INTRODUCTION

This procedure provides step-by-step instructions to connect the low-speed (T1/E1 or VT/
Port) cabling to the MX2820 shelf. The FutureBus connectors on the backplane of the
MX2820 shelf provide the physical interface to the network. These connectors provide the
Transmit pairs and Receive pairs for the circuits.

PREREQUISITE PROCEDURES

lation.The instructions for routing and connecting the low-speed cabling from the MX2820
backplane to the network should be performed according to Central Office (CO) Standard
Operating Procedures (SOP).
The MX2820 shelf should be mounted in its permanent location in the CO before connecting
the cabling.
DSX-1, DS3, STS-1, and 10/Base-T Ethernet circuits from the
MX2820 are not to be connected directly to outside plant facilities.
