Task 011: Installing the Data-only Connections
Use this procedure to connect the BitStorm 1900 to the EtherLoop
cross-connect in applications where no voice service is required.
Requirements
This procedure requires the following tools and materials:
• 5-BitStorm 1900 cable harnesses
• 5-intermediate cables
• Cross-connect block(s) of the same type used in the existing main
distribution frame (MDF)
• Cross-connect punch-down tool
"Appendix B: Cabling Specifications," on page 143 contains the com-
plete specifications for the cables and wiring required in this procedure.
Step Procedure
1.) Place and secure the dedicated EtherLoop cross-connect on the
facility main distribution frame.
2.) Route the Tip/Ring pairs originating from the StormPort/CPE lines
to the EtherLoop cross-connect.
3.) Terminate the StormPort /CPE Tip/Ring connections to the Ether-
Loop cross-connect block. Record the StormPort/CPE Tip/Ring
assignments of the EtherLoop cross-connect according to local
office procedures.
4.) Connect one Amp-Champ connector of an intermediate cable to
the matching connector on the EtherLoop cross-connect block,
then route the other connector to the equipment bay containing the
BitStorm 1900.
5.) Connect the J1/J2 split connectors on the cable harness to the
matching J1/J2 modem connectors of two adjacent modem cards
in the BitStorm 1900 shelf. Refer to Figure 2-20, "Data-only Con-
nections on the 66-Block with 4212 CO Modem Cards," on page
90, Figure 2-21, "Data-only Connections on the 66-Block for 6306
and 10306 CO Modem Cards," on page 91, and/or
