Carrier Remote IPE cabinet
Each Remote Carrier Interface card supports up to 16 IPE cards.
TheNT1P70/NT1P60 main Carrier Remote IPE cabinet houses an NT7R52
Remote Carrier Interface card and up to 10 IPE cards. This cabinet is the
same as used in the Fiber Remote Carrier IPE application. The cabinet is
then modified for the Carrier Remote IPE application by simply replacing
the existing I/O bracket with NT7R94AA Remote Cabinet Cable Assembly.
If additional IPE cards are required, use the NTBK70 expansion cabinet,
which can house up to six additional cards in card slots 10 through 15.
Card slots 16 through 19 in the expansion cabinet are not configurable
and must not be used. The main and the expansion cabinets are
interconnected by a cable that plugs into the P1 connector located in the
lower left-hand corner of each cabinet's backplane.
The T1 or E1 carrier link is connected to the Remote Carrier Interface card
through P2 and P3 backplane connectors. These backplane connectors
are connected to the I/O panel, which is mounted on a bracket at the lower
left-hand corner of the cabinet backplane.
Carrier Remote IPE main and expansion cabinets can be AC or
DC-powered. The power source is directly connected to the shelf power
supply for the AC-powered system and to the shelf power converter for the
DC-powered system.
