Chapter 2 Installation
6. Connect switches using the P110 Exoplane cables, as shown in
Figure 2
. A
switch connects to its upper neighbor through two Exoplane cables, and to its
lower neighbor through another two Exoplane cables. Make sure you securely
fasten the cables to the connectors.
Cabling Requirements:
•
For correct operation, the P110 Exoplane must be fully connected, with all
units powered up. In case units are stacked, the P110 NMA
must
be installed
and connected to the Exoplane.
Failure to observe this requirement will cause the units to block all traffic on
attached stations and segments.
•
When using the P114T or P114F in the stack, make sure all switches in the
stack are connected using P110 Exoplane cables (part number 108362203, with
white connectors and marked C/S:B) of the type supplied with the new
switch. Extra cables can be ordered from your local Avaya representative.
•
For proper operation of the 100BASE-FX ports, the standard
requires
62.5
µ
Multimode fiber-optic cables.

the P110 Exoplane cables. A P110 NMA resides in the uppermost
switch.
7. Two terminators are supplied with the P110 NMA. Insert the two terminators
into the lowest two connectors at the bottom of the stack, as shown in
Figure 2
.
8. Turn on the mains power to the stack, by individually switching on each hub.
