MIM2-A2-GZ41-00
Connecting the T1 Line
A primary feature of the MIM-2T1 is loop bonding capability, though the module
can function with a single T1 connection as well.
NOTE: A MIM-2T1 must be connected with T1 provider equipment; a connection
between the MIM-2T1 and T1 subscriber equipment will not function.
Loop Bonded Connection
Using two T1 lines for one network connection (loop bonding ) will net twice the
speed and data passing capability as a single T1 connection. A second T1 line
also provides backup should one of the lines become disabled. A MIM-2T1 can
only establish loop bonded connections with other loop bonding capable T1
provider equipment; refer to the T1 Loop Bonding Product to Product Feature
Compatibility list (Document Number COMP-A2-GK43 ).
Procedure
1. If a ferrite choke is supplied with your MIM:
— Open the ferrite choke.
— Make a loop at the end of your cables and close them in the ferrite choke.
Position the choke as close as possible to the RJ45 connectors.
— Snap shut the ferrite choke.
2. Plug your T1 cables into the T1 RJ45 ports (Port 1 and Port 2) on the MIM-2T1
faceplate; the order of connection is not important.
3. Verify both connections: the Port 1 and Port 2 Lnk LEDs on the MIM-2T1
faceplate will flash green to indicate the connections are established and
operational.
