Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide

Upstream Data Path

The following example describes the upstream data path.

1. A request for service is generated by a subscriber. The modem transmits the request as a series of packets to the CMTS on the upstream.

2. The cable line card receives the packets on its upstream interface and forwards them to its onboard processor.

3. The line card’s processor verifies the header check sequence (HCS), frame check sequence (FCS), and system identification number (SID), processes all fields in the DOCSIS MAC header, and then removes the header.

a. The line card examines and processes the extended headers (Request, Acknowledgement, Privacy, PHSs and Unsolicited Grand Synchronization header elements). If Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI) is used, the processor also decrypts the Privacy EH frames using the appropriate key.

b. Bandwidth requests, acknowledgment (ACK) requests, and unsolicited grant syncs are reformatted and passed to the request ring of the Cisco cable line card.

c. The DOCSIS MAC header is removed and another header is added, which includes the SID, the upstream port information, and status bits that indicate whether any errors were detected.

4. The packet is sent across the backplane to the forwarding processor (FP) or the routing processor (RP) on the PRE.

5. The PRE performs packet operations such as access list processing, classification, switching, and QoS. It is also where major routing and IOS management functions (filtering) are run.

6. The packet is moved to the correct output queue and transmitted over the backplane to the network uplink card (OC-48 DPT/POS, GigE) or another cable interface line card.

7. The output card forwards the packet to the next interface point.

Downstream Data Path

The following example describes the downstream data path.

1. Data packets from the Internet are received by the network uplink cards (OC-48 DPT/ POS, GigE).

2. The packets are forwarded to the file processor (FP) on the PRE module.

3. The FP performs MAC classification to determine the type of frame or packet to be processed.

4. The PRE performs access list filtering, policing, and marking.

5. A forwarding information base (FIB) lookup and rewrite happens.

a. The rewrite consists of a downstream header and 802.3 MAC header.

b. The downstream header contains destination primary SID, physical DS port number, PHS rule index, and some control bits and other fields.

c. The packet is policed, shaped and prepared for queueing. Queueing is based on the priority of the queue and the state of the flow bits from the card. The destination card address (port) is prepended on the header of the packet being transmitted.

6. The packet is transmitted over the backplane to the appropriate cable interface line card.

7. The cable interface line card receives the packet and forwards it to all the ASICs on the line card.

a. Each ASIC decodes the header to determine if the packet is destined for one of the downstream ports on that card. If so, the downstream header is removed and the 802.3 MAC header is saved.

b. The MAC header is processed to determine how to build the DOCSIS MAC header and what operations to perform on the packet. These might include prepending the DOCSIS MAC header, computing the HCS and FCS, performing Packet Header Suppression, and BPI encryption.

8. Once the packet is ready, it is immediately transmitted on the downstream.

DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS Data Rates and Modulation Schemes

Cisco cable interface line cards can be configured in a number of different upstream combinations based on the card used, your cable network, and the anticipated subscription and service levels. Table 1-1 lists the data rates and modulation schemes for both DOCSIS1.1 and EuroDOCSIS 1.1 standards. Table 1-2 lists the data rates and modulation schemes for DOCSIS 2.0 and EuroDOCSIS 2.0 standards. Table 1-3 lists the downstream data rates.

Cisco uBR10012 Router

The Cisco uBR10012 router is installed in a standard 19-inch equipment or telco rack. A rack-mount kit ships from the Cisco factory with each router. The rack-mount kit includes the hardware needed to mount the router in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or telco-type rack. Mounting in 23-inch equipment racks is possible with optional third-party mounting hardware.

The Cisco uBR10012 chassis is designed for front and rear access. The two AC or DC power entry modules (PEM)s, two Performance Routing Engine (PRE) modules, the LCD panel, and the fan assembly module are accessed from the front of the chassis, see Figure 1-2. The eight slots for cable interface line cards, four full-slots for network uplink line cards, and two slots for the Timing, Communication, and Control Plus (TCC+) cards, and DOCSIS Timing, Communication, and Control Plus (DTCC) cards are accessed from the rear of the chassis, see Figure 1-3.

Note If the only available power supply source is 100-120 VAC, you can use the auxiliary AC-input power shelf. The AC-input power shelf converts AC to DC power for the Cisco uBR10012 router. See “Supported External AC-Input Power Shelves” for more information.

Figure 1-1 shows the front of the Cisco uBR10012 router with the front cover installed.

Cisco uBR10012 Router Slot Numbering

Figure 1-4 shows the slot numbering for the line cards and TCC+ cards in the rear of the chassis. The Cisco uBR5X20S/U cable interface line cards are used in this Figure 1-4.

Figure 1-4 Cisco uBR10012 Chassis Slot Numbering—Rear View

Note Half-height Gigabit Ethernet (HHGE) line cards use slot 3 and slot 4 only. These cards are used with a slot splitter that subdivides the slots so that they become slots 3/0/0, 3/0/1, and slots 4/0/0, 4/0/1.

Caution If you place a slot splitter and HHGE line card in slot 1/0 or slot 2/0, these slots shut down.

---

Figure 1-5 shows the slot numbering for the Fast Ethernet interface on the active PRE module.

Figure 1-5 Cisco uBR10012 Chassis Slot Numbering—Front View

Tip The Fast Ethernet interface on the backup PRE is not used unless the primary PRE fails and the backup PRE is activated. When the backup PRE becomes the active PRE module, its Fast Ethernet interface automatically becomes the active Fast Ethernet interface at slot 0/0.

Note The Cisco uBR10012 router also has an internal Ethernet interface, Ethernet 0/0/0, which PRE processors and line cards use to transfer packets between cards. This interface is not user-configurable, although you can see the configuration and run-time information using the show interface command.

Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Statement 1040

Fan Assembly Module

The Cisco uBR10012 chassis uses a fan assembly module containing fans to supply cooling air to the chassis. The fan assembly connects to the chassis through a blind mate connector that plugs into the cable assembly and then into the chassis backplane. The fan assembly modules can be identified by the product part numbers. The fan assembly module supported on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis is:

• Fan Assembly Module (UBR10-FAN-ASSY=)
• Fan Assembly Module (UBR10012-FAN-PLUS=)

For information on installing, removing and replacing the fan assembly module, see Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Fan Assembly Module.

AC Power Entry Modules

The Cisco uBR10012 router is shipped with two AC power entry modules (AC PEMs) that provide power supply to the system. One AC PEM module is sufficient to provide power for a fully configured chassis. However, if one AC PEM module fails, the other AC PEM module automatically begins providing power to the entire chassis, without impacting the system operation.

The AC PEM modules use a standard 200–240 VAC (50 or 60 Hz) input power obtained through power receptacles on the front panel of each PEM. The two AC PEMs convert the AC power to provide filtered, redundant, and load shared DC power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. The AC PEM modules can be identified by their product part numbers.

The AC PEM modules supported on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis are:

• AC PEM Module (UBR10-PWR-AC=)
• AC PEM Module (UBR10-PWR-AC-PLUS=)

For information on installing, removing and replacing the 2400 W AC PEM module, see AC Power Entry Module for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.

For information on installing, removing, replacing the 3300 W AC PEM module, and migrating from the 2400 W AC PEM to the 3300 W AC PEM, see 3300 W AC Power Entry Module for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.

DC Power Entry Modules

The Cisco uBR10012 router is shipped with two DC power entry modules (DC PEMs) that provide power to the system. One DC PEM can provide sufficient power for a fully configured chassis. However, if one DC PEM fails, the other automatically begins providing power to the entire chassis, without impacting the system operation.

The two DC PEMs provide filtered, redundant, and load shared DC power to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. The DC PEM modules can be identified by their product part numbers.

The DC PEM modules supported on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis are:

• DC PEM Module (UBR10-PWR-DC=)
• DC PEM Module (UBR10-PWR-DC-PLUS=)

Table 4 summarizes the specifications of the DC PEM modules.

For information on installing, removing and replacing the 2400 W or the 3000 W DC PEM module, see DC Power Entry Module for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.

For information on installing, removing, replacing the 3300 W DC PEM module, and migrating from the 2400 W or the 3000 W DC PEM to the 3300 W DC PEM, see 3300 W DC Power Entry Module for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.

Supported External AC-Input Power Shelves

If 100–120 VAC is the only available power source at the facility, then use the external AC-input power shelf with the Cisco uBR10012 router The AC-input power shelf converts AC power from an external AC power supply source into DC power that is suitable for powering on the Cisco uBR10012 router.

The external power shelves supported on the Cisco uBR10012 router are:

• 2400 W AC-Input Power Shelf
• Lineage AC-DC Power Shelf

Table 1-5 lists the specifications of the external power shelves on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.

For information about the 2400 W AC-input power shelf, see the 2400 W AC-Input Power Shelf for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router at the following URL:

We recommend you use the external Lineage AC-DC power shelf in conjunction with the Cisco uBR10012 router chassis. For an overview of the Lineage AC-DC power shelf, see the “Lineage AC-DC Power Shelf” section. For information on connecting the Lineage AC-DC power shelf with the Cisco uBR10012 router, see “Connecting the External AC-input Power Shelf to the Cisco uBR10012 Router” section.

Table 1-6 lists the number of Lineage power shelves that are required to supply power to the DC PEM modules.

For information on installation, power shelf safety features, safety warnings, and troubleshooting the Lineage power shelf, see the product documentation available at http://www.lineagepower.com/.

Lineage AC-DC Power Shelf

This external AC-DC power shelf from Lineage (part number J85480S1 L30) with AC module (CP2000AC54PE) is 1-rack unit high (1.75 inch) and can be mounted on a standard 19-inch 4-post equipment rack or telco-type rack. We recommend installing the Lineage power shelf in the rack in a way that the power connections reside facing inside the rack when viewed from the front. This allows the DC output terminals of the external AC-input power shelf to be on the same side as the DC-input terminals of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.

The Lineage AC-DC power shelf has two DC power sources, four AC-input power supply sources, and J1 and J2 connectors. Each AC-input power supply module is automatically powered on when it is plugged into the wall socket. (See Figure 1-6).

Figure 1-6 Lineage AC-DC Power Shelf - Front and Rear View

All cable connections for AC-input power, DC-output power, and status signals are made from the rear of the power shelf. Each AC power supply module has an individual AC facility cord attachment. All four AC-input cords must be attached to the facility for all four AC power modules to function. Two DC-interconnect cables provide DC-output power to the DC PEM (UBR10-PWR-DC=) modules on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. (See Figure 1-7).

Note The AC-input power cables, DC-output power cables, and alarm monitor cable are supplied along with Lineage. We recommend that you use these cables for cabling the shelf to the Cisco uBR10012 router.

Figure 1-7 Rear View of the Lineage AC-DC Power Shelf with Cables

To meet compliance standards, use the DC power cables (3 m cable supplied along with Lineage power shelf), while cabling the Lineage AC-DC power shelf to the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. Ensure proper rating and fit in the chassis when connecting the cables into the input DC terminal block on the backplane of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.

To meet the Class A emission compliance requirements, ferrite beads must be used with Lineage AC-DC power shelf when used to power on the Cisco uBR10012 router. For information on ferrite beads, see “Attaching Ferrite Beads on DC Power Cables” section.

For information on connecting the Lineage power shelf see, Connecting the External AC-input Power Shelf to the Cisco uBR10012 Router.

LCD Module

The LCD module provides real-time operating status and configuration information for the chassis and line cards. The buttons below the screen provide a menu system that allows you to display different parts of the system configuration without using a terminal. Figure 1-8 shows the Cisco LCD module without the chassis front cover.

Figure 1-8 LCD Module Display Panel

Note The LCD module functions depend on the release of the Cisco IOS software running on your Cisco uBR10012 router. Refer to the release notes for the Cisco IOS release you are using, and the “$paratext>” section.

LCD Cable

The LCD ribbon cable connects the LCD module to the backplane. The folded end is connected to the LCD module. See Figure 1-9.

Figure 1-9 LCD Cable

Performance Routing Engine

There are four models of PREs, the original PRE module that was initially shipped with the Cisco uBR10012 router, the PRE1 module that began shipping with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF, the PRE2 module that is shipping with Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9)BC, and the PRE4 module that is shipping with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB.

• PRE1 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF.
• PRE2 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC.
• PRE4 functionality was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB.

You can use the CLI show version command to determine whether a PRE, PRE1, PRE2, or PRE4 module is installed in your system.

Note The PRE3 is not supported on the Cisco uBR10012 router

The PRE is a single-slot module used with the Cisco uBR10012 routers. The PRE performs all Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet routing and forwarding using an advanced parallel processing architecture called Parallel eXpress Forwarding (PXF). This process separates the control plane from the data plane. The PXF architecture supports high-performance throughput with IP services enabled on every port.

Note When replacing a PRE1 module with a PRE2 module, you must also install EMI gaskets and RF absorber material. For more information, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/ubr10012/installation/field_replaceable_units/pre2gkit.html

PRE Modules and PRE1 Modules

PRE1 modules support error checking and correction (ECC) for all onboard memory, replacing the simpler parity error algorithm of the original PRE module. A general-purpose RISC processor (262–300 MHz MIPS RISCMark RM7000) support high performance Layer 3 forwarding of traffic. The combination of a general purpose RISC processor with advanced programmable PXF network processors provides the capacity to support the aggregation of thousands of active connections in a single Cisco uBR10012 chassis when supporting IP applications such as access policy filtering, rate-based queuing, and QoS.

PRE2 Modules

PRE2 modules are designed to address Internet service provider (ISP) requirements. The PRE2 has four PFX network processors (containing 64 individual processors) with two independent 32-MB SDRAM control memories on each processor set. The PRE2 provides 6.2 Mpps of processing power and has a 500-MHz RM 7000 mips processor with integrated 16-KB data and 16-KB instruction Level 1 caches, an integrated 256-KB Level 2 cache, and a 4-MB Level 3 cache.

Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC automatically enables the following features:

• Route Processor Redundancy Plus (RPR+)
• 6.2 mpps processing power
• Software features available with PRE2 and Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC:

– EtherChannel

– TLS 802.1q

– NetFlow

PRE4 Modules

The Performance Routing Engine 4 (PRE4) is the fifth-generation Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF) packet processing and scheduling engine for the Cisco uBR10012 router.

PRE4 enhances the performance capability of the Cisco uBR10012 router to 10 Mpps by providing increased density Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and higher throughput of the 10GE SPA interface.

The PRE4 runs Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB and later releases. Benefits of the PRE4 include:

• 800-MHz dual processor
• 64 PXF network processors arranged as 8 columns and 8 rows
• 512-MB packet buffer and 128-MB control memory with error-correcting code
• 4-GB ECC-protected Route Processor (RP) memory
• 10 million packets per second (Mpps) forwarding performance through the PXF complex
• 5.6-Gbps backplane bandwidth for each full-height backplane slot
• 11.2 Gbps backplane bandwidth to each SPA interface processor (SIP)
• Maximum transmission unit (MTU) support of 9216 bytes
• An external CompactFlash Disk slot (disk0)
• A 100/1000 Megabit Ethernet interface for communication between redundant PRE4s

Note Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this document to the PRE refer to the PRE, the PRE1, the PRE2, or the PRE4 modules. The PRE is now end-of-life (EOL) and is replaced by the PRE1, PRE2, or PRE4.

Redundant PRE Modules

The PRE module supports redundant operation (two PRE modules in a Cisco uBR10012 chassis). If the primary PRE fails, the secondary PRE automatically takes over operation of the chassis. Because all Cisco uBR10012 line cards are physically connected to both the primary and secondary PRE modules, a switchover of PRE modules does not require human intervention to reset the line cards, as they automatically fail over to the redundant PRE. The PRE module is hot-swappable if there is a redundant PRE module in the chassis.

Caution You cannot use different models of the PRE in the same chassis. If you have PRE2 modules and you wish to upgrade, you must upgrade both of your PREs to the PRE4s. You cannot use a PRE1 or a PRE2 and a PRE4 in the same system.

PRE Module Description

The PRE1 contains two PC media card two slots and 64 MB of onboard flash memory. Figure 1-10 shows the PRE 1 faceplate.

Figure 1-10 PRE1 Faceplate

The PRE2 contains two PC media card slots and 128 MB of onboard flash memory. Figure 1-11 shows the PRE2 faceplate.

Figure 1-11 PRE2 Faceplate

The PRE4 contains a CompactFlash Disk slot (disk0) and 128 MB of onboard flash memory. Figure 1-12 shows the PRE4 faceplate.

Figure 1-12 PRE4 Faceplate

Connector Ports

The faceplate on the PRE contains three ports with RJ-45 connectors:

• Console port—This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port is used to connect a terminal to the PRE for local administrative access.
• Auxiliary port (AUX)—This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port is used to connect a modem to the PRE for remote administrative access.
• Fast Ethernet port—This Fast Ethernet port is used to connect the PRE to a 10/100Base-T network management LAN.

Note The Fast Ethernet interface on the PRE module is intended for network management access and should not be used for WAN connectivity purposes. For WAN connections, use the appropriate network uplink cards, which take full advantage of the system's high-performance PXF processing subsystem.

PC Media Card Slots

Two PC media card slots (one CompactFlash Disk slot for the PRE4) can store the Cisco IOS image or a system configuration file on a PC media card or CompactFlash Disk. The system can also boot from the software stored on the PC media card or CompactFlash Disk. The PC media card slots support Type I or Type II cards. See the “$paratext>” section for more information about inserting and removing PC media cards from the PRE.

LCD Screens

The two LCD screens below the PC media card slots display alphanumeric information about the status of the of the PRE module.

PRE LED Indicators and Buttons

LEDs on the faceplate of the PRE provide a visual indication of the status of PRE operation (see Figure 1-10). The LEDs are separated into three categories: alarms, status, and failure.

• ALARM—Alarm relay contacts on the Cisco uBR10012 router connect the router to a site alarm maintenance system. This allows critical, major, and minor alarms generated by the Cisco uBR10012 router to be displayed on the PRE faceplate and also translated to external visual or audible alarms connected to the system. See the “Connecting Alarm Indicators” section for more information about alarm connections. Pressing the alarm cutoff (ACO) button on the (primary) PRE during an alarm condition shuts off the external alarm, but does not deactivate the alarm LEDs on the PRE faceplate. Alarm LEDs on the faceplate are deactivated only after the condition that caused the alarm is corrected.
• STATUS—Indicates the status of the PRE.
• FAIL—Indicates that a major failure has disabled the PRE.

Table 1-7 describes the LEDs and switch on the PRE.

PRE Module Disposal

The PRE module contains a small lithium battery. Some jurisdictions restrict the ways in which you can dispose of items containing lithium batteries. In particular, never dispose of lithium batteries or products containing lithium batteries in an unregulated fire. Other restrictions might apply in your area.

Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Statement 1040.

SIP and SPA Compatibility

The Cisco uBR10012 router currently supports the following SIPs:

• Cisco Wideband SIP for the Cisco Wideband SPA

Note Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCH, the Cisco Wideband SIP is not supported on the Cisco uBR10012 router.

• Cisco 10000 Series SPA Interface Processor-600

The Cisco Wideband SIP can support up to two Cisco Wideband SPAs. The Cisco uBR10012 router can support up to eight SPAs. For more information about the introduction of support for different SIPs and SPAs, refer to the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router SIP and SPA Software Configuration Guide at the following location:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/shared_port_adapters/configuration/ubr10012/12.3_23_bc/sipsp_d3.html

Timing, Communication, and Control Plus Card

On the Cisco uBR10012 router, the Timing, Communication, and Control Plus (TCC+) card acts as a secondary processor that performs the following functions:

• Generates and distributes 10.24 MHz clock references to each of the cable interface line cards.
• Generates and distributes 32-bit time-stamp references to each of the cable interface line cards.
• Allows software to power off independently any or all of the cable interface line cards.
• Drives the LCD module used to display system configuration and status information.
• Monitors the supply power used by the chassis.
• Provides two redundant RJ-45 ports for external timing clock reference inputs such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) or building integrated timing supplies (BITS) clock.

When two TCC+ cards are installed, they are configured as active and backup (redundant). If the TCC+ card in the first slot is working at system power-up, it automatically becomes the active card and the TCC+ card in the second slot becomes the backup card. The TCC+ cards monitor each other’s priority information so that if the active card fails, the active card role is transferred to the redundant backup card without lose of data.

Figure 1-13 shows the faceplate of the TCC+ card. The handle provides for the insertion and removal of the card from the chassis.

Caution Do not attempt to lift the chassis using one of these handles.

---

Figure 1-13 TCC+ Card Faceplate

The faceplate on the TCC+ card has seven LEDs labeled POWER, STATUS, MAINT, PRESENT, and ACTIVE. Separate PRESENT and ACTIVE LEDs are associated with the primary and secondary external clock reference inputs.

For more information, see Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router TCC+ Card.

Cisco uBR-MC5X20S/U/H Cable Interface Card

The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S, U and H cable interface line cards are 20 by 16 inch cards designed specifically for the Cisco uBR10012 router. These cards transmit and receive RF signals between the subscriber and the headend over hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) system.

Upstream data, from the subscriber, comes through the upstream ports (US0-US19) on the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U/H cable interface line card. The line card processes and configures the data and sends it across the backplane to the WAN/backhaul card and out to the Internet.

Downstream data, to the subscriber, comes from the Internet through the WAN/backhaul card, and across the backplane to the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U/H cable interface line card. The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U/H card processes and configures the data and sends it out through the appropriate downstream port (DS0-DS4) to be combined with the rest of the downstream signals in the headend.

The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U line cards use burst receivers that report unequalized Modulation Error Ratio (MER). The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20H line cards use burst receivers that report equalized MER. Equalized MER will almost always be at least a few decibels (dB) higher than an unequalized MER measurement of the same signal under identical conditions.

The single-port Gigabit Ethernet (GE) line card provides a trunk uplink to devices such as GSRs, as well as connections to content servers and Web caches. The GE line card provides the Cisco uBR10012 router with an IEEE 802.3z compliant Ethernet interface running at 1 Gbps in full duplex mode.

The port uses a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) that supports Gigabit Ethernet rates on a variety of Gigabit Ethernet interface types (SX, LX/LH, ZX) which can be changed or upgraded at any time (see Table 1-9 ). The Cisco uBR10012 router supports multiple GE line cards to support connectivity to multiple destinations and to provide network layer redundancy.

For more information, see Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML/SMI DPT Adapter Card for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router.

Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 DPT/POS Interface Module

The Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 dynamic packet transport (DPT) and packet-over-SONET interface module is a full-height line card for the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. This card provides trunk uplink capabilities that support up to 1.4 Gbps full duplex throughput over a standard SONET/ITU-T Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) interface, using a single mode fiber with SC connectors.

Two versions of the Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 DPT/POS interface module are available— short reach (SR) or long reach (LR). Both versions work with the performance routing engine (PRE).

The Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 DPT/POS interface module provides a point-to-point connection to a backbone router and encapsulates IP Packets with byte-wise HDLC framing, placing them directly into the OC-48 SONET (or SDH) payload.

The Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 DPT/POS interface module is a standard implementation of packet over SONET switching, and supports the following features:

• OC-48 bandwidth between the line card and the PRE.
• North American (SONET) and European (SDH) formats
• Automatic protection switching (APS)
• Alarm processing

Note Two Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 DPT/POS interface modules are required when using the card when using the card in DPT mode in a Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router.

For more information, see Cisco uBR10012 OC-48 DPT/POS Interface Module.
