The Cisco ubr Advanced RF Switch (Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV) provides N+ line card redundancy switching for the Cisco ubr00 universal broadband router also known as the Cisco CMTS. The Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV is a rack-mount unit controlled by the Cisco ubr00 router. Overview, page Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV Hardware Components Description, page 5 Interface Overview, page 6 Overview The Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV is located between the Cisco ubr00 router and the cable plant. All the RF downstream (output) and RF upstream (input) ports of the Cisco ubr00 router are connected to one side of the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV, while the cable plant is connected to the other side. The Cisco ubr00 router supports up to eight cable interface (RF) line cards. Each line card supports a single downstream Universal Cable Holder (UCH) connector (five RF ports per connector) and two upstream UCH connectors (ten RF ports per connector). When supporting N+ redundancy, the Cisco ubr00 router allocates one of the eight line cards as a protect line card. There are 4 cards on the rear of the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV. Each card supports one UCH connector. These cards are arranged in eight groups of three cards each. In the middle is the protect card group, which consists of one downstream protect and two upstream protect cards (see Figure : Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV Rear View (CMTS Side), on page ). This protect card group connects to the Cisco ubr00 router protect line card. To either side of the protect cards are groups of switch cards one downstream switch card and two upstream switch cards per group. These groups of switch cards connect to the remaining line cards on the Cisco ubr00 router. On the front of the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV are interconnect cards. These cards are arranged in seven groups of three cards each. Each group contains one downstream interconnect card and two upstream interconnect cards. These interconnect cards connect to the cable plant. When the Cisco ubr00 router and Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV are not in protect mode, each interconnect card group is switched to a corresponding line card on the Cisco ubr00 router. However, when the Cisco ubr00 and Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV are in protect mode, the interconnect card group associated with the failed cable interface line card is switched to the protect line card group instead.

Overview The Cisco ubr00 router manages all protect switching control plane events and system upgrades. Cisco IOS Release.()SCG and later releases for Cisco ubr00 router are required for operation with the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV. When the Cisco ubr00 router determines that a cable interface line card failure has occurred, it enters into protect mode and additionally commands the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV to enter protect mode. The Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV supports the following line cards on the Cisco ubr00 router: Cisco UBR-MC0X0V Cisco ubr-mcgx60v The Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV enhances overall system usability by providing easy cabling using the same quick-connect UCH system used on all Cisco ubr00 router cable interface line cards. The Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV provides the following enhancements over the earlier Cisco ubr x0 RF Switch units: One Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV replaces two ubr x0 RF Switch units. UCH type connectors allow easy cabling and improved RF and electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance. Image upgrade is improved. RF path performance is improved with significantly less insertion loss. 54 to 00 MHz downstream frequency range. 5 to 85 MHz upstream frequency range. Fully-redundant control ports.

Cable-Management Bracket A new cable-management bracket used for securing the cable bundles for easy management and maintenance is introduced with the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV. This cable-management bracket mounts directly to the rack rails above a Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV. It uses an additional one rack-unit (RU) of rack space when used without the cable locking bar and two RUs when the cable locking bar is used. OL-404-0 5

Interface Overview PRE AUX Port Interface This section describes the PRE AUX port interface on the Cisco CMTS router and its impact on the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV. The PRE AUX port is an RS- serial port with an RJ-45 style connector provided on all PRE cards shipped with the Cisco ubr00 router. It is available on the primary PRE as well as the secondary PRE. It is located next to the console port on the PRE. If the AUX port is not used to control the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV, it may be used as an alternate console connection to the PRE. 6 OL-404-0
PRE AUX Port Interface The AUX port is used to interface with the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV. All commands are executed from the PRE using this AUX serial interface. A command-control model is used where the PRE serves as a master and the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV as the slave. All Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV-related control operations and status collection operations are initiated by the PRE. The PRE sends commands to the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV over the RS- cable, using a proprietary protocol. The Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV then responds with status information. OL-404-0 7
