Installing the BSX8000-5 in a BLC
The 12000E is a 14-slot Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC). Slots 1–12 are reserved
for access modules (such as the AIM24000-48) and slots U1 and U2 are reserved
for uplink modules. Although not required for operational purposes, if redundancy
is desired, two BSX8000-5 modules may be installed in the 12000E, in slots U1
and U2. (Note: For redundancy, the two uplink modules in the chassis must be
identical models.)
The 4000E is a five-slot BLC. Slots 1–4 are reserved for access modules and slot
U1 is reserved for a single uplink module.
Procedure
1. Align the BSX8000-5 uplink module with the slot module guides of the chosen
slot for installation (either slot U1 or U2 on the 12000E or slot U1 on the
4000E).
2. Slide the BSX8000-5 uplink module into the chassis. Do not use excessive
force.
3. Tighten the fastening screws on the BSX8000-5 uplink module faceplate.
4. Verify that the PWR (Power) LED on the BSX8000-5 faceplate is illuminated.
Connect the MIM to the Network
Connect to the core network by using one of the fixed GigE interfaces or by using
an interface from the added MIM. See
10/100/1000BaseT Connectors
on page 14.
MIM-10/100
Plug your Ethernet cable into the RJ45 Ethernet port on the MIM-10/100 faceplate.
The MIM-10/100 connects to a router or a PC with a straight-through cable and to
a hub or a switch with a crossover cable.
Verify the connection: solid illumination of the Lnk (link) LED on the MIM-10/100
faceplate indicates an Ethernet uplink connection has been established. The
MIM-10/100 Ethernet port is 10/100 auto-negotiating.
NOTE: Configure the remote device with which you are connecting to
auto-negotiate (if applicable) prior to establishing your Ethernet connection.
MIM100F
Plug your Ethernet Fiber Optic Cable into the port on the MIM100F faceplate.
MIM-2000F
The MIM-2000F is a two-port fiber gigabit Ethernet interface, which connects to
the Fast Ethernet Bus of the BLC. This will function but is not recommended for
use with the BSX8000-5 Uplink Interface.
