Installing Your Management Module
A management module provides the functional control for the 4000E BLC; the 4000E cannot function without one. There are several different models available for purchase. Refer to www.paradyne.com for further information, or contact your sales representative.
Installing a Management Module
An uplink module provides the upstream network connection for the 4000E BLC; a management module cannot function without one. Depending on the management module model that you plan to install in your 4000E, you will need either a Media Interface Module (MIM) or an Uplink Interface Module (UIM). Only one uplink module is required for operational purposes. However, two uplink modules may be installed, one in each port of the management module, if redundancy is desired. Refer to your management module or uplink module installation instructions for further information.
CAUTION
If a blank plate is removed from a management module uplink port, it must be replaced with an uplink module. DO NOT OPERATE A 4000E WITH A MANAGEMENT MODULE THAT HAS AN OPEN UPLINK PORT.
Procedure!!
1. Identify the appropriate slot for installation.
The 4000E is a five slot chassis: slots
2.Align the management module with the slot module guides. With the management module printed circuit board (PCB) facing up and the management module model name on the right side of the module faceplate (facing towards you), align the left and right edges of the PCB with the U1 slot module guides on the 4000E.
