Cisco 3270 Rugged Router Card Power Requirements
The Cisco 3270 Rugged Router card uses +3.3 V, +5 V, and +12 V power sources. Typical power 
consumption is 20
 W. The maximum calculated wattage is 26.5 W.
Power Connections (AUX)
The speed of the AUX port for the Cisco 3270 Rugged Router card can be configured as 2400, 4800, 
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, or 460800
 bps. Use the line aux linenumber speed 
command to modify the speed of the port.
A +5V power supply is provided for devices connected to the AUX port. A Global Positioning System 
(GPS) modem is used as an example in this section. Typically the +5V power supply current to GPS 
modems should be limited to less than 200
 mA. 
Table 2-2 shows the pin assignments for power on the AUX port.
Hardware Encryption Processor
The Cisco 3270 Rugged Router card integrated security engine (SEC 2.0) is optimized to handle all the 
algorithms associated with IPSec, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS), Secure 
Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), 802.11i, Internet SCSI (iSCSI), and Internet key exchange (IKE) 
processing. The security engine contains four crypto channels, a controller, and a set of crypto execution 
units (EUs).
The SEC can act as a master on the internal bus. This allows the SEC to alleviate the data movement 
bottleneck normally associated with slave-only cores. The host processor accesses the SEC through its 
device drivers, using system memory for data storage. The SEC resides in the peripheral memory map 
of the processor; therefore, when an application requires cryptographic functions, it creates descriptors 
for the SEC that define the cryptographic function to be performed and the location of the data. 
The SEC bus-mastering capability permits the host processor to set up a crypto channel with a few short 
register writes, leaving the SEC to perform reads and writes on system memory to complete the required 
task.
