2.3.2 Configuring Cable Length DIP Switch Settings
on T1 Cards
To configure the DIP switch settings on a T1 card:
1 Ensure that anti-static precautions are taken. Refer to Section 1.2 for
anti-static precautions.
2 Make note of the orientation of the cables and disconnect them from the
selected card.
3 Using a Phillips screwdriver, fully loosen the two captive screws located at the
top and bottom of the card.
4 Remove the T1 card by firmly pulling the two white tabs located at the top and
bottom of the card.
5 See Figure 2-7 to locate the DIP switch.
6 On T1 cards, the DIP switch setting is determined by the cable distance from
the card to the DSX-1 demarcation point. The following table provides the
appropriate Port 0 and Port 1 DIP switch settings for DSX-1 demarcation
points located within various cable distance ranges.
In Table 2-9, the first setting (0-133 ft.) is the default and should
be used for all T1 applications unless
connecting to a DSX-1
demarcation point beyond 133 ft. When connecting two chassis
you will always use the first setting regardless of distance (up to
600 m).
