Installing the TIM1500 in a BAC
There must be a Multiplexer Uplink Module (MUM) installed in the Broadband
Access Concentrator (BAC) in order for interface modules to operate.
The 12000 and 12000E BACs are fourteen slot chassis. Slots 1–12 are
reserved for interface modules (such as the AIM24000), and the remaining
slots (13 and 14 in the 12000 and U1 and U2 in the 12000E) are reserved for
management modules.
The 4000 BAC is a five slot chassis; slots 1–4 are reserved for interface
modules and slot 5 is reserved for a MUM.
Interface modules are hot swappable. Installing or removing an interface module
while the chassis is powered up does not affect the operational status of other
interface modules within the chassis.
Procedure
1. Align the TIM1500 with the slot module guides of the chosen slot for
installation (slot 1–12 in the 12000 and 12000E or slot 1–4 in the 4000 and
4000E).
2. Slide the TIM1500 firmly into the chassis. Do not use excessive force.
3. Secure the TIM1500 by tightening the fastening screws on the module
faceplate.
4. Verify that the PWR (Power) LED on the TIM1500 faceplate is illuminated. If
your BAC is not yet powered up, refer to the installation instructions for your
BAC.
