Cabling the Line Ports and Completing the
Installation
This chapter provides instructions for cabling the Gigabit Ethernet ports for both one and two
SCE 2000 topologies, and for configuring Gigabit Ethernet (GBE) interface parameters. In a
topology utilizing two SCE 2000s (cascade), this includes the cascade ports as well as the line
ports.
When installing a cascaded system, it is extremely important to follow the sequence of procedures
Note
outlined in the section Installing a Cascaded System (on page 6-12).
Note
When installing an External Optical Bypass module, the SCE 2000 line ports are connected to the
module. See Cabling the External Optical Bypass Module (on page A-6) for complete instructions.
