All systems use the same carrier hardware. The cable routing and the
location of the I/O panel assemblies is different.
For the Carrier Remote IPE cabinet, two cables connect P2 and P3
backplane connectors to the I/O panel connectors installed on a bracket
at the lower left-hand side of the cabinet backplane as shown in
"Carrier Remote IPE cabinet" (page
Subscriber loops at the Remote IPE are connected to 50-pin connectors
on the I/O panel at the rear of the module or at the bottom front
of the cabinet as in standard hardware. For more details about
subscriber connections to the local system and the Remote IPE, refer to
Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1 Large System Installation
and Commissioning (NN43021-310) ().
Select one of two options for the Remote IPE enclosure:
•
Carrier Remote IPE column
•
Carrier Remote IPE cabinet
Carrier Remote IPE column
Floor-standing Carrier Remote IPE column includes a pedestal, one or
more standard NT8D37 IPE Modules, and a top cap. The IPE module
houses a maximum of 16 line cards and a Remote Carrier Interface card.
Each Remote Carrier Interface card supports IPE cards in only one IPE
module. Therefore, each IPE module requires a Remote Carrier Interface
card and one to three T1 or E1 carrier links.
The T1 or E1 carrier link is connected to the Remote Carrier Interface card
through the carrier connectors located on the I/O panel at the rear of the
IPE module. A cable connects the Remote Carrier Interface card through
the backplane to the I/O panel at the rear of the IPE module to establish a
connection to the carrier link.

and the IPE cards already installed.
