E3/T3 cables in this manual.

4.8.5 Connecting the Interface Cable

Caution:
By design, the 8.8 ROUTER 1-PORT E3 ATM FIC is protected against lightning strikes. But when
outdoor cabling is involved, you are recommended to add a special lightning arrester at the input end of
the E3/T3 cable for better protection.
Step 1: Connect the SMB connector of an E3/T3 cable to the Tx port on the 8.8
ROUTER 1-PORT E3 ATM FIC and another end to the Rx port on another device.
Step 2: Connect the SMB connector of another E3/T3 cable to the Rx port on the 8.8
ROUTER 1-PORT E3 ATM FIC and another end to the Tx port on another device.
Step 3: Check the behavior of the LINK LED on the 8.8 ROUTER 1-PORT E3 ATM
FIC panel: OFF means fault occurs on the line and the signal is out of synchronization.
Check the line status.
