Chapter 14 Connecting Cables
Making T3 or E3 Connections
To make the T3/E3 connections to each port, use the following procedure:
Step 1
Bring each cable through the opening at the bottom of the cabinet at the back and route them up the side.
Step 2
The BPX switch has velcro tie-downs inside the cabinet to hold cabling in place. Pull the tie-downs apart
as applicable, place the routed cable in position, wrap the ties around the cable and remake the loops by
pressing the two sections together.
Step 3
Connect the cables to the BNC connectors on the LM-3T3 or LM-3E3 line modules. Remember, the
RCV is an input to the BPX switch and XMT is an output from the BPX switch. The ports are numbered
from top to bottom as shown in Figure 14-1
.
