1.1.4 Airflow and cooling CAUTION The chassis uses forced air-cooling internally. It is imperative that GroomerII systems are operated with all covers fitted and that none of the ventilation holes/slots on the front, or rear of the chassis are obstructed. -
Page 7: Power Connections
Carrier grade groomerII – installation guide 1.1.5 Power connections The Carrier Grade GroomerII is supplied as either an AC or a DC powered system. The system will auto adjust to the supplied voltage in AC and DC installations (115 or 230 VAC and -48VDC, see appendix D). -
Page 8: Connecting Dc Power
Carrier Grade GroomerII – Installation Guide 1.1.8 Connecting DC power Each DC power module has a 2 pin socket as shown below (D). The mating plug is polarised, and secured by two screws to prevent accidental disconnection. Each DC power cable has two terminals to wire to the DC supply. The positive connection is carried on the red wire and the negative on the black wire. -

E1/T1 trunk connections Each connector carries connections for two trunks, which must be split into separate RJ45 connectors prior to attaching to network equipment. Please consult the GroomerII User Guide for information on identifying trunks. 11 of 44... -
Page 12: Ethernet Connections
Ethernet switch. Cabling GroomerII is connected to other network equipment via CAT 5, 5e, 6 or 6e cables. There are two types of interface and they have different pin assignments. The pin-out of the RJ45/48 connectors for both E1/T1 and Ethernet connections are detailed below. -
Page 13: 120 Ohm E1 Or 100 Ohm T1 Trunk Connections
Carrier grade groomerII – installation guide 1.7.1 120 Ohm E1 or 100 Ohm T1 trunk connections The system will be provisioned with up to three telecoms interface cards, each of which has four E1/T1 connectors. In order to provide 8 trunks per card, each connector carries the wiring for two trunks, and an external splitter cable is required to break these out to individual E1/T1 RJ45 sockets. -
Page 14: Ohm E1 Trunk Connection
Some legacy E1 PSTN networks require 75 Ohm trunk connection. The default impedance for E1 trunks in the GroomerII is 120 Ohm. It is important to confirm with the network operator which impedance the PSTN is using during the installation process, as a mismatch can lead to signal degradation and erratic equipment behaviour that is difficult to diagnose later. -

Page 16: 1000Baset Ethernet Ip Signalling Connection
Carrier Grade GroomerII – Installation Guide NOTE When connecting the VoIP traffic port to a 10/100BaseT network, the Ethernet cable adapter should be used. It must always be used when connecting to a gigabit Ethernet switch. 1.7.4 1000BaseT Ethernet IP signalling connection There will be a single IP signalling connection per system, and this connector carries an eight wire Ethernet connection, which does not require an external splitter. -
Page 17: Rj45 Connector Orientation
If connected to network equipment that is not Gigabit capable, the interface will attempt to negotiate the highest data rate available. The GroomerII VoIP traffic interfaces are designed to operate at Fast Ethernet (100Base-T) data rates. If connected to network equipment that is not Fast Ethernet capable, the interface will attempt to negotiate a 10Base-T link speed. -

Page 23: Common Set-Up Problems
2.7.2 ISDN network/user conflict Many E1/T1 ISDN signalling protocols have asymmetric user and network end configurations. By default, the GroomerII will be configured to user end where there is a configuration option. The system configuration for each E1/T1 ISDN interface can be changed via the system configuration file. -
