14Connecting the Uplink LinesTo connect the SMD2000-24T to T1 service:1. Configure the T1 uplinks.No configuration is necessary for the SMD2000-24T to operate at default settings.However, if you wish to run uplinks at settings other than the SMD2000-24Tdefaults, configure the uplinks prior to connection. Parameter settings may bechanged using the Command Line Interface (CLI), Simple Network ManagementProtocol (SNMP), or the web-based management system. T1 Uplink ParameterDefaults on page 15 lists the device defaults for the T1 uplinks. ProductDocumentation Online on page 3 lists the user interface manuals.2. Plug your T1 cable into an RJ48C T1 uplink port on the SMD2000-24T faceplate.For most applications, a straight-through T1 cable is required. A connection to Port2 is shown.3. Connect to the remote T1 equipment. The SMD2000-24T requires only one uplinkconnection for operational purposes, although a second T1 uplink connection maybe desired for redundancy. Additionally, the two T1 uplink ports may be bondedtogether for a single connection as long as the remote T1 equipment is loopbonding capable. Refer to Product to Product T1 Loop Bonding Compatibility,(Document Number COMP-A2-GK44) for a list of loop bonding capable products.Using two T1 lines for one uplink connection nets twice the speed and data passingcapability of a single-line T1 connection. Additionally, use of a second T1 lineprovides automatic backup should one of the lines experience problems or becomedisabled.A single line T1 uplink connection may be established between T1 Port 1 or T1Port 2 and any standard T1 provider equipment.4. Verify Your Connections. The Port 1 Link (LK) LED flashing or pulsing greenindicates that a T1 Port 1 uplink connection has been established. The Port 2 Link(LK) LED flashing or pulsing green indicates that a T1 Port 2 uplink connection hasbeen established.
