Network module connections
Network Group 0: Shelf 0 to Shelf 1
Connecting the 3PE faceplates in the Core/Net modules
NN43021-310
Standard 06.01
Cabling network modules and loops
Each multi-group system contains between two and eight Network groups.
Group 0 is contained in the Core/Net modules. Groups 1 through 7 are
contained in the Network modules. Each Network group is comprised of two
Network shelves: Shelf 0 and Shelf 1.
The Core/Net modules contain Network Group 0: Shelf 0 is in Core/Net 0,
Shelf 1 is in Core/Net 1. Shelf 0 must be connected to Shelf 1 for Network
Group 0 to operate correctly.
Connecting network Group 0: Shelf 0 to Shelf 1 involves:
1
"Connecting the 3PE faceplates in the Core/Net modules" on
2
"Connecting the Core/Net backplanes" on
The 3PE cards in the Core/Net modules must be directly connected with an
NT8D80 cable. See Figure 129 on
between the Group 0 shelves (in the Core/Net modules).
Procedure 66
Connecting the 3PE faceplates in the Core/Net modules
1
Connect a NT8D80 cable from the J4 port in the Core/Net 0 3PE card to
J4 port in the Core/Net 1 3PE card.
2
Connect a second NT8D80 cable from the J3 port in Core/Net 0 to the J3
port in Core/Net 1.
Note: The 3PE cards are located in Core/Net slot 11.
