Cable a NIC Access Module

Cable a NIC Access Module

 

 

 

This section describes how to interconnect up to two NIC Access Modules to multiple HFC

Connector Modules or SIMs. The procedure assumes that a NIC Module supports only the

DOCSIS Modules installed in the same domain of the chassis. Therefore, if five or more

DOCSIS Modules are installed in the system, two NIC Modules are needed to support them.

In addition, the procedure assumes that DOCSIS Modules are installed in the following slot

order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13.

 

 

 

The NIC Access Module cables are used to interconnect the Fast Ethernet ports of the HFC

Connector Modules or SIMs to the NIC Access Module.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are using internal chassis Fast Ethernet wiring (using

 

 

 

 

a version 2 chassis and SIMs), do not attach any cables to

 

 

the NIC Access Module.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can use four of the RJ-45 connectors on the NIC Access Module cable plugged into

connector 2 on the NIC Access Module as Fast Ethernet interfaces. See Table 39 on page 118

for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We recommend you follow this procedure to allow for

 

 

future wiring considerations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. If applicable, remove the protective cover that is inserted into the RJ-21 end of the NIC

Access Module cable.

 

 

 

2. Firmly insert the RJ-21 end of the cable into the connector labeled 1 on the NIC Access

Module in slot 5 (see Figure 17 on page 49).

 

 

 

3. Tighten the two cable retainer screws by applying 4 in-lb of torque to each of the screws.

 

 

 

4. Locate the PORT 5 and PORT 6 connectors of the NIC Access Module cable and plug

them into the Eth0 and Eth1 ports of the HFC Connector Module or SIM in slot 1 (see

Figure 18 on page 51 and Figure 20 on page 54 for port labeling). If an HFC Connector

Module or SIM is installed in slot 2, proceed to step 5; otherwise, proceed to step 15.

 

 

 

5. Locate the PORT 7 and PORT 8 connectors of the NIC Access Module cable and plug

them into the Eth0 and Eth1 ports of the HFC Connector Module or SIM in slot 2. If an

HFC Connector Module or SIM is installed in slot 3, proceed to step 6; otherwise,

proceed to step 15.

 

 

 

6. Locate the PORT 9 and PORT 10 connectors of the NIC Access Module cable and plug

them into the Eth0 and Eth1 ports of the HFC Connector Module or SIM in slot 3. If an

HFC Connector Module or SIM is installed in slot 4, proceed to step 7; otherwise,

proceed to step 15.

 

 

 

7. Locate the PORT 11 and PORT 12 connectors of the NIC Access Module cable and plug

them into the Eth0 and Eth1 ports of the HFC Connector Module or SIM in slot 4. If an

HFC Connector Module or SIM is installed in slot 10, proceed to step 8; otherwise,

proceed to step 15.
