Installing Fantails
This section explains how to mount and connect fantails in your LS2020 switch (see Figure 2-4).
Fantails provide connectors for data cables on low-speed (V.35, X.21 and EIA/TIA-449) lines and
T3 lines that are attached to cell line card/T3 access cards in an LS2020 switch.
If your system has no low-speed or cell line card/T3 modules, skip to the section "Attaching Data
