Connecting cables to BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet
Connect twisted-wire pairs in T1/E1 cables to appropriate Z-IDC punchdown blocks (or
equivalent) -- for AWS 8420 and all versions of BTS 8420 except Digital Only version with two
Digital Shelves.
How to route and connect T1/E1 cables to BTS
8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet
Important! Z-IDC punchdown blocks are used only if the distance from the NIU to
the BTS 8420/AWS 8420 is greater than the 10 meter (33 foot) cable length.
Otherwise, T1/E1 connections are made directly to the NIU.
Each T1/E1 cable contains eight twisted-wire pairs. One end is terminated with a
25-pin, D-sub connector. The 25-pin, D-sub connector is connected to the BTS
8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet. The end with loose wires is punched down at the
Z-IDC punchdown blocks (i.e., punchdown block 1-5 on the NIU) or equivalent.
When URCs are used in the Digital Shelf: T1-1 is connected to punchdown block 1
on the NIU, T1-2 is connected to punchdown block 2 on the NIU, and T1-3 is
connected to punchdown block 3 on the NIU.
Each T1/E1 cable supports up to four T1/E1 Voice lines or one Data line, as
follows:
• First cable (T1-1): One to four T1/E1 lines (one Data line or one to four Voice
lines, mutually exclusive) to punchdown block 1 on the NIU -- applies to URCs
or URC-IIs
• Second cable (T1-2): One to four T1/E1 lines (Voice only) to punchdown block
2 on the NIU -- applies to URCs or URC-IIs
• Third cable (T1-3): One to four T1/E1 lines (Voice only) to punchdown block 3
on the NIU -- applies to URCs or URC-IIs
Connect the T1/E1 twisted-wire pairs to the punchdown terminals on the EQUIPMENT
SIDE of the appropriate Z-IDC punchdown block (or equivalent) according to the
following procedure. See Step 10 for the Z-IDC punchdown block wiring tables.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

How to route and connect User Alarm cable(s) to indoor BTS
8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Overview
This topic provides instructions for routing and connecting the User Alarm cable
(external and power, if applicable) to the BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet. Each
indoor User Alarm cable consists of 16 twisted-wire pairs. The end, which is
terminated with a 37-pin D-sub, is connected to the BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio
cabinet. The loose (not terminated) end is punched down at the NIU.
Connect User Alarm cable(s) to BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet with integrated power
Perform the following steps when connecting User Alarm cable(s) to the BTS
8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet with integrated power.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
For the AWS 8420 and all versions of the BTS 8420 radio cabinet with integrated
1
power (except the BTS 8420 Digital Only version with two Digital Shelves), locate the
two User Alarm cable(s) shipped with the cabinet. Mark the first cable “Alarms 0-15”
at both ends. Mark the second cable (if there is one) with “Alarms 16-31“ at both
ends. For configurations with non-Alcatel-Lucent power, connect the “Alarms 16-31”
cable to the bracket on top of the Integrated Power Module. Refer to the figure below.
For the BTS 8420 Digital Only version with two Digital Shelves radio cabinet with

Connecting cables to BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet
How to route and connect User Alarm cable(s) to indoor
BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet
Connect User Alarm cable(s) to Z-IDC punchdown block(s) (or equivalent) -- for all BTS
8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinets except Digital Only version with two Digital Shelves.
Important! Z-IDC punchdown blocks are used only if the NIU is located more
than the 10 meter (33 foot) cable length distance from the BTS 8420/AWS 8420.
Otherwise, User Alarm connections are made directly to the NIU. The customer
may use the Z-IDC (or NIU) to collect alarm cables from various locations. Use
the following steps only if connecting to a Z-IDC. Otherwise, use only the tables to
determine how to make connections at NIU.
Use the following procedure to connect the User Alarm cables (External Alarms and
Power Alarms, if applicable) to the punchdown terminals on the EQUIPMENT side of
the Z-IDC punchdown block(s) (or equivalent), located at the NIU. (Refer to the figure
on Page 5-11 for a simplified wiring diagram of User Alarm cabling from the Z-IDC
punchdown blocks to the BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet.)
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
Locate the cables labeled “Alarms 0-15” and “Alarms 16-31,” and Z-IDC punchdown

E ND OF STEPS
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
Connect User Alarm cable(s) to Z-IDC punchdown block(s) (or equivalent) -- for BTS 8420
Digital Only version with two Digital Shelves.
Important! Z-IDC punchdown blocks are used only if the NIU is located more
than the 10 meter (33 foot) cable length distance from the BTS 8420. Otherwise,
User Alarm connections are made directly to the NIU. The customer may use the
Z-IDC (or NIU) to collect alarm cables from various locations. Use the following
steps only if connecting to a Z-IDC. Otherwise, use only the tables to determine
how to make connections at NIU.
Use the following procedure to connect User Alarm cables (i.e., external User
Alarms and Power Alarms) to the punchdown terminals on the EQUIPMENT side
of the Z-IDC punchdown block(s), or equivalent, on the NIU. Refer to the figure
on page 5-12 for a simplified wiring diagram of the User Alarm cabling from the
Z-IDC punchdown blocks to the BTS 8420 radio cabinet with two Digital Shelves.
