Quick Reference Guide
• For a 5-slot carrier, label the line jacks on the other modules by starting
with the leftmost module and ending with the rightmost module.
3 Label the extension jacks on the processor module, beginning with “10” at
the topmost extension jack.
4 Do one of the following:
• For a 2-slot carrier, label the extension jacks on the other module.
• For a 5-slot carrier, label the extension jacks on the other modules by
starting with the leftmost module and ending with the rightmost module.
Grounding the System
You ground the system by running a solid copper wire from the processor module
to an appropriate earth ground. Follow these steps to ground the system:
1 Attach one end of a #12 AWG or #14 AWG solid copper wire to the
grounding screw on the processor module. The length of the wire must not
exceed 35 feet (7.6 meters).
2 Route the wire through the wire manager on the front of the module.
3 Attach the other end of the wire to the approved earth ground, such as
building steel or a cold water pipe.
Inserting Batteries in the Processor Module
The processor module uses two AAA-size standard alkaline batteries to guard
against the loss of system programming in case of a power failure. These
batteries retain the system programming for 45 days to six months, depending
on the freshness of the batteries. You should replace the batteries every year.
Although a 1600 DSL module has only one line jack, it supports
up to 16 lines. Therefore, the line jacks on the module to the right
of a 1600 DSL module in a 5-slot carrier are numbered starting
with “20.”
In Release 4.0 and later systems, the configuration of the 1600 DSL
module is not backed up to the PCMCIA card. Instead, the configuration
is retained in the flash memory of the 1600 DSL module.
