Procedure 38
Connecting a Nortel CP PM Signaling Server
Note: Refer to Figure 58 when performing the following procedure.
1 Establish a maintenance terminal connection at the back of the shelf of
the IPMG. The com (SDI) port of the CP PM circuit card Signaling Server
is routed through the backplane of the shelf to the 50 pin MDF connector
on the back of the shelf. A special cable is shipped with the CP PM
signaling server that adapts the 50 pin MDF connector to a 25 pin DB
connector (NTAK19EC). A DTE-DTE null modem serial cable is required
to adapt the SDI port to a typical PC serial port.
a. Connect the NTAK19EC cable (shipped with the CP PM Signaling
Server) to the 50 pin MDF connector on the back of the desired shelf
of the IPMG.
b. Connect a DTE-DTE null modem serial cable to the 25 pin DB
connector at the end of the NTAK19EC cable. Connect the other end
of the DTE-DTE null modem serial cable to the serial port on the
maintenance terminal.
2 Insert the Signaling Server circuit card into an appropriate slot on the shelf
of the IPMG. The CP PM Signaling Server is hot-pluggable so it may be
inserted without powering off the system. The maintenance terminal now
has access to the CP PM Signaling Server through the 50-pin MDF
connector associated with the card slot that the CP PM Signaling Server
is inserted into on the IPMG.
3 Connect the Signaling Server to the TLAN subnet. Insert the RJ-45 CAT5
(or better) cable into the TLAN port (TLAN network interface) on the front
of the Signaling Server. The TLAN port is the middle one of the three
network interfaces.
4 Connect the Signaling Server to the ELAN subnet. Insert the RJ-45 CAT5
(or better) cable into the ELAN port (ELAN network interface) on the front
of the Signaling Server. The ELAN port is the bottom one of the three
network interfaces.
