Connecting the Interface Cables and Checking the LEDs

All CES interfaces are bidirectional. You must use the appropriate CES interface cable to connect the CES BNC or twisted-pair PAM interface with an external CES network.

CES Connection Equipment

For CES traffic over twisted-pair, use the RJ-48C connect to connect the CES T1 PAM or CES E1 PAM to the external CES network. See the section “Preparing Network Connections” in the chapter “Preparing for Installation” for a description of an RJ-48C connector and twisted-pair and shielded twisted-pair cable.

For coaxial traffic, use the BNC connector to connect the CES E1 PAM with the external CES network. See the section “Preparing Network Connections” in the chapter “Preparing for Installation” for a description of a BNC connector and coaxial cable.

CES T1 and E1 PAM Network Connections and LEDs

The CES T1 and CES E1 PAMs provide an interface to CES switching fabrics for transmitting and receiving data at up to 1.544 Mbps (T1) and 2.048Mbps (E1) bidirectionally. The PAM LEDs provide status information for the port adapter module’s individual interface connections.

Caution T1 and E1 port must be connected to an NT1 device.
