To continue your PA-MC-T3 port adapter installation, you must attach the port adapter cables. The instructions that follow apply to all supported platforms. This chapter contains the following sections:
Use only 75-ohm RG-59 coaxial cables for these connections. You must supply the cables; they do not ship with PA-MC-T3. For specific cable requirements and options, see the "Cables and Connectors" section of the "Overview" chapter.
 |
Note You must attach the ferrite sleeves (included with the PA-MC-T3 and shown in Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4) to 75-ohm coaxial cables that you plan to use for your connection. Attach each ferrite sleeve as close as possible to the port adapter end of each 75-ohm coaxial cable (as shown in Figure 1-3). We strongly recommend that you fasten together your transmit and receive cables along their entire length (as shown in Figure 1-4), which reduces the effects of EMI. You can use standard heat-activated shrink tubing or cable ties for this purpose. You can also use a 75-ohm coaxial cable pair that is available from Cisco Systems (product number CAB-ATM-DS3/E3). |
Each T3 link requires separate receive and transmit connections to your external T3 equipment.
Connect the 75-ohm coaxial cables to the PA-MC-T3 as follows:
 |
Caution To prevent system problems and to maintain the proper cable connection sequences, connect the RX and TX ports on your PA-MC-T3 as indicated in Step 2. |
Step 2 Attach the network ends of your two 75-ohm coaxial cables to your external T3 equipment as follows:
This completes the procedure for attaching 75-ohm coaxial cables to a PA-MC-T3. Proceed to Chapter 4 "Configuring the PA-MC-T3" chapter to configure the interfaces on the PA-MC-T3.
