Installing a T1/E1 Module

Before you install a T1/E1 module (E4G-F16T1E1) on the E4G-200 router, have the following items on hand:

ESD-preventive wrist strap
#1 Phillips screwdriver

You can install a T1/E1 module without powering down the router. However, you will need to reboot the router to initialize the newly installed T1/E1 module.

Note

The router might reboot itself when the installation is complete. Because of this, we recommend that you perform the installation during off-peak hours.

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to an appropriate ground point on the rack.
On the front panel of the E4G-200 router, loosen the screws that hold the cover on the T1/E1 module slot.

Remove the slot cover as shown in the following figure.

Align the T1/E1 module with the card guides and carefully slide the module into the slot.
Align and securely tighten the retaining screws, as shown in the following figure.

Installing a T1/E1 Module
To initialize the T1/E1 module, reboot the router.

To connect the ports on the T1/E1 module, use a standard T1/E1 crossover cable with RJ-48C connectors and the pinouts listed in Pinouts for a T1/E1 RJ-48C Crossover Cable.

Save the slot cover to re-use in case you remove the T1/E1 module later. An unoccupied module slot must be covered to ensure satisfactory electromagnetic interference (EMI) levels and to maintain adequate airflow through the router.
