Rear Panel Layout; Figure 2-2 Rear Panel Connections - Prc Bus Installation; Figure 2-3 Rear Panel Connections - Cougar3 Stand-Alone Ssc3 Configuration - PESA Cougar 3 User Manual

A Local Control Panel may be installed in place of the front cover only on stand-alone Cougar3 frames
with the internal SSC3 controller module. Any standard 1RU PNet remote control panel may be used as
a local panel; in most applications, however, the P3232 panel is used since it allows full access to all 32
input and 32 output channels at all switching levels. When a control panel is attached to the router,
power for the panel is derived from the frame power supply, and a dedicated Ethernet interface is
provided on the router rear panel.

Rear panel layout is the same for both PRC and SSC3 stand-alone Cougar3 routers, the active
connectors, however, differ by application.
Rear panel connections used when installing the Cougar3 to an external system controller over the PRC
bus interface are shown by Figure 2-2, and connections used when installing the router as a stand-alone
device using the SSC3 controller and Ethernet connectivity between system components are shown by
Figure 2-3. A brief introduction to the function of each connector is presented in the following
paragraphs.

PESA Routing Control (PRC) Bus Interface Port - When viewed from the rear of the frame the right-
hand RJ45 connector on the lower edge of the frame is the PRC port, as shown by Figure 2-2. In PRC
Bus systems, this port is the interface connection between the Cougar3 router and an external 3500PRO
or PERC2000 System Controller. An adaptor cable is provided to connect the RJ45 connector on the
Cougar3 rear panel to the 9-pin "D" system controller PRC connector.
