Installing the BSX8000-5 in a BLC
The 12000E is a 14-slot Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC). Slots 1–12 are reserved for access modules (such as the AIM24000-48) and slots U1 and U2 are reserved for uplink modules. Although not required for operational purposes, if redundancy is desired, two BSX8000-5 modules may be installed in the 12000E, in slots U1 and U2. (Note: For redundancy, the two uplink modules in the chassis must be identical models.)
The 4000E is a five-slot BLC. Slots 1–4 are reserved for access modules and slot U1 is reserved for a single uplink module.
Procedure
1.Align the BSX8000-5 uplink module with the slot module guides of the chosen slot for installation (either slot U1 or U2 on the 12000E or slot U1 on the 4000E).
2.Slide the BSX8000-5 uplink module into the chassis. Do not use excessive force.
3.Tighten the fastening screws on the BSX8000-5 uplink module faceplate.
4.Verify that the PWR (Power) LED on the BSX8000-5 faceplate is illuminated.
Connect the MIM to the Network
Connect to the core network by using one of the fixed GigE interfaces or by using an interface from the added MIM. See 10/100/1000BaseT Connectors on page 14.
MIM-10/100
Plug your Ethernet cable into the RJ45 Ethernet port on the MIM-10/100 faceplate. The MIM-10/100 connects to a router or a PC with a straight-through cable and to a hub or a switch with a crossover cable.
Verify the connection: solid illumination of the Lnk (link) LED on the MIM-10/100 faceplate indicates an Ethernet uplink connection has been established. The MIM-10/100 Ethernet port is 10/100 auto-negotiating.
NOTE: Configure the remote device with which you are connecting to auto-negotiate (if applicable) prior to establishing your Ethernet connection.
MIM100F
Plug your Ethernet Fiber Optic Cable into the port on the MIM100F faceplate.
MIM-2000F
The MIM-2000F is a two-port fiber gigabit Ethernet interface, which connects to the Fast Ethernet Bus of the BLC. This will function but is not recommended for use with the BSX8000-5 Uplink Interface.
