74 Enterasys Xpedition 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide
To attach the segment cables to your Quad Serial – C/CE line card:
1. Obtain one of the Enterasys connector cables described on page 72 and connect the
single LFH-60 high density connector to the XP WAN interface you wish to use.
2. Plug the remote end of the connector for each port you wish to use into its respective
CSU/DSU data port.
Dual HSSI Line Card
The Dual HSSI line card uses a 50-pin High Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) connector to link
to a Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU). Enterasys offers a 3-meter
(10-foot) 50-pin HSSI connector cable (part number SYS-HSSI-CAB) to connect Dual
HSSI line cards to remote CSU/DSU modules.
The following table maps the pin assignments for Enterasys’s 50-pin HSSI connector for
the Dual HSSI line card.
Note: Because neither connector at the ends of the SYS-HSSI-CAB cable is keyed, you
can simply plug either end of the cable into either your Dual HSSI line card or the
remote HSSI CSU/DSU data port.
