Meridian Administration Tools
The Option 11C Mini supports the Meridian Administration Tools (MAT)
application. For information about MAT requirements and installing MAT

MAT User Guides

Cross-connect terminal requirements
Allow for future expansion and equipment changes at the cross-connect
terminal.
The cross-connect terminal must have enough space for connecting blocks to
terminate the following wires:
five 25-pair cables from each Main Chassis
four 25-pair cables from the Chassis Expander
four conductors for the AUX cable from the Main Chassis
one 25-pair cable from each QUA6 PFTU
wiring from telephone sets and trunks
The BIX cross-connect system
is recommended for use with the Option 11C
Mini system. However, use of this system is not mandatory. You can use
some other cross-connect systems (for example, the Krone Test Jack Frame
for the UK and the Reichle Masari cross-connect terminal for Germany).
Only allow authorized personnel to access the Krone Test Jack Frame. Install
the Krone Test Jack Frame in a locked room or in an environment that
prevents free access to the equipment. The Krone Test Jack Frame must meet
this safety requirement to receive approval.
You can find information about the BIX cross-connect system in the
following documents:
