INSTALLATION

INSTALL EQUIPMENT ROOM STATION CABLING

System 25 is connected to the building (station) wiring in two stages. First, the building wiring is connected to the Station Interconnect Panel (SIP). Then, the octopus cables from the back of the cabinets are connected to the SIP.

Accurate documentation during installation is essential to the performance and maintenance of System 25 and will make initialization and administration much easier to perform. The Voice and Data Station Records Form (Figure

2-26)traces the connection from the workstation where the voice or data terminal is located to the SIP. Obtain this form from the Implementation forms that the TC or TCSS has prepared for system initialization. When you install the station wiring, enter the jack number and SIP number for each terminal to identify each end of the cable run. Number and label the station jacks per local practice.

As the octopus cables are connected to the SIP, the port assignment for each station should be added to the Voice and Data Station Records Form. Port assignments are identified by cabinet number (1, 2, or 3), circuit pack slot number (1 through 12), and port number (1 through 8). For example 1-10-06 or 11006 identifies port number 6 in the circuit pack located in slot number 10 of Cabinet 1. The port number is the same as the octopus cable leg number.
