Getting Started
Tools and Materials Requirements
External Clock Input
Cable
One twisted pair cable with 1.3–0.8 mm
2
(16–28 AWG) stranded wire and an RJ-45
connector on one end is recommended to connect the facility timing source to the
front-panel timing connection on the primary Stratum 3–4 module. A second external
clock cable can be connected to the other Stratum 3–4 module for backup timing, if
necessary. Refer to “Connecting the External Facility Clock” on page 36 for instruc-
tions to connect the external clock cable.
Ethernet Cable
One shielded Ethernet cable with a shielded RJ-45 connector on one end to connect
the facility Ethernet network to the PSAX 2300 system (requires a CPU2 or CPU4
module). A second Ethernet cable can be connected to the system for backup access,
if necessary. Refer to “Connecting the Ethernet Cable” on page 34 for instructions to
connect the Ethernet cable.
Alarm Cable
One 3.7-meter (12-feet) shielded Alcatel-Lucent cable with HD-22 26-pin subminia-
ture D-type receptacle (female) on one end and a pigtail on the other is orderable with
the Alarm module to connect the PSAX 2300 system to the CO audible and visible
alarm system. Refer to “Connecting the Alarm Module (Model 20N79) to the CO” on
page 36 for instructions to connect the Alcatel-Lucent cable.
Status/Control Cable
One 3.7-meter (12-feet) shielded Alcatel-Lucent cable with HD-22 44-pin subminia-
ture D-type receptacle (female) on one end and a pigtail on the other is orderable with
the Alarm module to connect the system to the CO environmental sensor and remote
control system. Refer to “Connecting the Alarm Module (Model 20N79) to the CO”
on page 36 for instructions to connect the Alcatel-Lucent cable.
Network Cabling
The PSAX I/O modules use a variety of cable types and connections. Refer to the net-
work site plan and “Connecting the Network Cabling” on page 43 for the I/O module
connection requirements.
Cabling Supplied with the Chassis
One 4.3-meter (14-feet) shielded cable (straight-thru, pins 1–6) with RJ-12 connec-
tors is provided to connect a PC or workstation to the system (requires a CPU2 or
CPU4 module) for console access. Two RJ-12-to-DB9/DB25 adapters are supplied to
connect the cable to the PC or workstation. Refer to “Connecting the Console Serial
Interface Cable” on page 34 for instructions to connect the console cable.
