Configuration

Connecting Peripheral Bays

Up to six peripheral bays connect to the SX-200 EL main control cabinet. You have a choice on fiber connectivity or copper connectivity. Copper provides a cost-effective solution for co-located systems.

To obtain fiber connectivity, the system requires Fiber Interface Modules (FIM or FIM II ) on carrier cards in the main control cabinet and each peripheral cabinet. Cabinet connectors can use a FIM or FIM II which means that a FIM can connect to a FIM, a FIM II can connect to a FIM II, or a FIM can connect to a FIM II. The only restriction is that both fiber interface modules must be of the same variant (1, 5 or 14 km), that is, a 1 km FIM must connect to a 1 km FIM

II.The carrier card differs depending upon the configuration.

In the main control cabinet, the FIM sits on a Control Dual FIM Carrier card or a Control Triple FIM Carrier card. The FIM II sits on a PRI card or on the Control Triple CIM card.

In the peripheral cabinets, the FIM sits on a Peripheral FIM Carrier II Card. The FIM II sits on a Bay Control Card III (BCC III), on a Peripheral Interface Module Carrier card, or on a PRI card. The same variant of fiber interface module (1, 5 or 14 km) must be at both ends.

To obtain copper connectivity, the system requires a copper interface in the main control cabinet and each peripheral cabinet. The CIM (Copper Interface Module) supports a distance of up to 30 meters or 100 feet between cabinets. There is only one variant of the CIM; unlike the FIM and FIM II which have three variants.

In the main control cabinet, the copper interface is a Control Triple CIM card (three onboard CIM circuits) or a CIM that sits on a PRI card.

In the peripheral cabinets, a CIM sits on a Bay Control Card III (BCC III), on a Peripheral Interface Module Carrier card, or on a PRI card. The CIM sits on the same cards as the FIM II does, but in a different position; the CIM is not recessed back from the faceplate.

If the peripheral cabinet has a BCC III, the FIM II or CIM on the BCC III provides the fiber or copper connectivity, to the main control cabinet.

If the peripheral cabinet has a BCC II, the FIM II or CIM on the Peripheral Interface Module Carrier card provides the fiber or copper connectivity to the main control cabinet. Older cabinets can still use the FIM on the Peripheral Interface Carrier II card.

Note: Remember that the PRI card in a peripheral cabinet is a separate bay on its own and therefore requires its own FIM II or CIM to connect to the main control cabinet.

The Control FIM Carrier cards and the Control Triple CIM cards connect the main control cabinet to the peripheral bays. Up to six peripheral bays connect to the SX-200 EL main control cabinet.

Control Dual FIM Carrier card allows the connection of up to two peripheral bays

Control Triple FIM Carrier card allows the connection of up to three peripheral bays

Control Triple CIM card allows the connection of up to three peripheral bays.
