TL1/X.25 Interface Cabling - Rear Access 
Description
The TL1 interface (also referred to as a TL1X.25 interface) is a message-based 
telemetry system. It is an alternative to TBOS or parallel telemetry. The TL1 telemetry 
interfaces with a maintenance center to provide DDM-2000 OC-12 system status 
information and remote command capability. 
NOTE:
Parallel telemetry is not available in OC-12, Release 7.
NOTE:
TL1 interface telemetry is not available with DDM-2000 OC-12 Release 1.0. 
NOTE:
TBOS is not available in OC-12, Release 7.
Procedure
NOTE:
The TL1 interface telemetry requires that each shelf in the bay be cabled directly 
to the telemetry system. 
(1) Obtain a Group 165, 186 or 166 (D.A.) TL1 interface cable listed in Table 2-5 on 
page 2-38. 
(2) Connect the cable to connector J61 on the rear of the shelf. 
(3) Route the cable out of the DDM-2000 OC-12 bay per Figure 2-17 on page 2-64 
to the telemetry interface. 
(4) Stack the cables in the bay cable channel as shown in Figure 2-2 on page 2-49 
or Figure 2-3 on page 2-50. 
(5) Dress and tie the cables in the bay as close to the DDM-2000 OC-12 backplane 
as possible without touching any backplane pins. Refer to Table 2-11 on page 2-
43. 
(6) Connect the other end of the cable as specified in the job specification. 
(7) Repeat this procedure for each shelf, if required.
