If you go down to where you see G1000-4 manual crossconnect, I would  
assume the procedure for the CE-1000
is very similar if not identical.    You basically create the  
Ethernet circuit, but the destination is going
to be the same node and the slot is going to be a slot on the  
originating chassis.
