Connect twisted-wire pairs in T1/E1 cables to appropriate Z-IDC punchdown blocks (orequivalent) -- for AWS 8420 and all versions of BTS 8420 except Digital Only version with twoDigital Shelves.Important! Z-IDC punchdown blocks are used only if the distance from the NIU tothe BTS 8420/AWS 8420 is greater than the 10 meter (33 foot) cable length.Otherwise, T1/E1 connections are made directly to the NIU.Each T1/E1 cable contains eight twisted-wire pairs. One end is terminated with a25-pin, D-sub connector. The 25-pin, D-sub connector is connected to the BTS8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet. The end with loose wires is punched down at theZ-IDC punchdown blocks (i.e., punchdown block 1-5 on the NIU) or equivalent.When URCs are used in the Digital Shelf: T1-1 is connected to punchdown block 1on the NIU, T1-2 is connected to punchdown block 2 on the NIU, and T1-3 isconnected to punchdown block 3 on the NIU.Each T1/E1 cable supports up to four T1/E1 Voice lines or one Data line, asfollows:•First cable (T1-1): One to four T1/E1 lines (one Data line or one to four Voicelines, mutually exclusive) to punchdown block 1 on the NIU -- applies to URCsor URC-IIs•Second cable (T1-2): One to four T1/E1 lines (Voice only) to punchdown block2 on the NIU -- applies to URCs or URC-IIs•Third cable (T1-3): One to four T1/E1 lines (Voice only) to punchdown block 3on the NIU -- applies to URCs or URC-IIsConnect the T1/E1 twisted-wire pairs to the punchdown terminals on the EQUIPMENTSIDE of the appropriate Z-IDC punchdown block (or equivalent) according to thefollowing procedure. See Step 10 for the Z-IDC punchdown block wiring tables....................................................................................................................................................................................................1Important! When performing the following procedure, note that line numbers havealready been assigned to signal pairs by the customer during site preparation (i.e.,when the lines were punched down at the NETWORK SIDE of each Z-IDCpunchdown block).Locate the cable marked T1-1 and Z-IDC punchdown block 1. For the location of thepunchdown blocks on the NIU, for all versions of the BTS 8420 radio cabinet exceptthe Digital Only version with two Digital Shelves, refer to“Layout of Z-IDCpunchdown blocks” (p. 5-13)...................................................................................................................................................................................................2Route the cable through the cable strain relief clip at the top of the Z-IDC punchdownblock.

How to route and connect User Alarm cable(s) to indoor BTS8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................OverviewThis topic provides instructions for routing and connecting the User Alarm cable(external and power, if applicable) to the BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet. Eachindoor User Alarm cable consists of 16 twisted-wire pairs. The end, which isterminated with a 37-pin D-sub, is connected to the BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radiocabinet. The loose (not terminated) end is punched down at the NIU.Connect User Alarm cable(s) to BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet with integrated powerPerform the following steps when connecting User Alarm cable(s) to the BTS8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet with integrated power....................................................................................................................................................................................................1For the AWS 8420 and all versions of the BTS 8420 radio cabinet with integratedpower (except the BTS 8420 Digital Only version with two Digital Shelves), locate thetwo User Alarm cable(s) shipped with the cabinet. Mark the first cable “Alarms 0-15”at both ends. Mark the second cable (if there is one) with “Alarms 16-31“ at bothends. For configurations with non-Alcatel-Lucent power, connect the “Alarms 16-31”cable to the bracket on top of the Integrated Power Module. Refer to the figure below.For the BTS 8420 Digital Only version with two Digital Shelves radio cabinet withintegrated power, locate the two User Alarm cable(s) shipped with the cabinet.

Connect User Alarm cable(s) to Z-IDC punchdown block(s) (or equivalent) -- for all BTS8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinets except Digital Only version with two Digital Shelves.Important! Z-IDC punchdown blocks are used only if the NIU is located morethan the 10 meter (33 foot) cable length distance from the BTS 8420/AWS 8420.Otherwise, User Alarm connections are made directly to the NIU. The customermay use the Z-IDC (or NIU) to collect alarm cables from various locations. Usethe following steps only if connecting to a Z-IDC. Otherwise, use only the tables todetermine how to make connections at NIU.Use the following procedure to connect the User Alarm cables (External Alarms andPower Alarms, if applicable) to the punchdown terminals on the EQUIPMENT side ofthe Z-IDC punchdown block(s) (or equivalent), located at the NIU. (Refer to the figureon Page 5-11 for a simplified wiring diagram of User Alarm cabling from the Z-IDCpunchdown blocks to the BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet.)...................................................................................................................................................................................................1Locate the cables labeled “Alarms 0-15” and “Alarms 16-31,” and Z-IDC punchdownblocks 7,8,9,10 on the NIU.

How to connect twisted-wire pairs in T1/E1 cable(s) to BalunBlocks...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Before you beginThis module provides instructions to the installer for installating and connecting one tothree T1/E1 cables from the BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet to one to three BalunBlocks. (The Balun Blocks are customer provided and installed.)“Connect RJ-45 connectors to twisted-wire pairs in T1/E1 cable(s) ” (p. 5-64)“Connect RJ-45 connectors to Balun Blocks” (p. 5-66)Balun Block descriptionThe customer is responsible for converting 75 ohm unbalanced coaxial cable to 120ohm balanced twisted pair if the incoming facility provides 75 ohm unbalanced coaxialcable. Conversion of 75 ohm unbalanced coaxial cable to 120 ohm balanced twistedpair is accomplished with an Alcatel-Lucent Balun Block, or equivalent.Important! The Balun Block must be installed within the 10 meter (33 foot) cablelength from the BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet. The T1/E1 cable is connecteddirectly to the Balun Block. Four RJ-45 loose connectors are provided with eachBalun block and must be installed on each T1/E1 cable that goes from the BTS8420/AWS 8420 to the Balun Block, during installation of the BTS 4400 radiocabinet.
