3.9.3 Completing the data connection
The first
e
maGEN
card in the
e
maGEN
-PC connects, as
described below, directly to the OCD card in the
unit
e
system cab-
inet, by means of the RJ45 connector located at the end of the OCD
card. If two, or more,
e
maGEN
-PC cards are installed, you connect
only the first
e
maGEN
-PC card, card number 1, to the OCD card. If
four, or more,
e
maGEN
-PC cards are installed, you must connect
the fourth, or last,
e
maGEN
-PC card to the second OCD card.
If you choose, for a system of between five and 28 ports, as
described earlier, to take advantage of the Multiple Communication
Ports feature by placing MIMs on two different OCD cards, there
must be a data cable connection between the last
e
maGEN
-PC
card and the second OCD card as well.
NOTE
If your system has two, or more, OCD
cards, it is recommended that you also con-
nect the second, or last, OCD card to the
e
maGEN
-PC card assigned the ports
operating the SMDR features. This will
divide the communication load between the
e
maGEN
-PC and the two cards.
