Installing the Cisco AS5800 3-27
Connecting the Dial Shelf to the Router Shelf
To connect the dial shelf interconnect cable, follow these steps:
Caution Do not use the dial shelf interconnect port adapter for outgoing WAN connections.
Warning Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the
unit is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When
detaching cables, detach the end away from the unit first. To see translations of the warnings that
appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that
accompanied this device.
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to
telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits and WAN ports contain
TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. To see translations of the
warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
document that accompanied this device.
Step 1 Attach one end of the dial shelf interconnect cable directly to the RJ-45 port (See
Figure 3-23) on the dial shelf interconnect port adapter in the Cisco 7206 router shelf.
Step 2 Tighten the jackscrews on either side of the connector.
Step 3 Attach the other end of the cable to the port labeled “Dial Shelf Interconnect” on the dial
shelf controller card front panel.
Step 4 Tighten the jackscrews on either side of the connector.
Step 5 If you will be using a split dial shelf configuration, repeat Step 1 through Step 4,
connecting the second dial shelf controller card to the second router shelf.
Caution Never disconnect the interconnect cable while the system is operating (except when
replacing a redundant dial shelf controller card), because you will lose all calls.
