2 Connect to the ‘OUT 1’ monitor connection using a DIN 1.0/2.3 connector and 1855A Belden
cable, or an equivalent.
3 Connect the other end of the cable to the monitoring equipment being used to monitor outgoing
signals.
4 Connect to the ‘OUT 2’ monitor connection using a DIN 1.0/2.3 connector and 1855A Belden
cable, or an equivalent.
5 Connect the other end of the cable to the monitoring equipment being used to monitor outgoing
signals.
6 If connecting two NV8288-Plus routers together, connect the monitor expansion connections.
(See Monitor Expansion Connections on page 45.)
Monitor Expansion Connections
The monitor connections are housed on a backplane containing 4 DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors. If two
NV8288-Plus routers are connected together, additional monitor expansion connections between
the routers must be connected. One router acts as the primary router. This is the router that is
directly connected to the monitoring equipment. The secondary, connected router is connected to
the primary router’s monitor expansion connections. (See
Making Monitor Connections on
page 44.) This enables the monitoring of outgoing signals for both routers through the primary
