Installing The Module

2-7

You also need a proprietary communications software package such as Windows ‘Terminal’ to communicate with the module’s management system. See the AccessBuilder ISDN Access Router Software Reference for more information about managing the module.

WAN Ports (8 & 9)

These ports are used to provide connection to a WAN over a private leased line. The port terminates with a SCSI connector. This port supports any of the CCITT data transmission standards; X.21/V.11 V.24/V.28 (RS232), and V.35/V.36 at data transfer rates up to 2 Mbps. Provided that connection cables that follow these standards are used, the unit automatically detects the type of interface that the port is required to support, and configures it accordingly.

Refer to Appendix A for information about the WAN interface cables required. Suitable cables are available from your 3Com reseller as spare parts, refer to Appendix A for the required item part number.

The PRI Bridge/Router Module supports up to eight ISDN channels. However, if you use a WAN port, one less ISDN channel can be supported. If both WAN ports are used, a maximum of six ISDN channels can be supported by the module.
