Four types of connections are required:
Connecting to an ATM Optical Interface
Connecting the Control Terminal
Connecting to the Ethernet Port
Connecting to the Power Source
Connecting to an
ATM Optical Interface
To connect a CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch port to another
CoreBuilder unit, to a LinkSwitch 2700 ATMLink adapter, or to any device
with an ATM optical interface:
1 Prepare an optical cable (Tx Rx). You may want to mark the ends of the
cable so you can identify them.
2 Snap the cable into a CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch port in one of
the interface modules.
3 Snap the other end of the cable into the selected optical interface of the
other ATM device. Make sure that each wire connects to Rx on one end
and Tx on the other.
4 Repeat steps 1-3 for all ATM port connections to the CoreBuilder.
Perform steps 1-4 above when connecting a DS-3 coax cable set (Rx and
Tx).
