How to Make I/O Expansion Connections Between Two NV8576-Plus Routers
1 Facing the rear of the first router (Router 1), locate the expansion connectors. There are two
28-pin connectors situated slightly apart from the output signal connectors on the I/O back-
plane. For each expansion connector, connect using Miranda’s expansion connector/cable
(WC0121).
2 Locate the output connectors on the expansion backplanes.
3 For each output, connect to each output connector using a DIN 1.0/2.3 connector and 1855A
Belden cable, or an equivalent, or a LC connector and fiber optic cable, or a WECO connector
and coax cable. For details on the signal number assigned to an individual connector, see Back-
plane Connectors and Individual Signal Numbers on page 14.
Caution The connector pins are fragile and forcing the connector can cause damage.
