ACX500 Universal Access Routers Quick Start—ACX500 Outdoor Routers

ACX500 Routers Quick Start Description

This Quick Start contains information you need to install and configure the ACX500

outdoor router quickly. For complete installation instructions, see the ACX500 Universal

Access Router Hardware Guide at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.

WARNING: This Quick Start contains a summary of safety warnings in “Safety

Warnings” on page 21. For a complete list of warnings for this router, including

translations, see the ACX500 Universal Access Router Hardware Guide at

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.

The ACX Series Universal Access Routers are Ethernet-optimized mobile backhaul routers

that provide both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The ACX Series routers

enable a wide range of business and residential applications and services, including

microwave cell site aggregation, mobile backhaul service cell site deployment, and service

provider or operator cell site deployment. The routers have high-density Ethernet

interfaces and high-capacity switching throughput.

An ACX Series router has a built-in Routing Engine and one Packet Forwarding Engine.

The Packet Forwarding Engine has one “pseudo” Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC 0).

Because there is no switching fabric, the single Packet Forwarding Engine takes care of

packet forwarding.

The compact ACX500 outdoor routers are environmental-hardened, and can be deployed

in a variety of outdoor locations, such as on outside street cabinets, walls, and utility

poles. With the router orientation as shown in Figure 1 on page 4, the chassis of the

ACX500 outdoor router measures 12.3 in. (31.24 cm) deep, 4.3 in. (10.92 cm) high, and

10 in. (25.4 cm) wide. The ACX500 outdoor router is available in both AC and DC models.

The ACX500 outdoor routers contain three Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports—labeled

GE(Fiber)—and three RJ-45 ports—labeled GE(Cu).

The ACX500 outdoor routers meets the International Protection profile (IP-65)

classification for dust proof and water splash proof environments.

Figure 1 on page 4 shows the front view of the ACX500 outdoor router.

Step 1: Prepare the Site for Installation

Prepare your site for installation by observing the following guidelines:

•When choosing a location, allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between the front

and back of the chassis and adjacent equipment or walls.

•Ensure that the wall or the pole onto which the router is installed is stable and securely

supported.

•Ensure that the wall or pole is able to carry the load of the fully configured router.

•If you are mounting the router in wallboard with a gypsum plaster core or in wallboard

not backed by wall studs, use hollow wall anchors capable of supporting the combined

weight of two fully loaded chassis. Insert the screws into wall studs wherever possible

to provide added support for the chassis.

•The width of the pole must be within the range of 2 in. through 16 in. for the

pole-mounting brackets to fit properly.

•To mount the router, use the pole-mount kit or the wall-mount kit from Juniper

Networks.

•The pole-mount kit and the wall-mount kit are not part of the standard package and

must be ordered separately.

•One person must be available to lift the router while another secures the router.

•For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, allow at least

24 in. (60.9 cm) on top of the router.

•When installing the ACX500 outdoor routers on a pole or on a wall, the chassis must

be installed in a vertical orientation with the cables pointing downwards and the eye

bolt for hoisting the router pointing upwards. See Figure 3 on page 6.

Step 1: Prepare the Site for Installation

Step 2: Install the Router

Based on your requirement, you can mount the ACX500 outdoor router either on a wall

or on a pole:

•On a pole—You can mount the ACX500 outdoor router on a suitable telephone,

electrical or an utility pole with the help of the pole-mounting kit. The pole-mounting

kit is sold separately. It is not shipped with the ACX500 outdoor router.

•On a wall—You can mount the ACX500 outdoor router on a suitable wall with the help

of a wall-mounting kit. The wall-mounting kit is sold separately. It is not shipped with

the ACX500 outdoor router.

For complete and detailed installation instructions, see the ACX500 Universal Access

Router Hardware Guide at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.

NOTE: When installing the ACX500 outdoor router, keep the following

guidelines in mind:

•The router must not be installed until all unused chassis cable openings

are closed with the weather sealed caps (cap with washer) to ensure

protection of interior of the router from environment. Leaving chassis cable

ports not covered will damage the router.

•Use certified outdoor enclosure (PDU or AC /DC connection box) for

covering the AC and DC input wire terminals at the power source end of

the power cable. Ensure that L, N, and earth wire terminals of the AC power

cable is connected properly to the respective L, N and earth of the AC power

source. Similarly, ensure that the positive (+) and the negative (–) DC

source power cables are correctly connected to the respective positive (+)

and the negative (–) DC power source. A faulty connection may damage

the router and could cause shock hazard and severe injury.

•When installing the router outdoors, the branch circuit that powers the unit

must have ground fault protection as per the local and national electrical

codes (for example NEC code). Ensure that over current protection fuse

in the branch circuit is not greater than 20 A.

•If you are installing the GPS antenna, ensure that antenna is located at

location away from overhead power lines.

Step 3: Ground the ACX500 Outdoor Router

You must ground both the AC-powered and the DC-powered routers before connecting

them to power. Failing to ground the router properly may result in shock hazard.

•Tools Required to Ground the Router on page 9

•Connect the Grounding Cable on page 9

Tools Required to Ground the Router

To ground the router, you need the following tools:

•Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2

•Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding wrist strap

•Two 0.5-in. long stainless steel SS 316 SAE 10-32 screws, and flat washers (not

provided)

•Grounding lug, Panduit LCCF6-14A-L or equivalent (not provided)

•Grounding cable, minimum 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) 90° C wire (not provided)

•Corrosion-preventing compound such as NO-OX-ID (not provided)

WARNING: The ACX500 outdoor router has a provision for connecting a

two-hole grounding lug (Panduit LCCF6-14A-L). Ensure that the router is

permanently grounded with 6-AWG copper wire with this specified two-hole

lug.

Connect the Grounding Cable

You ground the router by connecting a grounding cable to earth ground and then attaching

it to the chassis grounding points. To ground the ACX500 outdoor router:

1. Verify that a licensed electrician has terminated and attached the two hole grounding

lug with the 6 AWG ground wire.

2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect

the strap to an approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.

3. Ensure that all grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before you

make grounding connections.

4. Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.

5. Detach the ESD grounding strap from the site ESD grounding point.

6. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the

ESD points on the chassis.

7. Place the grounding lug over the grounding points on the back of the chassis (see

Figure 5 on page 11).

Step 3: Ground the ACX500 Outdoor Router

NOTE: The grounding point location on the ACX500 routers is the same

for both the AC and the DC models.

8. To protect the router from rust and corrosion, perform the following steps:

a. Clean both the mating surfaces (the grounding lug and the ACX500 outdoor router’s

grounding terminals).

b. Apply a thin film ( 1 mm or 0.04 in.) of corrosion-preventing compound, such as

NO-OX-ID, on the router’s grounding terminals.

c. Press the lug onto the conductive surface unit to force out the excess

corrosive-preventing compound.

9. Secure the grounding lug with the washers and screws. The holes are sized for

SAE 10-32 screws. Apply 4 lb-in. (0.49 Nm) of torque to each screw. Do not overtighten

the screw. (Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.)

CAUTION:

•Ensure that each grounding lug sits flush against the surface of the

grounding points as you are tightening the screws. Ensure that each

screw is properly threaded into the grounding points. Applying

installation torque to the screw when improperly threaded can damage

the terminal.

•The maximum torque rating of the grounding screws on the router is

4 lb-in. (0.49 Nm). The grounding screws can be damaged if excessive

torque is applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten screws.

Use an appropriately sized driver, with a maximum torque capacity of

5 lb-in. or less. Ensure that the driver is undamaged and properly

calibrated and that you have been trained in its use. You might want to

use a driver that is designed to prevent overtorque when the preset

torque level is achieved.

10. Verify that the grounding cabling is correct, and verify that it does not touch or block

access to router components, and that it does not drape where people could trip on

it.
