Attach panel to wall.
Lift the panel and align the holes in
the mounting ears with the drilled holes in the wall, then
insert and tighten the mounting screws (not provided).
- GROUNDING NOTE -
Always follow local safety precautions and standard operating proce-
dures for grounding the equipment when installing, upgrading, repairing
or maintaining equipment. Any instructions or information contained
herein is subordinate to local codes, operating procedures or practices.
2.4
Making Ground Connections
2.4.1
The Westell VE panels are shipped with a ground lug
(in a bag of parts) that accepts a #6 ground wire for wall-mount
applications. The installer should locate the ground lug and
hex-nut from the bag of parts shipped with the panel and install
the lug on the post located on the panel’s inside wall, securing
the lug to the post with the nut (see Figure 3). The installer then
makes an earth/chassis ground connection to the lug using a #6
ground wire, per local local company practice and installation
procedures for equipment grounding and bonding.
2.4.2
If the VE panel is installed in a relay rack, the #6
ground lug and nut is not required, but a bond wire may be used
to connect the VE panel’s chassis to the common ground or
bond for the relay rack or cabinet, per local procedures.
2.5
Making Installer Connections
After the panel is mounted, installer connections can be made
to the VE-2848C-K6, as explained in the paragraphs below.
Refer to Figure 5 as needed.
- CAUTION -
Use care when installing and removing couplers, jacks, and
connectors -
do not force into place
. If resistance is
encountered, check for debris in or near the coupler or hole.
Then gently re-insert the coupler, jack, or connector.
2.5.1
Installing Couplers
Provided with the VE-2848C-K6 panel is a detachable LGX-
type panel which contains 6 Keystone-type coupler positions
(see Figure 8) equipped with blank hole covers. Order and
install couplers per the specific application, company practice,
or service desired. Follow the steps below to install the couplers
in the panel.
1. Call Westell to order the couplers of choice to insert into
the panel for the specific application (see Table 4).
2. Remove the LGX-type panel by pulling on the two Nylatch
fasteners at the side of the panel.
3. Remove (from the rear) the blank hole cover from the
LGX-type panel’s first Keystone-type hole position.
4. At the rear of the LGX-type panel, align the first coupler
with the first empty hole, angle the back of the coupler
down so its top angled tab fits under the hole’s top edge,
then press the coupler into the hole until it snaps in place.
5. Repeat Steps 3-4 for all couplers to be installed.
6. Re-install the LGX-type panel onto the VE

.
7. Order and use optional D-rings, a lacer bar, or a front tray
(see Part 3) for cable management of any cable slack.
8. Use the circuit ID card to identify all coupler positions.
2.5.2
Connecting Network/Telco Cables
Network/Telco connections are made to the female Amphenol
connectors at the back of the VE-2848C-K6 panel (Figure 6).
See Table 2 for lead designations, pin-outs, and wire colors for
the Amphenol connectors, and to Figure 5 as needed.
1.
Prepare upstream connection.
Remove the protective
connector insert or cover from the back of the DS1 OUT
connector at the rear of the MUX (or upstream equip-
ment).
2.
Connect cable to panel’s XMT OUT connector.
Route a
male, 32-pair, Amphenol cable from the MUX (or up-
stream equipment) to the female, 32-pair, Amphenol
XMT OUT connector at the back of the Westell
VE2848-CK6 panel, then connect the connectors.
