Cabling a CTP2000 T1/E1 Interface Module
To install a cable in an interface module:
1. Ground yourself by using an antistatic wrist strap or other device, and connect it to an ESD grounding
jack, if available, or another grounding device.
2. Slide the cable as far as you can into the module until it clicks into place.
3. Gently pull the cable to confirm that it is inserted correctly.
4. Go on to “Cabling the CTP Platform for DC Power” on page 111.
For more information about T1/E1 interface module pinouts for the RJ-45 connector, refer “T1/E1 Interface
Module Pinouts” on page 51.

Cabling the CTP Platform for DC Power
After you have correctly cabled the RTM for the CTP2000 Series, you must attach grounding and electrical
wires before you turn the device on.
Three main tasks are involved:
1. Push the power switch to OFF. (The switch might have accidentally flipped to ON during shipping and
installation.)
2. Connect the grounding wires to the chassis.
WARNING: Always connect the grounding wires first (before connecting the power
cables) and disconnect them last when installing or servicing the device.
