Core routers provide connectivity between the MSO and the remote RF sites, the remote control sites, and the
gateway servers. They also serve as the multicast routers (Rendezvous Points) for the voice multicast groups.
A core router performs the following tasks:
• Controls audio, data, and network traffic in and out of the master site
• Provides control path redundancy and segregates the Network Management traffic
• Provides necessary services to the sites
• Provides a proactive fault management system, notifying whenever a redundant core router takes control
• Handles network traffic between the master site and the remote sites within a zone (intrazone traffic)

Figure 2: E1 Core Router with 12–port T1/E1 Modules

To connect to the MSO LAN switch the core routers use Ethernet ports which are connected to a separate TLAN. To
connect to remote sites the core router uses either direct connection to the GBN or the connection via the CWR
solution to the GBN, or the Ethernet WAN connection to the GBN via backhaul switches.
Core routers may be deployed in different ways:
• Pairs of E1-Core Routers – if redundancy is required the core routers are deployed in pairs of 1, 2, or 3 (2, 4, or
6 core routers in total). The number of pairs depends on the number of attached sites and the number of packets on
the TLANs. The core router pairs are deployed in combination with the CWR solution or WAN switch in case of

legacy design. The core routers support multiple sites per port because of channelized E1. The core router
redundancy in a geographically redundant zone is equal to a regular zone. Both CWR for single links and CWR
per dual link are possible.
• Pairs of Eth-Core Routers – Ethernet-based core routers are deployed in pairs of 1, 2, or 3 (2, 4, or 6 core routers
in total). The number of pairs depends on the number of attached sites and the number of packets on the TLANs.
The core routers support multiple sites per port because of IP tunnels. The core router redundancy in a
geographically redundant zone is equal to a regular zone. However, redundant routers are located in redundant
locations.
• Single E1-Core Routers – single core routers are used when router redundancy is not required. A singleton core
router supports multiple sites per port because of channelized E1.
Additionally, Ethernet core routers are deployed in the zone core when additional capacity is required, for example if
more base stations are needed in the zone core.
Note: The core router can also be configured to receive Network Time Protocol (NTP) and to interface
with the Network Management server using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Traffic being delivered to remote sites is sent over an IP tunnel which originates at the core router and terminates at
the remote site router. Each IP tunnel originates on a separate core router for redundancy. The IP tunnels are set up in
an active/standby configuration. Most of the traffic follows the primary IP tunnel. If there is a failure in the primary
tunnel, traffic switches over to the secondary tunnel.

Core Router Redundancy


Traffic being delivered to remote sites is sent over a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) which originates at the core
router and terminates at the remote site router. Each PVC originates on a separate core router for redundancy. The
PVCs are set up in an active/standby configuration. Most of the traffic follows the primary PVC. If there is a failure in
the primary PVC, traffic switches over to the secondary PVC.
In case of E1 core routers, the number of core routers is dependent on the number of channels in the zone. If more
routers are required, they are added in pairs. For the Ethernet solution, the connectivity is deployed by using pairs of
Ethernet core routers which share the same backhaul switches together with the combined CGE routers. The primary
core router connects to the backhaul switch 1, and secondary core router connects to the backhaul switch 2.
Each core router is capable of supporting any combination of up to 250 RF channels (dispatch sites). Two core routers
are added to the network for every additional 250 devices up to a limit of 700 RF channels/dispatch sites in the zone.
The system requires a minimum of two core routers for 1:1 redundancy. Each core router has two separate LAN
connections to the Ethernet switch, and either E1/X.21 connections to the patch panel, or an Ethernet connection to
the backhaul switch.
The core router redundancy in a system with Geographical Redundancy is equal to a regular zone.

Core Router Network Connections


Each core router has two 100Base-T connections to separate logically defined Transitional LANs (TLANs) on
separate switching modules on the LAN switch, providing high availability to the zone core. The core router directs
any traffic to other routers on the LAN, which then forward the traffic to the destination device.
Traffic being delivered to remote sites is sent over a PVC which originates at the core router and terminates at the
remote site router. Each PVC originates on a separate core router for redundancy, with individual PVCs setup across
the core routers in primary/secondary active/standby configuration. Most of the traffic follows its primary PVC. If
there is a failure in the primary PVC, then traffic switches over to the secondary PVC.
Each core router also has RS232 connection to the terminal server, allowing router administration by PC clients over
the LAN.

Core Router WAN Links


In case of the E1 setup, a core router uses frame relay to communicate to the sites through the patch panel in the CWR
solution. There are two frame relay Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) to each site, which originate at the core

Send Feedback | December 2013 | 68015000456-C


S6000 Router Theory of Operations | 29

routers, travel over the E1 links, through the patch panel, and ultimately terminate on the site router. In case of
Ethernet Site Links solution, routers communicate to sites through IP tunnels configured over Ethernet backbone
provided by GBN. There are two IP tunnels to each site, which originate at core routers, travel over Ethernet GBN
through backhaul switches, and terminate at control site routers.
The routers have two Ethernet ports that connect into different layer two modules on the LAN switch.

Core Router Multicasting


The core router supports multicasting, which allows the traffic from a single source to be replicated and sent to
multiple destination points. When a call is being set up, each participant in the call, such as base radio, is given
instructions and a multicast IP from the zone controller so that it may join the call. Each participant then sends a join
message to the core router, and the core router builds a multicast tree of all the participants. After the tree is
established, the source begins to send traffic to the core router. The core router then replicates the traffic and sends it
to all joined participants.

Exit Router Overview

Exit routers refer to a pair of routers per zone core that service:
• The intra-MSO traffic by means of LAN connectivity between zones within Multi-LAN shares, or by means of IP
tunnels between zones within the MSO
• The inter-MSO traffic by means of E1 or Ethernet WAN connectivity to other remote MSOs. The exit router uses
Multilink Frame Relay (MFR) on E1s or IP Tunnels on Ethernet links to connect to other MSOs. Only one exit
router is active at the time; the other exit router acts as a backup. Exit routers are not needed for a standalone
single zone system.
In order to provide redundancy for the interzone links out of the zone core, exit routers are in each zone working in
pairs (CWR panel is required for E1-based exit routers).
For a geographically redundant system, a pair of exit routers is required in each location to provide redundancy for
the interzone links out of the geographical location.
An exit router performs the following tasks:
• Handles interzone links. As with the core routers, the exit routers have two Ethernet ports that connect into
different layer 2 modules on the Local Area Network (LAN) switch and a 12-port E1 connector connected to the
patch panel for interzone traffic in the CWR solution.
Note: Exit routers use the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for interzone routing.

• Deploys packets among its multiple connections on both the LAN and WAN interfaces using dynamic routes. The
packets destined for the control Ethernet interfaces on the zone controller, as well as the packets for Network
Management, are routed through the Transitional LAN (TLAN) ports of the Ethernet LAN switch using dynamic
routes.
• Communicates with other zones through the patch panel or the backhaul switch using the E1 or Ethernet
connection. Each PVC originates on an exit router in one zone, and terminates on an associated exit router in the
adjacent zone.

Figure 3: Exit Router with 12-port T1/E1 Modules

Exit Router Redundancy


In the CWR solution, the exit routers are configured in active/inactive configuration with an active and an inactive
CWR peer. The active exit router typically handles all the traffic under normal conditions. The inactive exit router
takes over all the traffic when the active exit router fails, or takes over individual PVCs that are failing for the active
exit router. In order to execute this task, a single zone system must have two exit routers. Each exit router has two
separate LAN connections to the Ethernet switch and an E1 connection to the patch panel, or an Ethernet connection
to the backhaul switch.

Exit Router Network Connections


Each exit router has two TLAN connections to the LAN switch, providing high availability to the zone core. The exit
router also has an E1 connection to the patch panel or an Ethernet connection to the backhaul switch. The physical E1
connection supports frame relay over a PVC which originates at the exit router and terminates at the exit router in the
other zone.
Outbound interzone traffic is sent from the LAN switch to the exit router, and the exit router forwards the traffic
through the E1 or Ethernet connection to the patch panel or the backhaul switch. The patch panel or the backhaul
switch receives the outbound traffic and forwards it through RJ45 connectors to the other zone.
Each exit router has an RS232 connection to the terminal server, allowing router administration by PC clients over the
LAN.

Exit Router Frame Relay


In the CWR solution, the exit router uses frame relay to communicate to the sites through the patch panel. There are
two frame relay Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) to each site, which originate at the core routers, travel over the E1
links, through the patch panel, and ultimately terminate on the site router.
The routers have two Ethernet ports that connect into different layer two modules on the LAN switch and a 12-port
T1/E1 module to connect to the patch panel for interzone traffic.

Exit Router Multicasting


The exit router supports multicasting, which allows the traffic from a single source to be replicated and sent to
multiple destination points. When a call is being set up, each participant in the call, such as base radio, is given
instructions and a multicast IP from the zone controller so that it may join the call. Each participant then sends a join
message to the exit router, and the exit router builds a multicast tree of all the participants. After the tree is
established, the source begins to send traffic to the exit router. The exit router then replicates the traffic and sends it to
all joined participants.

Gateway Router Overview

Gateway routers serve as a single access interface for all information intended for the zone controller and the Packet
Data Gateway (PDG). Any traffic to and from these devices is routed through the gateway router. A gateway router
provides a level of isolation for the zone controller and PDG. A gateway router supports multicast traffic, allowing

Send Feedback | December 2013 | 68015000456-C


S6000 Router Theory of Operations | 31

the zone controller to send control packets to multiple points in the zone. Two gateway routers are installed on the
Local Area Network (LAN).
For systems with Geographical Redundancy, the primary, and secondary locations contain a single gateway router.
Each gateway router is connected only to a single core LAN switch.
The gateway router is a Motorola Network Router (MNR) S6000 with no I/O interfaces, as shown in Figure 4:
Gateway Router with no I/O Modules on page 31.
The gateway router functions as a data and control router. It also provides audio switch interface and Network
Management functionality.
Gateway routers are used for devices that require network redundancy and are multicasting beyond their local LAN.
Gateway routers provide support for the following:
• Zone Controller (control router functionality)
• Packet Data Gateway (data router functionality)
• Network Management
Gateway routers provide several benefits for the zone's master site:
• Provide a single access point or gateway to access the core and exit routers.
• Isolate multicast traffic from the various hosts they are servicing.
• Provide redundant connections for hosts with redundant interfaces (zone controller).

Figure 4: Gateway Router with no I/O Modules

Each gateway router has two 100Base-T connections to one of the master site Ethernet switches. One router connects
to TLAN 1 and the other connects to TLAN 2. One of the gateway routers routs any traffic to and from the zone
controllers or PDG. Each gateway router also has an RS232 connection to the terminal server, allowing router
administration by PC clients over the LAN.

Gateway Router Data Support


When used to support the PDG, the two gateway routers are used in this system as an interface between the PDG and
the Ethernet LAN switch. The gateway router uses two 100Base-T interfaces for interconnection.

Gateway Router Zone Controller Support


Gateway routers serve as the interface for all control information that flows between the zone controller and the
resources necessary to process a call. These resources include the RF sites, consoles, and telephone interconnect.
These routers use 100Base-T for the zone controller interface to the LAN switch.

Gateway Router Network Management Support


The gateway routers provide support for Network Management.

Control Site Router Overview

Control site routers connect remote control sites to the MSO via E1 or Ethernet site links. Control site routers support
single site link and dual site links.

68015000456-C | December 2013 | Send Feedback


32 | S6000 Router Theory of Operations

Redundancy is achieved with the use of dual site links. Dual site links can be terminated on two separate control site
routers, or on one control site router with two WAN modules. When implementing two control site routers, each
router handles one PVC which is terminated on separate core router at the zone core.

Border Router Overview

Border routers are routers that handle the interface to the Customer Enterprise Network (CEN). They connect to the
peripheral network (PN) on one site and the CEN on the other site. At the CEN interface one or more border routers
can be implemented.
Border routers are managed under the same conditions as the PN routers. In general the border router can be any type
router as long as it supports both the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to the peripheral network router, IPinIP
tunneling for PDS, and a Network Address Translation (NAT) interface.

Control Site Border Router Overview

Control site border routers connect the CEN located in remote control sites to the RNI via E1 WAN links. Control site
border routers support single site link and dual site links.

Peripheral Network Router Overview

A peripheral network (PN) router refers to a router that forms a DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ) network for Customer
Interfacing and which is independent of both Dimetra and customer IP domains. The PN router connects to the
gateway routers (optionally via a firewall), the control sites, the customer interface routers (border routers), and to
other PN routers. The PN router provides independent inter-zone and control site connections on layer 1.
If network security is deployed, the management capabilities of PN routers become limited to:
• Fault Management server is able to discover the PN router via the use of ping.
• The PN router can send SNMP traps to the Fault Management server.
• SNMP Get/Set/GetNext requests originated from the RNI and SNMP GetResponse requests that from the PN
router are possible.
The PN Routers provide 1:1 redundancy at each geographically redundant location. For both for single links and dual
links. The PN routers support redundant PN/DMZ connections and router redundancy to other MSOs and control
sites.

DCS Router Overview

Dispatch Communication Server (DCS) routers provide connectivity to Dispatch Communication Servers towards
gateway and core routers. DCS routers are deployed in pairs for redundancy. Each DCS router connects to the core
LAN switches using two Ethernet ports. The first port connects to TLAN1 and the second port connects to TLAN2.
On the other side, DCS router connects to DCS subnets/sites using the third Ethernet port.
For redundancy reasons, the DCS routers form a single pair that connects to DCS subnets and runs Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). DCS routers are always deployed in pairs. However, in geographically redundant
systems, DCS routers are not split over the two geographical locations, rather another pair of DCS routers is added in
each geographical location.

S6000 Router Installation
This chapter contains the installation procedures for S6000 routers. The following topics are included:
• General Hardware Installation Guidelines on page 33
• S6000 Router Installation on page 37
• Router EOS and Configuration Software Installation on page 43
Caution: When removing or installing modules, take the following precautions to prevent electrostatic
discharge (ESD) from damaging the internal components of the router:
• Always wear a properly grounded anti-static wrist strap.
• Transport static-sensitive components in anti-static packaging.
• Keep static-sensitive components in their anti-static packaging until you are ready to install them.
• Just before removing components from their anti-static packaging, discharge static electricity from your
body by touching an unpainted metal surface.
• When you handle modules, place them printed circuit side down on a nonconducting, static-free, flat
surface.

General Hardware Installation Guidelines

Use the following guidelines for system installation.


Motorola Systems Integration Centre (SIC) assembles, stages, and tests equipment for an entire system before the
shipment. Equipment racks shipped from SIC are configured to ensure consistency across the system and necessary
heat dissipation and should not be reconfigured.

Equipment Inspection and Inventory


The customer and the Motorola service representatives are to ensure that all racks, cables, and other equipment are
present. Conduct a careful inspection to verify that all equipment and accessories are in good condition. Damaged or
missing items should be noted and reported to Motorola promptly.
Warning: Do not tamper with factory configuration settings for these devices. This includes software
configuration, firmware release, password, and physical connections. Motorola has configured and
connected these devices to meet very specific performance requirements. Tampering with these devices
may result in unpredictable system performance or catastrophic failure.

Environmental Considerations
Most of the Master Site equipment is designed to be rack mounted and is normally supplied in 19" equipment
cabinets. These cabinets are intended to be installed in an equipment room with an appropriate Heating, Ventilation,
and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system installed. The ambient temperature of the equipment room should be
maintained in the range of 18 to 24 °C and the relative humidity maintained within the range 30% to 55% (non-
condensing). If feet are supplied, ensure that they are installed under the equipment cabinets to allow sufficient

68015000456-C | December 2013 | Send Feedback


34 | S6000 Router Installation

airflow through the cabinet. See also Placement Recommendations on page 34. If you have a FAN system in a
cabinet without any alarm system, it needs yearly inspection. If necessary, replacement is needed.

Placement Recommendations
Use the following suggestions for placing the equipment at the site.
• Place each rack in a stable area on a firm surface. Use the correct mounting hardware and shims to prevent rack
movement.
• Install the system safely. Use strain relief when installing and positioning cables and cords to help ensure that no
interruption of service occurs.
• Allow at least a meter of space at the front and rear of the system for proper air flow for cooling and for safe
access.
• Locate the site racks and other equipment with ease of service and access in mind. Service personnel require
access to the front, the rear, and the sides of the racks.
• Locate the system in an area free of heat, dust, smoke, and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
• If feet are supplied with your equipment, make sure that they are fitted under the cabinet to provide as least 15 mm
between the bottom of the rack and the floor. Additional clearance is required for compressible floor surfaces such
as carpet tiles.
• External cables coming into the cabinets must not significantly reduce airflow within the cabinets. Cables are
expected to be grouped together and secured along the side of the cabinets using the vertical rails.
• The power supply lines to the rack must be appropriately protected by fuses.
Note: Environmental operating and storage requirement data for individual components is available in
product documentation or as presented in each chapter.

Weight Distribution within a Rack


To avoid hazards or damage arising from uneven loading of the rack, distribute the weight of the equipment evenly in
the rack. Consider the limitations of equipment and cables. When possible, mount the heaviest components in the
bottom of the rack. Observe that the mechanical design of rack types can be different.
If you must install third-party equipment in the racks, contact your Motorola Solutions field representative before
doing it.
For special mounting requirements and specifications for equipment not provided by Motorola, see the documentation
from the rack manufacturer and the Motorola engineering specifications of the rack.

Rack Requirements
Most equipment is installed on a standard 19" rack.

Cabling Guidelines
See the Quality Standards - Fixed Network Equipment (FNE) Installation Manual, Standards and Guidelines for
Communication Sites for cabling standards.

Important:
• To prevent emission problems, use only Motorola shielded cables. Do not substitute other cable types.
• Ensure that equipment is positioned to avoid excessive tension on cables and connectors. Cables must
be loose with absolutely no stress on the connectors. Maintenance loops are recommended.
• Dress the cables neatly using cable ties. Do not tighten the cable ties until you are sure that the required
service length and bend radius requirements are met. Cable ties should be loose enough to allow
adjustment.
• Verify that all cables are properly labeled.
• Ensure that cables do not exceed the minimum bend radius as outlined in the Standards and Guidelines
for Communication Sites.
Warning: Use only Category five Shielded Twisted Pair (or higher) for cabling Ethernet connections.
Motorola has engineered this system to meet specific performance requirements and EMC standards. Using
other cabling and connectors may result in unpredictable system performance or catastrophic failure.

General Safety Precautions


Safety should always be the primary concern whenever working around system communications electronic
components. Those working around system equipment are solely responsible for being aware of specific safety
considerations associated with the system, its components, and its operation.

General Safety Information


It is crucial to observe the following general safety precautions during all phases of operation, service, and repair of
the equipment described in this manual. The listed safety precautions represent warnings of certain dangers of which
one must be aware. It is important that you follow these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the
safe operation of the equipment in your operating environment.
The equipment and installation instruction are designed to comply with various International Safety Standards, such
as EN60950 and should be installed to comply with any local regulatory requirements.
Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in this manual before
installing, servicing, or operating the equipment. Retain these safety instructions for future reference. Also, all
applicable safety procedures, local code requirements, safe working practices, and good judgment must be used by
personnel.
Refer to appropriate section of the product service manual for additional pertinent safety information.
Because of danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized
modifications of equipment.
It is necessary to have the appropriate activity risk assessment completed before the activity is conducted. Examples
of item that should be considered are:
• Repairs where the risk of injury would require second person to perform first aid or call for emergency support.
An example would be work around high-voltage sources.
• Manual handling of racks and some system components may require more than one person. Therefore the
appropriate risk assessments should be conducted.
• The stability of racks and other equipment should be considered when removing system element(s) from a rack or
other equipment.
If troubleshooting the equipment while power is applied, be aware of the live circuits.
DO NOT operate the transmitter of any radio unless all RF connectors are secure and all connectors are properly
terminated.
Ground all equipment in accordance with Motorola Standards and Guideline for Communications Sites and specified
installation instructions for safe operation.

You might secure racks to the ground (or by other methods) to prevent it from tipping over when you remove the
units.
For racks with wheels, use the lock mechanism on the wheels to fix the rack.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, prevent these slots and openings from coverage or blocking.
If the cabinets are fitted with feet to raise them off the floor and to provide ventilation, do not remove these feet.
Never store combustible materials in or near equipment racks. The combination of combustible material, heat, and
electrical energy increases the risk of a fire safety hazard.
Only a qualified technician familiar with similar electronic equipment should service equipment.
Some equipment components can become hot during operation. Turn off all power to the equipment and wait until
sufficiently cool before touching.
Warning: Possible electrical shock hazard. Before attempting removal or installation, make sure that the
primary power and batteries are disconnected.
Caution: The Dimetra IP system contains CMOS devices. Proper troubleshooting and installation
techniques require grounding precautions by personnel before handling equipment.

Human Exposure Compliance


This equipment is designed to generate and radiate radio frequency (RF) energy with an external antenna. When
terminated into a non-radiating RF load, the base station equipment is certified to comply with R&TTE regulations
and ICNIRP Guidelines.
Antenna installation should be designed to comply with the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection), or the local regulatory requirements which pertain to human exposure to RF (Non Ionizing)
radiation. Further information on ICNIRP guidelines can be found at http://www.icnirp.org/
Determining the compliance of transmitter sites of various complexities may be accomplished with computational
methods. For more complex sites direct measurement of the power density may be more expedient. Additional
information on the topic of electromagnetic exposure is contained in the Motorola Standards and Guideline for
Communications Sites publication. Persons responsible for installation of this equipment are urged to consult the
listed reference material to assist in determining whether a given installation complies with the applicable limits.
In general, it is necessary to observe the following guidelines when working in or around radio transmitter sites:
• All personnel should have electromagnetic energy awareness training.
• All personnel entering the site must be authorized.
• Obey all posted signs.
• Assume that all antennas are active.
• Before working on antennas notify owners and disable appropriate transmitters.
• Maintain minimum 1 meter clearance from all antennas.
• Do not stop in front of antennas.
• Use personal RF monitors while working near antennas.
• Never operate transmitters without shields during normal operation.
• Do not operate base station antennas in equipment rooms.
For installations outside of the U.S., consult the applicable governing body and standards for RF energy human
exposure requirements. Also take the necessary steps for compliance with local regulations.

Static Sensitive Precautions


It is important to always use the static grounding wrist strap (Motorola PN 42-80385A59) supplied with the
equipment when handling any board or module. Many of the boards or modules used in the equipment are vulnerable
to damage from static charges.
Handle, ship, and service these boards or modules with extreme care. To avoid static damage, observe the following
precautions:
• Before handling, shipping, and servicing equipment, connect a wrist strap to the grounding clip. This discharges
any accumulated static charges.
Warning: Use extreme caution when wearing a conductive wrist strap near sources of high voltage.
The low impedance provided by the wrist strap also increases the danger of lethal shock, should
accidental contact with high-voltage sources occur.
• Avoid touching any conductive parts of the module with your hands.
• Never remove boards or modules with power applied to the unit (hot-pull) unless you have verified it is safe to do
for a particular board or module. Make sure that the unit are not damaged by this. Several boards and modules
require that power is turned off before any boards or modules are removed.
• Avoid carpeted areas, dry environments, and certain types of clothing (silk, nylon, and so on.) during service or
repair due to the possibility of static buildup.
• Apply power to the circuit under test before connecting low impedance test equipment (such as pulse generators,
and so on). When testing is complete, disconnect the test equipment before power is removed from the circuit
under test.
• Be sure to ground all electrically powered test equipment. Connect a ground lead from the test equipment to the
board or module before connecting the test probe. When testing is complete, remove the test probe first, then
remove the ground lead.
• Lay all circuit boards and modules on a conductive surface when removed from the system. The conductive
surface must be connected to ground through 100Kohm.
Never use non-conductive material for packaging modules being transported. Wrap all modules with static sensitive
(conductive) material. Replacement modules shipped from the factory are packaged in a conductive material.

Electrostatic Discharge
Caution: Electronic components such as circuit boards and memory modules can be extremely sensitive to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Motorola recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a
conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading the system.
If an ESD station is not available, wear an antistatic wrist strap. Wrap one end strap around your wrist. Attach the
ground end (usually a piece of copper foil or an alligator clip) to the same electrical ground as the equipment under
repair or the equipment chassis.

Mounting the S6000 Router


When and where to use:
Perform this procedure to install the MNR S6000 router in a rack. MNR S6000 routers are installed at the master site
in a standard 48.26 cm (19 inch) equipment rack with mounting brackets like the one shown in Figure 9: How to
Align The Rack Mount Bracket on page 41, Figure 10: How to Secure The Rack Mount Bracket on page 42,
Figure 11: How to Attach the MNR S6000 Router to the Rack on page 42.
Caution: Do not restrict air flow around the sides and back of the routers. Allow one rack unit per router.

Procedure:
1 Hook the tab of one of the rack mount brackets into a venting hole on the side of the router chassis. Make sure,
that the holes on the bracket are aligned with the threaded holes on the chassis, as illustrated in the following
figure:.

Router to Power Source Connection


The S6000 features one power receptacle on the rear panel. Connect the female end of a power cable to the power
receptacle behind the router. Then connect the male end of the power cable to the appropriate power source outlet.

Connecting Router to Ground


When and where to use:
The router has a ground screw behind the panel. Some network topologies require that a grounding stud, separate
from the AC ground, be provided on the chassis of the networking equipment. If this type of grounding is required,
secure the ring lug from a ground wire (at least #6 AWG wire with a UL-listed ring lug) to ground screw and
terminate the other end of the ground wire on a permanently connected protective earthing conductor.
Procedure:
1 Using a minimum #6 AWG wire, terminate one end of a length of wire with a UL-listed ring lug.
Note: If the length of the grounding wire must exceed 4 meters before it is terminated, grounding wire
larger than #6 AWG is required. See Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites for details.
2 Attach the ring lug of the ground wire to the ground screw on the rear panel of the router.
3 Terminate the other end of the ground wire on a permanently connected protective earthing conductor.

2 Using UEM, check the alarms for other critical network devices on the LAN.
Also verify the configuration of LAN switch.
3 Check the physical connection to the LAN port on the router. Verify that the
cabling is properly connected and in good condition.
4 If the connection fails to establish a connection, power down the router and test
the Ethernet cable for continuity, attenuation, and excessive crosstalk. Replace
the cable if necessary.
5 If the router still fails to operate properly, replace the router. See Backup and
Restore Including FRU/FRE manual for replacement instructions.

General performance 1 In UEM, check the condition of the LAN switch and all affected devices and
problems on the LAN links. Verify that all routers are operational.
2 Using Historical Reports, Performance Reports, check the overall loading of
calls and activities on the LAN. Verify that the loading is within the maximum
loading specifications for the system.
3 Using InfoVista, generate performance and traffic reports for the routers. Look
for anomalies, heavy volumes of traffic, or high CPU utilization or other
device resources.
4 Run ping, traceroute, and pathping commands and loopback testing across any
troubled links or between any suspected devices.
5 Verify that the address tables, subnet masks, and default gateways are set
appropriately in the router and other networked devices.
6 Physically verify that the LAN switch is operating properly. Check LEDs and
physical connections and verify that all cabling conforms to standard. Check
for sharp bends in cabling and cabling that is too long for specification (such as
100 meters for 10Base-T).
7 Check troubled cabling for noise, attenuation, continuity, and crosstalk. Verify
that communication cabling is routed apart from all power cabling and power
sources. Verify that cabling is also clear from any test equipment that is
causing interference.
8 As applicable, verify that any service provider connections are providing the
appropriate throughput for your system.
9 Identify the bottleneck points in the system. Check and reload device
configurations as necessary, or replace any suspected switching or routing
devices that are not performing to specification.
10 Revise the configurations, services, and permissions for the subscribers as
necessary.
11 Purchase additional equipment to handle the additional load of traffic (routers
or sites). Contact Motorola for assistance.

52 | S6000 Router Troubleshooting

Core Router Troubleshooting


Core routers are installed in pairs or as singletons. In case of the redundant solution, failure of one core router is
transparent to the user. If a core router fails, the redundant router takes over. If both core routers are powered down,
all local LAN devices are no longer able to navigate inside of the local zone.
If a core router fails in a system with Geographical Redundancy, the other core router takes over in the same way as a
core router failure is handled in a configuration without Geographical Redundancy.
Core router failures are reported in UEM. If a failure is suspected, see the Backup and Restore Including FRU/FRE
manual for the appropriate FRE replacement procedures.

Exit Router Troubleshooting


Exit routers are installed in pairs. Because of this redundancy, failure of one exit router is transparent to the user. The
following scenarios are possible:
• If an exit router fails, the redundant router in that location takes over.
• If both routers fail, interzone traffic is only lost for systems without Geographical Redundancy. For systems with
Geographical Redundancy, traffic is rerouted via the exit routers in the other location.
• For E1 routers, if both routers fail in a system without Geographical Redundancy, the LAN devices are unable to
navigate but in a geographically redundant system the navigation is rerouted via the exit router pair in the other
location. Ethernet exit routers in a geographically redundant system are installed as one in each location (two in
total). Loosing both of them stops routing the interzone link to/from that zone.
If an exit router fails in a geographically redundant system, the other exit router takes over in the same way that an
exit router failure is handled in a configuration without Geographical Redundancy.
Exit router failures are reported in UEM. If a failure is suspected, see the Backup and Restore Including FRU/FRE
manual for the appropriate FRE replacement procedures.

Gateway Router Troubleshooting


Gateway routers are installed in pairs. Because of this redundancy, failure of one exit router is transparent to the user.
Gateway router failures are reported in UEM. If a failure is suspected, see the Backup and Restore Including
FRU/FRE manual for the appropriate FRE replacement procedures.
