Cabling the Acme Packet 1100 System

After installing the Acme Packet 1100 chassis, connect all appropriate data cables to the ports before powering up and configuring the system.

Acme Packet recommends using fully shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables for media and management Ethernet connections to protect the Acme Packet 1100 System from potential damage.

You can install and remove Ethernet cables while the Acme Packet 1100 is operational. Not every port needs to be utilized for proper operation. However, when a cable is disconnected and the link is lost, an alarm is generated.
