The EQX-OP288-XLINK and EQX-OP576-XLINK are installed in the EQX 16RU router.
"
The EQX 16RU frame must be factory X-LINK enabled; the frame type must be
EQX16FR-XLINK or part of an EQX package with –XLINK option. The EQX-OP288-
XLINK and EQX-OP576-XLINK output modules will not work in any of the non-XLINK
enabled EQX 16RU frames. The EQX 16RU non-XLINK enabled router cannot be
upgraded in the field, this is an option only installed at the factory. The EQX-
OP288/576-XLINK module is installed in the very bottom of the EQX 16RU router, see
Figure 3-3 for location details.
"
To obtain outputs from this output module, the lower or third cross point must be
installed in the router.

must be dedicated to this function.
