Install G600 patch panels and external modem

The procedure to connect the TDM-/LAN-bus cable for three cabinets is essentially the same as 
described in the previous section, 

For three cabinets (A, B, and C), mount Cabinet A at the bottom, Cabinet B in the middle above A, and 
Cabinet C at the top above B. Between A and B, connect the TDM-/LAN-bus cable to the right pin field 
on both cabinets. Between B and C, connect the TDM-bus cable to the left pin field on both cabinets. The 
TDM-/LAN-bus terminators are installed on the left pin field on Cabinet A and on the right pin field on 
Cabinet C.

The optional patch-panel kit replaces standard 110A cross-connect hardware. If standard 
110A cross-connect equipment is used, consult DEFINITY Communications System 
Generic 1 and Generic 3 Main Distribution Field Design (555-230-630).

Patch panels are arrays of RJ45 jacks and associated B25A cabling to accommodate 2-wire, 24-port 
DCP/analog port boards and 8-port analog trunk boards.

A shelf is provided to serve as a mounting surface for the external modem and other optional equipment. 
The shelf can also be used to secure the B25A cables.

Refer to 

 on page 85 while performing this 

procedure.

Using the supplied mounting screws, mount the patch panels on the rack below processor cabinet.

Using the supplied mounting screws, mount the shelf on the rack below the patch panels.

Attach B25A cables to the patch panels and the circuit packs’ amphenol connectors.

Connect 24-port DCP/Analog circuit packs to the 24-port patch panels.

Connect 8-port Analog Trunk, “combo,” or DID Trunk circuit packs to either of the first 
two banks on the 8-port patch panel. If an 8-port BRI Trunk circuit pack (TN2185B) is 
present, connect it to the 3

rd

 bank on the 8-port patch panel.

The patch panels do not have to be mounted in the same rack as the cabinet. They can be 
mounted in phone closets as appropriate.
