Installing the AsantéBridge 1012

Using the rear panel RJ21 connector

You can also access the twelve hub ports through a Telco punch- down block connected to the RJ21 connector on the rear of the AsantéBridge.

You can connect some devices to the front panel RJ45 ports and some devices to the RJ21 port.The only restriction is that you can- not connect the same port in both places.

For example, you can connect devices to ports 1,3,5,7,9, and 11 using the front panel RJ45 ports, and ports 2,4,6,8,10, and 12 via the Telco punchdown block connected to the RJ21 connector on the rear hub panel.

However, you cannot, for example, connect ports 2,3,4, and 5 to the front panel, and ports 2,3,4, and 5 using the RJ21 connector.

Now that you have completed a quick installation for your new AsantéBridge 1012, you should explore different ways to conﬁg- ure it in your network and learn how to manage it, using either AsantéView 2.2 network management software or a local manage- ment terminal.

For more information about conﬁguring your new unit in your network, see the next chapter,“Connecting to the Network”.

For information on AsantéBridge local management, see “AsantéBridge Local Management”, also in this manual.
