The rear panel of the vEdge 100 router has a small metal-enforced hole for attaching a Kensington lock to
secure the router.
GPS Input
The GPS antenna input on the rear panel of the router allows you to connect an external GPS antenna that has
an SMA connector. If you connect a GPS antenna to the router, it can automatically identify the router's
geographical location.
Ports and Connectors
The vEdge 100 router supports three types of ports: RJ-45 Ethernet ports, USB port, and USB serial console
port.
RJ-45 Ethernet Ports
There are five built-in RJ-45 Ethernet ports on the vEdge 100 router. These ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps
and are numbered 0 through 4. Port 0 supports PoE capability.
Figure 1 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 ports. The RJ-45 ports comply with the 801 standards.
Figure 1: RJ-45 Ports Pinout Information
USB Port
There is one USB port on the vEdge 100 router with a type A connector. The USB port complies with USB
3.0 specification.

Ports and Connectors

Console Port
The console port on the vEdge 100 router is a serial port and is accessible via a USB Mini-B connector. See
Figure 2.
Figure 2: USB Mini-B Connector
A USB Type-A to Mini-B connector cable is shipped with the vEdge 100 router as standard accessory for
console port connection.
Power Supply and Cooling System
The vEdge 100 router has an built-in AC-to-DC power supply unit. Read this article to learn more about the
AC power supply in the router as well as about the cooling system and airflow through the router chassis.
AC Power Supply in vEdge 100 Router
The vEdge 100 router has an integrated AC power supply that exposes a C6 male AC inlet connector externally.
The unit can be powered by connecting the supplied power cord to AC mains with the C5 female connector
end of power cord plugged into the unit.
Table 1 describes the AC power supply specifications for the vEdge 100 router.

AC Power Cord Specifications
The vEdge 100 router ships with a detachable AC power cord. The power cord has a C5 female connector at
one end and the other end is specific to the country/locality to which the product is shipped.
Cooling System in a vEdge 100 Router
The cooling system in a vEdge 100 router consists of internal heat sinks and an internal fan with adjustable
speed. The fan speed is algorithmically controlled, based on readings obtained from internal temperature
sensors that in turn is determined by factors such as external ambient as well as the traffic workload.

Power Supply and Cooling System

If the ambient temperature inside the chassis rises above the acceptable range, the router raises an alarm. If
the temperature inside the chassis rises above the maximum threshold temperature, the router shuts down
automatically.
General Safety Standards
Before removing or installing router modules and components, ensure that the router chassis is electrically
connected to ground. Ensure that you attach an ESD grounding strap to an ESD point and place the other end
of the strap around your bare wrist making good skin contact. Failure to use an ESD grounding strap could
result in damage to the router.
Caution
Some router components are hot-swappable and hot-insertable. You can remove and replace them without
powering off or disconnecting power to the router. Do not, however, install the router or any of its component
if they appear to be damaged.
Caution
• Install your vEdge router in compliance with the following local, national, and international electrical
codes:
• United States—National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 70), United States National Electrical
Code.
• Other countries—International Electromechanical Commission (IEC) 60364, Part 1 through Part
7.
• Evaluated to the TN power system.
• Canada—Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.
• Permit only trained and qualified personnel to install or replace switch components.
• Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. In case of an electrical
accident, quickly turn off the power.
• Disconnect power before installing or removing the router.
• If an electrical accident occurs, use caution and immediately turn off power to the router.
•Make sure that grounding surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and well-finished before grounding connections
are made.
• Do not work alone if hazardous conditions exist.
• Always check that power is disconnected from a circuit. Never assume that it is disconnected.
• Carefully inspect your work area for possible hazards, such as moist floors, worn-out power cords,
ungrounded power extension cords, and missing safety grounds.
• Operate the device within marked electrical ratings and product usage instructions.
• To ensure that the router and the FRUs function safely and correctly, use the specified cables and
connectors, and make certain they are in good condition.

General Safety Standards

Site Preparation Guidelines
Efficient operation of routers requires proper site planning and proper layout of your equipment rack or wiring
closet:
• Ensure that the area around the router is kept free of dust and conductive material.
• Follow appropriate airflow guidelines so that the cooling system functions normally.
• Follow ESD prevention procedures to avoid any damage to the router.
• Install the router in an enclosed, secure area allowing only authorized personnel to access the device.
Airflow Requirements
When planning your site for installing vEdge routers, allow enough clearance around the installed router.
Since the routers work with a front-to-back airflow there are no clearance requirements for the sides, but it is
recommended that you provide at least 3 inches of clearance at the back.
Install the vEdge 100 Router
Once you have prepared your site for router installation, unpack the vEdge 100 router and mount it either on
the wall or in a 19-inch rack.
Unpack the vEdge 100 Router
A vEdge 100 router is shipped in a cardboard carton and secured firmly in place with foam packing material.
The carton contains a packing list and Quick Start instructions. It is recommended that you do not unpack the
router till you are ready to install it.
To unpack the router:
1. Open the top flaps of the carton.
2. Gradually remove the packing foam holding the router and the accessories in place. See Figure 1.
3. Take out the router and each accessory.
4. Verify the router components against the packing list included in the box (see packing list below).

Site Preparation Guidelines

Note: It is recommended that you do not discard the shipping carton and packing material when you unpack
the router. Flatten and store the box in case you need to move or return the router in the future. See Return
Hardware .
Packing List for a vEdge 100 Router
The cardboard carton in which the router is packed includes a packing list. Check the parts you receive with
your router against the items on the packing list. The packing list specifies the part number, name, and quantity
of each item in the carton.
If any part on the packing list is missing, contact your customer service representative or contact Viptela
customer support from within the U.S. or Canada by telephone at 800-525-5033 or by email to
