About This Guide

What is in this guide

This guide explains how to perform the following installation and basic configuration tasks on

an APX 1000 unit:

• Physical installation of the chassis and its components

• Connection of an administrative terminal to the APX 1000 unit

• Configuration of the APX 1000 unit for administrative network connectivity

This guide also provides technical specifications and an operational overview of the APX 1000

unit. When you finish performing the instructions in this guide, the unit will be installed and

you will be able to access it via a Telnet connection for further configuration.

You can then use the APX 1000 Physical Interface Configuration Guide to configure the slot

cards in your unit. For information about configuring the unit for Asynchronous Transfer

Mode (ATM), frame relay, or routing and tunneling services, see the APX 8000™/MAX

configuration guides listed under on “Documentation set” on page xv.

Note: This manual describes the features for APX 1000 units running software version

9.1-149. Some features might not be available with earlier versions or specialty loads of the

software.

What you should know

Warning: Before installing or operating your APX 1000 unit, be sure to read the safety

instructions in the Edge Access Safety and Compliance Guide. For information specific to your

unit, see the “Safety-Related Electrical, Physical, and Environmental Information” appendix in

your unit’s hardware installation guide.

This guide is for the person who installs and performs basic configuration on APX 1000 units.

To configure a unit, you need to understand the following:

• Internet and telecommunications concepts

• Wide Area Network (WAN) concepts

• Local Area Network (LAN) concepts

Overview of APX 1000 System and

Features

The APX 1000 product is shipped in configurations that are tailored to your environment. This

chapter provides an overview of the features of the APX 1000 and the configurations in which

it is available. The components of the APX 1000 and their functions are also identified.

APX 1000 features overview

An APX 1000 unit is a WAN access switch, or concentrator, designed for the multiple access

requirements of Internet service providers (ISPs), carrier service providers, and major

corporations. The unit supports up to 672 (T1) or 720 (E1) DS0 connections by means of

multiple access technologies, and provides voice and data aggregation. For voice applications,

using SS7, IPDC is supported. ASGCP is not supported.

The APX 1000 supports switched and leased-line connections and analog and digital user

sessions. The unit complies with existing standards for networks, authentication, and Simple

Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management.

The APX 1000 chassis is available in four configurations to meet the requirements of different

environments.

• T3—supports up to 672 user connections

• 24-port Multi-T1—supports up to 576 user connections

• 24-port Multi E1—supports up to 720 user connections

• 16-port Multi E1—supports up to 480 user connections

• 8-port Multi T1—supports up to 192 connections

APX 1000 system overview

The APX 1000 chassis is 17.2 inches (43.7cm) wide, 5.2 inches (13.2cm) high, and 18.5 inches

(47cm) deep. The front of the chassis, shown in Figure 1-1, contains the ventilation fans and

air filter behind a plastic bezel.

Figure 1-1. APX 1000 chassis, front view

The rear of the APX 1000 chassis, shown in Figure 1-2, consists of the following major

hardware components:

• One shelf controller

• Five expansion slots, containing

– One or two ingress slot cards that support subscriber connections to the APX 1000

– One egress slot card that passes combined subscriber traffic onto a backbone network

– Up to three digital signal processor (DSP) slot cards, or two DSP slot cards if a slot is

used for a second E1 ingress card

• Dual ac or dc power supplies

Slot cards in an APX 1000 unit connect to each other via the backplane. The shelf controller

manages the system and interacts with the slot cards.

APX 1000™ Getting Started Guide 1-3

Table 1-1 describes the combinations of ingress, egress, and DSP slot cards that make up the

four primary configurations of the APX 1000. For additional details about these cards, see

Appendix B, “Slot Card Specifications.”

Note: Although it is physically possible to place slot cards from other members of the APX

product line in the APX 1000, they are not supported for use in the APX 1000. Only slot cards

sold with the APX 1000 as part of the following configurations are supported.

APX 1000 shelf

The APX 1000 chassis is referred to as a shelf. It unifies all components into an operational

unit. The APX 1000 shelf contains one slot for the shelf controller, five slots for slot cards, and

two power supply bays. The backplane contains multiple buses that interconnect all slots.

APX 1000 slot cards for primary configurations

Table 1-2 lists the slot cards supporting the primary configurations of an APX 1000 unit and

identifies the port speed and port capacity for each card type. For detailed slot card

descriptions, see Appendix B, “Slot Card Specifications.”
