1. For network connections, connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to the
Ethernet 1 connector on the AVS 3180 back panel (Figure3-10).
Note You must connect your network cable to the lower port, Ethernet 1. The upper port is not active.

2. Connect the other end of the network cable to a hub or switch in your network.
3. Connect the console cable as shown in Figure 3-11 so that you have either a DB-9 or DB-25
connector on one end, as required by the serial port for your console/computer, and the other end is
the DB-9 connector for the AVS 3180 console serial port. Connect the RJ-45 180/rollover cable
between the two d-sub adapters.
Note Use the console port to connect to a computer, console, or communications server to enter
configuration commands. Locate the serial cable from the accessory kit. The serial cable
assembly consists of a 180/rollover cable with RJ-45 connectors, two DB-9 connector adapters
PN 74-0495-01, and a DB-25 connector adapter PN 29-0810-01.
