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.

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.

Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem to the Cisco ITP-L
Your router includes asynchronous serial console and auxiliary ports. 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).

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.
For more information on console port pinouts, see the online document Cisco Modular Access Router
Cabling Specifications on the Documentation CD-ROM that accompanied your router package or on
www.cisco.com.

Note
Connecting the Sun Netra X4270 System
The Sun Netra X4270 system does not have a serial A/LOM port. 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.

Using a DB-25 Adapter for Your Serial Link
The pinouts are identical for both of the RJ-45 serial ports on Sun systems. 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.

To connect to a terminal that has a 9-pin serial connector, connect one of the Sun Netra t1 serial ports to
a DB-9 (9-pin) adapter that performs the pin crossovers listed in Table 2-17.
Note
When viewed from the rear of the Sun Netra t1 system, pin 1 of the RJ-45 serial port is on the left and
pin 8 is on the right, as shown in Figure 2-19.
