3.4.2.2 RTM-8410 for Scalable Span Configuration
For fixed 63 E1 / 84 T1 span configuration and for scalable span configurations from 16
E1/T1 to 32 E1 / 42 T1, and 32 E1 / 42 T1 to 63 E1 / 84 T1, two identical RTM-8410s are
used - one housed in Slot #2, the other in Slot #4.
These two RTM-8410s provide the following interfaces:
A 100-pin female SCSI connector, supporting the following trunks (depending on the
chassis slot in which the RTM-8410 is housed):
• RTM-8410 in Slot 2: E1/T1 trunks 1-25
• RTM-8410 in Slot 4: E1/T1 trunks 43-67
A 68-pin female SCSI connector, supporting the following trunks (depending on the
chassis slot in which the RTM-8410 is housed):
• RTM-8410 in Slot 2: E1/T1 trunks 26-42
• RTM-8410 in Slot 4: E1/T1 trunks 68-84
Two RJ-45 GbE ports (for 1+1 Ethernet redundancy) ports per RTM-8410.
