To create a ring topology using only SFP MSM ports, perform Steps 8 through 14.
3
To create a ring topology using a mix of RJ-45 MSM ports and SFP ports, perform Steps 15 through 18.
4
Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a
Plug one connector into the M-MSM-1 port of the NC.
b
Plug the other connector into the M-MSM-1 port of the SSC 1.
5
Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a
Plug one connector into P-MSM-1 port of SSC 1.
b
Plug the other connector into the P-MSM-1 port of the SSC 2.
6
Repeat Step 3 to connect the remaining SSCs.
7
To complete the ring, plug one connector of a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable into P-MSM-1 port of SSC
10. Plug the other connector into the P-MSM-1 port of the NC.
8
Using a multi-mode fiber optic cable:
a
Plug one connector into the M-MSM-2 port of the NC that corresponds to the control card in Slot 1.
b
Plug the other connector into the M-MSM-2 port of SSC 1 that corresponds to the control card in Slot
1.
9
Using another multi-mode fiber optic cable:
a
Plug one connector into the P-MSM-2 port of the NC that corresponds to the control card in Slot 17.
b
Plug the other connector into the P-MSM-2 port of the SSC 1 that corresponds to the control card in
Slot 17.
10
Using another multi-mode fiber optic cable:
a
Plug one connector into the M-MSM-3 port of the SSC 1 that corresponds to the control card in Slot
1.
b
Plug the other connector into the M-MSM-2 port of the SSC 2 that corresponds to the control card in
Slot 1.
11
Using another multi-mode fiber optic cable:
a
Plug one connector into the P-MSM-3 port of the SSC 1 that corresponds to the control card in Slot
17.
b
Plug the other connector into the P-MSM-2 port of the SSC 2 that corresponds to the control card in
Slot 17.
12
Repeat Steps 10 and 11 to connect all the SSCs.
13
To complete the ring, using a multi-mode fiber optic cable:
a
Plug one connector into the M-MSM-2 port of SSC 10 that corresponds to the control card in Slot 1.
b
Plug the other connector into the M-MSM-3 port of the NC that corresponds to the control card in Slot
1.
14
Using another multi-mode fiber optic cable:
a
Plug one connector into the P-MSM-2 port of the SSC 10 that corresponds to the control card in Slot
17.
b
Plug the other connector into the P-MSM-3 port of the NC that corresponds to the control card in Slot
17.
