Primary Use of the MWR 1900 The MWR 1900 router is designed to be used at a cell site as part of an IP-RAN solution. Figure 1-1 shows the placement of and connections for the MWR 1900 router for this application.
MWR 1900 IP BTS router pair In the IP-RAN solution, the BTS site consists of a pair of MWR 1900 routers. The pair of MWR 1900 routers provides for an active and standby router for redundancy. A failure of the active MWR 1900 router causes the standby router to take over as the active router for the BTS site.

Each card also features protection switch solid state relays on the line interfaces, which together with redundancy logic and relay control added to the base Cisco IOS feature set on the MWR 1900, provides T1/E1 Protection Switching between redundant routers.
Overview of the Cisco MWR 1900 Router Compact Flash One external Compact Flash (CF) device is used on the MWR 1900 router. The CF memory size can vary with a minimum size of 32Mbyte and a maximum size of 128Mbytes. This device is configured in memory mapped mode (PCMCIA) to allow for hot insertion.
Environmental Monitoring Temperature Sensor Environmental Monitoring Temperature Sensor The MWR 1900 router has a temperature sensor to detect over-temperature conditions inside the chassis. The over-temperature detection trips at 75°C +/- 5%. This condition is reported to the processor as an interrupt and software then takes action on this interrupt to generate the appropriate alarming.

Connecting the FE Interface Cables The RJ-45 port supports standard straight-through and crossover Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables (refer to Figure 3-15). Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 UTP cables; these cables are available commercially. Confirm that the router is turned off.
Check that the CD LEDs goes on, which means that the cards’ internal CSU/DSU is communicating Step 6 with the CSU/DSU at the T1 or E1 service provider central office. For non-redundant configurations, use a straight-through, shielded RJ-48C-to-RJ-48C cable. 78-13982-02 Cisco MWR 1900 Mobile Wireless Edge Router Hardware Installation Guide Connecting the Network Cables...

Y-Cable Specifications Although it can be used in a standalone MWR 1900 router, the T1/E1 Multiflex VWIC is designed to be used in redundant configurations. Such configurations require a special Y-cable for connecting the active and standby routers. The Y-cable provides a dual E1 or T1 PRI connection.
All unused twisted pairs should be cut flush on both ends of the cable. Any unused wire in a twisted • pair where one wire is in use should be cut flush at both ends. Connecting the MWR 1900 Router to a DC-Input Power Supply This section contains instructions for: Required Tools and Equipment •...
