Bay Technical Associates none manual Connecting Communications Cables

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers

The ARN also supports up to two of the following adapter modules:

•Single serial interface

•Single ISDN BRI S/T interface

•Single ISDN BRI U interface

•Single V.34 modem adapter interface

•Single 56/64K DSU/CSU interface

Connecting Communications Cables

Gather the communications equipment and cabling that you will attach to the ARN. If you do not have the proper cables, contact your network administrator or see the Cable Guide for Routers and BNX Platforms.

Note: Refer to Appendix C, later in this manual, for ARN cable interface descriptions.

Connecting to an Ethernet Interface

You can connect an Ethernet cable to any ARN base or expansion module that contains an Ethernet interface option. Each Ethernet interface option offers two Ethernet interface types -- an AUI transceiver interface or a 10Base-T interface.

Note: You can use only one Ethernet interface on an ARN base or expansion module at any time. For example, you can connect to either the AUI transceiver interface or the 10Base-T interface on a base module, but you cannot use both interfaces at the same time.
