SRM cards is distributed to the individual service modules. The primary feature of bulk distribution is that it enables a switch to use fewer T3 or OC-3 lines instead of many T1 or E1 lines. A secondary benefit is that SRME cards can provide line redundancy to cards that otherwise could not use that feature.

A PXM card or service module operates in either standalone mode or redundant mode, depending on the card type, the other cards in the switch, and the configuration applied to that card. The following subsections provide planning guidelines for installing cards that will operated in standalone and redundant configurations.
Standalone Card Configuration Guidelines When a card is inserted in a switch without a standby or redundant card, it operates in standalone mode. If a standalone card goes down, all the connections on that card will fail and traffic will be lost. All cards that can be installed in an MGX switch can operate in standalone mode.
Page 367
When using a standalone PXM configuration, the switch supports a single standalone SRM per bay. • For the MGX 8830, a standalone SRM provides services to all cards in the switch and must be • installed in the slot that supports the standalone PXM. For example, if the standalone PXM is installed in slot 1, the standalone SRM must be installed in slot 7.
SRM cards are optional and add 1:N card redundancy, bulk distribution, and bit error rate testing (BERT) services to a Cisco MGX 8850switch. These services apply to select service modules, so in a MGX 8850 (PXM45) or MGX 8850/B switch, for example, you might use 1:1 card redundancy for some cards and 1:N redundancy for others.
SRMs provides services to only one bay. For example, to support redundant SRM services in the lower bay, SRM cards must be installed in slots 31 and 32. When installing redundant SRMs for a MGX 8830 or MGX 8830/B switch or a single bay in a •...
For more information, see which appears later in this chapter. When redundant cards are connected to redundant lines using intercard APS in a MGX 8950 switch, • you must install redundant AXSM-XG cards in adjacent slots where the odd numbered slot is the lower number.
Page 371
The rerouting of the line communications takes place over a single redundancy bus, one of which is installed in each bay of a Cisco MGX 8850switch. A MGX 8830 or MGX 8830/B switch has one redundancy bus, and MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), MGX 8850/B, and MGX 8880 switches have two, one for each bay.
Page 372
All cards in a 1:N redundant card set must be installed in the same bay. For example, in a • MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) or MGX 8850/B switch, all cards in a specific 1:N redundant card set must be installed in the upper bay or in the lower bay. The 1:N redundant card set cannot be split between the upper and lower bays.
All cards in a 1:N redundant card set must be installed in the same bay. For example, in a MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) or MGX 8850/B switch, all cards in a specific 1:N redundant card set must be installed in the upper bay or in the lower bay. The 1:N redundant card set cannot be split between the upper and lower bays.
• Slot 4 on the MGX 8880 switch is preconfigured to use redundant back cards, which physically connect the front card in slot 4 to any back cards installed in slot 3. Slot 4 cannot support a standalone configurations on its own.
Page 375
Chapter 4 Planning for Card Redundancy, Line Redundancy, and Bulk Distribution Figure 4-5 shows how redundant PXM1E cards use a Y-cable to connect to standalone lines. Figure 4-5 PXM1E front cards Figure 4-6 shows how redundant AXSM cards connect to standalone lines. Other service modules that support 1:1 card redundancy, such as FRSM12 and FRSM-HS2/B, use Y-cables in a similar manner.
When bulk distribution is used on the card hosting the standalone line, the line is standalone from • the service module to the SRM card. This is a single physical connection over the switch backplane. However, when the standalone line reaches the SRM, the SRME and SRME/B can be configured for redundant lines, if redundant SRMs are used with SONET, SDH, or STM-1 interfaces.
For proper APS operation between two switches a working line on one switch must also be the working line on the other switch, and the same applies to the protection line. Most service modules have specific requirements for which lines can host working lines and which can host protection lines, so proper hardware installation is required before the switch can be configured to support APS.
Page 378
Planning for Standalone and Redundant Line Configurations Figure 4-8 shows how a standalone AXSM connects to redundant lines. Figure 4-8 AXSM front card Because the front cards are far more complex and expensive than the back cards, intracard APS is not practical for most 1:1 redundant card installations.
Chapter 4 Planning for Card Redundancy, Line Redundancy, and Bulk Distribution • For VXSM-4-155 cards, the working line connects to a port on the upper bay back card and the protection line connects to the corresponding port on the lower bay back card. For example, if port 2 is configured for intracard APS, the working line is connected to port 2 in the upper bay and the protection line is connected to port 2 in the lower bay.
Page 380
Planning for Standalone and Redundant Line Configurations Back card and line fault tolerance is provided by intercard APS. If the working line or the back card to which it is connected fails, communications traffic is rerouted through the protection line and the back card to which it is connected.
Page 381
Chapter 4 Planning for Card Redundancy, Line Redundancy, and Bulk Distribution • Some service module back card types require an APS mini-backplane to support intercard APS. The APS mini-backplane requirements are listed in On an MGX 8880 Media Gateway, slots 3 and 4 do not support intercard APS. •...
Planning for Card Redundancy, Line Redundancy, and Bulk Distribution distribution is that it enables a switch to use fewer T3 or OC-3 lines instead of many T1 or E1 lines. A secondary benefit is that SRME and SRME/B cards can provide line redundancy to cards that otherwise could not use that feature.

Planning for Advanced Software Features The advantage of the IMA feature is that you do not need T3/E3 circuits to support high bandwidth on your switch. T1 IMA supports up to 16 1.544-Mbps links, and E1 IMA supports up to 16 2.048-Mbps links.

Notes about Cables and Connectors Cable and Connector Naming Conventions The suffix to the model number indicates the length of the cable. For example, 5610-50 indicates a 50-foot cable. Sometimes the suffix indicates the cable length in inches, rather than feet. This typically occurs on Y-cables or adaptor cables.
Maintenance and Control Ports The maintenance (or modem) port and the control (or console) port connect a switch or gateway to an ASCII terminal, workstation, or modem for remote alarm reporting or system monitoring. These ports are labeled MP or CP on the user interface back card. See on page 2-122 Releases 2 - 5.2, Part Number OL-4545-01, Rev.
Using 9600 baud, connect to the modem. Use a serial line interface protocol (SLIP) client package that does not enable compression and also supports a configurable EOF character. The MGX switch expects to see an EOF character of 300 in base 8.
This section explains the cabling that provides the MGX switch with an external clock source. If external equipment or a local digital central office provides synchronization to the Cisco MGX switch, the external clock source is connected to the user interface back card (PXM-UI-S3 or PXM-UI-S3/B).
A cable adaptor with an RJ-45 connector on one end and a BNC coax connector at the other end can be used for clocking. The maximum cable length is 533 feet (162.46 m) between the MGX switch and the first repeater or channel service unit (CSU). Selection of cable length equalizers is used. Wire build-out is required.
Page 571
Verify that you have a PXM-UI-S3 or PXM-UI-S3/B back card installed in slots 7 and 8 in the upper rear Step 1 bay of the switch. (In an MGX 8830 and MGX 8830/B, these cards would be in slots 1 and 2.) Step 2 Connect the cable connector to the EXT CLK 1 port on the user interface back card.
Control and Clock Cabling Figure B-2 The eight pins of the adapter are marked and have a one-to-one correlation to the eight lines on the RJ-45 Note connector. When you install the RJ-45 to wire-wrap adapter, you do not need to remove the card from its slot or turn off the power.
Appendix Step 3 Use a wire-wrapping tool to wrap the shield drain wire to the ground pin (pin 3 or 6) of the adapter. The shield drain wire is the bare wire shown in Figure B-5 Step 4 Use a wire-wrapping tool to wrap the two remaining wires to the pin of the adapter. Step 5 Slide the pin cover over the pins and onto the body of the adapter after all of the wires are connected.

Appendix Figure C-1 shows examples of star and mesh topologies. Figure C-1 Star-IBN Bonding Networks Bonding and earthing are accomplished through the construction and maintenance of bonding networks (BNs), which are connected and grounded to earth. In this appendix, BN refers to common bonding networks (CBNs), mesh-BNs (MBNs), and isolated bonding networks (IBNs) collectively.
Digital System Grounding For the Cisco MGX switch, Cisco policy has been to ground the return of the 48 VDC directly to the frame at the backplane. This method of grounding prevents transient currents caused by lightning or power surges from entering the system through the backplane, upsetting system performance and possibly damaging components.
Page 613
Appendix Equipment backplane speeds are in the category above 800 MHz. Because the design must anticipate the worst case scenario, concerns about RF damage are much greater. At 800 MHz only 10 inches of wire represents 500 ohms reactance. For the average coaxial cable shield integrity to be maintained, the termination of the shield must see a ground reference of no more than 50 ohms.
Bonding and Grounding the Cisco MGX System The coupling of surges into indoor signal or power cabling is reduced, in general, by running the cables in close proximity to CBN elements. However, in the case of external surge sources, the currents in the CBN will tend to be greater in peripheral CBN conductors.
Page 615
Appendix Except for the AC power supply modules, every module in a rack-mount system uses the rack for grounding. Therefore, the rack must connect to protective earth ground, and the equipment must be secured to the rack so as to ensure good bonding. A DC-powered node must have grounding conductors that connect at two separate locations: The grounding conductor provided with the supply source must connect to the correct terminal of •...

48 VDC return fails. This latter requirement is for safety. Full fault redundancy is achieved by having equal size conductors for the protective earth ground and the 48 VDC return of the switch.
