Nortel Networks NN43001-563 I/O lter connector

160 ITG engineering guidelines

WARNING

Conﬁgure the ports on Layer 2 or Layer 3 switching equipment

as auto-negotiate.

If one side is manually conﬁgured, and the other side is conﬁgured

as auto-negotiate, the following situation occurs.

The auto-negotiate side sets itself to the manually conﬁgured

side’s speed, but alwayssets itself to half-duplex transmission. If

the manually-conﬁgured side is full-duplex transmission, then a

mismatch occurs and voice quality is unsatisfactory.

Recommendation

Nortel recommends that any network equipment connected to the ELAN or TLAN

subnet be configured as auto-negotiate for correct operation.

I/O ﬁlter connector

The other major TLAN subnet operation problem arises from the standard

I/O ﬁlter connector in IPE modules on Large Systems.

Use the following guidelines to avoidsystem interruption stemming from the

standard I/O ﬁlter connector in IPE modules:

•Ensure that the standard IPE module I/O ﬁlter is replaced with the

provided Media Card/ITG-speciﬁc ﬁlter connector that removes ﬁltering

from pairs 23 and 24.

•Do not install the Media Card/ITG-speciﬁc ﬁlter connector on top of the

standard IPE module I/O ﬁlter connector.

•Replace the IPE module backplane I/O ribbon cable assemblies with

those that have interchangeable I/O ﬁlter connectors.

•The TLAN UTP cabling must meet the UTP CAT5 termination and

impedance uniformity standards.

•The TLAN UTP cabling must not exceed50 meters for the ITG-Pentium

24-port trunk card.

The TLAN network interface can auto-negotiate to 100BaseT full-duplex. To

ensure the TLAN subnet can be used for voice, do the following:

•Install the Media Card/ITG-speciﬁc ﬁlter connector correctly by replacing

the standard IPE Module I/O ﬁlter connector.

•Order new IPE Module Backplane I/O ribbon cable assemblies that have

interchangeable I/O ﬁlter connectors if it becomes necessary to use one

of the IPE Modules with molded-on I/O ﬁlter connectors.

•Ensure that the TLAN UTP cabling is CAT5compliant.
