98 CHAPTER 3: MULTIFUNCTIONAL INTERFACE MODULES
Interface Cable The external interface provided by a MIM-1CE3 module is two SMB sockets
respectively for Tx (Transmitter end) and Rx (Receiver end). The interface adopts
75ohm unbalanced transmission mode and uses a pair of 75ohm unbalanced
coaxial cables to connect the peer device.

■ MIM-1CE3 and 1CT3 adopt the same cable, which is called E3/T3 cable in this
manual.
■ The standard shipment package of MIM-1CE3 does not include the interface
cable.

CAUTION: Some measures have been taken to protect the MIM-1CE3 module. To
achieve better lightning protection effects, however, you are recommended to add
a special lightning arrester at the input end of the E3 or T3 cable when it is led
outdoors.
Step 1: Connect the SMB connector of an E3 or T3 cable to the Tx port of
MIM-1CE3 and another end to the Rx port of the device to be connected;
Step 2: Connect the SMB connector of another E3 or T3 cable to the Rx port of
MIM-1CE3 and another end to the Tx port of the peer device;
Step 3: Check the behavior of the LINK LED on the MIM-1CE3 panel. It is OFF
when the line is faulty and signal is out of synchronization. In this case, check the
link.
MIM-1CT3 Module
Introduction 1-port channelized T3 interface module (MIM-1CT3) serves to:

LED Description
LINK OFF means the link is not set up. ON
means the link has been set up.
ACT OFF means no data is being
transmitted or received; blinking
means data is being received or/and
transmitted.
