You can order CSG 700 series appliances with an optional LTE modem module. The LTE modem modules have either
one SIM slot or two SIM slots. For modules with one SIM slot, you insert the SIM card into the SIM1 slot, which is on the
front of the appliance. For modules with two SIM slots, you insert a SIM card into each of the two SIM slots, which are
labeled SIM1 and SIM2.
Note: If the appliance has two SIM card slots, use SIM slot 1 and vni-0/100 port for bootstrapping when you upgrade the
software to a later version.
If the appliance is off when you insert the SIM card or cards, the LTE functionality is activated when you boot the
appliance. If you insert the SIM card or cards into the LTE modem module when the appliance is on and operational,
you must reboot the appliance to restart the LTE modem and LTE functionality. To do this, you must power off the
appliance, unplug the power cable, plug the power cable back in, and press the power button. Simply powering the
appliance on and off does not restart the LTE modem. Also, pressing the reset button on the appliance or rebooting the
appliance from Versa irector does not restart the LTE modem.
WiFi Access Point Module
You can order the CSG700 series appliance with the WiFi access point (AP) module. If you do so, the WiFi AP module
comes preinstalled in the SIM 2 slot on the front of the appliance.
The WiFi AP module is a dual-band module that simultaneously supports 2.4 GHz, for longer distances, and 5 GHz, for
faster throughput. It provides the following WiFi capabilities:
• WiFi radios preconfigured for 2.4-GHz or 5.0-GHz operation
• Supports FS frequency bands, enabled by default, thereby providing more frequency bands for 5-GHz radio
• Supports 802.11ac Wave 2 standard and 2x2:2 Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) for more
efficient transmission to multiple clients
• Built-in support for WiFi mesh capabilities
• Supports IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac protocols
• Supports channel bandwidth of 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 80 MHz
• Supports channel bonding with channel bandwidths of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, and 40 MHz

• Background scanning automatically selects the best and cleanest channel
• Supports up to 512 concurrent clients across both frequencies, while each radio supports up to 256 clients
• Supports up to 16 SSI s simultaneously
• Supports client steering capabilities across respective frequency bands based on load and number of clients in
each frequency thereby allowing end devices to have optimum experience
• Certified for FCC and CE
The WiFi AP module has a hardware-based cryptographic engine that includes secure boot. WiFi security is provided by
802.11i, AES-CCMP, AES-GCMP, PRNG, TKIP, WAPI, WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPS based encryption methods.
You can seamlessly integrate the WiFi AP module with Versa Operating SystemTM (VOSTM) features, including over-
the-air traffic analysis and other analytics. The VOS software provides queuing mechanisms, including weighted round-
robin (WRR). In addition, the WiFi AP module has a built-in QoS feature that prioritizes and manages over-the-air traffic.
It also has built-in spectrum analyzer capabilities to detect rogue frequencies in an environment, if desired.

If you order the CSG700 series appliance with the power over Ethernet (PoE) NIC module, an additional power supply
unit ships with the appliance.
Table 1 describes the AC power supply specifications for each power supply unit.
Table 1: CSG700 AC Power Supply Specifications
Item Specification
AC input voltage 100–240 Volts
AC input line frequency 50–60 Hz
Typical power consumption with PoE disabled 35 Watts
Typical power consumption with PoE enabled 60 Watts
Airflow Requirements
The CSG700 series appliance is made of aluminum for optimal heat dissipation.
The appliance has no fans, to minimize noise and to maximize the life of the appliance. Cooling occurs by natural airflow
through the vents on the top of the appliance.
When planning your site for installing a CSG700 series appliance in a 19-inch rack, allow a minimum of 0.5 RU space
above the appliance to allow hot air to flow out of the appliance. However, itt is recommended that you allow 1 RU space
above the appliance for cooling.
When placing a CSG700 series appliance on a desk, ensure that the vents on the top of the unit are never blocked, to
allow hot air to flow out of the appliance. Covering the vents prevents heat from dissipating out of the appliance, which
will cause the chassis to overheat and then shut down.
This article lists the small form-factor pluggable (SFP/SFP+) optics supported on the CSG700 series appliance fiber
interfaces, and it describes the remote switches that have been tested with the SFPs.
Supported 1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP Tranceivers

Compatible Remote Switches
The following switches have been tested with a 1-Gigabit Ethernet link connection to CSG700 series appliances:
• Cisco Nexus 3048T
• ell S3048 and S4128F
• Juniper EX2200
Connection Recommendations
The following are recommendations for connecting at 1-Gigabit Ethernet speeds:
• After you dynamically insert an SFP or change the SFP speed, you must disable and then reenable the VNI
interface on the CSG700 appliance.
• If the configuration on the remote device changes, you must disable and then re-enable the VNI interface on the
CSG700 appliance.
• Ensure that you have enabled the 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface in the Versa Operating SystemTM (VOSTM) software.
• For 1-Gigabit Ethernet SFPs, you must turn off autonegotiation on the remote device, and you must set the
connection speed 1-GE. For example, for Cisco switches, in the interface configuration, configure the speed to
1000:
interface Ethernet 1/25
speed 1000
For Juniper switches, configure no-auto-negotiation on the interface:
enable;
ether-options {
no-auto-negotiation;
link-mode full-duplex;
speed {
1g;
}
}
Note: Before you order units in bulk, validate connections with the target remote device in a lab or testing environment to
ensure that there are no compatibility or link issues.
