Cabling the SRP I/O Module
External Timing Ports
The next step in cabling the system is to connect cables to your SRP I/O
module. See
Figure
4-3.
Note: The alarm function on the SRP I/O module is currently not implemented.
Cable connections to your SRP I/O module are divided into two sections:
external timing ports and console ports.
specifications for each section.

Description
External Timing
•
Two 3-pin wire-wrap posts for US external clock sources;
Ports
primary (A) and secondary (B)
•
Two BNC connectors for E1 clock sources; primary (A) and
secondary (B)
Console Ports
•
One 10/100Base-T Ethernet management port with an RJ-48C
connector
•
One RS-232 port with a DB-9 connector for VT100 management
access
Two external clock source input ports provide a method of ensuring that
the system's clock timing remains synchronized with the network's system
clock. The primary clock is labeled A; the secondary, redundant clock is
labeled B. Use the connector type appropriate for your location:
•
Two 75-ohm E1 2.048-Mbps inputs with BNC connectors
•
Two 100-ohm T1 inputs with three pin wire-wrap connectors. Pins are
labeled T (Tip), G (Ground), and R (Ring). We recommend using
26-AWG wire minimum.
Note: Use shielded cables to connect the external clock sources to the clock
source input ports.
