Wiring an R2MFC card
This section describes how to wire the cables that connect to the R2MFC card. The R2MFC card is
connected to the CO by either RJ48C or BNC connectors. The BNC connector is the default
interface. You can change the default connector either by setting the country - selection DIP
switches or by creating a custom country code profile through the CLI. See “Configuring the
R2MFC (external) link” on page 39 for information on how to change the active interface. Refer
to the Installer Guide for the Norstar host system for wiring not related to the R2MFC card.
If the 75 BNC connector pair is used, you require two coax cables for transmit and receive.
