ACX500 Routers Quick Start Description
This Quick Start contains information you need to install and configure the ACX500 outdoor router with
PoE quickly. For complete installation instructions, see the ACX500 Universal Metro Router Hardware Guide
at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/.
WARNING: This Quick Start contains a summary of safety warnings in “Safety Warnings”
on page 25. For a complete list of warnings for this router, including translations, see the
ACX500 Universal Metro Router Hardware Guide at
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/.
The Juniper Networks ACX Series Universal Metro Routers are Ethernet-optimized mobile backhaul routers
that provide both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The ACX Series routers enable a wide range
of business and residential applications and services, including microwave cell site aggregation, mobile
backhaul service cell site deployment, and service provider or operator cell site deployment. The routers
have high-density Ethernet interfaces and high-capacity switching throughput.
An ACX Series router has a built-in Routing Engine and one Packet Forwarding Engine. The Packet
Forwarding Engine has one “pseudo” Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC 0). Because there is no switching
fabric, the single Packet Forwarding Engine takes care of packet forwarding.
The compact ACX500 outdoor routers with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support are environmental-hardened,
and can be deployed in an outdoor environment, such as on walls and poles. You need to purchase the
pole-mounting kit or the wall-mounting kit from Juniper Networks to mount the router in an outdoor
environment. The ACX500 outdoor router with PoE meets the International Protection Code (IP65) for
dust-tight enclosures and ingress of water jets.
With the router orientation as shown in Figure 3 on page 6, the chassis of the ACX500 outdoor router
with PoE measures 16 in. (40.64 cm) high, 4.7 in. (11.93 cm) deep, and 10 in. (25.4 cm) wide. The router
is available in both AC and DC models.
The ACX500 outdoor routers with PoE contain three Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports labeled GE, and three
RJ-45 ports that support PoE+ which are also labeled GE. Out of the three RJ-45 ports, the port labeled
0/1/0 support PoE++, and the ports labeled 0/1/1 and 0/1/2 support PoE+ with a maximum 80 W of
system PoE power limit.
Figure 1 on page 4 shows the bottom view of the router.

Step 1: Prepare the Site for Installation
Prepare your site for installation by observing the following guidelines:
•When choosing a location, allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between the sides of the chassis
(with the router in installed position) and adjacent equipment or walls.
•Ensure that the wall or the pole onto which the router is installed is stable and securely supported.
•Ensure that the wall or pole is able to carry the load of the fully configured router.
•If you are mounting the router in wallboard with a gypsum plaster core or in wallboard not backed by
wall studs, use hollow wall anchors capable of supporting the combined weight of two fully loaded
chassis. Insert the screws into wall studs wherever possible to provide added support for the chassis.
•The width of the pole must be within the range of 2 in. through 16 in. for the pole-mounting brackets
to fit properly.
•To mount the router, use the pole-mounting kit or the wall-mounting kit from Juniper Networks.
•The pole-mounting kit and the wall-mounting kit are not part of the standard package and must be
ordered separately.
•One person must be available to lift the router while another secures the router.
•For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, and to access interface ports, allow
at least 24 in. (60.9 cm) on top of the router.
•When installing the ACX500 outdoor routers on a pole or on a wall, the chassis must be installed in a
vertical orientation with the cables pointing downward and the eye bolt for hoisting the router pointing
upward. See Figure 3 on page 6.

Step 2: Install the Router
Based on your requirement, you can mount the ACX500 outdoor router either on a wall or on a pole:
•On a pole—You can mount the ACX500 outdoor router with PoE on a suitable telephone, an electrical,
or an utility pole with the help of the pole-mounting kit. The pole-mounting kit is sold separately. It is
not shipped with the ACX500 outdoor router.
•On a wall—You can mount the ACX500 outdoor router with PoE on a suitable wall with the help of a
wall-mounting kit. The wall-mounting kit is sold separately. It is not shipped with the ACX500 outdoor
router.
For complete and detailed installation instructions, see the ACX500 Universal Metro Router Hardware Guide
at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/.
NOTE: When installing the ACX500 outdoor router with PoE, keep the following guidelines in
mind:
•The router must not be installed until all unused chassis cable openings are closed with the
weather seal caps (cap with washer) to ensure protection of the interior of the router from the
environment. Leaving chassis cable ports uncovered will damage the router.
•You need access to the management components only when there is a need to perform any
monitoring or upgradation task on the router. Other than that, the management port chamber
must always be kept closed and sealed to protect the internal ports from dust and water.
•The ACX500 outdoor router will 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.
•Use certified outdoor enclosure (PDU or AC/DC connection box) for covering the AC and DC
input wire terminals at the power source end of the power cable. Ensure that the L, N, and earth
wire terminals of the AC power cable are connected properly to the respective L, N, and earth
of the AC power source. Similarly, ensure that the positive (+) and the negative (–) DC source
power cables are correctly connected to the respective positive (+) and the negative (–) DC power
source. A faulty connection might damage the router and can cause shock hazard and severe
injury.
•When installing the router outdoors, the branch circuit that powers the unit must have ground
fault protection according to the local and national electrical codes (for example NEC code).
Ensure that overcurrent protection fuse in the branch circuit is not greater than 20 A.
•If you are installing the GPS antenna, ensure that the antenna is located at a location away from
overhead power lines.

Connect the Grounding Cable
You ground the router by connecting a grounding cable to earth ground and then attaching it to the chassis
grounding points. To ground the ACX500 outdoor router:
1. Verify that a licensed electrician has terminated and attached the two-hole grounding lug with the
6 AWG ground wire.
2. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD
grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
3. Ensure that all grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before you make grounding
connections.
4. Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
5. Detach the ESD grounding strap from the site ESD grounding point.
6. Place the grounding lug over the grounding points on the back of the chassis (see Figure 5 on page 11).
NOTE: The grounding point location on the ACX500 routers is the same for both the AC and
the DC models.
7. To protect the router from rust and corrosion, perform the following steps:
a. Clean both the mating surfaces (the grounding lug and the ACX500 outdoor router’s grounding
terminals).
b. Apply a thin film (1 mm or 0.04 in.) of corrosion-preventing compound, such as NO-OX-ID, on the
router’s grounding terminals.
c. Press the lug onto the conductive surface unit to force out the excess corrosive-preventing
compound.
8. Secure the grounding lug with the washers and screws. The holes are sized for SAE 10-32 screws.
Apply 4 lb-in. (0.49 Nm) of torque to each screw. Do not overtighten the screw. (Use a number 2 Phillips
screwdriver.)
