Connecting Nodes Through Multiservice Switch 15000 Vss; Connecting Multiservice Switch 15000 Or Multiservice Switch 20000 Node To A Ser 5500 - Nortel 15000 Hardware Description

of BNC cables to a mini-coax on these cable assemblies are indicated for the
cabling procedures in NN10600-175 Nortel Networks Multiservice Switch
7400 Hardware Installation, Maintenance, and Upgrade.
After the cable is connected and the FPs have been power tested and loaded
with software, have the software operator configure the port or ports at each
FP to be the same type of ATM trunk or ATM bearer services trunk. Choose
the type of trunk that provides appropriate interworking capabilities. To
configure trunks for inter-nodal communication, refer to NN10600-420 Nortel
Networks Multiservice Switch 7400/15000/20000 Operations: Trunking.

Connecting nodes through Multiservice Switch 15000 VSS

The fiber link between a Multiservice Switch 15000 node and the Multiservice
Switch 7480 node within a Nortel Networks Multiservice
Switch 15000 Variable Speed Switch (VSS) can be made using an external
OC-3 connection between OC-3 single-mode or multi-mode function
processors (FPs). The fiber cable requires SC connectors at each end. You
must provide the customized fiber cable and connectors.
If the OC-3 card pair has different reaches (SR, IR, or LR), see NN10600-175
Nortel Networks Multiservice Switch 7400 Hardware Installation,
Maintenance, and Upgrade for how to determine when to use inline
attenuators. You must provide your own attenuators.
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 Multiservice
Switch 7480 if another route must be used.
The software configuring of Multiservice Switch 7400 series nodes and
Multiservice Switch 15000 nodes is not the same. Any tools you use to
configure the network must be able to adapt both sets of configuration
commands.
Connecting Multiservice Switch 15000 or Multiservice Switch 20000 node
to a SER 5500
The fiber link between a Nortel Networks Multiservice Switch 15000 or
Multiservice Switch 20000 node to a SER 5500 can be made using an
external OC-3 connection between a Multiservice Switch 15000 OC-3
function processor (FP) and a SER 5500 OC-3 line card. The fiber cable
requires SC connectors at each end. You must provide the customized fiber
cable and connectors.
