Connecting the Interface Cable

CAUTION:

■For the convenience of extending the connection of E1 120-ohm balanced twisted pair cable, you can use network interface connector.

■E1 120-ohm balanced twisted pair cable, network interface connector,

75-ohm-to-120-ohm adapter are optional accessories. Please select one when purchasing a FIC-2VE1 module; by default, they are not provided.

For cable pinouts, see Low-End and Mid-Range Series Routers Cable Manual.

c CAUTION:

■Some measures are taken to protect FIC-2VE1 module. Still, you are recommended to install a special lightning arrester at the input end of its connection cable to obtain better lightning protection when the cable is led outdoors;

■Read the mark identifying a port before you connect a cable to it, making sure it is the correct port. Wrong connection tends to damage the FIC and even the Router.

Step 1: Plug the DB-15 connector of the cable into the DB-15 port on the FIC-2VE1 module and fasten the screws;

Step 2: Connect the RJ-45 connector of the cable to:

■The peer device directly, if the resistance of the port to be connected is 120-ohm, and there is no need to extend the cable;

■A network interface connector and then the peer device using another E1 120-ohm balanced twisted pair cable, if the resistance of the port to be connected is 120-ohm, and there is a need to extend the cable, as illustrated in the following figure.

■The peer device using a 75ohm-to-120ohm adapter, if the resistance of the peer device is 75-ohm;

Step 3: Power on the Router and check the LINK LED on the FIC-2VE1 panel. It is OFF when fault has occurred on the link. In this case, please check the link.
