3.2 Installation Procedures
The following sections detail the installation procedures for a Cisco 6160 with a POTS splitter configuration.
3.2.1 Stabilize and Measure the Rack Space
For the rack to remain stable, you must install your Cisco 6160 system components from the bottom to the top of the rack. Before you install any of the components, calculate the total rack space required to install your system. The required rack space depends on the number of Cisco 6160 chassis and POTS splitters that you plan to use. The number of components increases if you plan to install a subtended network.
Note See Table 2-2 to determine the total rack necessary for your configuration.
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.
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.
If you plan to expand your system to include more chassis in the future, allow space in the rack for additions during the initial installation, keeping in mind the weight distribution and stability of the rack.
3.2.2 Install the Third-Party POTS Splitter
For installation procedures to install the third-party POTS splitter in the rack, refer to the appropriate vendor documentation.
3.2.3 Install the Cisco 6160 Chassis
Complete the following steps to install the Cisco 6160 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.
Step 1 Connect a grounding strap to the ESD grounding jack. See the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section for the ESD grounding jack location on the Cisco 6160 chassis.
Step 2 Check the ear brackets on the sides of the chassis and reinstall them, if necessary. Ear brackets can be installed in two ways:
•Mid-mount, as shown in Figure 3-1—The ear brackets are installed in this position in the factory.
•Front mount, as shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-1 Mid-Mount Option for Ear Brackets
Figure 3-2 Front Mount Option for Ear Brackets
Step 3 Carefully lift the chassis from the bottom and place it above the POTS splitter in the rack.
Step 4 Use four mounting screws and a Phillips-head screwdriver to bolt the Cisco 6160 in the rack.
Step 5 Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 for each Cisco 6160 chassis as necessary.
3.2.4 Install the Blank Faceplates
Blank faceplates should occupy any empty line card slots in Cisco 6160 chassis. Blank faceplate installation is similar to line card installation.
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, and covers are in place.
Complete the following steps to install blank faceplates in the Cisco 6160:
Step 1 Vertically align the blank faceplate edges with the guides at the top and bottom of the slot.
Step 2 Lift up on the ejector lever and gently apply pressure to the bottom of the faceplate while pushing the blank faceplate into the slot.
Step 3 Push on the faceplate to fully seat the blank faceplate.
Step 4 Press down on the ejector lever to secure the faceplate.
3.2.5 Ground the Cisco 6160

Step 1 Verify that the OC-3c/OC-3c or OC-3c/2DS3 NI-2 card is installed in slot 10 (or slot 11, if a secondary NI-2 card is being installed for redundancy) of the Cisco 6160 chassis to ensure that the OC-3c NI-2 connections are active.
Note See the "Redundancy in Subtended Configurations" section on page 1-42 for more information about redundancy configurations.
Step 2 Attach the receive cable from the ATM switch to the TRNK 1 TX optical interface connector on the OC-3c/OC-3c or OC-3c/2DS3 NI-2 card.
Note See Figure 1-16 or Figure 1-17 or OC-3c connector locations.
Step 3 Attach the transmit cable from the ATM switch to the TRNK 1 RX optical interface connector on the OC-3c/OC-3c or OC-3c/2DS3 NI-2 card.
Step 4 To establish APS link redundancy repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for a secondary OC-3c/OC-3c or OC-3c/2DS3 NI-2 card.
Step 5 Reboot the system to reassociate the system MAC address.
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for each Cisco 6160 chassis being installed.
3.2.14.3 T1 or T1 IMA Network Connections
Complete the following steps to connect the T1 or T1 IMA network connections:
Note See the "IMA Configuration" section on page 1-5 for more information on how to configure an IMA network connection.
Step 1 Verify that you have a DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card is installed in slot 10 (or slot 11, if a secondary NI-2 card is installed for redundancy) and the DS3/2DS3+8xT1 IMA I/O card is installed on the chassis backplane.
Note See the "Redundancy in Subtended Configurations" section on page 1-42 for more information about redundant configurations.
Step 2 Connect one end of an RJ-48 cable to one of the RJ-48c receptacles on the DS3/2DS3+8xT1 IMA I/O card. If you have a subtended network configuration installed, this connection must be made from the DS3/2DS3+8xT1 IMA I/O card in the subtending host chassis.
Note See Table 2-4 for cable specifications. See Figure 1-19 for T1 interface locations.
Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable used in Step 2 to the ATM switch.
Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for each Cisco 6160, as necessary.
Note Verify that the RJ-48 cable pinouts connect transmit to receive and receive to transmit. For more information on the RJ-48c receptacle pinouts, see the "Pinouts for the DS3/2DS3+8xT1 IMA I/O Card RJ-48c Receptacles" section on page C-4.
3.2.15 Connect the Ethernet to the Management Network
Complete the following steps to connect the Ethernet to the management network:
Warning The ports labeled "ENET," "CNSL," and "AUX" are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should be connected only to other SELV circuits. Because the DSL circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.
Tip Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination.
Step 1 Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 10BaseT receptacle (ENET) on the NI-2 card faceplate.
Note See Table 2-4 for cable specifications.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the management network (for example, a LAN).
3.2.16 Connect the Console Terminal
Connect a VT100-compatible terminal to the system console port (CNSL) on the NI-2 card faceplate. Connect the terminal to a power source and set it up using the values that are shown in Table 3-2.

Warning The ports labeled "ENET," "CNSL," and "AUX" are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should be connected only to other SELV circuits. Because the DSL circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.
3.2.17 Connect the Auxiliary Port
Note This step is optional.
Connect a terminal, a modem, or another serial device to the RJ-45 auxiliary port (AUX) on the NI-2 card faceplate.
Warning The ports labeled "ENET," "CNSL," and "AUX" are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should be connected only to other SELV circuits. Because the DSL circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the TNV circuits.
Tip Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination.
3.2.18 Complete Initial Configuration
When you turn on the Cisco 6160 for the first time, 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.
3.2.18.1 Before You Begin
Complete the following 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 types of password required are enable secret, enable, and virtual terminal.
Step 4 Choose a name for the Cisco 6160. (This step is optional.)
3.2.18.2 Using the System Configuration Dialog
When you power up a Cisco 6160 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 6160 interfaces.
•Choose extended setup if you want to use the System Configuration Dialog to configure all of the Cisco 6160 interfaces.
An example of the use of each option follows the "Interface Numbering" section.
3.2.18.2.1 Interface Numbering
The System Configuration Dialog and the command line interface use the following interface numbering scheme:
•Interfaces whose names begin with "ATM0" (ATM0/1, ATM0/2, 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. ATM0/1 is the trunk port. ATM0/2 and ATM0/3 (if present) are subtending interfaces. For DS3+T1 with a DS3 WAN interface, ATM0/1 is the trunk port. ATM0/2 through ATM0/9 are subtending interfaces. For a T1 WAN interface using a DS3+T1/E1 IMA NI-2 card, one port from ATM0/2 through ATM0/9 can be the trunk, while the other seven can be subtending interfaces. For IMA group interfaces 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 "ATM34" are line card interfaces. (ATM10 and ATM11, which would indicate the NI-2 slots, are omitted.)
•Ethernet0/0 is the interface for the LAN that connects the Cisco 6160 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 port 4 in slot 6.
