Chapter 14 Connecting Cables
Making a BXM OC-3 or OC-12 Connection
To make BXM OC-3 or OC-12 connections, use the following procedure:
Step 1
At the back of the cabinet, route each cable up the inside of the cabinet, as applicable.
Step 2
The Cisco cabinet has tie-downs inside the cabinet to hold cabling in place. If using a Cisco cabinet, 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 applicable connectors on the 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
.
Step 4
Record which slot and port number you are using for each trunk or line. You will need this information
later when configuring the network.
A Y-Cable redundancy connection for the SMF-2-BC back card is shown in Figure 14-3.
