• BNC connectors (four connectors per installed CDI-10 card) on each Traffic CDM-700
(depending on the modem configuration, either <4X> or <8X> BNC connectors are used).
If HSSI is the traffic data type, see Figure 4-31 and Figure 4-34 and do these steps to connect
and secure the HSSI Data Cable CA/WR9189-6 between the Switch and each CDM-700:
• HSSI (HD-50F) connector labeled “J2” on the Switch RMI, or “J3” on the Switch TMI(s), to
• HSSI (HD-50F) connector labeled “HSSI” on each CDM-700.
If OC-3 copper is the traffic data type, see Figure 4-32 and do these steps to connect and
secure the pair of BNC PL/0813-8 cables between the Switch and each CDM-700:
• BNC connectors labeled "J4 Tx" on the Switch RMI, or "J3 Tx" on the Switch TMI(s), to BNC
connectors labeled "Tx" on the CDM-700's CDI-50 plug-in module, and
• BNC connectors labeled "J3 Rx" on the Switch RMI, or "J5 Rx"on the Switch TMI(s), to BNC
connectors labeled "Rx" on the CDM-700's CDI-50 plug-in module.
4.10.5 Ethernet Traffic Data Connections – CRS-300 to Modems
You have two choices for handling Ethernet traffic data:
• If the Traffic Modem uses Ethernet as the sole traffic data type, then you must route the
Ethernet data through the Switch like G.703 or HSSI data. This is known as the wired-thru
method for processing data through the Switch.
• If the Traffic Modem uses Ethernet plus another data type like G.703 or HSSI, then the
Ethernet data can be routed around the Switch. This is known as the wired-around method
for processing data around the Switch.

4.10.5.1 Wired-thru Connections
For the wired-thru connection method, see Figure 4-32 and Figure 4-33. Do these steps to
connect and secure the CAT5 Data Cable PP/CAT5FF7FTGY between the Switch and each CDM-
700:
• RJ-45 connector labeled “J5” on the Switch RMI or TMI(s), to
• RJ-45 connector labeled “J1” on the CDM-700 (CDI-70) plug-in modules.
4.10.5.2 Wired-around Connections
For the wired-around connection method, see Figure 4-34 and Figure 4-35. Do these steps to
connect and secure the CAT5 Data Cable PP/CAT5FF7FTGY for each CDM-700:
