Cabling the SRP I/O Module ERX Edge Routers
To connect the clock source input ports:
1Depending on the connector type, complete one of the following tasks:
•E1: Attach the BNC connector to Clock A’s External Timing port.
•T1: Wrap the “Tip” wire on pin marked T of Clock A’s External Timing port, the “Ground” wire on G pin, and the “Ring” wire on R pin.
Note: You can use a
2Attach the opposite end of the External Timing cable or wires into your network’s clock source A.
3Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the Clock B connections.
Console Ports
There are two ports located in the Console section (as shown in
Figure 4-3) that allow management access.
•The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 (male) connector. This port provides an out-of-band connection. (We ship an Ethernet cable with the system.)
•The RS-232 port accepts a DB-9 (female) connector. This port allows direct CLI access.
Follow this procedure to connect the Console ports. Refer to Figure 4-3 as needed.
1Insert the male RJ-45 connector into the 10/100Base-T port until it clicks into place.
2Attach the opposite end of the cable to your appropriate network device.
3Insert the female DB-9 connector into the RS-232 port until it is secure.
4Hand-tighten the DB-9 connector screws.
5Attach the opposite end of the cable to your terminal (VT100/ANSI).
See Chapter 5, Accessing the ERX System, for more information about management access.
