Note The ATM T3 network module has a sensitive receiver. If you use a short T3 cable, it is possible to
saturate the receiver, leading to bit errors. If this occurs, we recommend one of the following:
• Reduce the transmit level of the device attached to the T3 network module. Many devices have a line
build-out (LBO) configuration setting for this purpose.
• Insert a 4-dB attenuator on the receive side of the T3 network module.
Connecting ATM T3 and E3 Ports to the Network
Use a coaxial cable to connect the module BNC port to a T3 or E3 network.
