TE-206 (VLX2006) Shelf

The TE-206 (VLX2006) Main Shelf (P/N WR-M2006-003-00000) can be
installed in a 19-inch rack, 23-inch rack, or be wall mounted. The shelf is
shipped with the 23-inch brackets installed but is also packaged with the
19-inch brackets which must be reconfigured prior to rack mounting.

The 19-inch shelf is designed to be flush mounted to the front of a standard
19-inch channel rack with an internal dimension of 17.75 inches. The 23-inch
version is designed for a standard 23-inch Telco rack.

The shelf can also be utilized in a wall mount application utilizing the Wall
Mount Conversion Kit (P/N WR-K2006-001-00000) and the preinstalled
23-inch mounting brackets.

TE-206 (VLX2006) Shelf P/N WR-M2006-003-00000

Includes 19-inch and 23-inch mounting hardware and power connectors.

Rear Interface Connections

The TE-206 (VLX2006) requires cabling any required electrical interfaces to the
back of the shelf. The rear interface panel provides termination points for DS3
(T3), DS1 (T1), FastE (ETHLAN), and management (ETH-R) services.

DS1

The TE-206 (VLX2006) shelf provides up to 14 DS1 interfaces at the rear of the
shelf via two 64-pin Champ connectors with shielded hoods and a #4-40 screw
to secure them to the shelf. The top connector is labeled “Out” and the lower
connector is labeled “In”. Refer to the user documentation for cable pin out
information.

DS3

DS3 interfaces are provided by six BNC connectors labeled 1 through 3 and “In”
or “Out”.

FastE

Four RJ-45 connectors located on the left side of the backplane interconnect
panel provide electrical FastE interfaces. If utilizing a protected FastE interface
at the rear of the shelf (protected by both cassettes), the corresponding SFP
port on each cassette may not be equipped with SFP modules. An unprotected
rear FastE port allows the use of one corresponding cassette port, but not both.
The left-most SFP port on each cassette corresponds to the top FastE
connector at the rear of the shelf.

Management

The TE-206 (VLX2006) has an RJ-45 connector for management purposes
located on the back of the shelf. It is redundantly routed to both cassettes and is
controlled by the active cassette. Using this Ethernet connection, both local and
remote nodes can be managed by TL-1 and HTTP (HyperText Transfer
Protocol). This interface is primarily intended for attaching Ethernet-based
devices, such as routers for the office LAN, to the system for management.

n Verify the selected cable is long enough to reach to the cable termination

location.

o Connect the appropriate cable to the shelf at the appropriate port until it seats

into place.

p For T1 cable connectors, use a screwdriver to carefully secure the connector

in place on one end using the screw retainer.

q Route the cables to the side of the shelf as shown in Figure 22 and secure to

the cable routing brackets using cable ties or lacing per local practices.

Quick Commissioning

The TE-206 (VLX2006) is a self-provisioning system, and on initial system
power-up, provisions all installed equipment and facilities. Verify the NE
inventory for the node using the Equipment Inventory menu option listed under
the General heading after login.

1. Connectivity

The front craft Ethernet port on each cassette has a default IP address so users
can configure the IP setting of the PC to match the default IP address subnet,
and gain access from either cassette immediately.

n Plug the User Port Communication Cable (or a crossover Ethernet cable)

into either RJ-45 user port. Plug the RJ-45 connector from the User Port
Communications cable into a PC or workstation with Internet Explorer (IE)

5.5 or higher installed. See Figure 23.

o Invoke IE. In the address field of IE, enter the IP address of the front

Ethernet port. The default address for the front Ethernet port is 169.254.1.1
with netmask 255.255.0.0.

p The PC must be enabled by the user to talk to the TE-206 (VLX2006) system

and must be running Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP, or ME. Set the PC IP
address to 169.254.1.2 with a default gateway of 169.254.1.1.

¨ Note: If using Windows XP, refer to the VLX2006 User’s Guide (P/N 800-

0026-43) for special instructions.
