Connecting the Network Cables
If you choose to use the T1/E1 Multiflex VWIC in a non-redundant configuration, you must close
Note
the relays on the card using the standalone subcommand. For more information, see the "Cisco MWR
1900 Software Configuration Guide."
Step 1
Confirm that the router is turned off.
Step 2
Connect one end of the cable to the T1 or E1 port on the card.
Step 3
Connect the other end to the BTS patch or demarcation panel at your site.
Turn on power to the router.
Step 4
Check that the CD LED goes on, which means that the card's internal CSU/DSU is communicating
Step 5
with the CSU/DSU at the T1 or E1 service provider central office.
The T1/E1 Multiflex VWIC uses an RJ-48C connection, as shown in Figure 3-4.

Y-Cable Specifications
Although it can be used in a standalone MWR 1900 router, the T1/E1 Multiflex VWIC is designed to be
used in redundant configurations. Such configurations require a special Y-cable for connecting the active
and standby routers. The Y-cable provides a dual E1 or T1 PRI connection.
