4.10.3 Control Cable Connections – CRS-300 to Modems

The Control Cable CA/WR12361-1 provides the serial communication path between the Switch

and the modems and controls the modem’s external Tx IF-mute control line. You must always

use this cable.

See Figure 4-30 and Figure 4-31 and do these steps to connect and secure the CA/WR12361-1

cables between the Switch and each CDM-700:

HD-15F connector labeled “J1” on the Switch RMI or TMI(s), to

DB-15M connector labeled “P1 Alarms” on the CDM-700.

4.10.4 Serial Traffic Data Connections – CRS-300 to Modems

If G.703 is the traffic data type, see Figure 4-30, Figure 4-31, Figure 4-33, or Figure 4-35 and do

these steps to connect and secure the Traffic Data Cables CA/RF12278-1 and CA/RF12279-1

between the Switch and each CDM-700:

First, do these steps to connect and secure the CA/RF12279-1 cable between the Switch and the

Redundant CDM-700:

DB-15M connector labeled “P1” on the Switch RMI, to

BNC connectors (four connectors per installed CDI-10 card) on the Redundant CDM-700

(depending on the modem configuration, either <4X> or <8X> BNC connectors are used).

Next, do these steps to connect and secure the CA/RF12278-1 cables between the Switch and

the Traffic CDM-700(s):

DB-9M connector labeled “P1” on the Switch TMI(s), to
