Install Patch Panels

Patch panels are arrays of RJ45 jacks and associated B25A cabling to accommodate 2-wire,
24-port DCP/analog port boards and 8-port analog trunk boards. They are mounted either below
or above the media gateway stack. They cannot be mounted in between media gateways.
Refer to
1 Using the supplied mounting screws, mount the patch panels on the rack below media
gateway A.
2 Attach B25A cables to the patch panels and the circuit pack amphenol connectors.
NOTE:
Connect 24 port DCP/analog circuit packs to the 24 port patch panels.
NOTE:
Connect 8 port analog trunk, "combo," or DID trunk circuit packs to either of the first two
banks on the 8 port patch panel. If an 8 port BRI trunk circuit pack (TN2185B) is present,
connect it to the third bank on the 8 port patch panel.
NOTE:
The patch panels do not have to be mounted in the same rack as the chasses. They can be
mounted in phone closets as appropriate.
