Chapter 14 Connecting Cables
Step 2 The Cisco cabinet has tie-downs inside the cabinet to hold cabling in place. If using a Cisco cabinet,
pull the tie downs apart as applicable, place the routed cable in position, wrap the ties around the cable
and remake the loops by pressing the two sections together.
Step 3 Connect the cables to the applicable connectors on the line modules.
Remember, the RCV is an input to the BPX switch and XMT is an output from the BPX switch. The
ports are numbered from top to bottom.
Step 4 Record which slot and port number you are using for each trunk or line. You'll need this information
later when configuring the network.
Step 5 A Y-Cable redundancy connection for the SMF-2-BC backcard is shown in Figure 14-3.
Step 6 For card redundancy, make sure there are two appropriate line modules equipped in adjacent slots.
Step 7 Connect two legs of the Y-cable to the XMT connectors on the same port on each of the two line
modules (see Figure 14-3). Do the same with the two RCV connectors.
Note: Y-redundancy is supported on these cards:
