■The rack unit into which you install the AccessBuilder 7000 must allow for the door to be fully opened to remove existing modules or to install new modules. During normal operation the door must remain closed.

■The BRI Bridge/Router Module is two slots wide. You need two free slots in the chassis to install the module.

■You have suitable cables for connection to your LAN, WAN and ISDN ports. Pin-outs for the cables required can be found in Appendix A

■A transceiver connected to your network cabling and AUI cable if the 10Base5 connector is to be used.

■A standard ISDN line wall socket to connect the ISDN cable to the ISDN port of the BRI Bridge/Router module. If a suitably sited wall socket is not already available, then contact your telecommunications supplier for assistance.

■The ISDN telephone number of the remote ISDN unit in order to carry out the connection configuration procedure.
