devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Chapter 1 Product Overview
Introduction
Introduction
A typical RAN is composed of thousands of Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs)/Node Bs, hundreds of
Base Station Controllers/Radio Network Controllers (BSCs/RNCs), and several Mobile Switching
Centers (MSCs). The BTSs/Node Bs and BSCs/RNCs are often separated by large geographic distances,
with the BTSs/Node Bs located in cell sites uniformly distributed throughout a region, and the BSCs,
RNCs, and MSCs located at suitably chosen Central Offices (COs) and/or Mobile Telephone Switching
Offices (MTSOs). The traffic generated by a BTS/Node B is transported to the corresponding BSC/RNC
across a network, referred to as the backhaul network, which is often a hub-and-spoke topology with
hundreds of BTSs/Node Bs connected to a given BSC/RNC by point-to-point TDM trunks. These TDM
trunks may be leased line T1/E1s or their logical equivalents, such as microwave links or satellite
channels. The interface between the BTS and BSC in GSM and CDMA systems is called the Abis
interface. The interface between the Node B and RNC in a UMTS system is called the Iub interface.
RAN Optimization Implementation

In RAN Optimization (RAN-O), the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router extends IP connectivity to the cell
site and base transceiver station (BTS). The router provides bandwidth-efficient IP transport of GSM and
UMTS voice and data bearer traffic, as well as maintenance, control, and signaling traffic, over the
leased line backhaul network between the BTS and leased line termination and aggregation node via
compression (including Abis Optimization over IP, Iub Optimization over IP, and cRTP/cUDP) and packet
multiplexing (Multilink PPP).
Figure 1-1 shows an example of the placement of and connections for the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A
router in a RAN.

Node-B MWR 1941 BTS router pair
The BTS site consists of a pair of Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A routers. The pair of routers provides an active
router and a standby router for redundancy. A failure of the active router causes the standby router to
take over as the active router for the BTS site.
Each pair of Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A routers at the BTS site is identical in hardware configuration. The
two routers connect to each other through the Fast Ethernet interfaces. The individual backhaul links to
a Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router are cabled from a single T1/E1 termination block in the BTS,
connecting to both the active and standby routers by means of a Y cable. The redundancy design to
control the active/standby transitions of the router pair leverages Hot-Standby Router Protocol (HSRP)
to control the relays on the VWIC-2T1/E1-RAN (for more information, see Cisco 2-port T1/E1 RAN
Optimization VWIC Installation Instructions) in each router to ensure that the relays on the active router
are closed while the relays on the standby router are open, thus avoiding double termination of the T1
(or E1).

Introduction
Cisco Abis and Iub Optimization over IP Implementation

One solution that mobile wireless operator’s find of value is Cisco’s ability to optimize RAN backhaul
efficiency (see Figure 1-2). For example, Cisco’s GSM Abis Optimization solution increases the T1/E1
bandwidth efficiency by as much as 50%. This means the current traffic loads can be carried using half
as many T1/E1 trunks as are presently used. This allows more voice and data calls to be carried over the
existing RAN backhaul network, eliminating the need for the operator to add expensive new T1/E1
trunks as traffic demands grow. It will also allow a number of existing trunks to be decommissioned,
putting an end to their recurring costs.
Another equally important benefit is that substantial excess capacity is now available in the existing
RAN backhaul network. The operator can reallocate this recovered bandwidth to carry traffic from other
radios, such as UMTS Node Bs, GPRS, EDGE, 1xEV-DO, PWLANs, and other data overlays. This
capability reduces the deployment and operating costs for new technologies, since the operator avoids
the up-front and recurring costs of supplementing backhaul capacity. It also accelerates time to revenue
from deployments of new radio technologies since there is no need for the operator to wait for additional
microwave licenses or leased lines to be supplied.
Compliance with 3GPP2 and 3GPP R5 and R6 transport standards is another appealing aspect of Cisco’s
RAN Optimization solution. Cisco converts today’s CDMA transport networks into 3GPP2-compliant
IP RAN transport networks, and GSM and R4/R99 UMTS transport networks into R5/R6 IP RAN
transport networks now—and adds multi-radio backhaul compression as well. This means operators can
enjoy the benefits of IP transport in their CDMA, GSM, and R4/R99 UMTS RANs today.

Introduction
Cisco GSM Abis Optimization over IP

The Cisco GSM Abis Optimization over IP technology improves T1/E1 bandwidth efficiency by 33% to
50%, corresponding to a GSM voice call capacity gain of 50-100% per T1/E1, depending on the nature
of the traffic on the Abis interface.
In a GSM RAN, the interface between the BTS and BSC is a 3GPP reference interface called the Abis
interface. The physical trunk connecting a BTS and BSC is typically a T1 or E1 circuit, and carries 24
(T1) or 32 (E1) separate 64 kbps DS0 channels. One or two of these DS0 channels is used to carry control
and signaling traffic, while the remainder is used to carry bearer traffic—voice and data from mobile
users. Each DS0 bearer channel carries up to four sub-multiplexed 16 kbps channels, termed sub-rate
DS0s. The voice and data bearer traffic is carried over the sub-rate DS0s in transcoder and rate adaptor
(TRAU) frames in accordance with 3GPP TS 08.60 v8.2.1, “In-band control of transcoders and rate adaptors
for Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) and full rate traffic channels.” There are several types of TRAU frames:
full-rate (FR) or enhanced full-rate (EFR) GSM vocoder frames; adaptive multi-rate (AMR) vocoder
frames; silent speech frames; and OAM frames. When a sub-rate DS0 is assigned to a call, TRAU frames
are generated in accordance with 3GPP TS 08.60 v8.2.1, “In-band control of transcoders and rate adaptors
for Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) and full rate traffic channels.” When a sub-rate DS0 is idle, that is, not
assigned to a call, a repeating idle pattern is transmitted in accordance with 3GPP TS 08.54 v8.0.1, “Base
Station Controller-Base Transceiver Station (BSC-BTS) interface; Layer 1 structure of physical circuits.”
The transcoder and rate adaptation control function that specifies the TRAU frames provides several
opportunities to optimize the Abis interface, and thus optimize the backhaul bandwidth efficiency. For
example, when Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) is employed over the air interface, the TRAU frames
that are transported on the Abis interface contain standardized redundant bit patterns, known as idle
(silent) speech frames (FR and EFR) or “no data” frames (AMR), whenever a voice user is silent
(typically 40-60% of the time). As another example, bearer channels that are not assigned to calls each
carry known idle bit patterns on the Abis interface as mentioned previously. Thus, even though no radio
transmissions are made during silent and idle periods, redundant information is nevertheless transported
across the backhaul network thereby unnecessarily consuming precious bandwidth.
Cisco Iub Optimization over IP

The Cisco Iub Optimization over IP technology for R4/R99 (ATM) UMTS RANs improves bandwidth
efficiency by as much as 15% to 40%, corresponding to a UMTS voice call capacity gain of 18% to 67%,
depending on the type of Iub header and ATM Adaptation Layer traffic sub-cell multiplexing
performance. For R5/R6 IP UMTS RANs, Cisco provides compression and low-overhead encryption.
Intelligent Cell Site IP Services

Cisco’s RAN-O solutions also open up the possibility to deliver new profit-enhancing services. This is
achieved through the rich set of IP networking features supported in Cisco IOS Software that are now
extended to the cell site (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-5).
Cell Site Points-of-Presence (POPs)

Since many cell sites are located in and around downtown areas, hotels, airports, and convention centers,
they make attractive sites for colocating public wireless WAN (PWLAN) access points and other
wireless data overlays. Many of these wireless data radios are IP-based. IP networking features, like
Mobile IP, VoIP, IP Multicast, VPN, and content caching, enable delivery of new revenue-generating
services over these radios. Cisco also provides a wide range of low-latency IP-based QoS and traffic
shaping models to allow flexible mixing of multiple traffic types across the same backhaul network.
1-4 OL-7872-04
Introduction
Thus, the cell site becomes a physical Point-of-Presence or POP from which to offer hotspot services,
or voice and wired ISP services to nearby enterprises and residences. The corresponding traffic “rides
for free” on the spare backhaul bandwidth made available by Cisco’s Abis and Iub Optimization
solutions.

Advance Integration Module for ATM

The 2-port T1/E1-RAN Optimization (VWIC-T1/EI-RAN) interface card provides redundancy support
where the incoming bit stream is forwarded to a built-in (fixed) high performance advanced integration
module for ATM (AIM-ATM or AIM-ATM-8) daughter card located on the motherboard of the
Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router.
The AIM for ATM cards perform framing and enhanced ATM segmentation and reassembly (SAR). This
functionality includes normal SAR functions for ATM Adaptation Layer traffic as well as indications for
resource management (RM) and operation and maintenance (OAM) cells. The AIM for ATM card then
interrupts the CPU with reassembled ATM Adaptation Layer traffic packets for backhaul.
The AIM-ATM card supports up to four independent ATM links, or two Inverse Mutiplexing over
ATM (IMA) groups. The AIM-ATM-8 card supports up to eight independent ATM links, or four IMA
groups.
To determine which AIM is installed in your Cisco MWR-1941-DC-A router, use the show diagnostics
command in privileged EXEC mode.
Fixed Interfaces
The Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router has two fixed LAN ports for 10/100Base-T Ethernet attachment.
The ports are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 and 802.3U standards. The ports integrate the MAC
functions and a dual-speed media-dependent interface (MDI). Both ports can operate in half- or
full-duplex mode and can run independently of one another. For each Fast Ethernet (FE) interface, there
are two green LEDs, one for Link Integrity and one for Link Activity (for LED information, see
Table 1-2 on page 1-9).

Cisco Network Modules
Interface Cards
The Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router supports the following interface cards:
• 2-port T1/E1-RAN Optimization Interface Card: VWIC-2T1/E1-RAN for GSM and UMTS T1/E1
and IP Backhaul T1/E1
VWIC-2T1/E1-RAN
The 2-port T1/E1-RAN Optimization (VWIC-T1/EI-RAN) interface card supports GSM, UMTS, and IP
Backhaul T1/E1. For UMTS, the RAN sends T1/E1 Iub ATM calls to the AIM for ATM SAR functions
for ATM Adaptation Layer traffic for processing.
These cards are dual-port, T1/fractional T1 or E1/fractional E1, drop and insert multiplexers with
integrated T1 CSU/DSUs or E1 DSUs. Each port can be used as a either a T1 or an E1 interface.
The VWIC-2T1/E1-RAN will allow you to compress, multiplex, and optimize your GSM-Abis radio
traffic transmission across T1/E1 WAN connections used for backhaul between the cell site BTS and the
BSC.
The Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router provides three VWIC interface slots.
Additionally, by inserting an NM-2W network interface module into the network interface slot of the
Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router, you can add two more VWIC-2T1/EI-RAN cards.

Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A Router Interface Numbering

Each network interface on a Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router is identified by a slot number and a port
number. Figure 1-6 shows an example of the interface numbering on a Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router.
Slot and Port Numbering

The Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router chassis contains the following LAN and WAN interface types:
• Two built-in Fast Ethernet LAN interfaces (labeled FE0 and FE1)
• Three slots for installing 2-port T1/E1-RANs (labeled W0, W1, and W2)
• One slot for installing a network module
The logical slot numbers are as follows:
• 0 for all built-in interfaces
• 0 for all built-in 2-port T1/E1-RAN slots
• 1 for the network module slot

Regulatory Compliance
• The two built-in Ethernet 10/100 interfaces are Fast Ethernet 0/0 and Fast Ethernet 0/1.
• The logical slot number for all 2-port T1/E1-RAN interfaces in the built-in 2-port T1/E1-RAN slot
is always 0. (The W0, W1, and W2 slot designations are for physical slot identification only.)
Interfaces in the 2-port T1/E1-RANs are numbered from right to left, starting with logical 0/0 for
each interface type, regardless of the physical slot in which the 2-port T1/E1-RANs are installed.
For example, if you have a 2-port T1/E1-RAN in two of the 2-port T1/E1-RAN slots (physical W0
and W1), then the logical interfaces are:
– Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1 in physical slot W0
– Serial 0/2 and Serial 0/3 in physical slot W1
However, if you install a 2-port T1/E1-RAN in physical slot W1 (leaving slot W0 empty), the logical
interfaces in slot W1 are Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1. If you later add a 2-port T1/E1-RAN to slot W0,
the interface numbering shifts. The configuration that you created for logical interfaces Serial 0/0
and Serial 0/1 will now be applied to the 2-port T1/E1-RAN in physical slot W0, and you will need
to create a new configuration for the logical interfaces that you previously configured on W1 (which
will now be Serial 0/2 and Serial 0/3).
• The slot number of WIC/VWIC interfaces installed in slot 1 using a WAN network module is always
1, and the interfaces are always numbered from the right to left.
• The logical slot number for all network module interfaces is always 1, and the interfaces are always
numbered from right to left, starting with 1/0.

OL-7872-04 2-3
Before You Begin
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can occur
when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent
failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:
• Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to
an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To
guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
• If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.
Caution For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic wrist strap. It
should be between 1 and 10 Mohm.
Before You Begin

Before installing the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router, it is important to prepare for installation by:
• Preparing the site (site planning) and reviewing the installation plans or method of procedures
(MOPs)
• Unpacking and inspecting the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router
• Gathering tools and test equipment required to properly install the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router
Site Planning
Typically, you should have prepared the installation site beforehand. As part of your preparation, obtain
a floor plan of the site and the equipment rack where the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router will be housed.
Determine the location of any existing routers and their interconnections, including communications and
power. Following the air flow guidelines (see the “Air Flow Guidelines” section on page 2-5) ensures
that adequate cooling air is provided to the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router.
All personnel involved in the installation of the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router including installers,
engineers, and supervisors should participate in the preparation of a MOP for approval by the customer.
Power Supply Considerations

Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving “clean” power (free of spikes and noise).
Install a power conditioner if necessary (see the “Power Supply” section on page 1-12 for power
requirements).
Warning This equipment has been designed for connection to TN and IT power systems. Statement 16
2-4 OL-7872-04
Site Planning
Site Environment
The Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router is installed in an equipment rack. The location of your router and
the layout of your equipment rack or wiring room are extremely important considerations for proper
operation. Equipment placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can
cause malfunctions and shutdowns, and can make maintenance difficult. Plan for access to front and rear
panels of the router.
The following precautions will help you plan an acceptable operating environment for your router and
will help you avoid environmentally caused equipment failures:
• Ensure that the room where your router operates has adequate circulation. Electrical equipment
generates heat. Without adequate circulation, ambient air temperature may not cool equipment to
acceptable operating temperatures (see the “Air Flow Guidelines” on this page).
• Always follow ESD-prevention procedures described in the “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Damage” section on page 2-4 to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can
cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
Air Flow Guidelines

To ensure adequate air flow through the equipment rack, it is recommended that you maintain a clearance
of at least 6 inches (15.24 cm) in the front and the rear of the rack at all times.
If airflow through the equipment rack and the routers that occupy it is blocked or restricted, or if the
ambient air being drawn into the rack is too warm, an overtemperature condition within the rack and the
routers that occupy it can occur.
The site should also be as dust-free as possible. Dust tends to clog the router fans, reducing the flow of
cooling air through the equipment rack and the routers that occupy it. Thus, increasing the risk of an
overtemperature condition.
Additionally, the following guidelines will help you plan your equipment rack configuration:
• Mount the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router in a 19-inch rack (with a 17.5- or 17.75-inch opening).
• Beside air flow, you must allow clearance around the rack for maintenance.
• Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each
router generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.
Heat that is generated by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake
ports of the equipment above.
• When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the front left
and right front intakes or the rear exhaust fans.
• When rack-installed equipment fails, especially equipment in an enclosed rack, try operating the
equipment by itself, if possible. Power off other equipment in the rack (and in adjacent racks) to give
the router a maximum of cooling air and clean power.

Creating a Site Log

The Site Log (see Appendix C, “Site Log” for a sample Site Log) provides a record of all actions related
to installing and maintaining the router. Keep it in an accessible place near the chassis so that anyone
who performs tasks has access to it. Use the Installation Checklist (see the previous section, “Installation
Checklist”) to verify the steps in the installation and maintenance of your router. Site Log entries might
include the following:
• Installation progress—Make a copy of the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router Installation Checklist,
and insert it into the Site Log. Make entries as you complete each task.
• Upgrade, removal, and maintenance procedures—Use the Site Log as a record of ongoing router
maintenance and expansion history. Each time a task is performed on the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A
router, update the Site Log to reflect the following:
– Installation of network modules (NM-2W)
– Removal or replacement of network modules and other upgrades
– Installation of 2-port T1/E1-RAN interface cards
– Removal or replacement of 2-port T1/E1-RAN interface cards

– Maintenance schedules and requirements
– Maintenance procedures performed
– Intermittent problems
– Comments and notes

The router includes an asynchronous serial console port and an auxiliary port which provide access to
the router either locally (using a console terminal), or remotely (using a modem connected to the
auxiliary port). This section describes important cabling information to consider before connecting a
console terminal—either an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software—to the
console port or connecting a modem to the auxiliary port.
The main difference between the console port and the auxiliary port is that the auxiliary port supports
hardware flow control and the console port does not. Flow control paces the transmission of data
between a sending device and a receiving device. Flow control ensures that the receiving device can
process all the data sent to it before the sending device sends more data. When the buffers on the
receiving device are full, a message is sent to the sending device to suspend transmission until the data
in the buffers has been processed. Because the auxiliary port supports flow control, it is suited for use
with the high-speed transmissions of a modem. Console terminals transmit at slower speeds than
modems; therefore, the console port is suited for use with console terminals.
Note Console and rollover cables are not included with the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router. You can order the
console cable from Cisco Systems (part number ACS-1900ASYN=). You must supply your own rollover
cable.
OL-7872-04 2-9
Console Port Connections

The router includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Depending on the cable
and the adapter used, this port will appear as a data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications
equipment (DCE) device at the end of the cable.
To connect an ASCII terminal to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female
RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled TERMINAL). To connect a PC running terminal emulation software
to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled
TERMINAL). The default parameters for the console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2
stop bits. The console port does not support hardware flow control. For instructions on installing a
console terminal, see the “Connecting the Console (Terminal) and Auxiliary (Modem) Ports” section on
page 3-8.
For cable and port pinouts, see the online document Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications.
This document is provided on the Documentation DVD that accompanied your router, and is also
available online at Cisco.com.
Auxiliary Port Connections

The router includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial auxiliary port (RJ-45) that supports flow
control. Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port will appear as either a DTE or DCE
device at the end of the cable.
To connect a modem to the auxiliary port, use an RJ-45 rollover cable with the male RJ-45-to-DB-25
adapter (labeled MODEM). For instructions on connecting devices to the auxiliary port, see the
“Connecting the Console (Terminal) and Auxiliary (Modem) Ports” section on page 3-8.

Network Modules and Interface Cards
Network Modules and Interface Cards

Cisco routers are normally shipped with the NM-2W network modules and the 2-port T1/E1-RAN
interface card already installed. If you need to remove or install any of these items, refer to the applicable
documents online.
For the NM-2W network modules:
• Quick Start Guide: Network Modules for Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, Cisco 3700 Series,
and Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A Routers
• Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide
For the Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN interface card:
• Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN Optimization Installation Instructions
Note If NM-2W or Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN interface card needs to be removed or installed, we recommend
that you perform the installation or removal before you install the chassis.
If the required NM-2W network module or Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN interface card is already installed,
proceed to the next section “Mounting the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A Router”.
Mounting the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A Router

Each Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router has rack-mounting brackets installed at the factory. If your router
did not come with the rack-mounting brackets installed, the rack-mounting bracket kit may have been
separately packaged with your router (see the “Required Tools and Equipment” section on page 2-7 for
a description of the packaged hardware. You can only front (flush) mount the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A
router in a 19-inch (48.3-cm) equipment rack that conforms to the EIA-310-D specification (the inside
width of the rack should be 17.72 to 17.80 inches [45 to 45.21 cm]). Mount the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A
router to the brackets as described in the “Attaching the Rack-Mounting Brackets” section on page 3-3.
The rack-mounting brackets are slotted to allow the router to be mounted in racks with EIA 1.25-inch
(3.81-cm) or WECO 1.0-inch (2.54-cm) hole spacing. When installed in the rack, the
Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router requires one EIA 1.75-inch (4.4-cm) vertical mounting space (or 1 rack
unit [RU]) for mounting (see the “Mounting the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A Router in a Rack” section on
page 3-4).
Caution Clearance in the front and rear of the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router must be allowed for cooling air to
be drawn in through the left and right front sides and circulated through the chassis and out the four fan
exhaust ports mounted on the rear of the chassis.
3-2 OL-7872-04
Rack-Mounting Configuration Guidelines

The following information will help you plan your equipment rack configuration:
• When mounting the router to an equipment rack, ensure that the rack is bolted to the floor.
• Since you will probably be installing more than one router into the rack, ensure that the weight of
all the routers installed does not make the rack unstable.
Caution Some equipment racks are also secured to ceiling brackets, if necessary, due to the weight of the
equipment in the rack. Make sure that the rack you are using to install the routers is secured to the
building structure.
• As mentioned in the “Air Flow Guidelines” section on page 2-5, maintain a 6-inch (15.2-cm)
clearance at the front and rear of the router to ensure adequate air intake and exhaust.
• Avoid installing the routers in an overly congested rack. Air flowing to or from other routers in the
rack might interfere with the normal flow of cooling air through the routers, increasing the potential
for overtemperature conditions within the routers.
• Allow at least 19 inches (48.7 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the rack for router
maintenance.
• Follow your local practices for cable management. Ensure that cables to and from the routers do not
impede access to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.
Attaching the Rack-Mounting Brackets

You rack-mount a Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router with the front of the chassis facing forward. The
rack-mounting brackets and six #8-32 x 0.37-inch screws are provided in a rack-mounting bracket kit
(Cisco part number 69-0791-01). Use a Number 2 Phillips screwdriver to install the rack-mounting
bracket screws.
Perform the following procedure to mount the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router to the rack-mounting
brackets for a 19-inch (48.3-cm) equipment rack.
Step 1 Locate the mounting holes of the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router for the mounting (see Figure 3-1).
Step 2 Align the rack-mounting bracket with the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router and position with the three
#8-32 x 0.37-inch screws (provided).
Step 3 Insert the screws (three places) and tighten using a Number 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Step 4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the other rack-mounting bracket.
Step 5 You are now ready to install the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router into the equipment rack.

Proceed to the next section, “Mounting the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A Router in a Rack” to continue the
installation.
Mounting the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A Router in a Rack

Typically, the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router mounts to a 19-inch (48.3-cm) two-post equipment rack
with rack-mounting brackets that attach to the front sides of the router. The inside width between the two
posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.5 inches (44.45 cm), see “Hardware
Description” section on page 1-6 for information about the equipment rack.
Even though the inlet and exhaust ports for cooling air are located on the left and right front sides and
on the rear of the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router, respectively, it is recommended that multiple routers
be stacked in a rack with at least a 1-inch (2.54-cm) vertical clearance. This is due to the location of the
AIM for ATM daughter card in the router and the tendency of the power cables to press on the location
of the AIM for ATM card when installed.
To secure the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router to the equipment rack, you must use the four mounting
screws (provided) for each side or follow your local practices for installing the router into your
equipment rack. Ensure that the rack-mount brackets have been securely fastened (see the “Attaching the
Rack-Mounting Brackets” section on page 3-3 for more information.
To mount the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router into the equipment rack, perform the following procedure.
Caution To prevent injury, review the “Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-2 and the “Rack-Mounting
Configuration Guidelines” section on page 3-3 before installing the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router in
the equipment rack.
Step 1 Locate the equipment rack position you plan to install the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router into.
Step 2 Verify that there are no obstructions and ensure that the equipment rack is stabilized.
Step 3 Position the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router in the equipment rack lining up the bracket holes on the
router with the holes on the rack and secure with four #12-24 x 0.37-inch mounting screws (each side).
3-4 OL-7872-04
Connecting the Chassis Ground and Power
Note The vertical spacing for EIA equipment racks is 1.75 inches (4.44 cm), with mounting holes
spaced 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) apart. Vertical spacing for WECO racks is 2.0 inches (5.08 cm), with
mounting holes spaced 1.0 inch (2.54 cm) apart.
Step 4 Tighten the screws using a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver (each side).
Proceed to the next section, “Connecting the Chassis Ground and Power”, to continue the installation.

Before you connect power or turn on power to the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router, you must provide an
adequate chassis ground (earth) connection to your router.

Connecting Cables
This section describes how to connect your Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router to external devices and
networks. It includes the following sections:
• Connecting the Console (Terminal) and Auxiliary (Modem) Ports, page 3-8
• Connecting the Network Cables, page 3-10
Connecting the Console (Terminal) and Auxiliary (Modem) Ports
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Statement 1001
Your Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router has a DCE-mode console port for connecting a console terminal,
and a DTE-mode auxiliary port for connecting a modem or other DCE device (such as, a CSU/DSU or
other router) to your router.
Note Both the console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports
must be cabled for asynchronous transmission. (Asynchronous is the most common type of serial device;
for example, most modems are asynchronous devices.)
The Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and console port.
3-8 OL-7872-04
Connecting Cables
Cisco provides the following cables and adapters for connecting your Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router to
a console terminal, PC, or modem:
• One console adapter cable (RJ-45-to-DB-9, blue)
• One modem adapter cable (RJ-45-to-DB-25, black)
Types of RJ-45 Cables

Cisco products use the following three types of RJ-45 cables:
• Straight-through
• Crossover
• Rolled (or Rollover)
Your Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router ships with and uses the rollover cable (see the next section
“Identifying a Rollover Cable” for a detailed description of how to identify a rollover cable).
Identifying a Rollover Cable
Use a rollover cable to connect to the asynchronous serial console and auxiliary ports. You can identify
a rollover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Holding the cables side-by-side, with
the tab at the rear, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color
as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug (see Figure 3-5 on page 3-9). If your
cable came from Cisco, pin 1 will be white on one connector, and pin 8 will be white on the other (a
rollover cable reverses pins 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5).

Connecting Cables
Console Port
Follow these steps to connect a terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port
on the router:
Step 1 Connect the terminal using an RJ-45 rollover cable and an RJ-45-to-DB-25 or RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter
(labeled TERMINAL) to the console port. For cable pinouts, see the “Console Port Signals and Pinouts”
section on page B-2.
Note The RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (Cisco part number 29-0810-01) can be purchased from Cisco
Systems.
Step 2 Configure your terminal or terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop
bits.
Note Because hardware flow control is not possible on the console port, we do not recommend
connecting modems to the console port. Modems should always be connected to the auxiliary
port.
Auxiliary Port
Follow these steps to connect a modem to the auxiliary port on the router:
Step 1 Connect a modem to the auxiliary port using an RJ-45 rollover cable with an RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter.
The provided adapter is labeled MODEM. For cable pinouts, see the “Auxiliary Port Signals and
Pinouts” section on page B-3 of this guide or the online publication Cisco Modular Access Router Cable
Specifications available on the Documentation DVD and online at Cisco.com.
Step 2 Make sure that your modem and the router auxiliary port are configured for the same transmission speed
(a speed of sup to 115200 bps is supported) and hardware flow control with Data Carrier Detect (DCD)
and Data Terminal Ready (DTR) operation.

(UTP) cables. Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 UTP cables; these cables are available
commercially.
Follow these steps to connect the cable to the router Fast Ethernet (FE) port:
Step 1 Confirm that the router is turned off.

Step 2 Connect one end of the cable to the FE port on the router.
Step 3 Connect the other end to the BTS patch or demarcation panel at your site.
Figure 3-6 shows the RJ-45 port and connector.

Connecting the Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN (VWIC-2T1/E1-RAN) Interface Cables

How you connect the ports of Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN depends on whether you are using the router in
a redundant or non-redundant configuration.
For redundant configurations, use a Y-cable (see the “Y-Cable Specifications” section on page 3-13).
Note You must configure HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) and the Y-cable mode for redundancy to
allow one router to become active (CD LED on, AL LED off) and the other to become the standby
router (CD LED off, AL LED on due to no framing). For more information, refer to the
Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A Mobile Wireless Edge Router Software Configuration Guide.
Step 1 Confirm that both routers are turned off by ensuring that the circuit breaker on the panel board is in the
OFF position with the handle taped in the OFF position.
OL-7872-04 3-11
Connecting Cables
Step 2 Connect the end of one of the Y-cable stubs to the T1 or E1(RJ-48C) port on the Cisco 2-port
T1/E1-RAN on the first router.
Step 3 Connect the end of the other Y-cable stub to the T1 or E1 (RJ-48C) port (using the same type of port as
in step 2) on the 2-port T1/E1-RAN in the second router.
Step 4 Connect the other end of the Y-cable to the BTS patch or demarcation panel at your site.
Step 5 Remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of
the circuit breaker to the ON position.
Step 6 Check that the CD LEDs go on, which means that the 2-port T1/E1-RANs internal CSU/DSU is
communicating with the CSU/DSU at the T1 or E1 service provider central office.
For non-redundant configurations, use a straight-through, shielded RJ-48C-to-RJ-48C cable.
Note If you choose to use the Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN in a non-redundant configuration, you must close
the relays on the card using the standalone subcommand. For more information, see the
Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A Mobile Wireless Edge Router Software Configuration Guide.
Step 1 Confirm that the router is turned off.

Step 2 Connect one end of the cable to the T1 or E1 (RJ-48C) port on the 2-port T1/E1-RAN card.
Step 3 Connect the other end to the BTS patch or demarcation panel at your site.
Step 4 Turn on power to the router (see “Powering Up the Router” section on page 3-14 for more details).
Step 5 Check that the router CD LED lights, which means that the card’s internal CSU/DSU is communicating
with the CSU/DSU at the T1 or E1 service provider central office.
The 2-port T1/E1-RAN uses an RJ-48C connection, as shown in Figure 3-7.

Y-Cable Specifications
As described in the “Connecting the Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN (VWIC-2T1/E1-RAN) Interface Cables”
section on page 3-11 depending on the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router implementation, the 2-port
T1/E1-RAN can be used in a standalone Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router. For redundant configurations
in a RAN-O implementation, the configurations require a special Y-cable for connecting the active and
standby routers. The Y-cable provides a dual E1 or T1 PRI connection (see Figure 3-8 on page 3-13).
The following are the specifications for the Y-cable used in redundant configurations in a RAN-O
implementation:
• 2-port T1/E1-RAN Y-cables should be made with four twisted-pair, shielded, 28-gauge cables.
• The cable length of each stub (from the RJ-48C connector to the junction point) should not exceed
3 inches (7.62 cm).
• The cable length from junction point to the patch panel is determined by the customer.

• All signals that propagate in the same direction must share the same twisted pair. For example, RX
TIP and RX RING must form a single twisted pair.
• All unused twisted pairs should be cut flush on both ends of the cable. Any unused wire in a twisted
pair in which one wire is in use should be cut flush at both ends.
OL-7872-04 3-13
Powering Up the Router
Cable-Management
All Cisco router cables should be properly dressed so as not to interfere with each other or other pieces
of equipment. Use local practices to ensure that the cables attached to your router are properly dressed.

Formatting Procedures for CF Memory Cards

For the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router, we recommend that you format/erase the CF memory card to
initialize them with a Class C Flash file system. This ensures proper formatting and enables the ROM
monitor to recognize and boot the Flash.
OL-7872-04 3-15
The Class C Flash file system is similar to the standard DOS file system; however, a CF memory card
formatted with the standard DOS file system does not support booting from the ROM monitor.
Formatting CF Memory Card as a DOS File System

To format an built-in CF memory card, or to remove the files from a CF memory card, enter the format
slot0: command.
The following example shows output for formatting a CF memory card formatted with a Class C Flash
file system:

Troubleshooting
Your Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router undergoes extensive testing before it leaves the factory. If you
encounter problems, use the information in this appendix to help isolate problems or to eliminate the
router as the source of the problem.
This appendix contains the following sections:
• Problem Solving, this page
• Reading the LEDs, page A-4
If you cannot locate the source of the problem, contact a customer service representative for information
on how to proceed. For technical support information, see the Cisco Information Packet publication that
shipped with your router. Before you call, have the following information ready:
• Chassis type and serial number
• Maintenance agreement or warranty information
• Type of software and version number
• Date you received the new chassis
• Brief description of the problem
• Brief explanation of the steps you have taken to isolate the problem
Note Ensure you provide the customer service representative with any upgrade or maintenance information
that was performed on the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router after your initial installation (see the
“Creating a Site Log” section on page 2-9 and Appendix C, “Site Log” for Site Log information.
Problem Solving
The key to problem solving is to isolate the problem to a specific subsystem by comparing what the
router is doing to what it should be doing.
The LEDs on the front panel of the router enable you to determine router performance and operation.
For a description of these LEDs (see “Reading the LEDs” section on page A-4).
When problem solving, check the following router subsystems:
• Power and cooling systems—External power source, power cable, router power supply and circuit
breaker, and router fans. Also check for inadequate ventilation or air circulation.
• Modules—Checking the LEDs on the modules can help you to identify a failure.
OL-7872-04 A-1
Appendix A Troubleshooting
Problem Solving
• Cables—Ensure that the external cables connecting the router to the network are all secure.
Troubleshooting the Power and Cooling Systems

Both the power LED and the fans can help you troubleshoot a power problem. Check the following items
to help isolate the problem:
• When the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router is connected to the power source, is the power (labeled
PWR) LED on the front panel on?
– If not, check the DC input, DC source, and the power supply wiring.
– Check the power supply connection to the motherboard.
– If the power LED is still off, the problem might be a power supply failure.
• Does the router shut down after being on for only a short time?
– Check for an environmentally induced shutdown (see the “Environmental Reporting
Features”section on this page).
– Check the fans. If the fans are not working, the router will overheat and shut itself down.
– If the fans are not working, check the power supply connections to the fans.
– Ensure that the chassis intake and exhaust vents are clear.
– Check the environmental site requirements in the “System Specifications” section on page 1-13.
• Does the router partially boot, but the LEDs do not light?
– Check for a power supply failure by inspecting the power LED on the front panel of the router.
If the LED is on, the power supply is functional.
– If the LED is off, refer to the Cisco Information Packet for warranty information or contact
customer service.
Environmental Reporting Features

The Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router has a temperature sensor to detect overtemperature conditions
inside the chassis. The overtemperature detection trips at 75°C +/- 5%. This condition is reported to the
processor as an interrupt; software acts on this interrupt, generating the appropriate alarm. If the router
reaches a temperature of 90°C, the power supply will cycle to prevent the router from exceeding that
temperature in a powered-up state.
If the router is operating at an abnormally high temperature, the following message is displayed on the
console screen:
%SYS-1-OVERTEMP: System detected OVERTEMPERATURE condition. Please resolve cooling problem
immediately!
The following can cause an abnormally high router temperature:
• Fan failure
• Air conditioner failure in the room
• Air flow blocked to cooling vents
Take steps to correct the problem. For information about environmental operating conditions (see the
“System Specifications” section on page 1-13).
A-2 OL-7872-04
Problem Solving
Troubleshooting Modules, Cables, and Connections

Network problems can be caused by a module, cables or cable connections, or external devices such as
a modem, transceiver, hub, wall jack, WAN interface, or terminal. Check for the following symptoms to
help isolate the problem:
• Module is not recognized by the router.
– Make sure that the module is firmly seated in its slot.
– Check the LEDs on the module. Each module has its own set of LEDs. For information on these
LEDs (see the “Reading the LEDs” section on page A-4).
– Make sure you have a version of Cisco IOS software that supports the module.
• Module is recognized, but interface ports do not initialize.
– Make sure that the module is firmly seated in its slot.
– Check external cable connections.
– Make sure that you have a version of Cisco IOS software that supports the module.
• Router does not boot properly, or it constantly or intermittently reboots.
– Make sure the module is firmly seated in its slot.
– Check the router chassis or software. For warranty information, refer to the Cisco Information
Packet publication that shipped with your router or contact customer service.
• Router boots, but the console screen is frozen.
– Check the external console connection.
– Verify that the parameters for your terminal are set as follows:
(a) The terminal should have the same data rate as the router has (9600 bps is the default).
(b) 8 data bits.
(c) No parity generated or checked.
(d) 2 stop bits.
• Router powers on and boots only when a particular module is removed.
– Check the module. For warranty information, refer to the Cisco Information Packet publication
that shipped with your order or contact customer service.
• Router powers on and boots only when a particular cable is disconnected.
– There may be a problem with the module or cable. For warranty information, refer to the Cisco
Information Packet publication that shipped with your order or contact customer service.

(labeled AL) Off The Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN is operating normally.
Loopback Amber On A loopback or line state has been detected or has been manually
(labeled LP) set by the user.
Off The Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN is operating normally.
Data Carrier Green On A carrier has been detected, and the internal CSU/DSU in the
Detect WAN interface card is communicating with another CSU/DSU.
(labeled CD) This LED is on during normal operation.
Off No carrier has been detected.
Note In a redundant configuration, when the relays of the Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN close, the Data Carrier
Detect LED on the T1 ports will remain on and the ALARM LED will go off. When the router is inactive,
the Alarm LED will be on (as a result of no framing) and the Data Carrier Detect LED will be off.

Appendix B Cable Specifications
Console and Auxiliary Port Signals and Pinouts

Your router comes with a console and auxiliary cable kit, which contains the cable and adapters that you
need to connect a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) or a
modem to your router. The console and auxiliary cable kit includes the following items:
• RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable
• RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled TERMINAL)
• RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter (labeled TERMINAL)
• RJ-45-to-DB-25 male DCE adapter (labeled MODEM)
For console connections, see the Console Port Signals and Pinouts; for modem connections, see the
“Auxiliary Port Signals and Pinouts” section on page B-3.
Console Port Signals and Pinouts

Use the thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and the RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled
TERMINAL) to connect the console port to a PC running terminal emulation software. Figure B-1 shows
how to connect the console port to a PC. Table B-1 lists the pinouts for the asynchronous serial console
port, the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable, and the RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled
TERMINAL).

Fast Ethernet Connector Pinouts
To identify a rollover cable compare the modular plugs at the two ends of the cable. When you hold the
plugs side by side, with the tab at the back, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug
should be the same color as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug (see
Figure B-2.) If you purchased your cable from Cisco Systems, pin 1 is white on one connector, and pin
8 is white on the other (a rollover cable connects pins 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5).

Fast Ethernet Connector Pinouts
This section illustrates the Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX (RJ-45) connector and lists its pinout and signal
descriptions.
Figure B-3 shows the 100Base-TX RJ-45 connector, and Table B-4 on page B-5 lists its pinouts. The
1-port Fast Ethernet network module RJ-45 port actively terminates wire pair 4 and 5 and wire pair 7
and 8. Common-mode termination reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and susceptibility to
common-mode sources.
