MIM4-A2-GZ42-00
Connecting the E1 Lines
A primary feature of the MIM-4E1 is loop bonding capability, though the module
can function with a single E1 connection as well.
NOTE: A MIM-4E1 must be connected with E1 provider equipment; a connection
between the MIM-4E1 and E1 subscriber equipment will not function.
Loop Bonded Connection
Using multiple E1 lines for one network connection (loop bonding ) multiplies the
speed and data passing capability of the connection. Multiple E1 lines also provide
backup should any of the lines become disabled. A MIM-4E1 can only establish
loop bonded connections with other loop bonding capable E1 provider equipment;
refer to the E1 Loop Bonding Product to Product Feature Compatibility list
(Document Number COMP-A2-GK43 ).
Procedure
1. If ferrite chokes are supplied with your MIM:
— Open a ferrite choke.
— One or two cables will fit in 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 RJ48C connectors.
— Snap shut the ferrite choke.
2. Plug your E1 cables into the E1 RJ48C ports on the MIM-4E1 faceplate; the
order of connection is not important.
3. Verify all connections: the Port 1 and Port 2 Lnk LEDs on the MIM-4E1
faceplate will flash green to indicate the connections are established and
operational.
Single E1 Connection
A single line connection may be established between a MIM-4E1 and Paradyne’s
E1 provider equipment (stand-alone or IP DSLAM module), regardless of loop
bonding capability.
