Fiber Optic Cable Attachment:
Connect the fiber cables between the Flex Point T1/E1 converters. The transmit (Tx)
must attach to the receive (Rx) side and the receive (Rx) side must attach to the transmit
(Tx) side.
Note:
Use fiber cables that are compliant with the specifications that are outlined in fiber
cable specifications.
Copper Cable Attachment:
RJ-45 / RJ-48 T1 / E1 connector
Connect to the RJ-45/48 connector on the Flex Point T1/E1 converter via a category 3 or
better cable (Category 5 is recommended) and attach the other end to the network
equipment. (the twisted pair connection requires two active pairs in a T1/E1
environment. The active pairs are pins 1&2 and pins 4&5. Only dedicated wire pairs
should be used for the active pins.) Set the UTP DCE/DTE switch for the RJ-45/48 port
to the appropriate setting.
Note:
Use copper cables that are compliant with the specifications that are outlined in
copper cable specifications.
Coax E1 Connector
Attach the BNC to the Flex Point T1/E1 converter and attach the other end of the BNC to
the network equipment.
Note:
Use copper cables that are compliant with the specifications that are outlined in
copper cable specifications.
Switch Settings:
UTP DCE/DTE setting
The UTP DCE/DTE switch is used to eliminate the need for crossover and custom cables
to connect devices together when using the RJ-45/48 port. Set this switch to DCE to use
a straight-through cable and to DTE when a crossover-cable would be required.
