Connect Cajun P110 switches using the Exoplane cables, as shown in Figure 2. A
switch connects to its upper neighbor through two Exoplane cable, and to its lower
neighbor through another two Exoplane cables. Make sure you securely fasten the
cables to the connectors.
Cabling Requirements:
For correct operation, the Cajun P110 Exoplane must be fully connected, with all
units powered up. In case units are stacked, the Cajun P110 NMA must be
installed and connected to the Exoplane.
Failure to observe this requirement will cause the Cajun P110 units to block all
traffic on attached stations and segments.
When using the Cajun P114T or Cajun P114F in the stack, make sure all switches
in the stack are connected using Exoplane cables. Extra cables can be ordered
from your local Lucent representative.
