Cabling the Acme Packet 4600 System
After mounting the Acme Packet 4600 in an equipment rack and installing all
components into the chassis, connect all appropriate data cables to the ports before
powering the system up and configuring it.
Acme Packet recommends using fully shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables for
NIU media and management Ethernet connections to protect the Acme Packet 4600
from potential damage.
You can install and remove Ethernet and GbE optical cables while the Acme Packet
4600 is operational. Not every port needs to be utilized for proper operation. However,
when a cable is disconnected and the link is lost, an alarm is generated.
