Step15 If you have upgraded to a DS3/EC1-48 card and are using 734A cables with UBIC electrical interface
adapters (EIAs), you must set the LBO for Ports 13 to 48 (DS3/EC1-48), doing so according to the actual
distance (in feet) from the LBX panel.
If you are using 735A cables, you must set the LBO for Ports 13 to 48 (DS3/EC1-48), doing so according
to the following conventions:
Actual distance from the DSX panel is less than 110 feet (33.53 m):
LBO setting is " 0 - 225."
Actual distance from the DSX panel is greater than or equal to 110 feet (33.53 m):
LBO setting is "226 to 450."
If you have upgraded to a DS1/E1-56 card with UBIC EIAs, you must set the LBO for Ports 15 to 56,
doing so according to the actual distance (in feet) from the LBX panel. Repeat Steps 4 through 14 for
any other low-density cards you want to upgrade to high-density cards.
