Connecting the T1/E1 WAN ports
An active T1/E1 is not necessary to configure the T-DAC. However, active T1/E1 connections are required when mapping WAN time slots to other WAN time slots. The factory-set default configuration of the Model 2616RC has the T1/E1 ports disabled.
The following types of cables can used to connect the 2616RC to T1/E1 lines:
•68-pin SCSI to 8 RJ-45 connectors cable, 6 foot (1.8 m) (part #10-3096TM68/8RJ45-6) (see section “68- pin SCSI to 8 RJ-45 connectors cable” for installation details)
•68-pin SCSI to 16 RJ-45 connectors cable, 6 foot (1.8 m) (part #10-3096TM68/16RJ45-6) (see section “68-pin SCSI to 8 RJ-45 connectors cable” for installation details)
•68-pin SCSI to open end, 12 foot (3.6 m) (part #10-3096TM68-12) (see section “68-pin SCSI to open end cable” for installation details)
68-pin SCSI to 8 RJ-45 connectors cable
The SCSI-to-RJ-45 cable (see figure 9) connects to the 2616RC via a male SCSI connector (see figure 10). At the other end of the cable, T1/E1 lines terminate on 8 or 16 individual RJ-45 connectors (wired as RJ-48C) (see figure 9). Each RJ-45 terminated T1/E1 line connects directly to a local patch panel or to another T1/E1 device.
