PN: 1725-36126-001_K.doc 15
Install T1 Remote Module at Local
Site
Before installing the hardware at the remote site, the Primary shelf at
the local site must have a T1 Remote Module (CRC301) installed.
Install one Remote Module for each remote shelf to be installed.
Slide the Remote Module into slot 1 or slots 3 through 12 of any shelf,
until the card clicks into place. Tighten the screws at the top and
bottom of the card to secure it. The Remote Module can go in any slot,
in any shelf of the system, except slot 2.
Cards contain components that may be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. Before handling any of the cards, the installer must
attach the grounding strap (included in the Administration Kit) to his
or her wrist, and attach the other end of the strap to ground. Only
handle the cards by their edges. Do not touch connector contact
areas, do not lift cards by any of the components, and do not lay
cards down on their component sides. When laying a card down,
place it component side up on top of the anti-static bag in which it
was shipped.
Connect Intershelf Junction Panel
Connect two RJ-45 cables from the System Controller ports in the T1
Remote Module to the corresponding shelf ports on the Intershelf
Junction Panel (JPI300). Be sure the RJ-45 cable in Connector Aon the
Remote Module goes to the Aconnector on the JPI300, and that
Connector Bgoes to the B Connector.
The following diagram outlines the ports on the JPI300.

Network clocked T1 facilities
If the T1 facilities are Network Clocked, one T1 Remote Module must
be designated as the Master Clock Source. Connect the Sync IN port on
this T1 Remote Module to AUX port A on the Intershelf Junction Panel.
Note, this shelf must also be designated as the Master Clock in the
system configuration.
Connect T1 facilities
Connect the RJ48C jack from the CSU port at the local end to the DS1 A
and DS1 B ports on the T1 Remote Module. Port Acontrols slots 3
through 7 on the remote module at the far end. Port Bcontrols slots 8
through 12.
