipment. Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly grounded using ground straps to eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment. Modules and cards are subject to ESD damage whenever they are removed from the chassis.

See the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section for ESD grounding jack locations on the Cisco 6015 system.

5.2.1 Verify the Remote Terminal Enclosure Compliance

Verify with your third-party vendor that the remote terminal enclosure meets the following compliance requirements: GR-487, UL 50, Type 4X, EN60529 IP 55, and NEMA 4X.

5.2.2 Verify the Cooling Capacity

Verify the cooling capacity of the heat exchanger or air conditioner that is installed in the enclosure. The remote terminal enclosure must provide adequate cooling by using an appropriately sized heat exchanger or air conditioner to dissipate heat generated by the installed Cisco 6015 chassis and other remote terminal system components.

See Table 2-5 to determine the power dissapation for each component that is wired to the fuse panel. Once you have determined the power dissipation required for all of the components that will be installed in the remote terminal enclosure, verify that the capacity of the heat exchanger or air conditioner is greater than this value to ensure proper equipment operation.

Ensure that your cabinet has proper airflow. For information on ventilation, heat dissipation, and cooling, see the "Ventilation" section.

Note For information on the Cisco 6015, see the "Outside-Plant Operating Environment Requirements" section. For Cisco 6015 chassis measurements, see Table 2-3.

5.2.3 Verify and Measure Rack Space

Before you install any of the chassis, determine the total rack space that is required for the installation of your system. The required rack space depends on the type of line card installed and the number of Cisco 6015 chassis, POTS splitters, and additional outside-plant equipment that you plan to use. The number of components will increase if you plan to install a subtended network.

You can install a combination of the following Cisco 6015 components in a rack:

Cisco 6015 chassis —In an outside-plant environment, Cisco recommends installing no more than three Cisco 6015 chassis in a four foot (1.22 meters) remote terminal enclosure.
Third-party POTS splitter, applicable in a Cisco 6015 with a POTS splitter configuration.

Note A system configuration using 8xDMTs requires a POTS splitter that expands the system capacity to 48 subscriber ports. Depending on the POTS splitter selected for your configuration, the installation of an additional POTS splitter may be necessary.

The 8xDMT over ISDN is designed for use in a commercial environment only.

Tip See the "Space" section for the calculation table necessary to plan the total rack space for your Cisco 6015 system configuration. For Cisco 6015 chassis measurements, see Table 2-3.

5.2.4 Install the POTS Splitter

If you are installing a Cisco 6015 with a POTS splitter configuration, you can use third-party POTS splitters in a Cisco 6015 with a POTS splitter configuration. Please verify the compatibility with your Cisco representative. If you are installing a Cisco 6015 without a POTS splitter configuration, proceed to the "Install the Cisco 6015 Chassis" section.

Note In a system configuration using 8xDMTs, the system requires a POTS splitter that expands the system capacity to 48 subscriber ports. Depending on the POTS splitter selected for your configuration, the installation of an additional POTS splitter may be necessary.

For installation procedures for each POTS splitter, refer to the vendor documentation.

See Figure 1-2 for the correct placement of the POTS splitters.

5.2.7 Install the Cisco 6015 Chassis

Complete the following steps to install the Cisco 6015 chassis.

Warning Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the power supplies or on the interface modules. These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.

Note The Cisco 6015 chassis ships with the cards and modules installed. To prevent damage, ensure that the screws on each card and module are tightened so that the cards do not fall out of the chassis during installation.

Step 1 Connect a grounding strap to an ESD grounding jack on the Cisco 6015. See the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section for ESD grounding jack locations on the Cisco 6015 system.

Step 2 Position one Cisco 6015 above the POTS splitter (if applicable). The bottom of the Cisco 6015 chassis should be flush with the top of the POTS splitter.

Caution Be careful not to disconnect the wires coming from the back of the Cisco 6015 chassis for the BITS clock source and the alarm relay contact connections.

Step 3 Use four mounting screws and a Phillips-head screwdriver to attach the extenders to the sides of the chassis if you are installing the system in a 23-inch rack, as shown in Figure 5-6.

Tip Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination.

Step 1 Verify that you have an ITEMP DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card installed in the Cisco 6015 chassis.

Step 2 Connect the 10BaseT RJ-45 connector to the ITEMP DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card (ENET). Figure 5-15 shows where to connect the Ethernet cable.

Note See Table 2-6 for cable and ferrite requirements.

Figure 5-15 ENET, CNSL, and AUX RJ-45 Receptacles on the ITEMP DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 Card

1	Console port	3	Ethernet port
2	Auxiliary port

Step 3 Run the cable through the ferrite one time, loop the cable back through the ferrite, and clamp the ferrite shut.

Step 4 Connect the other end of the cable to the management network (for example, a LAN).

5.2.21 Connect a Console Terminal

Connect a VT100-compatible terminal to the system console port on the ITEMP DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card (CNSL) for field service. Connect the terminal to a power source and set it up using the values that are shown in Table 5-2. Figure 5-15 shows where to connect the console cable. See Table 2-6 for cable requirements.

Table 5-2 Terminal Settings

Baud rate	9600 (transmit and receive)
Character size	8 bits
Parity	None
Stop bits	1
Flow control	None

5.2.22 Connect the Auxiliary Port

Connect a terminal, a modem, or another serial device to the auxiliary port on the ITEMP DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card (AUX). Figure 5-15 shows where to connect the auxiliary cable. See Table 2-6 for cable requirements.

Note This step is optional.

Tip Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination.

5.2.23 Complete Initial Configuration

When you turn on the Cisco 6015 for the first time, an interactive dialog called the System Configuration Dialog appears on the console screen. The System Configuration Dialog guides you through the initial configuration process. (You can run the dialog at any time by entering the setup command in privileged EXEC mode.)

When you complete the dialog, the system displays the configuration command script that you have created. It then offers you three options:

 
[0] Go to the IOS command prompt without saving this config.

 
[1] Return back to the setup without saving this config.

 
[2] Save this configuration to nvram and exit.

If you enter 2, the configuration is saved and used. If you answer 0 or 1, the configuration you created is not saved. Enter 1 if you wish to discard the configuration and restart the System Configuration Dialog.

After you have saved the initial configuration, you must set the temperature rating for your system using the set temp command.

To set the system temperature rating to osp (outside-plant environment):

 
DSLAM> set temperature-rating osp

To set the system temperature rating to commercial:

 
DSLAM# set temperature-rating commercial

A temperature rating mismatch alarm is triggered when a commercial or outside-plant environment line card or network interface card is installed in a systemthat has been configured with a different temperature rating. Therefore, if a system is configured for an outside-plant environment, and a commercial line card or network interface card is installed in the system, the temperature rating mismatch alarm will be triggered. Similarly, if a system is configured for a commercial environment, and an outside-plant environment line card or network interface card is installed in the system, the temperature rating mismatch alarm will be triggered.

Note Use the show facility-alarm status command to display any current alarms on the system.

The following is sample output of the show facility-alarm status command for the Cisco 6015:

 
System Totals  Critical: 1  Major: 0  Minor: 0

 
Source: ATM0/1          Severity: CRITICAL Description: 0    Loss of Signal

5.2.23.1 Before You Begin

Complete these steps before you run the System Configuration Dialog:

Step 1 Determine the IP address for the Ethernet interface.

Step 2 If you plan to configure in-band management, also determine the IP address for the ATM interface that will be used for in-band management (ATM0/0).

Step 3 Find out what the password strategy is for your environment. The System Configuration Dialog prompts you for three passwords, plus an SNMP community string. The three required password types are enable secret, enable, and virtual terminal.

Step 4 Choose a name for the Cisco 6015. (This step is optional.)

5.2.23.2 Using the System Configuration Dialog

When you power up a Cisco 6015 for the first time, you are offered the option of running the System Configuration Dialog. The System Configuration Dialog offers two configuration options: basic management setup and extended setup.

Choose basic management setup if you want to use the System Configuration Dialog to configure the passwords and the Ethernet interface only, and then use the management station or the command line interface to configure the remaining Cisco 6015 interfaces.
Choose extended setup if you want to use the System Configuration Dialog to configure all of the Cisco 6015 interfaces.

An example of the use of each option follows the "Interface Numbering" section.

5.2.23.2.1 Interface Numbering

The System Configuration Dialog and the command line interface use the following interface numbering scheme:

Interfaces whose names begin with "ATM0" (ATM0/0, ATM0/1, and so forth) are NI-2 card WAN interfaces. ATM0/0 is the ATM switch interface with the processor (sometimes referred to as the ASP interface, for ATM switch/processor). There is no need to configure ATM0/0 unless you plan to use in-band management. For DS3+T1, ATM0/1 is the default trunk port. ATM0/2 and through ATM0/9 are subtending interfaces. For E1, ATM0/2 is the default trunk port.For IMA group interfaces using the ITEMP DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card, one port from ATM0/ima0 through ATM0/ima3 can be the trunk port, with the other three being possible subtending interfaces.
Interfaces whose names begin with "ATM1" through "ATM6" are line card interfaces.
Ethernet0/0 is the interface for the LAN that connects the Cisco 6015 to its management system.

For line card interfaces, the number before the slash indicates the slot number. The number after the slash indicates the interface or port number. For example, ATM6/4 is slot 6, port 4.
