Installing the NLI
cables and MGate
cards
This section describes the NLI cabling between a 2-node, 48-
voice channel EC 11 and an Option 11 switch. Use this
section as a “quick start” guide only. Details are explained in
the remainder of this chapter.
To install the NLI cables and MGate cards, follow these steps.
NLI cable length
NLI cable lengths are as follows:
• NTDK3302—3 m (10 ft.)
• NTDK3303—6 m (20 ft.)
• NTDK3304—9 m (30 ft.)
• NTDK3305—3 m (10 ft.)—to meet CISPR-B regulatory
requirements for some countries
Step Action
1 Configure the DIP switches on three MGate cards
(NTRB18AA) as follows from left to right:
on, on, on, off, off, off, on, off (on=up)
2 Install the three MGate cards in slots 2, 6, and 10 of
the Option 11 switch.
3 Plug the 50-pin connector ends of three NLI cables
(NTDK 3302/03/04/05) into connectors J2, J6, and
J10 (which correspond with slots 2, 6, and 10) on
the Option 11 switch.
4 Plug the 36-pin connector end of the cable
connected to J2 into connector NLI1 on the EC 11.
5 Plug the 36-pin connector end of the cable
connected to J6 into connector NLI2 on the EC 11.
6 Plug the 36-pin connector end of the cable
connected to J10 into connector NLI3 on the EC 11.
ATTENTION
The same NLI cable length should be used for all NLI
cables on the EC 11.
