1-8 CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
Pre-installation Requirements
Before you install your AccessBuilder 500 you will need the following:
■A suitable cable for connection to your LAN (or workstation if only a single workstation is attached to this unit).
■A transceiver connected to your network cabling if the AUI port is to be used.
Although the AccessBuilder 500 has two LAN connections (AUI and 10BaseT), only one port can be used at a time.
■A standard ISDN line wall socket to connect the ISDN cable to the ISDN port of the AccessBuilder 500. If a suitably sited wall socket is not already available, then contact your telecommunications supplier for assistance.
■A suitable cable to connect to your ISDN socket. A 3 meter ISDN cable is supplied with this unit.
■The ISDN telephone number of the remote ISDN unit in order to carry out the connection configuration procedure.
■A suitable WAN cable if you are connecting to the remote site over a leased line.
