This chapter explains how to connect the cards.
4.1 Making Card Connections
The following describes how to connect the DSL line cards to the splitter chassis cards. For the management switch
card, refer to the card’s
User’s Guide for instructions on making the connections.
4.1.1 DSL Line Card Connections
Use the optional Telco-50 cable to connect the DSL line card’s front panel Telco-50 connector to the corresponding
splitter card’s front panel Telco-50 connector. See the hardware specifications in the appendices for what lengths of
ZyXEL’s optional Telco-50 cables to use.
Make sure that you use the appropriate length Telco-50 cables with the DSL line cards in the IES-
2500; using cables of the wrong length blocks access to other cards.
