IAO LAN and TCP/IP Cable Installation
Description
This section describes how to connect the IAO LAN/TCP-IP (LAN
10BASE-T) cable to the Metropolis
®
DMXtend shelf and to the
interfacing equipment. Perform this procedure if this cabling is
required.
Metropolis
®
DMXtend supports an IntraOffice LAN (IAO LAN)
interface for operations data communications to support operations
systems such as the Navis Optical EMS (formerly WaveStar SNMS).
Since the IAO LAN can be provisioned as an extension of the SONET
DCC, the IAO LAN can also be used to join multiple, otherwise
separate subnetworks.
All NE-to-NE OI features that are supported over the DCC are also
supported over the IAO LAN.
The IAO LAN/TCP-IP interface cable is available in two
configurations (cross-over and straight-through) and may be connected
to either the front or rear of the Metropolis
®
DMXtend shelf. The
following tables provide additional information:
•
Table 1-14, LAN 10BASE-T Cable Assemblies (page 1-52)
•
Table 1-15, LAN 10BASE-T Cross-over Cable Connections (page
1-55)
•
Table 1-16, LAN 10BASE-T Straight-through Cable Connections
(page 1-55)

Procedure
Step 1
If connecting directly to a PC, use a LAN 10BASE-T Cross-over Cable
Assembly (See Table 1-14).
If connecting to a hub, use a LAN 10BASE-T Straight-through Cable
Assembly (See Table 1-14).

Step 2
If connecting to the front of the Metropolis
®
DMXtend shelf, connect
the cable to the
LAN
(RJ45) jack on the SYSCTL circuit pack.
If connecting to the rear of the Metropolis
®
DMXtend shelf, connect
the cable to the
J17
port (
IAO LAN
) on the Metropolis
®
DMXtend
backplane and route to the left side of the shelf. See Figure 1-17, IAO
