Introduction
The Router
The Router
The CR6400 routers are 2RU routers. They are about 10” deep to accommodate removable I/O
cards. This is a front view of the router:
The CR6464-3Gig and the CR6464-AES routers have the same features at the front. The two
routers are distinguished, at the rear, by the labeling on their I/O cards.
The router’s fan module is removable through the front of the router.
You can mount a CP6464 control panel on the front of the router. The router has a connector
that mates to the panel. If a panel is not attached to the router, a small metal plate covers the
connector opening.
At the right side of the front of the router is a 16-position rotary switch. The positions are labeled
0–F in hex (equivalent to 0–15 in decimal). Turning this switch to different positions on different
routers (1) assigns “levels” to the routers, and (2) determines the IP addresses of the routers in a
network of routers.
Powering up the router with the rotary switch set at its 0 position causes the router to be
reset to its factory defaults. (You should not use the router in your system with its switch at
the 0 position.)
Two power LEDs give the status of the router’s two power supplies. The LEDs will be illuminated
if the power supplies are functioning properly.
The fan LED shows red if a problem exists in the fan module and green otherwise. The fan
module has two fans. If one fails, the fan LED turns on. The other fan can provide enough air
movement to cool the router.
The reference LED shows green when the router is receiving a good video reference signal and
red when it is not.
At the rear, the CR6400 routers have 4 slots for removable I/O cards, and slots for a crosspoint
card and a control card (also called a CPU card).
The control card has several connectors and 2 LEDs: an alarm LED and a power LED. The cross-
point card has no external connectors, but does have an alarm LED and a power LED.
