34CHAPTER 3: INSTALLING THE HARDWARE

Cabling the	The SuperStack II NETBuilder SI bridge/router has two Ethernet ports,
Connectors	either two or four serial ports depending on the model, and one of the
	following WAN ports: ISDN S/T (43x and 53x), ISDN U (44x and 54x),
	56/64 Kbps CSU/DSU (45x and 55x), or T1/FT1 CSU/DSU (46x and 56x).
	This section describes how to cable each port on your bridge/router.
	Boundary router models can use only one Ethernet port and only one
	serial or WAN port can be active at a time. You can cable the remaining
	serial or WAN ports to be used as back-up. If you upgrade to full router
	software, the second Ethernet port and back-up serial ports will be
	functional.

Cabling the LAN Connectors

You can cable one or two Ethernet connectors using either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cabling. If you have a boundary router, cable only the L1 connector.
