4. Tighten all four screws until the chassis and rings are securely at-
tached to the rack
5. Ground the rear of the
chassis to the rack by at-
taching the supplied two-
hole lug using 14 AWG
(minimum) insulated,
stranded wire to the dual
ground stud shown below.
Cabling a System
The MIX 56 chassis contains two independent systems that each require
cabling. Telect recommends routing cables to the side of the chassis the
system is on, not crossing the cables to the other side of the chassis.
The following instructions describe cabling one system. To cable the other
system, repeat these steps, but route cables so as to create a mirror effect
from the first system. If using as a DSX only, this requires using 64-pin
connectors on the other system that are the reverse orientation of those
used on the first system.
If you are using the system as a DSX only, route the DS1 signals to the rear
64-pin connectors. This method provides full DSX functionality, including
patching and monitoring, using the DSX jacks on the chassis front.
If you are using the system as a redundant or nonredundant multiplexer,
full DSX functionality is available when you route the DS1 signals through
the wire-wrap pinfields on the front of the chassis, rather than through the
rear 64-pin connectors. You can still use the system as a multiplexer when
DS1 signals are routed through the rear 64-pin connectors, but you will not
have patch-jack functionality.
