Signal Connections
Expansion Port
The expansion ports are standard 10/100Base-T shielded RJ-45 receptacles. To
connect the TimeProvider 5000 to an expansion shelf (TP E30 E1/1PPS+TOD or
TP E10 SyncE/PTP, use a standard twisted pair Ethernet RJ-45 cable (CAT5
minimum). The Ethernet management link and the DTI links share the same
physical RJ-45 connector, as shown in Figure 2-14, but they are logically two
separate networks. The expansion port from the IMC must always be used when
using expansion shelves to provide management messages via Ethernet. (The
expansion ports on the I/O card only provide DTI.)
Figure 2-20 shows the expansion connections for a TP 5000 with a single
expansion shelf, with redundant DTI connections from the expansion ports on the
IMC and I/O cards. Figure 2-21 shows the expansion connections for a TP 5000
with five expansion shelves. Redundant DTI connections for the IN1 and IN2 ports
on each expansion shelf are used to protect against various failure scenarios.
The connector pinouts are listed in Table 2-2.
