The routing of the fiber link cable should go through or beside the fan cover
grill. This route is preferred because it isolates the fiber link froth the other
fiber cables. There is no problem with running the fiber link behind the
Passport 7480 if another route must be used.
The software configuring of the Passport 7400 and the Passport 15000 is
different. Any tools you use to configure the network must be able to adapt
both sets of configuration commands.
The fiber link between a Passport 15000 or 20000 and a Shasta 5000 can be
made using an external OC-3 connection between a Passport 15000 OC-3
function processor (FP) and a Shasta 5000 OC-3 line card. The fiber cable
requires SC connectors at each end. You must provide the customized fiber
cable and connectors.
Before installing the interface cables and connecting them, the EdgeLink 100
multiplexor must be mounted and the DS3 function processor (FP) with BNC
connectors of the Passport 15000 or 20000 must already be installed. The part
number of the mux is NTPV02. For the installation of an EdgeLink 100, refer
to Telco Systems' documentation, starting with the document EdgeLink 100
Digital Multiplexer General Description, section 825-102-001.
The EdgeLink interfaces to a DS3 function processor (FP) with BNC
connectors in the Passport 15000 or 20000 and to an RJ48 termination
through an access panel. The RJ48 connections are either:
• 64-pin Cinch or wirewrap to an RJ48 T1 access panel with monitor jacks
(part number A0718812)
• 64-pin Cinch or wirewrap to an RJ48 T1 access panel (part number
A0718813)
The interface cables that connect an EdgeLink 100 to the Passport or the
Ethernet hub of a Preside Multiservice Data Manager are listed in the table
"Interface cables between a Passport 15000 or 20000 and an EdgeLink 100"
(page 145). Two cables are required, one for transmitting and one for
receiving.
