Cloud Services Modem 64 Series

At a Glance

The Cloud Services Modem 64 (CSM64) series enables high performance 5G WAN connectivity for enterprises connected with Versa secure SD-WAN. The CSM64 series supports FR1/sub-6 class 5G-based connectivity and can operate in standalone or non-standalone mode for deployments that require high performance, flexibility, and agility.

The CSM64 series is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE) with selected CSG series appliances and CSG NICs. The CSM64 appliance can connect to the PoE-enabled CSG appliance with a standard Ethernet cable, consume power from the network appliance, and does not need any alternative power source. Other PoE sources, such as a PoE Ethernet switch or a PoE injector, can also be used to connect to CSM64 series appliances. You can connect the CSM64 series appliance to a VOS appliance for WAN connectivity. Depending on the network topology and power requirements, you can also connect a CSM64 series appliance to the switch infrastructure.

The Kensington security lock on the left-side panel of a CSM64 series appliance is a small metal-enforced hole for attaching a physical lock to secure the appliance.

Table 1 lists the functions and features of the CSM64 series:

CSM64 series appliances with the installed 5G module are certified to be operated across different geographic regions. These appliances are firmware-based smart modems that allow updates to cover patches, introduce new features, and adapt to changes in carrier network deployments. The embedded 5G module supports in-device upgrades driven by the CLI or GUI, or over the air (OTA) upgrades to facilitate easy firmware updates. Firmware-based operation allows Versa Networks modems to connect to 5G, LTE-A Pro, LTE-A, LTE, and 4G networks with flexibility.

The Versa Networks 5G module also supports security features such as secure boot for anti-tamper protection.

CSM64 Appliance Models

The CSM64 series appliance is available in the following models:

CSM64—For indoor deployments
CSM64b—For outdoor deployments

Chassis Views

Front Panel

The front panel of a CSM64 series appliance has two inputs for RF connector antennas and two nano-SIM card slots, as shown in Figure 1:

Figure 1: Front Panel of CSM64 Series Appliance

SIM Card Slots

The CSM64 series appliance has two externally accessible nano-SIM card slots, while only one SIM card is active and connected. If you insert SIM cards in SIM1 and SIM2, administrators can configure the SIM slot for connecting to the mobile network. The SIM card chosen for 5G connection can be switched dynamically based on predefined criteria.

Note: It is recommended that you use only preactivated 5G SIMs in the SIM card slots. After you insert the SIM cards, they are auto-detected by the platform, and the platform connects to the recognized 5G (or LTE-A Pro/LTE-A/ LTE/4G) network.

Rear Panel

Figure 2 shows the rear panel of the CSM64 series appliance.

The CMS64 series appliances are powered using a 12V 1A DC adapter or a PoE injector. The appliance supports 802.3 at PoE+ (30 W).

Installation Guidelines

You can install the CSM64 series appliance within the site to enhance signal coverage, subject to Ethernet distance limitations. Typical deployment preference for CSM64 is closer to windows facing signal reception path and façade.

You can mount a CSM64 appliance on a wall or ceiling, or you can keep it on a desk. For mounting on a wall or ceiling, the appliance is shipped with a wall/ceiling mount accessory and four M3 screws.

To mount a CSM64 appliance on a wall or ceiling, and to connect:

Attach the mount accessory to the wall or ceiling using the four M3 screws that are shipped with the appliance. Do not overtighten the screws.
Apply the mount accessory to the wall or ceiling.
Attach the CSM64 appliance to the mount accessory using the provided hooks, and gently press down to complete the pairing procedure. You should hear a mechanical click sound indicating that the appliance is correctly joined to the mount accessory.
Install the antennas and Ethernet cable for the PoE injector to a router or switch with PoE.

Or use the 12V DC adapter and the Ethernet cable to provide connectivity to other equipment.

After mounting and connecting the CSM64 series appliance, you can check the operation and status of the appliance. See LEDs.
