WARNING: This Quick Start contains a summary of safety warnings in "Safety

The ACX Universal Metro Router is principally designed for high-density access and pre-aggregaon and
is environmentally hardened. The router can be used as a cell site router or pre-aggregaon device for
mobile backhaul and a CPE for business or residenal access.
The routers are single-board routers with a built-in Roung 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 ACX Series router is powered by Junos OS, supporng extensive L2 and L3 features, IP/MPLS with
trac engineering, rich network management, fault management, service monitoring and Operaon,
Administraon, and Maintenance (OAM) capabilies, and an open soware development kit (SDK)
system that allows providers to customize and integrate operaons with their own management
systems. For a list of related Junos OS documentaon, see hps://www.juniper.net/documentaon/
soware/junos/.
As part of the mobile backhaul, the ACX Series router at the cell site and the MX Series router at the
aggregaon layer provide comprehensive end-to-end Ethernet, MPLS, and OAM features with the one
Junos OS running on both plaorms.
The compact routers are one rack unit (U; that is, 1.75 in., or 4.45 cm) tall. Several routers can be
stacked in a single oor-to-ceiling rack for increased port density per unit of oor space.
The ACX1000 and ACX1100 routers contain twelve Gigabit Ethernet ports, eight of which are RJ-45
ports. The ports labeled COMBO PORTS provide an addional four RJ-45 ports or four Gigabit Ethernet
SFP ports. You can only use one set of combinaon ports at a me.
The ACX1000 router also contains eight T1/E1 ports.
