Assigning 12-port DS3 or E3 fanout panel connections

Logically assign a connection from a specific slot on an FP to a specific
connection on the fanout panel, and align it with a connection to each
connection of all equipment between the fanout panel and the far-end final
termination of the FP connection.
The 12-port fanout panel has 24 connectors, a transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx)
pair for each port. When cabling Passport FPs and sparing panels, do
Tx-to-Tx and Rx-to-Rx for all equipment from the FP up to the far-end
termination of the FP connection.
The 12-port fanout panel can support three 4-port DS3 or E3 cards from any
shelves.
The sparing panel NTFP99 or NTHR79 can also be deployed as a one-for-one
fanout panel (or patch panel) provided the connections are to the Main Tx and
Rx ports.
