Cards can be located in up to 16 separate IPE shelves. Any card slot
in the IPE shelf can be connected to any other card slot; the card slots
connected together do not need to be consecutive.

Procedure 13
Connecting two or more Lineside T1 cards to the MMI terminal

Step

Action

Follow this procedure for connecting two or more Lineside T1 cards to the MMI
terminal:

Cable the DB9 male connector labeled "P5" (towards MMI
terminal) to one of the COM ports on the back of any TTY, a PC
running a terminal emulation program, or a modem.

Make the connection from the first card to the second card by
plugging the DB9 female connector labeled "P4" (away from MMI
terminal) from the first card into the DB9 male connector of the
second card labeled "P5" (towards MMI terminal).

Repeat Step 2 for the remaining cards.

When the last card in the daisy chain is reached, make no
connection to the DB9 male connector labeled "P4" (away from
MMI terminal).

--End--

If two Lineside T1 cards are located too far apart to connect the "P4" and
"P5" connectors together, connect them together with an off-the-shelf
DB-9 female to DB-9 male straight-through extension cable, available
at any PC supply store. All Lineside T1 connections can be made at the
main distribution frame (MDF) if it is preferred to not use the NT5D13AA
Lineside T1 I/O cable at the I/O panel.
