Chapter 4 Installing a Cisco 6160 Without a POTS Splitter Configuration
Installation Procedures
Note For more information on a subtended network configuration, see the “Subtended Network
Configuration” section on page 1-6.
The term subtending refers to the host chassis, and subtended refers to the downstream chassis in a
subtended network.
Cisco does not provide the cables for the subtending connections. See Table 2-4 for cable specifications.
4.2.10.1 DS3 Subtending Connections
Complete the following steps to connect the DS3 subtending connections:
Note For more information about DS3 subtending connections, see the “Subtended Network Configuration
with DS3/2DS3 or OC-3c/2DS3 NI-2 Cards” section on page 1-9.
Step 1 Verify that the DS3/2DS3 or OC-3c/2DS3 NI-2 card is installed in slot 10 (or slot 11, if a secondary NI-2
card is installed for redundancy) of the Cisco 6160 chassis to ensure that the DS3 NI-2 card connections
are active.
Note See the “Redundancy in Subtended Configurations” section on page 1-42 for more information
about redundant configurations.
Step 2 On the subtending host chassis backplane, attach one end of a coaxial cable to the TX BNC connector
for DS3 Port 2 on the I/O card.
Note See Table 2-4 for cable specifications. See Figure 1-19 or Figure 1-23 for DS3 port connector
locations.
