28 Asynchronous Transfer Mode Interface Processor (AIP) Installation and Configuration
ATM Interface Cables
Attaching Network Interface Cables to the AIP
All AIP interfaces are full duplex. You must use the appropriate ATM interface cable to connect the
AIP to an external ATM network. The AIP provides an interface to an ATM switching fabric for
transmitting and receiving data at up to 155 megabits per second (Mbps) bidirectionally. The actual
data rate is determined by the physical layer interface module (PLIM).
Connect AIP cables as shown in Figure 19.

Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture ports of the single-mode
products when no fiber cable is connected. Avoid exposure and do not stare into open apertures.
The aperture port contains a warning label, as shown in Figure 20.

Caution
To ensure compliance with EMI standards, the E3 PLIM connection requires an EMI filter
clip (CLIP-E3-EMI) on the receive port (RCVR); the DS3 PLIM connection does not require this
clip. The following procedure and figure discuss the EMI filter clip assembly that is required for the
E3 PLIM. Do not operate the E3 PLIM without this assembly.
