CH A P T E R 2 Cabling and Connections Revised: March 11, 2011, OL-1184-12 This chapter describes how to connect hardware components to the network. It contains the following sections: • Cabling A-Link and F-Link Connections, page 2-1 • Cabling Cisco ITP-L Connections, page 2-1 • Cabling the Control Signaling Network Connection, page 2-7 • Connecting the Sun Server Hardware, page 2-14 • Crossovers for Connecting to a Terminal Server, page 2-20 Cabling A-Link and F-Link Connections A-link and F-link connections lead from the PSTN signaling network to the Cisco ITP-L (formerly known as the Cisco SLT). In these configurations, SS7 signaling information is sent from the PSTN to the ITP-Ls. The ITP-Ls terminate MTP1 and MTP2 layers and use the Cisco Reliable User Datagram protocol (RUDP) to transport MTP3 and other upper layer SS7 protocols (such as ISUP and TCAP) across an IP network to the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch hosts. Note There are no cabling differences for A-link and F-link configurations. These configurations are treated the same during hardware installation. When the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host is configured to use the links, the configuration procedures are different. Cabling Cisco ITP-L Connections Use the information in this section to cable your Cisco ITP-L (IP Transfer Point — LinkExtender, formerly known as the Cisco Signaling Link Terminal or SLT). Table 2-1 provides guidelines for Cisco ITP-L connections. Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Hardware Installation Guide 2-2 OL-1184-12 Chapter 2 Cabling and Connections Cabling Cisco ITP-L Connections The SS7 signaling links connect the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host running Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software to an SS7 switch. You can connect the SS7 signaling links to a Cisco IPT-L, which connects to the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host over IP (recommended). Terminating SS7 signaling links at the Cisco IPT-L enhances the switchover performance of the system and is the preferred method for new or upgraded systems. For more information about moving signaling links, refer to the documentation that shipped with the Cisco IPT-L or to the online documentation at www.cisco.com. Connecting the Cisco ITP-L to a Network This section explains how to use the Ethernet or Token Ring ports to connect the router to the LAN. The cables required to connect the router to a network are not provided with the router. For ordering information, see www.cisco.com. For cable pinouts, see the publication Cisco Modular Access Router Cabling Specifications, available on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your router or at www.cisco.com. Depending on the configuration you have, select one of the following options: • Connect the Ethernet 10BASET port to an Ethernet hub, as shown in Figure 2-1. • Connect the Ethernet 10BASET port directly to a switch, as shown in Figure 2-2.

These ports provide administrative access to your router either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem). Identifying a Rollover Cable Use a rollover cable to connect to the asynchronous serial console and auxiliary ports. You can identify a rollover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. If you hold the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug (see Figure 2-3). If your cable came from Cisco Systems, pin 1 is white on one connector, and pin 8 is white on the other (a rollover cable reverses pins 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5). Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Hardware Installation Guide 2-4 OL-1184-12 Chapter 2 Cabling and Connections Cabling Cisco ITP-L Connections Figure 2-3 Identifying a Rollover Cable Pin 1 and pin 8 should be the same color Pin 1 H3824 Pin 8 Connecting the Console Terminal to the Cisco ITP-L Console Port Use the following steps to connect a terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port on the router: Step 1 Connect the terminal using the thin, flat, RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable (looks like a telephone cable) and an RJ-45 to DB-9 or RJ-45 to DB-25 adapter (labeled TERMINAL). (See Figure 2-4.) Note Step 2 The RJ-45 to DB-25 adapter (Cisco part number 29-0810-01) can be purchased from Cisco. Configure your terminal or PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits.

Use the serial management port for this platform. The Sun Netra X4270 server has four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (shown as GbE ports in Figure 2-17). • Net 0 (nge0) • Net 1 (nge1) • Net 2 (e1000g0) • Net 3 (e1000g1) For Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch deployments that use the Sun Netra X4270 platform, the nge interfaces can experience a hard hang if a network duplex mismatch occurs during operation. For stability purposes, we recommend that you use the Net 2 (e1000g0) and Net 3 (e1000g1) interfaces, and not the nge0 and nge1 interfaces. Setting Up Serial Connections To perform the initial configuration when you install your Sun system, and for on-going monitoring and management of the system, you need to use at least one of the serial ports on the system rear panel. You can connect serial A/LOM to any of the following devices: • A terminal—For this connection, you can use the standard RJ-45 patch cable supplied with the Sun Netra t 100 and Sun Netra t 105. • A Sun workstation—For this connection, you can use the standard RJ-45 patch cable supplied with the Sun Netra t 100 and Sun Netra t 105, but you need to insert one end into the DB-25 adapter also supplied with the Sun Netra t1 system. • A terminal server (or patch panel connected to a terminal server)—The pins in the Sun Netra t1 system serial ports correspond to the pins in the RJ-45 ports on the asynchronous serial interface breakout cable supplied by Cisco for use with the Cisco 26xx terminal server. For terminals from other manufacturers, you might need to make your own cross-over (null-modem) cable (see the “Crossovers for Connecting to a Terminal Server” section below. Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Hardware Installation Guide OL-1184-12 2-19 Chapter 2 Cabling and Connections Crossovers for Connecting to a Terminal Server Crossovers for Connecting to a Terminal Server The serial ports on the Sun Netra t1 server are DTE ports. If you are connecting them to other DTE ports, the cabling between the devices must perform a crossover. Note Do not use the Serial A/LOM port for modem connections. The DTE signal on this port changes temporarily to DCD when the Sun Netra t1 LOM device reports an event on the serial port. This can result in the loss of a modem connection. If you are connecting the Serial A/LOM port to a terminal server, disable modem control on the terminal server port. The pins in the Sun Netra t1 serial ports correspond with the pins in the RJ-45 ports on the asynchronous serial interface breakout cable supplied by Cisco for use with the Cisco 26xx terminal server. This Cisco cable performs the pin crossovers listed in Table 2-15. This means that, if you are using a Cisco 26xx terminal server (and you are connecting the Sun Netra t 100 or Sun Netra t 105 system to it using the asynchronous serial interface breakout cable), you do not need to do any pin crossovers yourself. You can use the straight-through RJ-45 patch cable supplied with the Sun Netra t 100 or Sun Netra t 105 system to connect directly to the breakout cable or to connect directly to a patch panel that is then connected to the breakout cable (see Figure 2-18). Note For other terminal servers, check the manufacturer documentation to see if the pin configuration used in the serial ports matches the pin configuration in the Sun Netra t1 serial ports. If it does not, you must make a cable that takes each pin on one of the Sun Netra t1 serial ports to the corresponding pin in the serial port of the terminal server connection.

To connect the Sun Netra t1 to a UNIX TIP session or a VT100 terminal, you need to use either the DB-25 (25-Pin DSUB male to 8-POS RJ-45 female) adapter that is supplied by Sun (part number 530-2889) with your system, or an alternative adapter that performs the same pin crossovers. The Sun-supplied DB-25 adapter enables you to connect to any Sun system. The crossovers that it performs are listed in Table 2-16.
