Before installing the module, read the Safety Information at the front of
this guide.
BRI Bridge/Router Module
The AccessBuilder 7000 BRI Bridge/Router Module is a two slot wide
module and can be installed in any two adjacent free slots. The single
width rear card is installed in the right-most slot of the two slots, when
looking at the rear of the AccessBuilder 7000.
PRI Bridge/Router Module
The AccessBuilder 7000 PRI Bridge/Router Module is a single slot
module and can be installed in any of the AccessBuilder 7000’s slots.
Although the rear card contains two ISDN ports, these are not used as
the ISDN connections are made through the PRI Interface Module.
Installation
An AccessBuilder 7000 module consists of two parts; a front card and a
back card that both connect to the chassis’ backplane. It is recommended
that you install the module’s rear card into the chassis first and secure it in
place with the screws removed from the blanking plate.
The installation of the Bridge/Router Module into the AccessBuilder
7000 chassis takes place in three distinct operations:
■
Installing the rear card.
■
Installing the front card.
■
Connecting cables to the DTE and Line ports. See
“Connecting the
Cables”
on
page2-6
for more information about connecting to the ports.
Modules within the AccessBuilder 7000 system are designed to be hot
swapable. It is not necessary to turn off the AccessBuilder 7000’s power
supply unit to install either the front card or rear card of the
Bridge/Router Module.
