Cabling A Nic Module - Juniper G10 CMTS Getting Started

Cabling a NIC Module

The NIC Module contains two full-duplex, 1-Gigabit Ethernet GBIC (Gigabit Interface
Converter) transceiver ports on its front panel. Refer to the Juniper Networks G10 CMTS
Installation and Configuration manual for the specifications of the various types of GBIC
interfaces provided.
The following procedure describes how to connect the network cables to these ports (refer to
Figure 14 on page 26 for port labeling):
1.
2.
3.
4.
Figure 15 on page 27 provides the front view of the chassis with the network cables installed
into a NIC Module.
Carefully thread each of the two cables into the cable channel from the rear of the
chassis (refer to Figure 3 on page 4) until they extend through the opening of the power
supply faceplate.
Connect the transmit/receive pair of each of these cables to the GBIC ports labeled "0"
and "1" on the NIC Module.
Attached the other end of each cable to its respective network equipment in the
headend.
If using optical cables, take care not to bend the cables too
sharply when threading them through the cable channel.
Repeat this process if another NIC Module is installed in the chassis.
Both ports on each NIC Module must be connected to the
network if redundancy is desired.
