Connecting the E1 Lines
The primary feature of the network extender is loop bonding capability, although both the
provider and subscriber units are able to function with a single E1 connection.
Loop Bonded Connection
Using multiple E1 lines for one network connection (loop bonding) multiplies the speed
and data passing capability of the network extender. Multiple E1 lines also act as a
backup should any of the lines become disabled.
A network extender can only establish loop bonded connections with other Paradyne
equipment with the loop bonding feature. See
Product to Product E1 Loop Bonding
Compatibility
(document number COMP-A2-GK43).
Procedure
1.
Plug the E1 cables into the E1 Connections RJ45 ports on the back of the network
extender. The order of connection is not important.
2.
Verify all connections: the E1 Connections Lnk/Alm LEDs on the front of the
network extender will pulse green to indicate the connections are established and
operational.
