Connecting Device to IP Network for 1-GbE Copper
This section shows how to connect the device to the IP network using the copper 1-GbE ports.
Intra-building connections of the device require the use of shielded cables grounded at both ends.
The intra-building ports of the equipment are suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports of the equipment must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the Outside Plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports, as described in GR-1089–CORE, Issue 4) and requires isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring
The device's management interface uses special string names to represent the Ethernet ports, as shown in the following figure:
Management Name per Physical Ethernet Port – Mediant 9080C with 12 x GbE Port Configuration
Management Name per Physical Ethernet Port – Mediant 9080C with 8 x 1GbE + 4 x 10GbE Port Configuration
