The Cisco 6160 is a member of a family of DSL products that provides end-to-end service, transporting data among subscriber homes or offices, the telephone central office (CO) facility, and the networks beyond. The Cisco DSL family includes the following products:
The Cisco 6160 (Figure 1-3, Figure 1-4, and Figure 1-5) can be operated as a carrier class DSLAM with asymmetric digital subscriber line (ASDL), symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL), and integrated services digital network (ISDN) digital subscriber line (IDSL) interfaces. The Cisco 6160 is intended for use in North American central office facilities. The chassis is designed to accept multiple types of xDSL line cards, which can be mixed in various applications. The chassis has 32 short slots for line cards and two double-length slots for NI-2 cards. The chassis is mountable in a standard 23-inch NEBS 7-foot rack.
The Cisco 6160 DSLAM provides end-to-end service by handling voice or data traffic, or both, between a subscriber home or office, a telephone central office (CO) facility, and various networks. The Cisco 6160 DSLAM concentrates all traffic onto a single high-speed WAN trunk for transport to the Internet or to the corporate intranet.
The Cisco 6160 DSLAM uses asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) technology to support up to 256 subscribers connected either directly or through a POTS splitter chassis. Filters separate voice and data signals when subscribers are connected to the DSLAM through a POTS splitter chassis. Cables connected to the POTS splitter route ADSL digital data signals to line cards in the Cisco 6160 chassis and voice signals to the CO facility switching network.
In addition to the line cards and the NI-2 card, the Cisco 6160 DSLAM accommodates a system I/O card that is installed on its backplane. The I/O card provides DS3 ports for OC-3c/2DS3 and DS3/2DS3 NI-2 configurations. The I/O card also provides a utility connector that supports remote alarm indications and network timing connections.
The second-generation network interface module (NI-2) for Cisco DSLAMs is a system processor module. The NI-2 card is available in several hardware configurations:
An NI-2 module is installed in a Cisco 6160 chassis and performs central processor, host, and system controller functions. The NI-2 runs and is controlled by Cisco IOS software. Network interfaces for DS3/2DS3 type NI-2 modules are on the I/O card at the rear of the chassis. In the case of the OC-3c/OC-3c and OC-3c/2DS3 types, the NI-2 faceplate provides the required optical network interfaces.
This section describes the line cards that will be available for the Cisco 6160 during the first release cycle. It also explains how different line cards types can be used in a single chassis.
The Flexi card supports 4 subscriber ports per card; the card can be configured for either CAP or DMT line encoding. CAP features are consistent with release 3.0, with configurable line rates up to 7188 kbps downstream and 1168 kbps upstream. DMT features autodetection of the CPE type and capabilities, compliance with ANSI T1.413 issue 2 (ATM mode), G.992.1 Annex A, G.992.2 Annex A, and configurability between G.lite and G.dmt/T1.413.
The symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) line card supports 4 subscriber ports per card, with configurable line rates up to 1168 kbps in both directions. The SDSL card uses 2B1Q line encoding and complies with the ITU G.991.1 standard.
You can install line cards of two or more different types in a single Cisco 6160 chassis. However, mixing different types of cards (Flexi ADSL, SDSL, and/or IDSL) on the same side of the chassis might result in decreased performance of the loop. Some line coding technologies may not be spectrally compatible with each other in the same binder group or cable, even if they are only together within the central office (CO). When you install different line card types in the same chassis half, overlapping frequency spectrums in the same binder can cause a negative performance impact.
To minimize potential performance degradation in the binder, install different line card types in separate halves of the chassis. For example, if you install Flexi ADSL cards on the left side of the chassis (slots 1 to 9 or 19 to 27), you should install IDSL and/or SDSL cards on the right side (slots 12 to 18 or 28 to 34). You can install IDSL and SDSL cards on the same side of the chassis because they implement the same line encoding technology (2B1Q).
For more information on spectral compatibility, refer to ANSI T1E1.4/2000-002R2, the Draft Proposed American National Standard, Spectrum Management for Loop Transmission Systems.
You can link together up to 13 Cisco 6160 chassis so that they can be served by a single network trunk port. This is called subtending. Subtending saves money by reducing the number of ports needed in the aggregator or back-haul network to which the Cisco 6160s are connected.
Subtending is accomplished through the use of WAN interfaces (in this release, OC-3c or DS3). In a subtending arrangement, each chassis is connected by a WAN interface to the chassis above it in the subtending hierarchy, or, if the chassis is at the top of the hierarchy, to the network trunk. Each chassis is connected by one or more WAN interfaces to those below it in the hierarchy.
Two subtending configurations are possible:
For each chassis in a subtended group to have fair access to the shared trunk, the chassis must have a unique ID number. The originating chassis places this ID number in the GFC field of the ATM header of each cell; this ID number is then used to forward cells up the tree to the network trunk.
The distance allowed between subtended nodes is determined by the WAN interface. The subtending feature is not intended to provide wide-area connectivity among nodes.
Subtended nodes must be managed as separate units. For details on configuring subtending, refer to the Configuration Guide for Cisco DSLAMs with NI-2.

The Cisco 6160 DSLAM consists of circuitry and connections that reside within a chassis or enclosure that allows modular insertion and removal of the various field-replaceable units (FRUs). The chassis consists of a card cage with slots for 32 line cards and one or two NI-2 (network interface) cards; a backplane; a set of connectors that serve subscriber lines with or without plain old telephone service (POTS); connectors to accommodate an I/O card; and compartments for two power modules, a blower assembly, and an air filter. The chassis is designed for ETS 600 or 23-inch rack-mounting.
Figure 1-3 shows the front view of a Cisco 6160 chassis with OC-3c/OC-3c WAN interfaces. Figure 1-4 shows a front view of a Cisco 6160 chassis with DS3/2DS3 interfaces. Figure 1-5 shows a front view of a Cisco 6160 chassis with OC-3c/2DS3 interfaces.
Tools are required for access to components in the Cisco 6160 chassis. You must use a screwdriver to remove cards, PEMs, or the blower tray from the chassis. This discourages unauthorized persons from exposing the backplane, which can contain hazardous voltages. Figure 1-6 shows a locking tab on a Cisco 6160 card. You must turn the tab with a screwdriver before you can use the extractor lever to remove the card from the chassis.
The card cage has four compartments for line cards and two slots for NI-2 cards. The slots are numbered as follows:
All Cisco 6160 line cards can be installed and removed while the rest of the system continues to operate.
The NI-2 card and line cards are described later in this chapter.
Located behind the card cage is a backplane that provides the following services:
Eleven female RJ-21 (Champ) subscriber connectors are located on the back of the chassis. These 50-pin sockets provide the DSL subscriber connections. Each subscriber connector serves three line card slots.
Each subscriber connector is equipped with a latch at one end and a screw fastener at the other end. When you disconnect a cable from a subscriber connector, lift the end of the connector with the screw fastener first; the other end of the connector then disengages easily. If you try to lift the latch end first or to pull the cable straight off the connector, it will not release.
The subscriber connectors are numbered JC1 to JC11. Table 1-3 shows how subscriber connectors correspond to card slots and ports. In the table, an asterisk (*) indicates a port that is not available on 4-port line cards.
Pin assignments for the subscriber connectors are shown in Appendix A.

| 1SC = subscriber connector. * In this release, there are 4 ports per line card. Ports 4 through 7 will be used in a future release. |
The auxiliary connectors on the back of the chassis, AUX_1 and AUX_2, are not used in this release. Do not remove the metal covers that protect the connectors.
The I/O card, shown in Figure 1-7, is located on the back of the Cisco 6160 chassis. It has a sheet-metal cover.
The I/O card provides three DS3 interfaces and a set of contacts for alarm relay and building-integrated timing source (BITS) clock circuits. Each DS3 interface consists of two vertically paired BNC connectors---one for receive, one for transmit. (The OC-3c versions of the NI-2 card have optical connectors for the trunk and subtending ports built into their faceplates, so no optical connectors are needed on the I/O card.) The alarm relay and BITS contacts are a set of 30 posts for wire wrap connections.
Refer to "Pin Assignments," for the pinout of the wire wrap connector on the I/O card.
The blower assembly and the PEMs are described in the subsections that follow.
A blower assembly is located above the card cage. The assembly houses four blowers. The blowers pull cooling air from the bottom front of the chassis and through the card cage.
An air filter is located at the bottom of the chassis. The air filter must be removed and cleaned periodically. Refer to Chapter 3, "Preventive Maintenance" for complete instructions on cleaning the air filter.
The blowers have two speeds. By default, they run at low speed. The system turns up the blower speed when
The blower speed returns to normal (low speed) when
 |
Caution The blowers must run continuously. The system might suffer thermal damage if the blowers stop for more than 5 minutes. |
A status LED is located on the blower assembly faceplate. Table 1-4 describes the LED states.
| LED Color | Blower Status |
|---|---|
Red | One or more blowers have failed. Replace the blower assembly. |
Green | The blower assembly is operating normally. |
Off | One of the following:
|
 |
Note The Fan1 and Fan2 LEDs on the NI-2 faceplate do not function in the Cisco 6160. |
A blower assembly is shown in Figure 1-8. The blower assembly weighs 10.5 lb (4.76 kg).
Each Cisco 6160 chassis is equipped with one or two -48 VDC power entry modules (PEMs), which distribute DC power within the chassis. The Cisco 6160 needs only one active PEM to operate; if two PEMs are installed, the second PEM serves as a hot backup to the first PEM.
Each PEM should be connected to a single DC power source. For full power redundancy, two PEMs must be installed, and two separate DC power sources must be connected to the chassis.
|
Warning This Cisco 6160 unit might have more than one power supply connection; all connections must be removed completely for you to completely remove power from the unit. |
DC power (-48V) enters the chassis through the terminal blocks on the rear of the chassis. Power is transmitted through the backplane to the PEMs.
The PEMs reside on the right side of the chassis, and they are installed and accessed from the front. The bottom slot holds PEM 1; the top slot holds PEM 2.
In a system with two PEMs, you can remove and replace each PEM while the system continues to operate. However, a system with a single PEM must be powered down before you remove the PEM.
A PEM is shown in Figure 1-9. Each PEM weighs 6 lb (2.72 kg).
The following fixtures are present on the front of each PEM:
To turn off a Cisco 6160 that has two PEMs, you must flip the circuit breakers on both PEMs to 0 (off).
| LED | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
Input OK | Green | -48V power is available to the chassis. |
Out Fail | Red | One or both of the following conditions exists:
Troubleshoot the PEM as described in Chapter 4, "Troubleshooting." |
The main air intake vents are located at the bottom front of the chassis, as indicated in Figure 1-10. The intake vent for each PEM is located at the bottom of the PEM's front panel. All air exhaust vents are located on the rear of the chassis at the top. Do not obstruct the intake and exhaust vents in any way.
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) jack is located on the front of the chassis on the lower left edge. (See Figure 1-3, Figure 1-4, or Figure 1-5.) Before removing any components from the chassis or installing any components, ground yourself by connecting a wrist or ankle strap to the ESD jack.
This section describes all versions of the second-generation network interface (NI-2) card. The NI-2 cards operate in the Cisco 6260, Cisco 6130, and Cisco 6160 systems.
A Cisco 6160 chassis can accommodate one or two NI-2 cards.
The OC-3c/OC-3c version of the NI-2 card provides the following:
The NI-2 is a 12.38 inch by 8.5 inch (31.45 cm by 21.59 cm) module that resides in slots 10 and 11, in the center of the Cisco 6160 chassis. The faceplate is marked NI-2-155MM-155MM (multimode version) or NI-2-155SM-155SM (single-mode version). The faceplate, shown in Figure 1-11, includes the fixtures discussed in the paragraphs that follow.
Trunk and Subtending Ports
Two dual SC connectors are recessed into the NI-2 faceplate. The upper SC connector pair is an uplink; it can serve as either a network trunk port or, in a subtending arrangement, as the subtending interface to the chassis above this one in the hierarchy. The lower SC connector pair is for subtending only; it cannot serve as a trunk port.
Console and Auxiliary Ports
The console and auxiliary ports on the NI-2 are serial EIA/TIA-232 ports with RJ-45 connectors. See Appendix A, "Pin Assignments," for pinouts.
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port on the NI-2 is a 10BaseT port with an RJ-45 connector. It connects the Cisco 6160 to its management station. See Appendix A, "Pin Assignments," for pinouts.
ACO Switch
The alarm cut-off (ACO) switch is a pushbutton located near the top of the NI-2 faceplate. Press the switch to turn off an audible alarm.
Reset Switch
The reset switch is recessed behind the faceplate to avoid accidental disturbance.
LED Indicators
The NI-2 faceplate has four sets of LEDs to indicate system, card, fan, and physical interface status. Table 1-6 tells you how to interpret the system-level LED indicators.
| LED | State | Function |
|---|---|---|
Critical Alarm | Red | Lights when a critical alarm is active. |
Major Alarm | Red | Lights when a major alarm is active. |
Minor Alarm | Amber | Lights when a minor alarm is active. |
Table 1-7 describes card-level LEDs.
| LED | State | Function |
|---|---|---|
Power | Green | The NI-2 is receiving power. |
Off | The NI-2 is not receiving power. | |
Status | Green | No internal faults or problems have been detected on the card. |
Off | The card has not booted properly or a problem was detected that prevents normal operation. | |
Active | Green | This NI-2 is operating as the active network interface in the chassis (important when redundant NI-2 is supported). |
Off | This NI-2 is not active. |
|
Note The Fan1 and Fan2 LEDs on the NI-2 faceplate do not function in the Cisco 6160. Blower problems are indicated by the LED on the blower assembly faceplate and by alarms. |
Table 1-8 describes LEDs for the Ethernet port. The LEDs are located on the Ethernet connector.
| LED | State | Indication |
|---|---|---|
ACT (Ethernet Activity) | Green | Data is running over the Ethernet interface. |
Off | Data is not running over the Ethernet interface. | |
LNK (Ethernet Link Status) | Green | The Ethernet link is operative. |
Off | The Ethernet link is inoperative. |
Two identical sets of LEDs on the NI-2 faceplate report the status of the trunk and subtending WAN interfaces. These LED sets are labeled TRNK 1 and SBTD 2. Table 1-9 maps the LED sets to the software port numbers. Table 1-10 describes the trunk and subtending interface LEDs.
| LED Set | Software Port Number |
|---|---|
TRNK 1 | ATM0/1 |

The OC-3c/2DS3 version of the second-generation network interface (NI-2) card provides the following:
The NI-2 is a 12.38 inch by 8.5 inch (31.45 cm by 21.59 cm) module that resides in slots 10 and 11, in the center of the Cisco 6160 chassis. The faceplate is marked NI-2 OC3 MM/2XDS3 (multimode version) or NI-2 OC3 SM/2XDS3 (single-mode version). The faceplate, shown in Figure 1-12, includes the fixtures discussed in the paragraphs that follow.
Trunk and Subtending Ports
One dual SC connector is recessed into the NI-2 faceplate. This SC connector pair is an uplink; it can serve as either a network trunk port or, in a subtending arrangement, as the subtending interface to the chassis above this one in the hierarchy. The DS3 subtending ports are served by BNC connectors on the I/O card on the rear of the chassis.
Console and Auxiliary Ports
The console and auxiliary ports on the NI-2 are serial EIA/TIA-232 ports with RJ-45 connectors. See Appendix A, "Pin Assignments," for pinouts.
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port on the NI-2 is a 10BaseT port with an RJ-45 connector. It connects the Cisco 6160 to its management station. See Appendix A, "Pin Assignments," for pinouts.
ACO Switch
The alarm cut-off (ACO) switch is a pushbutton located near the top of the NI-2 faceplate. Press the switch to turn off an audible alarm.
Reset Switch
The reset switch is recessed behind the faceplate to avoid accidental disturbance.
LED Indicators
The NI-2 faceplate has four sets of LEDs to indicate system, card, fan, and physical interface status. Table 1-12 tells you how to interpret the system-level LED indicators.
