Enabling Wetting Current on T1/FT1 DSU/CSU WICs
The WIC-1DSU-T1-V2 interface card supports wetting current. Wetting current is a small amount of
electrical current (60 to 140 milliamps) sent from the central office to the card to prevent the corrosion
of electrical contacts in the card’s network connection.
Wetting current may be enabled or disabled by the user. It is controlled by the placement of a jumper on
connector J2 on the card. Figure 60 shows the J2 connector and the jumper.
The feature is enabled by connecting pins 1 and 2 of the J2 connector with a jumper. It is disabled either
by removing the jumper or by connecting pins 2 and 3 of the J2 connector.
The card is shipped with the jumper connecting pins 2 and 3 on the J2 connector, which disables the
wetting current.
