Step 15
Connect the MU connectors on the outer side of the panel. Connect the Tx from
the line card motherboard to the Tx on the mux/demux motherboard side. Connect
the Rx line card side to the Rx on the mux/demux motherboard side.
The mux/demux expects the channels within the band boundary in a certain order,
lowest to highest. Since the 10-Gbps line card motherboard holds only two 10-GE
transponder modules, the module in subslot 0 always uses the first channel and
the module in subslot 1 uses the second channel within the four possible channels.
When you connect the MU connectors from the mux/demux motherboard to the
10-Gbps line card motherboard on the cross connect panel, you must know what
channel the 10-GE transponder module represents and cross connect to the
appropriate location.
For example, (see
) if the 10-GE transponder module installed in
subslot 0 represents channel seven, then it corresponds with the third channel
within band B (5, 6, 7, 8). You would use the MU connectors to connect the Tx
and Rx of the subslot 0 line card motherboard port to the Tx and Rx of the third
channel on the mux/demux motherboard port on the cross connect panel. If the
