Installation
Installing the NIP400 Line Interface Card
Cabling the NIP400
Use the NIP TX1 , NIP TX2 , NIP RX1 , and NIP RX2 25 pair connectors on the front I/O panel to
connect the eight NIP400 slots in the BROAD way chassis to your punch down blocks or DSX panels.
The NIP TX1 and NIP RX1 connectors support slots NIP-1 through NIP-4, and the NIP TX2 and NIP
RX2 connectors support slots NIP-5 through NIP-8. If you are using NIP-8 as a redundant card slot, do
not cable any interfaces to the NIP-8 slot.
For cable pinouts of NIP TX1 , NIP TX2 , NIP RX1 , and NIP RX2 , see NIP400 Connector Pinouts
(NIP TX1–RX1, NIP TX2–RX2) on page A-5.
To attach a cable to the 25 pair connectors:
1. Plug in the female amphenol cable to the 25 pair connection NIP TX1 .
2. Verify that the c-clips that slip over the right hand side of the four
connectors are closed to prevent against accidental disconnect.
3. Repeat the previous step for NIP TX2 , NIP RX1 , and NIP RX2 .
4. Dress the cables out to the left of the chassis. Connect the other
end of the cables to your terminating equipment.
5. To remove the cable, slide the top right hand corner of the c-clip to the
left to enable the cable to be easily removed otherwise damage to the
cable can result and the cable might not re-engage.
