Connecting to a Serial Interface

The ARN supports up to ﬁve serial interfaces. You can connect

•Up to three, 44-pin serial cables to an ARN that contains an Ethernet/tri-serial, Token Ring/tri-serial, or Tri-Serial expansion module

•One, 44-pin serial cable to each Serial adapter module (the ARN can support two)

To connect to a serial interface:

1.Locate the RS-232, RS-422, RS-530, V.28, V.35, or X.21 interface cable. See the Cable Guide for Routers and BNX Platforms.

Note: The Cable Guide for Routers and BNX Platforms refers to serial cables that transmit synchronous data as “synchronous” cables.

2.Connect the cable to a serial interface.

The serial interfaces on an ARN expansion module are labeled COM3, COM4, or COM5 (Figure 1-9).
