Planet Technology IDL-2402 - Manual (Page 23)

2.2 Hardware Installation
The PLANET IDL-2402 is a 1.5U high box-type IP DSLAM with rack-mountable enclosure.
It can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack by using the mounting brackets provided.
Mount the shelf on the rack using the large screws provided. The procedure to connect
and wire the system is as follows.
2.2.1 System Requirements
z Workstation with Windows NT/2000/XP
z RJ-45 cables
z RJ-11 cables
z Telco-50 cables
z RS-232 console cable
z <Optional> MDF Patch Panel (Model No.: IDL-PAN-48).
2.2.2 Installation Procedure
Step 1: Ground the IP DSLAM by connecting a grounded wire (Optional).
Ground Connections
This section provides the grounding rule for the IDL-2402. All remote system sites must
be properly grounded for optimum system performance.
„ In Central Office:
There should be a CO GND that is adequately grounded. If the measured resistance from
the grounding screw (on the rear panel of the DSLAM, refer to below figure) to CO GND
is less than 5 Ohm, then it can be assumed that the system is well grounded. If the
measured resistance is larger than 5 Ohm, it is recommended to connect the grounding
screw to CO GND using #14 or #12 AWG wire gauge conductor.
„ In Remote Cabinet:
The IDL-2402 should be grounded by connecting a #14 or #12 AWG conductor between
the grounding screw (on the rear panel of the DSLAM, refer to below figure) and the earth
ground or main grounding bar. The resistance between the chassis and the grounding
bar should be less than 25 Ohm.
