Procedure 5-6
Connecting external synchronization interface (ESI)
and alarm cables
Use this procedure to connect the external synchronization interface (ESI)
and alarm cables to the 6200 network element.
Note 1: For Fan+OAM, the BITSIN-1-10-1 interface can be used to
provision a 2MHz Clock in SDH mode whereas it cannot be used in
SONET mode. The BITSIN-1-10-2 interface can be used to provision
2MBits Data in SDH mode and 1.544 MBits Data in SONET mode.
Note 2: For Fan+OAMV2, the BITSIN-1-10-1 interface can be used to
provision a 2MHz Clock in SDH mode and 1.544 MBits Data in SONET
mode. The BITSIN-1-10-2 interface can be used to provision 2MBits Data
in SDH mode and 1.544 MBits Data in SONET mode.
For details on supported signals depending on hardware and SDH mode /
SONET mode, refer to Planning Guide, S78-1002-110.
Prerequisites
Make sure that the following tools and materials are available:
• standard installer tool kit
• 120/100 Ohm ESI-Data cable or 75 Ohm ESI-Data cable
• ESI-Clk USB cable
• two alarm cables
For details on ordering information for the ESI and alarm cables, refer to the
Planning Guide, S78-1002-110.
Action
Step Action
1 Connect the connectorized end of the ESI and alarm cables to the respective
RJ-45/USB connectors on the Fan+OAM or Fan+OAMV2 circuit pack. Refer
to Table 11-5 on page 11-4, Table 11-3 on page 11-2, and Table 11-4 on page
11-3 for cable color coding of ESI, alarm out, and alarm in cables respectively.
2 Ensure that the retention slide operates to hold the connectors in place.
3 Route the cables along the left side of the rack and terminate them to the
desired equipment. See Figure 5-14 on page 5-26, Figure 5-15 on page 5-27,
Figure 5-16 on page 5-28, Figure 5-12 on page 5-24, and Figure 5-13 on
page 5-25.
