Connect the Ethernet Cables
The Ethernet cables are CAT5 cables with RJ-45 connectors on each end. The
cables connect radio sector controllers (RSC), utility bus controllers (UBC),
Ethernet switches (ES), application hosts (AH), and edge routers. The two
Ethernet switches are connected together with a cross-over cable; the other cards
use straight-through cables.
The Ethernet cabling is done via rear I/O cards. The Ethernet ports on the front-
facing cards are used only for debug purposes.
Table 4.15 shows the Ethernet cabling for a fully populated 6-sector NPM.
NOTE: See your E1 package for cabling information specific to
your NPM.
