2.2.2 Installation Procedure

Step 1: Ground the IP DSLAM by connecting a grounded wire (Optional). Ground Connections

This section provides the grounding rule for the IDL-2402. All remote system sites must be properly grounded for optimum system performance.

„In Central Office:

There should be a CO GND that is adequately grounded. If the measured resistance from the grounding screw (on the rear panel of the DSLAM, refer to below figure) to CO GND is less than 5 Ohm, then it can be assumed that the system is well grounded. If the measured resistance is larger than 5 Ohm, it is recommended to connect the grounding screw to CO GND using #14 or #12 AWG wire gauge conductor.

„In Remote Cabinet:

The IDL-2402 should be grounded by connecting a #14 or #12 AWG conductor between the grounding screw (on the rear panel of the DSLAM, refer to below figure) and the earth ground or main grounding bar. The resistance between the chassis and the grounding bar should be less than 25 Ohm.
