2. Cabling2600-A2-GN20-50 April 2005 2-34. Tighten the cable tie around the connector and trim the excess.5. If you use an internal POTS splitter, repeat Step 1 through Step 4, substitutingPOTS 1–24 for DSL PORTS 1–24.6. Secure the cables as required for strain relief.GigE Uplink (Port 3)Port 3 comprises two interfaces, only one of which may be used at a time: An 8-position modular jack providing support for 1000BaseT A Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) socket providing, with the appropriatetransceiver installed, support for 1000BaseX. A single-mode 1000BaseLXtransceiver is available from Paradyne. See Appendix B, Equipment List.Either interface can be used as the uplink for a single BitStorm 2600, or for theterminating unit in a stack of BitStorm 2600s.ProcedureTo use Port 3 as the uplink:1. Connect the uplink cable to the BitStorm 2600:— For a wire connection, plug the 8-position modular plug of your uplinkcable into the Port 3 1000BT modular jack. A straight-through cable canbe used regardless of the destination interface, since the portautomatically distinguishes between a Medium-Dependent Interface (MDI)and an MDI Crossover (MDIX).— For a fiber connection, plug your transceiver into the Port 3 GigE SFPsocket. Plug the LC connector of your fiber optic uplink cable into the cablesocket of the transceiver. Observing the minimum bend radius for yourcable, fasten it with cable ties in such a way that it will not be kinked orsnagged in the course of other cabling. If you do not know thespecifications for your cable, maintain a radius of at least ten times thecable diameter.02-17084
