ERX 11.1.x Hardware Guide
NOTE: The alarm function on the SRP I/O module is currently not implemented.
Only ERX7xx and ERX14xx models have external timing ports and alarm leads
located on the SRP I/O module. All ERX routers have console ports located on the
SRP I/O module. See Table 7 on page 50 for details on each component.
Table 7: SRP I/O Ports
External Timing Ports
NOTE: This section applies to ERX7xx and ERX14xx models only. The ERX310 router
does not support external timing.
The SRP I/O module has two input ports for external clock sources. These ports
provide a way to ensure that the router system clock remains synchronized with the
network's system clock. The primary clock is labeled A; the secondary, redundant
clock is labeled B.
Use the connectors appropriate for your locale (European or North American
standard):
NOTE: Use shielded cables to connect the external clock sources to the clock source
input ports.

Alarm leads (ERX7xx and
ERX14xx models only)
External timing ports (ERX7xx
and ERX14xx models only)
Management console ports
European Two 75-ohm E1 2.048-Mbps inputs with BNC connectors
North American Two 100-ohm T1 inputs with three pin wire-wrap connectors.
Pins are labeled T (tip), G (ground), and R (ring). We recommend using 26-AWG
wire minimum.

Six terminal blocks for external alarm contacts; use a
minimum 26-AWG for each (currently not implemented)
Two 3-pin wire-wrap posts for US external clock sources;
primary (A) and secondary (B)
Two BNC connectors for E1 clock sources; primary (A)
and secondary (B)
