Use this guide to install hardware and perform initial software configuration, routine maintenance, and troubleshooting for the ACX500 Universal Metro Router. After completing the installation and basic configuration procedures covered in this guide, refer to the Junos OS documentation for information about further software configuration.
Juniper Networks ACX500 Universal Metro Routers are principally designed to provide superior management for rapid provisioning to the access network. The ACX500 routers support rich Gigabit Ethernet capabilities for uplink, along with support for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, in a compact form factor that is environmentally hardened and passively cooled.
Page 12
The ACX500 routers can be installed indoors as well as outdoors: • ACX500 indoor—The compact ACX500 indoor routers are one rack unit (U; that is, 1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) tall. Several routers can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack for increased port density per unit of floor space.
(pole mount or stand mount) with no need for an enclosure or cabinet. • High availability and reliability— Junos Continuity on ACX500 eliminates OS upgrades and system reboots when new hardware is added to ACX500 routers. A plug-in package provides the drivers and support files needed to bring the hardware online.

Fixed classification places all packets in the same forwarding class, or the usual multifield (MF) or behavior aggregate (BA) classifications can be used to treat packets differently. BA classification with firewall filters can be used for classification based on IP precedence, DSCP, IEEE, or other bits in the frame or packet header.

Avoid twisting your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure that your footing is solid. Figure 35: Installing the ACX500 Indoor Router in the Rack 5. Align the mounting brackets with the holes in the rack rails.
Mounting the ACX500 Outdoor Router on a Wall You can mount the ACX500 outdoor router on the wall with the help of a wall-mounting kit. The ACX500 wall-mounting kit consists of two mounting brackets (one is attached to the rear of the ACX500 outdoor router and the other to the wall).
Page 142
• Ground label and ground lug provided with the wall-mounting kit • Marker pen • Drilling machine NOTE: The information provided in this topic is applicable for both the ACX500 outdoor router variants—ACX500 outdoor router and ACX500 outdoor router with PoE. To mount the ACX500 outdoor router on a wall: Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
Page 143
NOTE: The router must be mounted keeping in mind the basic clearance requirement for the ACX500 outdoor router. See "Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance on ACX500 Routers" on page 80 for more information. Remove the bracket, and drill four holes at the points marked on the wall.
Page 144
Lift and carry the ACX500 outdoor router to the wall where the wall-mounting kit is attached. The small eye bolt at the top of the ACX500 outdoor router can be used to lift the chassis. Use an appropriate rope and lifting tool to hoist the router at the desired height.
Page 145
The ACX500 outdoor router is secured onto the wall-mounting kit with the help of six screws. The top two screws are inserted first into the keyholes on the wall-mounting kit. These screws help to first hang the router on the wall-mounting kit by taking the weight out, and when the router comfortably hangs on the unit, secure it by using the other four screws.
Mounting the ACX500 Outdoor Router on a Pole You can mount the ACX500 outdoor router on a pole with the help of a pole-mounting kit. The ACX500 pole-mounting kit consists of two mounting brackets (one is attached to the rear of the ACX500 outdoor router and the other to the pole), 5/8-in.
Page 147
NOTE: The information provided in this topic is applicable for both the ACX500 outdoor router variants—ACX500 outdoor router and ACX500 outdoor router with PoE. To mount the ACX500 outdoor router on a pole: Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
Page 148
— Pole — Place the joined brackets on the pole where you want to install the ACX500 outdoor router with the pole-mounting bracket facing the pole, and secure the joined brackets with the three 5/8-in. through bolts provided. The three holes present on the pole-mounting brackets are for the through bolts.
Page 149
Lift and carry the ACX500 outdoor router to the pole where the pole-mounting kit is attached. See Figure 41 on page 141. The small eye bolt at the rear of the ACX500 outdoor router can be used to lift the chassis. Use an appropriate rope and lifting tool to hoist the router at the planned height.
Page 150
NOTE: Ensure that the chassis-mounting screws sit properly in the chassis-mounting bracket keyholes. Insert and secure the router by using the center and bottom chassis-mounting screws. 10. Tighten the screws to secure the ACX500 outdoor router to the pole-mounting kit.
The ACX500 outdoor router is now securely mounted on the pole and ready for use. Connect the power supply and cabling as required. Weatherproofing the ACX500 Outdoor Router IN THIS SECTION Weatherproofing Overview | 142 Accessing and Weatherproofing the Interface Ports | 144...
Page 152
NOTE: The ACX500 outdoor router do not power on if the interface and the management port chambers are open. Ensure that the interface and the management port chambers are closed before you power on the router. This is an IP65 requirement for weatherproofing the router.
Weatherproofing the Interface Ports—Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 | 150 In the ACX500 outdoor router, all the interface ports (Gigabit Ethernet SFP and RJ-45 ports) are located in a small chamber on the front top of the router. You can access the interface ports to install the transceivers and check LED status through this interface port chamber.
Page 154
The weather seal caps prevent dust and water from entering into the router when the router or the interface port is not in use. Figure 43: Removing the Weather Seal Cap WARNING: Ensure that you have the weather seal caps on the cable inlet ports that are not in use.
Page 155
NOTE: The cable seal with single groove must be used for the SFP cables, and that with three grooves must be used for the RJ-45 cables. Figure 44: Removing the ACX500 Outdoor Router Cable Connector Unit Carefully align the transceiver with the cable inlet hole of the SFP port where you want to insert the interface cable, and slide the transceiver until the connector is seated in the corresponding port.

Page 159
Also, visually examine the cable and the groove to ensure that there is no gap left, and that the cable sits properly in the groove. Figure 48: Installing the ACX500 Outdoor Router Connector Screw 11. Repeat steps through step for the remaining interface cables, as required.
Page 160
Weather seal caps prevent dust and water from entering the router when the router or the interface port is not in use. Figure 49: Removing the ACX500 Outdoor Router Weather Seal Cap WARNING: Ensure that you have the weather seal caps on the cable inlet ports that are not in use.
Page 161
The cable connector unit consists of three components—the outer connector enclosure, the connector screw, and the cable seal. The front end of the outer cable connector enclosure is from where the interface cable enters the router, and the rear end with screw thread connects directly to the chassis cable port on the router.
Page 162
NOTE: Ensure that you use an outdoor installation rated and IP65-compliant waterproof fiber-optic cable with an outer diameter of 10 mm for the SFP ports, and that with an outer diameter of 6.5 mm for the RJ-45 ports for the ACX500 outdoor routers. Figure 51: Cable Connector Unit...

Before you begin connecting a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in a router, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see General Laser Safety Guidelines for Juniper Networks Devices). ACX Series routers have field-replaceable unit (FRU) optical transceivers to which you can connect fiber- optic cables.
4. Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain their shape. CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes. 4. Remove the cable connector from the transceiver. 5.
