Chapter 9: Meridian Link/CCR interface cabling

The cable requirements for the IPE Module and the Application Module are completely different. For example, the Application Module uses power harness cables, but IPE Modules receive power from the IPE backplane and have no power cabling.

This chapter describes cabling required for the IPE Module and the

Application Module, and also provides procedures for connecting the

IPE Module and Application Module to external equipment.

IPE Module cabling

The IPE Module has two types of cable:

¥IPE Module cables

¥external cables (connect the IPE Module cables to the Meridian 1 system, the system console, the host computer, and Meridian Mail as required)

IPE Module cables

IPE Module cables connect the connector ports on the connector panel (for an Option 11 system) or on an I/O panel (for an Options 21Ð81 system) to the external cables. IPE Module cables also provide port connectors for the IPE Module. Figure 42 shows an illustration of the IPE Module octopus cables NT1R03AA and NT1R03BA. Table 41 lists the IPE Module cables. The Option 11 IPE Module requires extension cables to connect the recessed connector panel to the IPE Module octopus cables.
