Ethernet routing. The ACX Series routers enable a wide range of business and residential applications and services, including microwave cell site aggregation, MSO mobile backhaul service cell site deployment, and service provider or operator cell site deployment. The ACX2000 routers have high-density Ethernet interfaces and high-capacity switching throughput.
Step 1: Prepare the Site for Installation Prepare your site for installation by observing the following guidelines: You can install the router in a four-post rack or cabinet or an open-frame rack. The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the chassis's external dimensions: 1.7 in. (4.4 cm) high, 9.4 in.

4. Have the second person install a mounting screw into each of the open mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting from the bottom. 5. Visually inspect the alignment of the router. If the router is installed properly in the rack, all the mounting screws on one side of the rack should be aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side, and the router should be level.

3. Plug the female DB-9 end into the device's serial port. Connect Network Interface Cables to the ACX Series Router 1. Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the network ports. For cable specifications, see the ACX2000 and ACX2100 Universal Access Routers Hardware Guide. NOTE: Shielded cables are required for outside deployment.

CAUTION: Avoid bending a fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose. CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow the fastened loops of a cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.
IN THIS SECTION Connect AC Power to an AC-Powered ACX2100 Series Router | 17 Connect DC Power to a DC-Powered ACX2000 or ACX2100 Router | 18 Depending on your configuration, your router uses either AC or DC power supplies. Perform the appropriate procedures for each power supply in your router.
If the system LED is not lit, the power supply is not functioning normally. Repeat the cabling procedures. Connect DC Power to a DC-Powered ACX2000 or ACX2100 Router To connect power to the DC-powered router, you need the following tools:...
Page 19
3. Remove the clear plastic cover protecting the terminal on the faceplate. 4. Verify that the DC power cables are correctly labeled before making connections to the power supply. In a typical power distribution scheme where the return is connected to chassis ground at the battery plant, you can use a multimeter to verify the resistance of the –48V and return DC cables to chassis ground: For –48V and –60V:...

CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the terminal screws on the DC power supply is 9 lb-in. (1.02 Nm). The terminal screws may be damaged if excessive torque is applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten screws on the DC power supply terminals.
Step 6: Perform Initial Software Configuration IN THIS SECTION Enter Configuration Mode | 21 Configure User Accounts and Passwords | 22 Configure System Attributes | 22 Commit the Configuration | 23 This procedure connects the router to the network but does not enable it to forward traffic. For complete information about configuring the router to forward traffic, including examples, see the Junos OS configuration guides.
Configure User Accounts and Passwords For information about using an encrypted password or an SSH public key string (DSA or RSA), see Configuring the Root Password and user. 1. Add a password to the root administration user account. Enter a cleartext password. [edit] root@host# set system root-authentication plain-text-password New password: password...
3. Configure the IP address and prefix length for the router’s Ethernet interface. [edit] root@# set interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address address/prefix-length 4. Configure the IP address of a backup router, which is used only while the routing protocol is not running. [edit] root@# set system backup-router address 5.

Commit the configuration to activate it on the router. [edit] root@# commit 3. (Optional) Configure additional properties by adding the necessary configuration statements. Then commit the changes to activate them on the router.
See installation instructions before connecting the router. This is a summary of safety warnings. For a complete list of warnings for this router, including translations, see the ACX2000 and ACX2100 Universal Access Routers Hardware Guide https://www.juniper.net/documentation/. WARNING: The intrabuilding port(s) of the router is suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the router in the rack. When removing or installing an electrical component, always place it component-side up on a flat antistatic surface or in an electrostatic bag. When you install the router, always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last.
