Making NV8576-Plus Monitor Connections
The NV8576-Plus has two frames. Each frame can have 4 monitor cards. The 4 monitor back-
plane slots in each frame are located at the left end of the upper output bay and at the right end
of the lower output bay of the frame.
(See Chapter 6, Expanded NV8576-Plus on page 97 for more information on the NV8576-Plus.)
Repeat these steps for each frame.
1 Face the rear of the router. The 4 monitor backplane slots are located at the left end of the
upper output bay and at the right end of the lower output bay. (See Figure 1-11 on page 15.)
The monitor backplanes are marked as output and input. Each monitor backplane has two
input connectors and two output connectors, labeled IN 1, IN 2, OUT 1, and OUT 2.
2 Connect OUT 1 and OUT 2 of the input monitor backplane in the lower bay to IN 1 and IN 2,
respectively, of the input monitor backplane in the upper bay.
3 Connect OUT 1 and OUT 2 of the output monitor backplane in the lower bay to IN 1 and IN 2,
respectively, of the output monitor backplane in the upper bay.
Connecting frame 2 to frame 1 . . .
4 Connect OUT 1 and OUT 2 on the output monitor backplane in the upper bay of frame 2 to
IN 1 and IN 2, respectively, of the output monitor backplane in the lower bay of frame 1.
5 Connect OUT 1 and OUT 2 on the input monitor backplane in the upper bay of frame 2 to
IN 1 and IN 2, respectively, of the input monitor backplane in the lower bay of frame 1.
Finally . . .
6 Connect OUT 1 and OUT 2 on the output monitor backplane in the upper bay of frame 1 to
the section of your monitoring equipment that monitors output.
7 Connect OUT 1 and OUT 2 on the input monitor backplane in the upper bay of frame 1 to the
section of your monitoring equipment that monitors input.
Figure 5-6 shows the monitor connections for the NV8576-Plus, for output monitoring.
