435.0. "AMP bypass switch" by HGOVC::LEUNGWINGKIN () Mon Dec 30 1991 04:31

    
    
    Hi,
    
    The FDDI PID mentioned that the external bypass switch can be ordered
    from AMP and the jack of the switch is MMJ.  However, I have checked
    with AMP that they only provide the following three types of
    interfaces:
    
    1. Modular Plug
    2. DIN
    3. MTE Receptacle
    
    so none of them is MMJ.  So what can we use ?  Does anyone know the AMP
    part no. ?
    
    What patch cable (from AMP to our DECbridge/DECconcentrator) should we
    use ?  Pin-to-Pin or Cross-over (how) ?
    
    Thanks in advance.

    	On a DECbridge 620, the Optical Bypass connector is MJ (RJ12)
    not MMJ.
    	You could find the connector pinout in the DECbridge 620
    installation manual. I copied below the pinout from the manual.
