Step 3 Attach the other end of your cable to the RJ-45 port on the interconnect port adapter in the Cisco 7206 router shelf.

Step 4 Tighten the jackscrews on either side of the connector.

Caution
Never disconnect the interconnect cable while the system is operating (except when replacing a redundant dial shelf controller card) or you will lose all calls.

Figure 0-21: Connecting the Dial Shelf Interconnect Cable


Warning
The ports labeled "Network clock," "10BaseT," "Dial Shelf Interconnect," "Console," and "Alarms" are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Because the E1/T1 circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.

Installing and Removing a Flash Memory Card

Both the router shelf and the dial shelf contain PCMCIA slots for inserting Flash memory cards. The router shelf PCMCIA slots are located on the I/O controller and are oriented horizontally; the dial shelf PCMCIA slots are located on the dial shelf controller card and are oriented vertically. Except for the orientation of the slots, the installation procedures are the same for both shelves.

This section describes inserting and removing a Flash memory card in the dial shelf. For procedures specific to the router shelf, refer to the Cisco 7206 Router Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your router shelf.

The dial shelf controller card has 2 PCMCIA slots for Flash memory cards. The slots are numbered left to right, slot 0 and slot 1, respectively. Complete the following steps to insert a Flash memory card in either dial shelf controller card PCMCIA slot:


Note To avoid potential problems when inserting spare Flash memory cards in your dial shelf controller cards, Cisco recommends that you reformat your Flash memory cards on a Cisco 7206 router shelf running Cisco IOS Release 11.3AA or later during your regularly scheduled service times. Refer to the Cisco 7206 Router Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your system for instructions on formatting a Flash memory card.

Installing a Flash Memory Card

To install a Flash memory card, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Orient the Flash memory card so that the connector end faces the appropriate slot. (See Figure 0-22.)

Step 2 Carefully insert the card into the slot until it mates with the slot connector at the back of the slot. The eject button for the slot pops out toward you.


Note Flash memory cards do not insert completely flush with the dial shelf controller card front panel; a portion of the card remains outside of the slot. Do not attempt to force the card past this point.

Removing a Flash Memory Card

To remove a Flash memory card from the PCMCIA slot, complete the following steps (see Figure 0-22):

Step 1 Press the ejector button on the slot.

Step 2 Grasp the card and pull it from the slot.

Removing and Replacing the Blower Assembly

The Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server is equipped with a blower assembly, which is designed to monitor system internal operating temperatures and maintain acceptable cooling parameters.

This section lists tools and parts you need, and explains how to remove and replace the blower assembly in the dial shelf chassis.

Tools and Parts Required

You need the following parts and tools to remove and replace the blower assembly. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.

Removing the Blower Assembly

Caution The system will shut down two minutes after the system temperature threshold has been reached. Although normal blower assembly replacement is estimated not to exceed 30 seconds, if you expect the replacement process to exceed one minute, we recommend that you shut down the system prior to the removal and replacement process.

Caution The blower assembly weighs 27.5 lb (12.5 kg). Use two hands when removing or replacing the blower assembly.

To remove the blower assembly, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.

Step 2 Loosen the two captive screws on the blower assembly front panel. (See Figure 0-23.)

Step 3 Grasp the blower assembly handle with one hand and pull the blower assembly straight toward you about half way out of the slot.

Step 4 Place your other hand under the blower assembly as it extends from the dial shelf chassis to support the blower and prevent it from falling.

Step 5 Slowly pull the blower assembly all the way out of the slot and place it on an antistatic mat or in packaging to return it to the factory.


Figure 0-23: Blower Assembly Removal and Replacement


This completes the blower assembly removal process. Proceed to the section "Replacing the Blower Assembly."

Replacing the Blower Assembly

To replace the blower assembly in the dial shelf, complete the following steps. Refer to Figure 0-23 to orient yourself with the dial shelf chassis and the blower assembly. When you are finished, use a Site Log sheet to record service maintenance.

Caution The blower assembly weighs 27.5 lb (12.5 kg). Use two hands when removing or replacing the blower assembly.

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.

Step 2 Place one hand on the blower assembly handle and place your other hand under the blower assembly to support the weight.

Step 3 Position the blower assembly in the opening and slide it fully into the chassis until the backplane connectors mate.

Step 4 Using a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the two captive screws on the blower assembly front panel.

Step 5 Note service maintenance on your Site Log sheet.

This completes the blower assembly installation procedure. Proceed to the section "Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation" to verify your installation.

Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation

To verify that the blower assembly is properly installed and operational, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Listen to verify the fans are operative. In noisy environments, you might want to place your hand to the rear of the blower assembly and feel for air flow from the exhaust vent.

Step 2 Verify the green power LED on the blower assembly front panel lights.

If the power LED remains off, verify the blower assembly is fully installed in the dial shelf and the connector is firmly connected to the backplane; verify the captive screws are adequately tightened.

Step 3 Verify the yellow fault LED on the blower assembly front panel remains off.

If the fault LED lights, the newly installed blower assembly might be faulty, or the chassis connector might be damaged. Shut off system power; remove the blower assembly from the dial shelf, and check the connectors. If the connectors are in good condition, reinstall the blower assembly in the dial shelf and power ON the system.

If the fault LED is still on, assume the blower assembly is faulty. Install another blower assembly and return the faulty blower assembly to the factory.

This completes troubleshooting the blower assembly.

Dial Shelf Interconnect Port Adapter

The Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server is equipped with a dial shelf interconnect port adapter that provides the connection between the Cisco 7206 router shelf and the Cisco 5814 dial shelf. The interconnect port adapter installs in the router shelf and connects to the dial shelf via a full-duplex, 100-Mbps interconnect cable.

Depending on your circumstances, you might need to install a new dial shelf interconnect port adapter in a Cisco 7206 router shelf or replace a failed adapter. In either case, no installation tools are necessary; the dial shelf interconnect port adapter connects directly to the router midplane and locks into position by a port adapter lever. The dial shelf interconnect port adapter has no configurable ports.

The Cisco 7206 router shelf supports OIR; however, unless you have installed a second dial shelf interconnect port adapter and established a redundant connection to the dial shelf, you must either reload the entire system software after removing and replacing a dial shelf interconnect port adapter in an operating system, or you must power off the system during the replacement procedure.

You reload the system software at the router shelf console using the reload command. For a detailed description of the reload command, refer to the Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference publication available on the documentation CD-ROM that shipped with your system.


Note When you reload the software, all active calls are lost; any new incoming calls occurring during the reload process are not accepted.

If you power off and restart the system, the system software automatically reboots. For instructions on powering off and powering on the access server, refer to the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your system.

Tools and Parts Required

You need the following equipment and parts to install the dial shelf interconnect port adapter. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.


Note When an adapter slot is not in use, a blank adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router shelf to conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper air flow across the adapters.

Removing the Dial Shelf Interconnect Port Adapter

Use the following procedure to remove the dial shelf interconnect port adapter from the Cisco 7206 router shelf:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 2 Place the adapter lever for the desired adapter slot in the unlocked position. (See Figure 0-24.)


Figure 0-24: The Port Adapter Lever---Unlocked and Locked Positions


Step 3 Disconnect the dial shelf interconnect cable from the interconnect port adapter.

Step 4 Grasp the handle and pull the interconnect port adapter out of its slot, disconnecting it from the router shelf midplane.

Caution
Always handle adapters by the metal carrier edges and handle; never touch the adapter components or connector pins.

Figure 0-25: Port Adapter Handling---Side View


Step 5 Place the interconnect port adapter on an antistatic surface with its components facing upward. If you are returning the port adapter to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.

This completes the procedure for removing the dial shelf interconnect port adapter from the Cisco 7206 router shelf. Proceed to the section "Replacing the Dial Shelf Interconnect Port Adapter."

Replacing the Dial Shelf Interconnect Port Adapter

Use the following procedure to install a new dial shelf interconnect port adapter in the Cisco 7206 router shelf:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 2 Hold the interconnect port adapter component-side facing downward.

Step 3 Align the left and right edges of the interconnect port adapter's metal carrier between the guides in the slot. (See Figure 0-26.)


Figure 0-26: Aligning the Port Adapter Metal Carrier Between the Slot Guides


Step 4 Slide the interconnect port adapter into the slot until the connectors are properly seated in the midplane.

Step 5 Place the adapter lever in the locked position, as shown in Figure 0-24.


Note If the adapter lever does not move to the locked position, the adapter is not completely seated in the midplane. Carefully pull the adapter half way out of the slot, reinsert it, and place the lever in the locked position.

This completes the procedure for installing a new dial shelf interconnect port adapter in the Cisco 7206 router shelf. Proceed to the section "Attaching the Dial Shelf Interconnect Cable."

Attaching the Dial Shelf Interconnect Cable

The interconnect port adapter provides a single dial shelf interconnect receptacle. For a redundant connection to the dial shelf, you need to install a second port adapter.

Caution
Do not use the dial shelf interconnect port adapter for any outgoing WAN connections.

Connect the dial shelf interconnect cable as follows:

Step 1 Attach the interconnect cable directly to the RJ-45 port on the interconnect port adapter.

Step 2 Tighten the jackscrews on either side of the connector.

Step 3 Attach the other end of your interconnect cable to the port labeled "Dial Shelf Interconnect" on the Cisco 5814 dial shelf controller card. (See Figure 0-29.)


Figure 0-27: Connecting the Dial Shelf Interconnect Cable


Warning
The ports labeled "Network clock," "10BaseT," "Dial Shelf Interconnect," "Console," and "Alarms" are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Because the E1/T1 circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits

Step 4 Tighten the jackscrews on either side of the connector.

Step 5 Reload the system software using the reload command in EXEC mode, or restart the access server to reboot the system software.

This completes the dial shelf interconnect cable installation procedure. To verify the installation, proceed to the section "Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation."

Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation

To complete the installation, verify the LEDs operate properly by observing the following LED states on the dial shelf interconnect port adapter:

If the enabled LED is off, suspect that the interconnect port adapter has pulled away from the midplane. Reseat the interconnect port adapter in its slot.
If the enabled LED remains off, contact a service representative for assistance.
If the link LED is off, check the interconnect cable connection and tighten the jackscrews.

This completes the dial shelf interconnect port adapter installation. Refer to the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your router shelf for hardware troubleshooting procedures. Refer to the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Software Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server for software verification, configuration procedures, and examples.

Split Dial Shelves

This section explains how to install and configure dual Cisco 7206 router shelves in the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server to implement the split dial shelf configuration. Also included are instructions for verifying and troubleshooting the installation.

Tools and Parts Required

Your Cisco 7206 chassis is fully assembled at the factory; no assembly is required. However, you will need the following tools and equipment to remove and replace the router chassis. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.

In addition, you might need the following external equipment:

Several T1 CSU/DSU devices are available as additional equipment, and most provide either a V.35, EIA/TIA-449, or EIA-530 electrical interface.

Removing a Router Shelf

Warning
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
Warning
To prevent the rack from tipping when removing the router from telco-type racks, ensure that the rack is bolted to the floor and, if necessary, anchored with appropriate fixtures.
Caution
Cisco 7206 router shelves can weigh up to 50 lb (22.7 kg) each. Use both hands when removing or replacing a router shelf.
Caution
If your system is equipped with dual router shelves, Cisco recommends that you perform router replacements during low traffic periods.

To remove the Cisco 7206 router shelf, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed. If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.

Step 2 On the chassis, ensure that all captive screws on the network processing engine, the I/O controller, and each power supply are tightened and the port adapter levers are in the locked position.

Caution
Before removing the mounting screws from the rack-mount brackets, and to avoid injury, we recommend that two people remove the chassis from the rack. One person should support the chassis in the rack while the second person removes the mounting screws.

Step 3 Using a 1/4-inch, flat-blade screwdriver, remove all six 10-32 x 3/8 slotted screws (three on each side) from the rack mount brackets, as shown in Figure 0-28.

If you rack-mounted the Cisco 7206 router from the rear, the rack mount brackets are installed at the rear of the chassis. You must remove the mounting screws from both brackets before you can remove the chassis from the rack.

Warning
To prevent damage to the chassis or personal injury, never attempt to lift or tilt the Cisco 7206 using the port adapter handles or the I/O controller handle; they are not designed to support the weight of the router. Always have someone help you when removing the Cisco 7206.

Figure 0-28: Removing the Mounting Screws


Step 4 Slide the chassis out of the rack, pulling it out until the brackets (installed at the front or rear of the chassis) clear the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the equipment rack.

This completes the procedure for removing the chassis from the rack.

Replacing a Router Shelf

Warning
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
Caution
Cisco 7206 router shelves can weigh up to 50 lb (22.7 kg). Use two hands when removing or replacing a router shelf.
Caution
If your system is equipped with dual router shelves, Cisco recommends that you perform router replacements during low traffic periods.

For detailed instructions about how to replace the Cisco 7206, refer to the chapter "Installing the Cisco 7206" in the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide (Document Number DOC-7206-ICG=).

Connecting the Cables

To connect the dial shelf interconnect cables, complete the following steps:

Warning
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the router is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the router first.

Step 1 Attach one end of an interconnect cable to the port labeled "Dial Shelf Interconnect" on one of the DSC front panels. (See Figure 0-29.)

Step 2 Tighten the jackscrews on either side of the connector.

Step 3 Attach the other end of the interconnect cable to the RJ-45 port on the interconnect port adapter in one of the Cisco 7206 router shelves.

Step 4 Tighten the jackscrews on either side of the connector.

Step 5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for the other dial shelf interconnect cable.

Caution
Never disconnect a dial shelf interconnect cable while the system is operating (except when replacing a DSC or a router shelf) or you will lose all calls.

Figure 0-29: Connecting the Dial Shelf Interconnect Cables


Warning
The ports labeled "Network clock," "10BaseT," "Dial Shelf Interconnect," "Console," and "Alarms" are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Because the E1/T1 circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.

For more information about the dial shelf interconnect cable and dial shelf interconnect port adapter, refer to the document Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Dial Shelf Interconnect Port Adapter Installation and Replacement (Part Number 78-4663-xx).

Installing and Removing Flash Memory Cards

Both the router shelf and the dial shelf contain PCMCIA slots for inserting Flash memory cards. The router shelf PCMCIA slots are located on the I/O controller and are oriented horizontally; the dial shelf PCMCIA slots are located on the DSC and are oriented vertically. Except for the orientation of the slots, the installation procedures are the same for both shelves.

This section describes inserting and removing a Flash memory card in a router shelf. For procedures specific to the dial shelf, refer to the Cisco AS5800 Access Server Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide (Document Number DOC-AS5800-HICG=) that shipped with your dial shelf.


Note To avoid potential problems when inserting spare Flash memory cards in your dual router shelves, Cisco recommends that you reformat your Flash memory cards on a Cisco 7206 router shelf running Cisco IOS Release 11.3AA or later during your regularly scheduled service times. For instructions on formatting a Flash memory card refer to the Cisco 7206 Router Installation and Configuration Guide (Document Number DOC-7206-ICG=) that shipped with your system.

Installing a Flash Memory Card

The I/O controller has two PCMCIA slots for Flash memory cards: slot 0 (lower) and slot 1 (upper). Complete the following steps to insert a Flash memory card in either PCMCIA slot:

Step 1 Orient the Flash memory card so that the connector end faces the appropriate slot. (See Figure 0-22a.)

Step 2 Carefully insert the card into the slot until the card seats in the connector at the back of the slot and the eject button for the slot pops out toward you. (See Figure 0-22b.)


Note Flash memory cards do not insert all the way into the PCMCIA slots; the end of the card protrudes from the I/O controller faceplate. Do not attempt to force the card past this point.

Removing a Flash Memory Card

To remove a Flash memory card from either PCMCIA slot, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Press the ejector button on the slot. (See Figure 0-22c.)

Step 2 Grasp the card and pull it from the slot. (See Figure 0-22a.)

Step 3 Place the card in an antistatic bag.

This completes the steps for inserting and removing a Flash memory card.

This completes the router shelf and Flash memory installation procedures.


Figure 0-30: Inserting and Removing a PCMCIA Flash Memory Card


Starting the Cisco 7206

After installing your Cisco 7206 and connecting the cables, start each router as follows:

Step 1 Check for the following:

Step 2 At the rear of the router, place the power switch on the power supply in the ON (|) position. Repeat this if a second power supply is installed. The green OK LED on the power supply goes on.

Step 3 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating. If not, immediately place the power switch on the power supply in the OFF (0) position and proceed to the "Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation" section.

Step 4 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The LEDs on most of the port adapters go on and off in irregular sequence. Some may go on, go out, and go on again for a short time. On the I/O controller, the IO power OK LED comes on immediately.

Step 5 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (in a few seconds), the network processing engine begins to initialize the port adapters and the I/O controller. During this initialization, the LEDs on each port adapter behave differently (most flash on and off). The enabled LED on each port adapter goes on when initialization is completed, and the console screen displays a script and system banner similar to the following:

        Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software 
        IOS (tm) 7200 Software (C7200-J-M), Version 11.3(6.3)AA 
        Copyright (c) 1986-1998 by cisco Systems, Inc. 
        Compiled Sun 21-Oct-98 04:10 by 
        

Step 6 When you start up the Cisco 7206 for the first time, the system automatically enters the setup command facility, which determines which port adapters are installed and prompts you for configuration information for each one. On the console terminal, after the system displays the system banner and hardware configuration, you will see the following System Configuration Dialog prompt:

        --- System Configuration Dialog --- 
        At any point you may enter a questions mark '?' for help.
        Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.
        Default settings are in square brackets '[]'. Continue with configuration dialog? [yes]:

You have the option of proceeding with the setup command facility to configure the interfaces, or exiting from setup and using configuration commands to configure global (system-wide) and interface-specific parameters. You do not have to configure the interfaces immediately; however, you cannot enable the interfaces or connect them to any networks until you have configured them.

Many of the port adapter LEDs will not go on until you have configured the interfaces. To verify correct operation of each interface, complete the first-time start-up procedures and configuration, then refer to the configuration note for each port adapter for LED descriptions and to check the status of the interfaces.

Commands for Split Dial Shelf Systems

The split mode is intended to support two router shelves connected to a single dial shelf. To use this arrangement as intended, both router shelves should have split dial shelf configured. However, a second router is not required; a single router can run in split mode with all slots owned by that router.

Split Dial Shelf Configuration

Split dial shelf configuration is implemented by connecting two router shelves to a single dial shelf. You allocate the slots in the dial shelf between the two router shelves to achieve the desired configuration. The two router shelves are both configured to run in split mode by means of a new top level router configuration command:

dial-shelf split slots {slot-numbers}

where slot-numbers is a list of the dial shelf slot numbers (from 0 through 11) that the router owns, with the slot numbers separated by spaces. Slot ownership for each of the two router shelves is configured individually using the dial-shelf split slots command.

When you configure a Cisco AS5800 system to operate in split mode, it is the same as having two Cisco AS5800 systems with each having a separate set of feature boards assigned to its router; they just happen to be sharing a single dial shelf. Modem pooling, for example, is the same as if you had two separate Cisco AS5800 systems. Router shelf 1 has a modem pool that consists of all the modem cards that reside in slots owned by router shelf 1. The same situation applies to router shelf 2.

Changing to Split Mode

This section describes the procedure required to transition a router from normal mode to split mode, and changing the set of slots a router owns while it is in split mode. Since the process of switching the ownership of a slot from one router to the other is potentially disruptive (when a feature board is restarted, all calls through that card are lost), a router shelf cannot take over a slot until ownership is relinquished by the router that currently claims ownership, either by reconfiguring the router or disconnecting that router or its associated DSC.

The dial shelf is split by dividing the ownership of the feature boards between the two router shelves. You must configure the division of the dial shelf slots between the two router shelves so that each router controls an appropriate mix of trunk and modem cards. Each router shelf controls its set of feature boards as if those were the only boards present. There is no interaction between feature boards owned by one router and feature boards owned by the other router.

Split mode is entered when the dial-shelf split slots command is parsed on the router shelf. This can occur when the router is starting up and parsing the stored configuration, or when the command is entered when the router is already up. On parsing the dial-shelf split slots command, the router frees any resources associated with cards in the slots that it no longer owns, as specified by exclusion of slot numbers from the slot-numbers argument. The router should be in the same state as if the card had been removed from the slot; all calls through that card will be terminated. The configured router then informs its connected DSC that it is in split mode, and which slots it claims to own.

In split mode, a router shelf uses only half of the 1,792 available TDM timeslots. (See the "TDM Resource Allocation" section.) If a dial-shelf split slots command is entered when the total calls using timeslots exceeds the number that would normally be available to the router in split mode, the command is rejected. This should occur only when a change to split mode is attempted where the dial shelf has more than 896 calls in progress (more than half of the 1,792 available timeslots). Otherwise, a transition from normal mode to split mode can be made without disturbing the cards in the slots that remain owned, and calls going through those cards will stay up.

Transition Procedure

To transition from normal mode to split mode, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Ensure that both DSCs and both router shelves are running the same IOS image.

Having the same version of IOS running on both DSCs and both router shelves is not mandatory; however, it is a good idea. There is no automatic checking that the versions are the same.

Step 2 Schedule a time when the Cisco AS5800 can be taken out of service without unnecessarily terminating calls in progress.

The entire procedure for transitioning from normal mode to split mode should require approximately one hour if all the hardware is already installed.

Step 3 Busy out all feature boards and wait for your customers to log off.

Step 4 Reconfigure the existing router shelf to operate in split mode.

Enter the dial-shelf split slots {slot-numbers} command, specifying the slot numbers that are to be owned by the existing router shelf.

Step 5 Configure the new router shelf to operate in split mode on other feature boards.

Enter the dial-shelf split slots {slot-numbers} command, specifying the slot numbers that are to be owned by the new router shelf. Do not specify any of the slot numbers that you specified in Step 4. The range of valid slot numbers is 0 through 11.

Step 6 Install the second DSC, if it has not already been installed.

Step 7 Connect the DSIC cable from the second DSC to the new router shelf.

Step 8 Ensure that split mode is operating properly.

Enter the show dial-shelf command for each router. This command has been extended so that the response indicates that the router shelf is running in split mode and which slots the router shelf owns. The status of any cards in any owned slots is shown, just as they are in the present show dial-shelf command.

Step 9 Enable all feature boards to accept calls once again.

Changing Slot Sets

You can change the sets of slots owned by the two router shelves while they are in split mode by first removing slot(s) from the set owned by one router, then adding them to the slot set of the other router. The changed slot set information is sent to the respective DSCs, and the DSCs determine which slots have been removed and which added from the new slot set information. It should be clear that moving a slot in this manner will disconnect all calls that were going through the card in that slot.

To move a slot from one router shelf's control to the others, the router releasing the slot should be modified first by entering the dial-shelf split slots remove command, specifying the slot numbers to be released. The released slot(s) can then be added to the slot set of the other router by re-entering the dial-shelf split slots command including the new slot number(s).

The router shelf that is losing the slot frees any resources and clears any state associated with the card in the slot it is relinquishing. The DSC reconfigures its hub to ignore traffic from that slot, and if there is a card in the slot it will be reset. This ensures that the card frees up any TDM resource it might be using, and allows it to restart under control of the router shelf that is subsequently configured to own the slot.
If there are no configuration conflicts, and there is a card present in the added slot, a dial-shelf OIR insertion event is sent to the router shelf, which processes the event the same as it always does. The card in the added slot is reset by the DSC to ensure a clean state, and the card downloads its image from the router shelf that now owns it.
If the other router shelf (and the other DSC) claim ownership of the same slot, the command adding the slot should be rejected. However, should a configuration conflict exist, error messages are sent to both routers and the card is not reset until one of the other router shelves and its DSC stop claiming ownership of the slot. Normally, this will not happen until you issue a dial-shelf split slots remove command surrendering the ownership claim on the slot by one of the routers.

Leaving Split Mode

Split mode is exited when the dial shelf configuration is changed by a no dial-shelf split slots command. When the split dial shelf line is removed, the router shelf will start using all of the TDM timeslots. Feature boards that were not owned in split mode, and are not owned by the other router, will be reset. Cards in slots that are owned by the other router will be reset, but only after the other DSC has been removed or is no longer claiming the slots. The split dial shelf configuration should not be removed while the second router shelf is still connected to the dial shelf.

When a router configured in split mode fails, all calls associated with the failed router are lost. Users cannot connect back in until the failed router recovers and is available to accept new incoming calls; however, the other split mode router shelf will continue to operate normally.

Potential Problems

The system will behave as configured as soon as the configuration is changed. The exception is when there is a misconfiguration, such as one router is configured in split mode and the other router is configured in normal mode, or both routers are configured in split mode and both claim ownership of the same slot(s).

Problems can arise if one of the two routers connected to a dial shelf is not configured in split mode, or if both are configured in split mode and both claim ownership of the same slot(s). If the state of the second router is known when the dial-shelf split slots command is entered and the command would result in a conflict, the command is rejected.

If a conflict in slot ownership does arise, both routers will receive warning messages until the conflict is resolved. Any card in a slot which is claimed by both routers remains under the control of the router that claimed it first, until you can resolve the conflict by correcting the configuration of one or both routers.

It should be noted that there can also be slots that are not owned by either router (orphan slots). Cards in orphan slots cannot boot up until one of the two routers claims ownership of the slot because neither DSC will download bootstrap images to cards in unowned orphan slots.

Show Commands

In normal mode, all show commands will look and behave as they do in the current system. In split mode, most show commands will look and behave as they would in the current system if there were no cards in the slots for which the other router has configured ownership. This is consistent with the view of a split dial shelf configuration being basically two separate Cisco AS5800 systems. A router shelf cannot manage, or even know the state of, any cards in slots that it does not own. For example, DSIP console and execute-on commands work only on owned slots.

There are, however, a few exceptions:

When in split mode, the show dial-shelf output is extended as in the following example:
pinetopRS#sh dial-shelf
System is in split dial shelf mode.
Slots owned: 0 2 3 4 5 6 (connected to DSC in slot 13)

Note only the first two lines of output are new, the remaining information is exactly the same as in the existing system if there were no cards in the slots that are not owned (1 and 7 through 12).
pinetopRS#sh dial-shelf split
System is in split dial shelf mode, connected to DSC in slot 13.
Slots owned: 0 2 3 4 5 6
Non owned slots:

 8      Modem(DMM)
 9      Modem(DMM)
10      Slot Empty
11      Slot Empty
12      DSC
 
Note that the show dial-shelf split command also shows the slots and corresponding feature boards for orphan slots (those slots not owned by either router shelf). This means that OIR events on all slots in the dial shelf are detected by both DSCs and the feature boards are added to or deleted from the list of boards physically present in the dial shelf. When a feature board is inserted into an orphan slot, a message is sent to both router shelves indicating that a feature board was just inserted. This message is different than an OIR event message---OIR event processing is done only for owned slots.

Managing a Split Dial Shelf

If you are installing split dial shelf systems, a system controller is available that provides a single system view of multiple POPs. The system controller for the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server includes the Cisco 3640 router running Cisco IOS software. The system controller can be installed at a remote facility so that you can access multiple systems through a console port or Web interface.

There are no new Management Information Bases (MIBs) or MIB variables required for the split dial shelf configuration. A split dial shelf appears to Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management applications as two separate Cisco AS5800 systems. One console to manage the whole system is not supported---you must have a console session per router shelf (two console sessions) to configure each split of the Cisco AS5800. The system controller must manage a split dial shelf configuration as two separate Cisco AS5800 systems.

The normal mode configuration of the Cisco AS5800 requires the dial shelf and router shelf IDs to be different. In a split system, four unique shelf IDs are desirable; one for each router shelf and one for each of the slot sets; however, a split system will function satisfactorily if the router shelf IDs are the same. If a system controller is used to manage a split dial shelf configuration, then the two routers must have distinct shelf IDs, just as they must when each router has its own dial shelf.

You can download software configurations to any Cisco AS5800 using SNMP or a Telnet connection. The system controller also provides performance monitoring and accounting data collection and logging.

In addition to the system controller, a network management system with a graphical user interface (GUI) runs on a UNIX SPARC station and includes a database management system, polling engine, trap management, and map integration.

Configuring the Routers

To configure a router for split dial shelf operation, complete the following steps:

Step Command Description

1

Router> enable
Password: <password>
Router#

Enter the enable command.
Enter your password.
You are in privileged EXEC mode when the prompt changes to Router#.

2

Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with Ctrl-Z. Router(config)#

Enter global configuration mode by typing the configure command. The example is using the terminal configuration option.

You are in global configuration mode when the prompt changes to Router(config)#

3

Router(config)# dial-shelf 
split slots {slot_numbers}

Normal mode: This command changes the router shelf to split mode with ownership of the slots listed.

In case of conflicting slot assignments, the command is rejected and a warning message is issued. Issue a show dial-shelf split slots command to the other router shelf to display its list of owned dial shelf slots.

OIR events on all slots are detected by both DSCs and added to the list of feature boards physically present in the dial shelf; however, OIR event processing is done only for assigned slots.

Split mode: This command adds the dial shelf slot(s) listed to the router shelf's list of owned dial shelf slots.

The following additional commands have been added to support split dial shelf systems:
Level Command Description

Global

Router (config) # show dial-shelf 
split

Normal Mode: This command is invalid.

Split Mode: This command displays the slots assigned to each of the router shelves and the corresponding feature boards in `orphan' slots (slots not currently assigned to either router).

Router (config) # dial-shelf split 
slots none

Normal mode: This command puts the router shelf in split mode; however, it does not assign ownership of any dial shelf slots.

  • To prevent accidentally entering the dial-shelf split slots command, at least one valid dial shelf slot number (0-11) or the keyword none must be specified.

  • If the dial-shelf split slots command is entered in normal mode without valid slot numbers or the keyword none, the command is rejected.

Split mode: This command will change dial shelf slot ownership. The router will no longer have ownership of any dial shelf slots.

Router (config) # no dial-shelf split 
slots

Normal mode: This command has no effect. If the router shelf is in normal mode, it stays that way.

Split mode: This command changes the router shelf to normal mode if it is in split mode and the other router shelf has already relinquished control of all dial shelf slots or is switched off.

Router (config) # dial-shelf split 
slots {slot_numbers}

Normal mode: This command changes the router shelf to split mode with ownership of the slots listed. Valid slot numbers are 0 through 11.

  • In case of conflicting slot assignments, the command is rejected and a warning message is issued.

  • OIR events on all slots are detected by both DSCs and added to the list of feature boards physically present in the dial shelf; however, OIR event processing is done only for assigned slots.

Split mode: This command adds the dial shelf slot(s) listed to the router shelf's list of owned dial shelf slots. The effect of multiple commands is cumulative.

Router (config) # dial-shelf split 
slots remove {slot_numbers}

Normal mode: This command has no effect.

Split mode: This command removes the dial shelf slot(s) listed from the router shelf's list of owned dial shelf slots. The effect of multiple commands is cumulative.

If the system does not complete each of the steps in the start-up procedure, proceed to the "Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation" section for troubleshooting recommendations and procedures.

Error Messages

New error messages for various split dial shelf conditions include:


Error Message   Duplicate priority clock source configured on other router shelf.

Explanation   The configuration commands for the master clock specify the clock sources and a priority for each source. Together these commands define a prioritized list of the clock sources used to generate the master clock. This list, configured on the router shelf, is passed to and stored by the DSC providing the active clock. In the event of failure of the highest priority clock source, the DSC switches to the source with the next highest priority.

With a split dial shelf, clock sources can be configured on either of the router shelves from the slots that each shelf owns. On the dial shelf, all valid clock source configurations are known to the DSC providing the clock, including the clock source configurations on the other router/DSC.

This error condition results when a clock input on one router is configured to have the same priority as one configured on the other router. The original configuration command is not rejected; however, these error messages are issued to both routers when a duplicate priority condition is detected. The two clock inputs specified with identical priorities both go into the ordered list of clock sources, but the one received first by the DSC providing the active clock is assigned a higher priority.

Recommended Action   Reconfigure the clock sources on the two routers so that they have different priorities.


Error Message   Other router shelf is in split mode when this one is not.

Explanation   The split mode is intended to support two router shelves connected to a single dial shelf. To use this arrangement, both connected router shelves should have split dial shelf configured. Problems can arise if there are two routers connected to the dial shelf, but one router is not configured in split mode.

Recommended Action   Issue a dial-shelf split slots command to this router or a no-dial-shelf split slots command to the other router; however, there's no point in having a second router shelf unless both routers are in split mode.


Error Message   Other router shelf is not in split mode when this one is.

Explanation   The split mode is intended to support two router shelves connected to a single dial shelf. To use this arrangement, both connected router shelves should have split dial shelf configured. Problems can arise if there are two routers connected to the dial shelf, but one router is not configured in split mode.

Recommended Action   Issue a dial-shelf split slots command to the other router or a no-dial-shelf split slots command to this router; however, there's no point in having a second router shelf unless both routers are in split mode.


Error Message   Other router shelf has overlapping slot ownership specified in its split dial shelf configuration.

Explanation   Each router shelf connects to one of the DSCs in the dial shelf. The dial shelf feature boards are divided between the two router shelves. Each router controls its own set of feature boards as if those were the only boards present---there is no interaction between feature boards owned by one router and feature boards owned by the other router, or with the other router.

This error message was issued because both routers are configured in split mode, but there is an overlap in the set of slots each router claims. While the conflict in slot ownership continues, both router shelves will periodically receive this error message.

Recommended Action   Correct the configuration of one of the routers by issuing a dial-shelf split slots command with a list of slot numbers that does not include the slot that is reporting overlapping ownership. You must configure the division of the dial shelf slots between the two router shelves so that each router controls an appropriate mix of trunk and modem cards. Any card in a slot that is claimed by both routers will remain under the control of the router that claimed it first until you resolve the conflict by correcting the configuration.

Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation

Your Cisco 7206 routers went through extensive testing before leaving the factory. However, if you encounter problems starting the routers, use the information in the chapter "Troubleshooting the Installation" in the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide (Document Number DOC-7206-ICG=) to help isolate the cause of the problems. Make sure to review the safety warnings listed in the publication Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 7200 Series Routers (Part Number 78-3419-xx) that accompanied your Cisco 7206 before using troubleshooting procedures.

If you are unable to easily solve the problem, contact a customer service representative for assistance and further instructions. Be prepared to provide the representative with the following information:

Figure 0-31 shows the general troubleshooting strategy for Cisco 7206 routers. Refer to this chart, as necessary, to isolate problems to a specific subsystem; then resolve the problem if possible.

Problem Solving with Subsystems

The key to solving problems with the system is isolating the problem to a specific subsystem. The first step in solving start-up problems is to compare what the system is doing to what it should be doing. Because a start-up problem is usually caused by a single component, it is more efficient to first isolate the problem to a subsystem rather than troubleshoot each component in the system. For these troubleshooting procedures, consider the following subsystems:

You can quickly verify that your new router shelf is properly installed and operative by observing the router LEDs as described in the "Starting the Cisco 7206" section."


Figure 0-31: Troubleshooting Strategy for Start-Up Problems


Removing and Replacing the Backplane Module

The Cisco AS5800 Access Server includes a passive backplane in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf that can be ordered as a spare. This document explains how to remove and replace the backplane in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf chassis.

This section lists tools and parts you need, and explains how to remove and replace the backplane in the dial shelf chassis. In most cases, the Cisco 5814 dial shelf chassis will be fully installed to include the dial shelf controller card and feature cards. As part of the backplane removal, you must unseat all cards from the dial shelf backplane.

Warning Before completing any of the following steps, and to prevent short-circuit or shock hazards, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is off, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF (O) position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF (O) position.

Warning When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

In this section you will be instructed to perform the following actions:

    1. Power off the router shelf and the dial shelf

    2. Disconnect power and alarm cables to the PEMs

    3. Unseat the dial shelf controller card(s) and feature cards from the backplane

    4. Remove the PEMs, filter module, and dial shelf back panel

    5. Disconnect the blower assembly backplane cable

    6. Unscrew the backplane and remove it from the dial shelf


Note You need access to both front and rear of the Cisco AS5800 Access Server. Some of the procedures are performed from the front of the installation and some are performed form the rear.

Tools and Parts Required

The following parts and tools are required to remove and replace the backplane module. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information. Estimated time to remove and replace the dial shelf backplane is 30 minutes.

Removing the Backplane

The backplane cannot be removed while the system is powered on. This procedure is ideally performed during a scheduled maintenance time. If not, you must first power off the system as follows:

Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Step 1 Power OFF (O) the Cisco 7206 router shelf using the power switches located on the router shelf rear panel. (See Figure A-1.)


Figure 1-1: Router Shelf Power Switches


Step 2 Power OFF (O) the dial shelf at the power entry modules (PEMs) using the power switches located on the PEM front panels. (See Figure A-2.)


Figure 1-2: Dial Shelf Power Switches on the PEMS


Step 3 If you are using the optional AC-input power shelf, power OFF (O) the AC-input power supplies using the power switches located on the power shelf front panel. (See Figure A-3.)


Figure 1-3: AC-Input Power Shelf


Step 4 Power OFF the central office main circuit breaker.

To continue, you must next disconnect power cables and and alarm cables to the dial shelf PEMs.

Step 1 Loosen the screws in the DC-input power terminal blocks and the alarm terminal blocks using a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver, and disconnect power cables and alarm cables to the dial shelf PEMs. Figure 1-4 shows the location of the terminal blocks.


Figure 1-4: PEM Cable and Alarm Terminal Blocks


The following steps refer to the optional AC-input power shelf. If you are using a DC power source, you can skip Step 2 and Step 3.

Step 2 Disconnect the monitor cable DB-9 connector from the base of the filter module (see Figure 1-5).


Figure 1-5: Filter Module Monitor Cable DB-9 Connector


.

Step 3 Disconnect power cables to the optional AC-input power shelf. (See Figure 1-6.)


Figure 1-6: AC-input Power Shelf Cable Connections

.

After you disconnect the the cables, you must disconnect the dial shelf controller cards and feature cards from the backplane connectors. You do not need to remove the cards completely from the dial shelf chassis; however, you must disconnect incoming CE1/CT1 trunk line cables.

To disconnect the feature cards and dial shelf controller cards from the backplane, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.

Step 2 Disconnect incoming CE1/CT1 trunk line cables and secure them out of the way using cable ties, if necessary. On the dial shelf controller card, disconnect the dial shelf interconnect cable, and the 10BaseT connection, if applicable.

Warning Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages.

Step 3 Loosen the panel fasteners at the top and bottom of the card front panel using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

Step 4 Pull either the upper or lower ejector lever away from the card front panel to disengage the card from the backplane connector, as shown in Figure 1-7.


Figure 1-7: Ejector Lever Enlarged


Step 5 Grasp the ejector levers and pull the card partially out of the dial shelf slot. (See Figure 1-8.)


Figure 1-8: Removing Feature Cards and Dial Shelf Controller Cards


Return to the rear of the dial shelf and continue by removing the PEMs, the filter module, and the back cover. You also need to remove the horizontal bar that is used to attach the bottom of the back cover and the tops of the PEMs and filter module to the chassis.

Step 1 Loosen the two captive screws on each PEM front panel using a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver.

Step 2 Remove the PEMs from the dial shelf and set aside until you are ready to reinstall them. (See Figure 1-9.)


Figure 1-9: PEM Removal


Step 3 Loosen the captive screws on the filter module front panel using a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver.

Step 4 Remove the filter module from the dial shelf and set it aside until you are ready to reinstall it. (See Figure 1-10.)


Figure 1-10: Filter Module Removal


Step 5 Remove the back cover. To do this, you need to remove the screws located on the dial shelf back cover grill using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver. (See Figure 1-11) Save the screws.


Figure 1-11: Dial Shelf Chassis Back Cover

.

Step 6 Locate the horizontal bar that spans the width of the dial shelf chassis rear (see Figure 1-12), and remove the four screws (two on each side of the dial shelf outer chassis) using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver. Save the screws.

To complete the backplane removal procedure, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Disconnect the cable connection to the dial shelf blower assembly, as shown in Figure 1-12.


Figure 1-12: Blower Assembly Backplane Connector


Step 2 Remove the 26 M3 x 8 mm screws around the backplane perimeter using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver. (See Figure 1-13.) Save the screws.


Figure 1-13: Backplane Module---Rear View


Step 3 Remove the backplane and place it in an ESD shielding bag. Use the replacement backplane carton to return the faulty backplane to the factory, if necessary.

This completes the dial shelf backplane removal process. Proceed to the section "Replacing the Filter Module."

Replacing the Backplane

To replace the backplane reverse the procedures used to remove cables and components; complete the following steps. When you are finished, use a Site Log sheet to record service maintenance.

Step 1 Unpack the new backplane module (MAS-5814BP=) from the ESD shielding bag and install the backplane in the same position as the one you just removed.

Step 2 Reuse the screws used to secure the old backplane and tighten the screws using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver. (Refer to Figure 1-13.)

Step 3 Connect the cable connection to the dial shelf blower assembly. (Refer to Figure 1-12.)

Step 4 Replace the back cover; reuse the screws used to secure the back cover and tighten the screws using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver. (Refer to Figure 1-11.)

Step 5 Replace the dial shelf filter module and tighten the captive screws on the front panel using a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver. If using the AC-input power shelf, connect the monitor cable. The DB-9 connector connects to the filter module; the DB-25 connector connects to the optional AC-input power shelf. (Refer to Figure 1-5.)

Step 6 Replace the dial shelf PEMs and tighten the captive screws on the front panels using a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver; then reconnect the power cables.

Step 7 From the front of the dial shelf, reseat the dial shelf controller card(s) and the feature cards using the ejector levers and tighten the panel fasteners with a number 2 Phillips screwdriver. (Refer to Figure 1-7 and Figure 1-8.)

Step 8 Power ON the central office main power source.

Step 9 Power ON ( | ) the dial shelf using the power switches located on each PEM front panel.

Step 10 If using the optional AC-input power shelf, power ON ( | ) the power supplies using the power switches on the power shelf front panel.

Step 11 Power ON ( | ) the router shelf using the power switches located on the Cisco 7206 router shelf rear panel.

Step 12 Note service maintenance on your Site Log sheet.

This completes the backplane removal and replacement procedure. The backplane is a passive design. Specific verification and troubleshooting instructions are considered unnecessary.
