Perform an out of the box Test
We highly recommend a quick test to ensure the working order of you 850 CPE
units. To do this, please use one of the Telephone patch cords provided and
attach to the 850 CPE Interlink port and then to the 8950 DSLAM Interlink port.
Power up both 850 CPE units and the 8950 DSLAM Concentrator. The Green Sync
LEDs will start flickering slowly and then fast as the units talk to eachother. After
a few seconds you should see a solid Green Interlink Sync LED on each 850 CPE
unit to confirm a link is established. The 8950 DSLAM will take about 30 seconds
to startup then link will be established with the 850 CPE. This confirms basic
proper operation of the units. Next for a more detailed test and to confirm your
LAN Equipment works with the 850 CPE, connect your Ethernet LAN to the 8950
DSLAM and remote device to the 850 CPE LAN ports and test connectivity. The
Green Interlink Sync LED will pulse rapidly as it detects traffic.
LED indicators will provide visual operational status of the 850 CPEunits.
Sync - Slow to fast flicker on power up – indicates negotiation of a link.
Solid Green LED indicates link established and rapid pulse is traffic.
Pwr - Solid Green LED indicates that both units are receiving 5v power.
Mode - Solid Yellow LED on CPE unit only – No LED lit on CO
ACT - Yellow LEDs – Lit solid indicates the presence of local LAN
– Blinking indicates the presence of local LAN traffic
Performing the On-Site Installation
After removing the Enable-IT 850 CPE Extended Ethernet from the box and performing
the out of the box testing all that remains to install the unit on-site is to mount the unit,
build the interconnect wiring, add voice lines if needed and attach the LAN device
cabling with the provided Ethernet Patch cords.
Building the 850 CPE Interlink wiring
The most important aspect of the install is the correct wiring of the Interlink cabling.
You have the option of using RJ-11 blank male heads for this cabling.
For all wiring you will need to crimp a RJ-11 to each end of the contiguous wire run
and using the following pins (1 & 2) straight through. This will deliver 1 Voice line,
Ethernet Data. Insert the completed RJ-11 ends into the 850 CPE Interlink port on
each 850 CPE unit and to the 8950 DSLAM Concentrator.
The 850 CPE Interlink port (RJ-11 interface) carries this 1-pair signaling over the RJ-
11 pins (1 & 2) - used for transport for both voice and data. If you use more than 1-
pair of wiring such as a CAT5 segment, the RJ-45 pins (3 & 6) are used for Voice
