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.
16
Using a multi-mode fiber optic cable:
a
Plug one connector into the M-MSM-2 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.
17
Repeat Steps 15 and 16 to connect the remaining SSCs.
18
To complete the ring, plug one connector of a multi-mode fiber optic cable into P-MSM-2 port of SSC
10. Plug the other connector into the P-MSM-3 port of the NC.
The scenario is illustrated in the figure below.
