Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Cabling and IRDP Procedures
for Medium Hardware Platform AXmp Option
Feature History
This feature module is intended for use by service provider engineering and field personnel who are
responsible for designing, installing, configuring, and maintaining networks that use the Cisco BTS
10200 Softswitch. The procedure in this feature module describes how to cable the medium hardware
platform systems based on the Continuous Computing AXmp servers. This document is in addition to
other Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch documents that describe how to install and operate the system.
Contact your Cisco account team for the documentation applicable to your specific system.
Scope and Purpose
This procedure is applicable to Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch systems that are installed on Continuous
Computing host machines, and using 2 Ethernet interfaces on each Call Agent (CA) host, and 2 Ethernet
interfaces on each Element Management System (EMS) host.
Note If you are not sure about the number of interfaces to use on your system, or if you are using host
machines that are not Continuous Computing-based, contact your Cisco account team for
clarification.
This procedure is not applicable to Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch systems that are already in service.
Caution Do not use this procedure to change the cabling of an in-service Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch, because
that will cause interruption of service. It is not necessary to change the cabling of in-service systems to
match this document.
An example of equipment mounting for the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch is shown in Figure 1.
Version Modification
Release 3.x The medium hardware platform AXmp/AXi option was used with optional
dedicated SS7 cables.
Release 4.1 In Release 4.1, SS7 signaling is sent via SIGTRAN to an Internet transfer point
(ITP), therefore, dedicated SS7 cables are not attached to the Cisco BTS 10200
Softswitch. These cables have been deleted from this document.
In Release 4.1, four AXmp units are used (instead of two AXmp and two AXi).
