RPI output connections
Feed the output pairs in through the bottom of the RPI and route the pairs to the output connectors.
Figure 74 shows how to route the output pairs. If you use one pair to power a base station, connect
the power pair to -PWR(1) and +PWR(1). If you use two pairs to power a base station, connect one
pair to -PWR(1) and +PWR(1), and the second pair to -PWR(2) and +PWR(2).

RPI input connections
Feed the TCM input pairs from the Business Communications Manager distribution frame through
the top of the RPI and route them to the input connectors (IBIX1 to IBIX4).
Figure 75 shows how to route the input pairs. The maximum number of input pairs in an RPI
installation is 16. Table 37 lists the pinout and signal references.

Caution: Ensure both pairs have the same polarity.
If you connect two power pairs with opposite polarities, you can damage the base
station and RPI.
