Option 11C ISDN BRI Administration and Maintenance
Connecting Option 11 cables to the cross-connect terminal
The following procedure describes how to connect the cables from the Option
11 cabinet to the cross-connect terminal.
Each card slot equipped with a SILC or UILC requires one NE-A25B 25-pair
connector cable. The cables are connected to connectors located at the bottom
of the cabinet and are routed through the openings in the lower part of the
cabinet. Each connector is assigned to its corresponding card slot (example:
connector J8 is assigned to card slot 8).
Connecting the cables
1 Remove the connector retaining bar from the connector panel in the
lower part of each cabinet. See Figures 29, 30, and Figure 31.
2 Connect an NE-A25B cable to each of the connectors associated with
a card slot containing a SILC or UILC circuit card. See Figures 29,
30, and Figure 31.
Make sure to tag both ends of each cable with the cabinet and connector
numbers.
3 Route the cables down through the opening at the bottom of the
cabinet.
4 Replace the retaining bar when you have connected all the cables to
the cabinet.
5 Terminate the 25-pair cables installed at the cross-connect terminal.
6 Label the cross-connect terminal for each connector (UILC or
SILC).
Figures 32 and 33 show the label used with the BIX cross connecting
system.
Note: Use of the BIX cross-connect system is not mandatory. The
Option 11 is designed to be used with other types of cross-connect
equipment. Refer to the documentation provided with your cross-connect
system for connection information.
