Each channel on MIM-8ASE/MIM-16ASE has only one LED. It is ON when the link is connected, and blinks when the link is active (that is, transmitting/receiving data).

Interface Cable There are two types of interface cables for MIM-8ASE and MIM-16ASE: AUX cable and dumb terminal cable (RJ-45-RJ-45), which can be made on site using a network cable. See Low-End and Mid-Range Series Routers Cable Manual for their pinouts.

 

CAUTION: AUX cable is optional. When ordering an MIM-8ASE or MIM-16ASE

c module, please order an AUX cable also. By default, it is not provided. As for

 

dumb terminal cables, you can make them on site by reference to Low-End and

 

Mid-Range Series Routers Cable Manual.

WARNING: Before plugging or unplugging interface cables connected to an

MIM-8ASE or MIM-16ASE module, power off the Router. Online insertion or

 

removal tends to damage the module and even the device.

c CAUTION: Read the mark identifying a port before you connect a cable to it, making sure it is the correct port. Wrong connection tends to damage interface modules and even the Router.

Step 1: Check port type of the device to be connected and choose the correct cable;

Step 2: Connect one end of the cable to the Router and the other end to the peer device;

Connect the DB-25/DB-9 connector to the network device, usually a modem;
